A new Italian restaurant is opening in Harrogate tomorrow to serve up fresh pasta and speciality wines.
Pranzo Italian, at 31-33 Cold Bath Road, is the second restaurant from chef Marco Greco. He opened his first in Ilkley two and a half years ago.

This new Harrogate restaurant will be open every day from 12pm to 10pm except on Sundays when it will close at 6pm.
Although it has meat, fish and vegetarian options, Pranzo Harrogate does not have a large menu. It believes in serving a few dishes it can perfect.

As the restaurant has a large kitchen space downstairs, the chefs will be able to make fresh pasta each and every day.
Marco Greco, on the eve of Pranzo Harrogate’s opening, told the Stray Ferret:
“I have been looking for a new place for about a year. I know it is not the best time to open a new business, it was a bit crazy. But we are already fully booked for the opening night so it is looking good and I think it will be worth it.”
Pranzo Harrogate is the new Italian restaurant on Cold Bath Road.
Pranzo Ilkley is rated as the number two restaurant in the town on TripAdvisor.
Mr Greco has Italian heritage, learned to cook with his grandmother and followed in the footsteps of his dad who also opened an Italian restaurant.
He worked in his dad’s restaurant as soon as he left school and always dreamed of opening his own place.
Pranzo Harrogate has space for 30 people inside the restaurant and a further 20 outside under current covid restrictions.
It has employed 10 staff and intends to recruit more in the future.
