Manchester restaurant loved by the stars announces shock closure after 40 years

The Italian restaurant has long been a popular spot to the stars with Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs paying regular visits. Neville became such a frequent regular that the menu even featured a Penne Alla Neville dish inspired by Gary.

The stardom doesn’t stop there, Sylvester Stallone dined there as well as David Cameron and boxer Joe Fraser.

Owner Michele Pucci has said that trade has died since the pandemic and that it has simply become unaffordable.

Michele will now be helping out his wife with her cafe nearby as they say goodbye to a brilliant 40 years in a Swinton favourite.
