It is located in the former Italian restaurant Sorrento, on Gathurst Road in Orrell, which closed four years ago, much to the dismay of regular diners.
A new team has stepped into the helm and transformed Sorrento into Nuovo Sorrentos – which is Italian and means “new Sorrentos”.
They are Jason Wyatt, who previously ran a delivery business, Sevdin Nursin, a chef for 14 years at La Mama in Standish, and barber Ozkan Ozen, who runs Turkish Hairlines in Standish.
The restaurant is on the ground floor, where a host of popular Italian dishes will be served, including pizza, pasta, chicken and fish, while a traditional roast dinner is also available on Sundays. Many of the meals available will be gluten-free.
Upstairs is a bar offering a wide range of drinks, including beers, wine, cocktails and mocktails.
Italian memorabilia has been used decorates the venue, including items related to football teams, motorsport, film and television.
