A new Italian restaurant opened its doors on Friday night after a £750,000 make-over.

Prezzo, in High Street, Rickmansworth, opened on Friday night and restaurant bosses say they have spent £750,000 revamping the restaurant – creating 20 jobs.

The High-street chain restaurant has replaced Remo’s, which left the town after 34 years.

Prezzo chief executive, Jonathon Kaye, said: “The restaurant will serve the highest quality food in comfortable and stylish surroundings.

“I am confident that Prezzo will prove popular and be a great addition to the town’s social and dining out scene.”
