Italian restaurant chain invests £1m in North Yorkshire move

Italian restaurant chain Gusto is set to move into York this summer following a £1m refurbishment of its newest site.

The Little Stonegate restaurant is set to open this July, transforming the previous Mulberry Hall shop into a restaurant creating 60 jobs in the area.

The 4,000 sq ft venue can seat 120, and includes a separate bar area.

Managing director of Gusto Sue Crimes said: “We’re so excited to be opening in York and join the area’s thriving food and drink scene. York is a perfect location for our clientele who want delicious food, fantastic drinks and glamorous atmosphere.

“Mulberry Hall is a well-known building in York, so we are going to convert the venue into our brand style, while maintaining and restoring many of the original building features such as the original brick work and beautiful windows and doors.”

“Our restaurants in Leeds have proven extremely popular with locals and tourists and we hope for the same success in York.”

Gusto, which is part of the Living Ventures Group, currently has 16 successful restaurants across the UK and the new York site is part of the company’s ongoing plans for growth.
