Manchester restaurant Rosso closes after 14 years
Italian restaurant Rosso, which is located in Spring Gardens in the city, announced on social media that it had held its last service on Sunday night (17 September).
Writing on Instagram it said: “It is with mixed emotions that we announce the closure of our Rosso Restaurant & Bar.
“Last night, after nearly 14 years, we were delighted to hold a final service for our wonderful customers.
“It wasn’t an easy decision to close this wonderful restaurant which has flourished into an icon of the Manchester restaurant and social scene. It feels like the right time to go out at the height of our popularity and look ahead to new horizons.
“Rosso wouldn’t have been the same without our wider family, suppliers and our wonderful customers whom we have had the enviable pleasure of serving.”
Rosso opened in a Grade II listed building that formerly housed Lancashire and Yorkshire bank in 2009 and quickly became a celebrity haunt for footballers and soap stars.
It was refurbished in 2017 and relaunched with a white and gold colour palette.
In the Instagram post the restaurant said it believed it was the right time to close. “We always believed we should close Rosso on a high and we thank each and every one of you for being part of our championship team.”
