AC354-Popular Italian Restaurant/Pizzeria Prominent High Street corner location

Popular Italian Restaurant/Pizzeria Prominent High Street corner location

Ref.AC354
Location West London
Asking Price £200,000

Business Profile

A restaurant has operated on this very prominent, high street corner location for many years and 

was purchased late in 2016 by the vendor with the intention of adding a retail business to it commercial 

business. The vendor then invested circa £70,000 in a high quality refurbishment of the premises that 

included the reastaurant and food preparation areas as well as the frontage to the premises.

Since refurbishment the restaurant was opened in May of 2017 and has been busy since day one, 

proving to be extremely popular with local residents who enjoy the cosy atmosphere and high quality 

Italian food on offer, which is under the management, day to day, of a highly professional and full-time 

Restaurant Manager with the support of reliable full time and experience staff.

The menu is made up of quite typical Italian options, geared toward traditional British tastes and

includes various Pasta and Pizza dishes with a varied selection of starters and side dishes. The 

restaurant is fully licensed.

The restaurant also does very well with local residents with its take-away and home delivery service, 

which is particularly busy during evening and weekend periods. Opening hours are currently rstricted 

to evenings due to the vendor’s wish to not do too much, and especially since he wishes to now sell 

this pizzeria and focus on his other commercial catering business.

The vendor strongly believes that unexploited opening hours during early breakfast and lunch would

benefit sales greatly.
