Popular Italian restaurant Marzano has now officially opened its doors to diners having moved into the former Loch Fyne building in Walmgate.
The Grade II listed Foss Bridge House building in Walmgate was built for linen drapers W W J Whitehead – before being taken over in 1915 by the FR Stubbs ironmongery, which operated from the site until the building was put on the market in 2001 and converted into a restaurant in 2006.
Speaking whilst the inside was still under construction, owner Salem Khalifa said: “As with our current location, where we preserved elements from the 1928 George Mason shop, we’re committed to honouring York’s rich history.
