A BRAND new restaurant serving up classic Italian dishes will be opening this Bank Holiday.
Pasta Di Piazza on Broad Street opens for the first time on Monday (May 27), with owners expecting a busy day.
The new restaurant has a "versatile" menu, offering pizzas, pasta, meat, fish and vegetarian dishes.
The site of the new business was last used by café Patisserie Valerie until 2019 and then the RSPCA as a charity shop before suddenly closing in April last year.
Business owner Gaz Cani says he is confident that his new venture will be a success.
He said: "I'm really excited. I'm just waiting for the customers now and they have to give their verdict.
"We have some reservations - it looks like it's going to be busy. I expect a busy Monday."

The restaurant was originally slated to open on April 22, however, delays in the delivery of equipment meant the opening date had been pushed back.
Mr Cani, from Birmingham, has a sister restaurant in Acocks Green, which he has been operating for the past nine years.
He previously said he was drawn to Worcester due to its “vibrant” city centre.
According to its website Pasta di Piazza prides itself "in preparing all our food to order on the premises using the finest fresh produce and ingredients, many of which are imported specially from Italy.
It says: "Our comprehensive menu appeals to a variety of tastes, offering a range of meat, fish and vegetarian dishes along with the finest pasta, risotto and pizza."
