CoGoGo presents a fantastic opportunity to take over a much-loved and stylish Italian restaurant, known locally for its authentic cuisine, buzzing atmosphere, and glowing reviews.

This vibrant and well-established eatery has been delighting customers for over 6 years and is now available due to the owners' decision to semi-retire and ease family commitments.

Situated in a prime spot with great visibility, this restaurant benefits from a steady stream of footfall and is easily accessible by public transport. It’s the perfect destination for everything from cosy date nights to celebratory gatherings.

This Italian restaurant has been a local favourite for six successful years, serving up delicious homemade pasta and pizza and rich desserts in a warm, contemporary setting. The owners have built a strong reputation with a loyal customer base and glowing online reviews. With consistent weekly bookings and strong turnover, it’s a turnkey business with serious appeal.

There is genuine scope to grow—options include extending hours, launching delivery services, or expanding the private hire offering. Social media and digital marketing opportunities could also be tapped to further increase footfall.

The leasehold premises are modern, stylish, and welcoming. Featuring a well-appointed dining area, professional kitchen, and attractive frontage, it’s fully equipped to continue trading immediately.

Growth Opportunities:


1. Increase Digital Marketing Activity - Strengthening social media presence and investing in local SEO or paid ads could significantly raise awareness and drive more bookings
2. Host Events & Private Hire - Offering the space for birthdays, anniversaries, and corporate events would create an additional income stream.
3. Extend Opening Hours - Reopening Monday and expanding lunch hours midweek could increase revenue by caputiring the workday and early dining crowd.
4. Offer Cooking Classes or Experiences - Hosting Italian cooking workshops could be profitable and a unique way to market the restaurant.
