DINERS are eager to try a new restaurant that will be 'opening soon' in Barrow's town centre.

A banner hung in the window of an empty store states that a new business called 'Pazzo Napoletana' will be opening soon.

The store is on Dalton Road.

The banner does not state when it will open.

A Facebook page for the business shows pictures of handmade pizza and pasta.

Readers say that it is ‘excellent news’ for the town - and hope that the business will be well supported.

Local dog said: “Excellent news for Barrow town centre. Let’s hope the trend continues and Barrow becomes the place it deserves to be.”

Tony Angelino said: “Good luck and I hope it gets the support that it needs to thrive.”

Lynne Lawson said: “Good news. At the end of the day the high street will consist of beauty shops, eateries, hairdressers, tattooists, charity shops and not much else. I’m all for new restaurants. At least it’s something.”

Ange O'Halloran said: “People complain about more takeaways and restaurants but there is clearly a call for it or else they wouldn't be opening.”
