An Italian restaurant has confirmed it will be opening in under a week on Swindon’s Victoria Road.

The owner of Grano Lab has confirmed it will be opening at the old Gaetano site on Tuesday, June 4.

It is replacing Gaetano at 131 Victoria Road after the owner of the popular restaurant left after nearly 15 years at the site.
