Little Sicily Italian opens at Bishop Auckland retail park

Little Sicily welcomed diners to its restaurant at the new Bishop Auckland Retail Park on Thursday (November 21).

The venue, which is the sister venue to Little Sicily in Sedgefield, is the latest to open at the new development, serving up a host of pizzas, pasta, risottos and other Italian dishes.

It comes on the back of neighbouring restaurant The Bake Bishop opening with its Lebanese offering on Tuesday (November 19).

Signs went up for the venue in early July with customers having a long wait for the doors to finally open.

It has received high praise from customers over its first two days’ service with many taking to social media to compliment the food.

One diner said: “We had a lovely meal and the staff are fantastic”

Another added: “Definitely worth a visit. We'll certainly be going back for more.”
