A restaurant has opened in York offering a range of Italian, Mediterranean and Indian cuisine.
La Terraggina is at 64 Blossom Street, which until recently was home to Lo Spuntino and had operated there for 19 years.
Restaurant owner Monir Sadia is originally from Sri Lanka and has lived in the UK since 2005.
Monir worked in an Indian Restaurant in London at first but the following year came to York, to help at his uncle’s restaurant, the Olive Tree at 10 Tower Street, York.

“My hobby is cooking so I find that business to open,” he said.
“It’s an Italian and Mediterranean restaurant. We do Indian food as well. It’s a good location to run a restaurant.”
