This is the very grand new Italian Gran Cafe that is aiming to bring "a bit of Mayfair to Wilmslow". The Cibo Gran Cafe has just opened on Grove Street in the Cheshire town, with lavish £1.5m interiors and an extensive brunch and lunch menu.
Bosses of the celebhaunt Italian restaurant group created the new cafe after snapping up the shops on the opposite side of the existing Cibo restaurant already in Wilmslow. They ripped through the three former shop units on Grove Street to create a huge high-ceiling restaurant space in its place.

The cafe has already been packed with diners since launching at the weekend, and Cibo CEO Marco Valboni said he and his team have been overwhelmed by the response so far.
He has also thanked property mogul Peter Jones, of Jones Homes and Emerson Group, who agreed to sell one of the three shops on the street to Cibo to make their "grand vision" for the cafe be realised.
Cibo initially had just the Holland and Barrett and TUI stores for the development. But thy needed the third, a former EE shop next to the Grove Arcade, to smash out
