A NEW Italian takeaway could be opened on Reading’s Broad Street if plans are approved.
Coco Di Mama would open in the former Ecco shoe store in Broad Street, and become part of a row of diners that includes Dutch chip specialist Chipstar and Californian-style taco and burrito diner Tortilla.
The newcomer’s menu includes pasta, sandwiches, lasagne, soups and sweet treats.
It is billed as “the UK’s leading quick-service Italian”, according to its owners the Azzuri Group, which also operates the Zizzi and ASK Italian restaurant chains.
A branch of Zizzi is in The Oracle’s Riverside, while the ASK restaurant in St Mary’s Butts has since closed.
Coco Di Mama’s menu has been available in Reading for home diners using delivery services such as Deliveroo. It has been made in the Zizzi branch.
At the time of going to press, no plans for the interior have been submitted, and it is unknown how many people will be able to eat in.
The plans can be viewed by searching for reference 220631 at Reading Borough Council’s planning website, http://planning.reading.gov.uk/fastweb_PL/welcome.asp
