La Piazza to open restaurant ‘very soon’ on Yarm High Street
Richmond restaurant La Piazza is preparing to open its second location in the old Barclays Bank, on Yarm High Street.
Works have been ongoing for several months, with the front of the venue transformed and new windows and doors added, along with a sleek black exterior.
This week, bosses at La Piazza provided an update on the restaurant, telling The Northern Echo that they should be open in the near future.
A brief statement said: “We are down to the last few little things to be completed in the restaurant now, so hopefully if all goes to plan we should be open very soon.”
The Echo understands La Piazza Yarm is currently putting together its menu and preparing to launch on social media, with more updates teased by owners.
As previously reported, plans were green-lit by Stockton Council last year to change the shopfront of the site, resurface the car park, and add a flue for the kitchen.
Another application was then lodged for the design of the new windows and doors.

Boards were erected outside the front of the venue earlier this year as work continued on the unit, which operated as Barclays until the national bank pulled out of Yarm in July 2023.
La Piazza, which is based on Dundas Street in Richmond, is known for serving pizza, pasta, risottos, and other dishes and was taken over by new owners in 2015.
It is regularly praised online for its “amazing” food and “flawless” service.
