Mario Zico, manager of Giovanni’s, said: “We are Knutsford’s only truly independent Italian restaurant and we are delighted to join the Taste Knutsford family.
“We are looking forward to offering tour guests a flavour of Italy as one of the lunch stops.
“Of course, this will be accompanied with a side order of Italian charm and service.”
