Prezzo ("price" in Italian) is a chain of Italian restaurants in the United Kingdom. The first restaurant opened on New Oxford Street, London in November 2000. There are now over 200 branches all over Great Britain. It is operated as part of the Prezzo restaurant group, which also operates the Chimichanga, Cafe Uno, and Ultimate Burger chains in the UK. It competes with several other similar Italian restaurant chains including Ask, Pizza Express and Strada. ==History== In 2000, the first Prezzo restaurant was opened in Central London by Jonathan Kaye.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.tesco.com/clubcard/deals/product.aspx?R=1804 )〕 There are now around 150 Prezzo restaurants operating within the UK including 13 within London. Prezzo commonly converts old buildings of architectural value from their old purposes into Prezzo restaurants;〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.prezzorestaurants.co.uk/our-story )〕 examples include an old cinema.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bucksfreepress.co.uk/news/localnews/beaconsfield/9347925.Restaurant_plans_for_old_cinema_approved/ )〕 The Chief Executive of Prezzo plc, Jonathan Kaye, is the son of Reginald Kaye and nephew of Philip Kaye. Both these men were in the restaurant industry themselves with the Golden Egg cafe in the 1960s and Italian restaurants Garfunkel's and Deep Pan Pizza, both now sold to Restaurant Group. In 2008 Jonathan hired cousins Adam Kaye and Samuel Kaye (sons of Philip Kaye) to join Prezzo plc's board of directors. Adam and Samuel founded Ask (restaurant) and Zizzi. Prezzo has links with the children's charity Fight for Life; some of the profits raised by selling select dishes from the Prezzo menu are donated to the charity. In 2011 the award-winning celebrity chef Aldo Zilli designed four pizzas which were added to the Prezzo menu under the name of "V.I.Pizzas".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bighospitality.co.uk/People/Aldo-Zilli-creates-pizza-range-for-Prezzo )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Prezzo (restaurant)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
