Restaurant loved by Queen’s son announces closure and says ‘it’s been an honour’

A popular Italian restaurant in Birmingham loved by the Queen’s son has announced they will close for good next month after seven years. Laghi’s Deli, on Islington Row Middleway, will close after Saturday, August 10.

They shared a heartbreaking statement on social media on Saturday night (July 14) and called it ‘an honour to be part of the Brummie independent scene amongst some of the greats’.




It was only earlier this year that Laghi’s had impressed food writer Tom Parker Bowles, son of Queen Camilla, who gave it a rave review in the Mail on Sunday You Magazine.

Tom said the pasta at Laghi’s was “seriously, as good as you’ll find at the likes of The River Cafe, Riva, Luca and Locanda Locatelli”, three highly-rated London restaurants. He added the Birmingham options are ‘a fraction of the price’ of those establishments.

“Yet again, Birmingham impresses,” he wrote of Laghi’s. “Yet another true Brummie beauty.”
