Where is the restaurant?
Located in the heart of the popular Victorian seaside town of Southport, within easy reach of the beach and pier and close to local shops and bars. Set out over two floors of an impressive period building and former bank, Prezzo Southport retains many of its original features. Light from the large picture windows compliments the fresh, contemporary decor, and in the evening soft lighting gives the restaurant a relaxed and intimate feel.
