Hospitality jobs are to be created in Wolverhampton when one of the city's oldest Italian restaurants reopens as an upmarket bar and grill.

The old Pepitos site, which was closed in May, is to be taken over by the owners of Don Salvo and will be transformed into Primo, reports the Express and Star.

Primo will have a 250-person capacity and will also feature three bars, an outdoor terrace and VIP booths as part of the £50,000 makeover.

Spokesman Stuart Ojelay told the newspaper: "We felt this was the right time to launch what people will hopefully feel is the most exciting nightlife project in our city for an age."

Staff currently working ad Don Salvo will be employed in the new venue, but the owners confirmed around 20 new local jobs will also be created.

Primo will open on October 31st.

A Mediterranean restaurant also opened recently in the centre of Leeds, which has created 25 new hospitality jobs for the Yorkshire region.
