Cece's Italian restaurant is the latest stealth-launch from the Public House group

The Public House Group are known for launching new openings with little fanfare, and that's the case once again with their latest, CeCe's.

Unlike their recent openings, this isn't a pub, although they are taking over a space that was once a pub, so it's not a massive departure. It's being billed as an Italian with a "hint of Hollywood". So it sounds like it's going for the glam kind of Italian restaurant that Martin Kuczmarski has been so successful with at The Dover and Martino's. The full menu is yet to be revealed, but dishes we know about so far include aubergine parmigiana, fonduta agnolotti and chicken vignole.

The group has form with Italian food in Canteen, although this is clearly a different beastfrom that more casual restaurant. But we're sure there will be plenty of Notting Hill celebs willing to try their wares. After all, it's the space where Casa Cruz was and there are plenty of calebs who know how to find that address. You can expect the place to look completely different from its previous incarnation, though as they're saying it will feel "current and exciting, whilst retaining the allure of traditional hospitality."
