The site of a former Mexican restaurant chain in Kingston is set to become an Italian restaurant chain.

Las Iguanas, which was formerly located on High Street, closed its doors last month (October).

The site is currently being transformed into Italian restaurant chain Prezzo.

Las Iguanas shared news of its closure in a Facebook post early last month.

It said: "Fond Farwell Kingston.

"After years of Latin vibes, brunches, and unforgettable nights, Las Iguanas Kingston is closing its doors.

"Thank you for every cocktail, every dance, and every memory — you made this place what it was."

"Every dish on our menu celebrates the art of Italian cooking — crafted with passion, tradition, and the freshest ingredients. From our creamy Spaghetti Carbonara to our classic Margherita pizza and decadent Tiramisu, each bite embodies the rich flavours of Italy.

The new restaurant is set to open on Tuesday, 11 November.
