Paolo Cillo said:

“We have been operating hospitality venues in Liverpool for over two decades, taking time to carefully understand the city, our guests and the experience that each venue must provide. Taking over Panoramic further adds to our growing group of restaurants and cafes, ensuring that we can offer our guests a variety of dining experiences in the city.”

Donato Cillo added:

“From casual dining through to gourmet menus and now Panoramic’s fine dining experience, our venues all offer something unique for our guests and we’re proud to be able to offer something for everyone and each occasion. Myself and the team are absolutely delighted to have Panoramic as part of our group and would like to thank the previous owner Cathy Frost for this exciting opportunity.”
