Italian celebrity chef Giovanni Rana is poised to open its first UK eatery at Regent's Place, London - one of two new restaurants to open at the complex after signing lettings with British Land.

Due to open in September, the 5,000sq ft (465sq m) Giovanni Rana format is to incorporate a design inspired by the 1950s and will feature an open copper kitchen. Meanwhile, fresh food restaurant chain Pod has secured a 1,364sq ft (152sq m) property at Regent's Place Plaza and will complement the existing amenities available at the complex.
