Italian coffee shop brand, Caffè Napoli has secured its first international site – in central London, MCA understands.

Parent company Exytus currently operates seven sites in Milan with plans for a further 20 to open in 2017.

The Goodge Street site is understood to be the first in a series of planned openings in the UK for the brand, which is targeting small sites for traditional Italian style café bars.

The brand – founded by brothers Mauro and Fabio Compagnoni – opened its first site in April 2015.
