Aldo Zilli, the celebrity chef and restaurateur, has announced plans to covert his flagship restaurant into a vegetarian only offering. Signor Zilli, the Soho eatery that has been closed for a refurbishment, will reopen in February as Zilli Green. The chef said: “This year marks my 30th anniversary as one of Soho's original restaurateurs. “At the time, I brought a fresh new approach to eating Italian food to London and I want to mark this anniversary with an equally exciting new approach to a fresh and healthy way of life for everyone to enjoy." The operator has three other sites Zilli Fish, Zilli Café and Zilli Bar – but he was forced to close his first site outside of London last year after the Zilli Café at Myhotel in Brighton was hit by the recession.
