Bianco43, the Italian restaurant concept led by Fabrizio Margarita and Massimo Parodi, has secured its fifth site in the south east.

The company, which also operates Italian restaurant Osteria del Mercato in the City, has secured the former ASK site in Orpington’s High Street for an opening before the end of the year.

It recently opened its fourth site under the pizza concept in Croydon’s Restaurant Quarter.

The first Bianco43 launched in Greenwich in 2010, with further sites opening in Blackheath and Trafalgar Square.

AG&G acted on the Orpington deal.
