A new pasta eatery is set to open on a town's high street.

Red signs have been spotted in the windows of 39 High Street in Banbury which suggest a new restaurant will be moving into the empty unit. 

The unit was formerly home to Pizza Express, which is now located at The Light complex next to Banbury Canal.

One of the signs at the vacant property reads: "Under construction. Come back soon for a special serving of pasta."

Another sign reads: "Are you ready for high quality fresh pasta?"

It is unknown at this stage what the name of the restaurant will be or when it will open. 

Cherwell District Council has been approached for further information.
