Prezzo is closing 22 of its restaurants including one in Hertfordshire. Credit: PA Prezzo has confirmed which of its 22 restaurants have closed permanently - and its branch in Rickmansworth is not among them. The Italian restaurant chain announced earlier this month it would be axing 22 branches and cutting 216 jobs after being rescued out of administration. Cain International, which only bought the chain in December, bought it back from administrators in a pre-pack deal to secure its future. The owner said the action protects the vast majority of Prezzo’s 2,900 team members’ jobs. But the new owners have been unable to save all Prezzo's restaurants, with one branch in Hertfordshire - in Welwyn Garden City - closing for good.
