Following months of planning, ground has been broken on the rebuild of the new Guidi’s at its site on Deedes Street.

Founded in 1983, Italian eatery Guidi's was more than just a place to eat, it was a place where “friends and families created memories, was home to many celebrations and warmly welcomed locals and visitors”.

The fire in 2021 was a “devastating moment” for the family business, however the “overwhelming support” of its loyal customers, neighbours and family friends has driven the “desire to return to the heart of the local community”.
