Top Tripadvisor dessert venue in Scarborough applies for change

​The popular and perpetually busy Crema e Cioccolato – Bar Italiano in Scarborough is seeking a new pavement licence from North Yorkshire Council.

​The well-established wine bar and coffee shop would place two tables and four chairs with barrier protection in front of the premises at 43 Newborough in Scarborough’s town centre.

​The applicant, Leonardo Maria D’Alonza, noted: “We have had tables and chairs outside since 2022, so we renewed the previous license.”
