​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, said: “We have had tables and chairs outside since 2022, so we renewed the previous license.”

​His business is rated as the top dessert spot in Scarborough on the customer feedback website Tripadvisor and has an overall score of five-out-of-five stars based on more than 220 reviews.

​Commenting on the website, one recent customer said: “A hugely friendly establishment, with a great range of locally-made Italian ice-cream and sorbets. Huge scoops of ice cream and great value.”
