The casual dining group generated revenue of £100.2m over the year, up from £92.6m in 2024, with full-year like-for-like (LFL) growth of 8%, rising to 8.2% in December amid ‘sustained momentum into the final quarter of the year’.
Adjusted EBITDA, meanwhile, rose by more than 300% to reach £2.8m (2024: £0.6m).
It comes after Prezzo rebranded as Prezzo Italian in May last year, a change that kickstarted a rebranding and refurbishment programme of the group’s estate As part of the overhaul, Prezzo’s holding company was renamed Brava Hospitality to support future acquisitions and muti-brand development.
To date 12 restaurants have been refurbished, delivering LFL growth of 20.6% post-reopening at year end. Ten of those refurbished sites also recorded their strongest trading weeks on record.
Additionally, the core group of 84 Prezzo Italian restaurants delivered LFL growth of 7%, with 26 locations achieving record trading weeks, demonstrating broad-based performance beyond refurbished sites.
The group’s dine at home proposition also delivered strong LFL growth of 42.2%.
“These results show what Prezzo Italian is capable of when we focus on the fundamentals - great food, relevant restaurants and disciplined execution,” says James Brown, CEO of Brava Hospitality Group.
“2025 was a transformation year for the business.”
Refurbishment programme on track
Three further Prezzo Italian restaurants - Manchester Media City, Fareham and Eastleigh - have relaunched this week following refurbishment, with Braintree and Milton Keynes currently undergoing refurbishment.
In total, around 40 Prezzo restaurants are expected to undergo refurbishment in 2026.
“The progress we’ve made gives us real confidence as we continue to build a stronger, more competitive restaurant brand for the long term, while also creating a platform for future growth across our portfolio,” Brown adds.
Looking to 2026, Brava is preparing to bring Jamie’s Italian back to the UK high street in partnership with Jamie Oliver.
The first new Jamie’s Italian under the partnership will open in Leicester Square this year with an agreement to open 40 sites under the brand over 10 years, as well as exclusive rights to airports and other concepts launched in the UK by Oliver.
