Closing restaurant now selling assets

A restaurant in Douglas is giving its fans a chance to own a piece of it after it announced its closure.

In December, Portofino on Quay West in Douglas said it would cease trading and close down for good.

Owner Mario Ciapelli says the business is now selling off its assets, including equipment, fixtures and fittings.

A viewing day is due to be held in the near future, but the restaurant says anybody interested in items such as cooking appliances, furniture, tableware or artwork can get in touch via its Facebook page.
