The new Caruso's: Fior restaurant at Gymea opens this week

Featuring Italian cuisine with predominantly fresh Australian ingredients, the 120-seat venue fills the space left vacant for more than a year after the closure of Caruso's.

Owners Tristan Rosier and Rebecca Fanning, who also have well-known Surry Hills restaurants Arthur and Jane, held a soft opening of Fior for family and friends on Tuesday night.

"We're doing the final touches, some training and some tastings," Mr Rosier said on Tuesday afternoon.

"It's always a push to the end to get everything together, but we have managed to do it.

"I think it looks fantastic - a bit different from when we moved in a couple of months ago."

Mr Rosier said he believed patrons would find "a very comfortable venue, lots of space, really good ambience".

"I think there will be a really fun atmosphere and great value for money as well."

Fior will open seven days a week.

Bookings can be made on the website, and walk-ins are also welcome.
