A new Italian restaurant has opened its doors.
Atrium, located on Western Terrace just off Yeovil High Street, launched with a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by Mayor Tony Lock.
He said: "Atrium brings something truly special — a high-quality dining experience that you would normally expect to find in a much larger city.
"I’m delighted to officially open it and wish the team every success."
The event was followed by a busy evening of dining and live music, filling the restaurant to capacity as guests took in the newly designed space.

Atrium occupies the former Tamburino’s site, which closed on New Year’s Eve after nearly 25 years, and represents a new chapter for both the location and the Tamburino Group.
The project is led by the team behind Tamburino’s restaurants in Street and Sherborne, with Sicilian-born restaurateur Domenico Taravella among the founders.
He said: "It was an honour to welcome the Mayor to officially open Atrium.
"To see the restaurant completely full, and to know it sold out weeks in advance, is incredibly rewarding for the whole team.
"We’ve created Atrium to be more than just a restaurant, it’s about experience, energy and bringing people together.
"We’re excited to welcome people from across Somerset and beyond to experience what we believe will be one of the region’s standout dining destinations."
Central to the new venue is a double-height atrium space featuring an open kitchen and central bar, designed to encourage a lively, social atmosphere.
An upper-level balcony overlooks the main restaurant floor, adding to the sense of theatre within the space.
Salvatore, co-owner of the restaurant, said: "Our aim has always been to create something different for Yeovil, a venue that combines food, atmosphere and live entertainment.
"The response on the first night shows there’s real interest, and we’re focused on building on that in the weeks ahead."
The restaurant will continue to offer Italian-led kitchen and front-of-house teams, maintaining the authenticity associated with the Tamburino name while developing Atrium as a new standalone brand.
