A restaurant situated inside a top security prison in Italy opened just two months ago, and is already so popular that officials are considering opening other branches.
Serenaded by Bruno, a pianist doing life for murder, the clientele eat inside a deconsecrated chapel set behind the 60ft high walls, watch towers, searchlights and security cameras of the daunting 500-year-old Fortezza Medicea, at Volterra near Pisa.
Under the watchful eye of armed prison warders, a 20-strong team of chefs, kitchen hands and waiters prepares 120 covers for diners who have all undergone strict security checks. Tables are booked up weeks in advance.

Nice, they're turning prisons into zoos now.

Reminds me of the Delancey Street restaurant, which is staffed by ex-convicts.
