Vittoria Restaurant, Frederick Street

Has anyone got any memories or information on this British Restaurant that once stood at 43 Frederick Street in the Jewellery Quarter?

Type of food it served, example menus or menu copies?
When it opened and when it closed (I think it's circa 1971)?
Owners or Publicans Names?
Decorations and style of the interior?

I'd love to hear any stories anyone has
