Moving..

So, finally last week we have released the news everyone (including us!) has been waiting for: we will move Da Noi to a larger Chester City Centre venue, to accommodate the creation of a professional kitchen for Chef Valentina Aviotti and her team, and a more complete space for our guests.

Yeah, we have been working in the background for over a year now to find the right place. Been a real challenge with the pandemic in the middle, having to make sure our head could always stick out of water. But we deemed this as a primary target for us for the restart and we are glad we’re on our way now.

The timescale, you ask: our target is Spring 2022, but like everything, we cannot promise you anything certain.

What is for sure is that we will keep working hard with our collaborators to make it happen, whilst we keep our activity at our current premises on Bridge Street running as usual, and you keep filling the “Magic Box” venue up week in and week out!

We will certainly need your constant support to make sure that we’re ready to make the switch smoothly and in the shortest time when it will be time to next year.

Keep your eyes peeled for more info on this as the weeks go by. The location is secret but it will be no longer when we put pen on paper!

A presto

Exciting times.

I know, I know.

I have not been writing any news for a month. Is it to build up expectations? No.

Very simple. Chef Valentina and I have recently been moving house so we have been spending our last few Mondays lifting boxes and assembling furniture, in amongst the usual churn of catching up with admin and lots of planning for our current and new projects.

So, finally, I can share with you some news and updates, eh?

The Summer Menu at Da Noi is an amazing delight. It’s the best Chef has ever done and for me it’s her consecration one. There literally isn’t a thing I would change on this menu, it’s totally won me over. From the chick peas starter to the “inside-out ravioli”, to the gorgeous lamb dish, to the ricotta&pear tart. Literally everything is in the right place.

It was a pleasure to pair our gorgeous nectars to this wonderful food. It’s the beauty of my job as owner and as wine lover/connoisseur. It is fantastic also to witness your expressions onsite, and thanks for all these comments and for filling up Da Noi day in and day out, the business has never been so good.

Many things are happening in the background.

As a team-Valentina’s crew will add a new member from tomorrow. A new chef with ideas, experience, techniques and a massive drive to take us to a new level. We will welcome him in due course.

I have never kept it as a secret that we have outgrown in our current restaurant location and that we need the appropriate size premises (most of all with the appropriate size kitchen for Chef Valentina). Things seem to be close to be unlocked and we can’t wait to disclose some details about the new venue. All I can say for now is that it will be a blank canvas venue where we will design the restaurant of our dreams!

Finally, we are also nearly ready to announce something else that’s been bubbling in the background for a while now, and that will enable us to take a definitive direction in morphing the creation of our Italian hospitality brand, which is our primary vision.
