AUGUSTO Pizzeria on Northgate Street has enjoyed a successful start to life in Chester since opening five months ago.

Augusto is the second project as part of the Nutmeg group, a husband-and-wife team of chef Valentina Aviotti and Fabrizio Gobbato who own Bridge Street’s Michelin Plate holding restaurant, Da Noi. The pizzeria will be celebrating their success by offering a Sunday family deal in which under 10's will eat for free.

The couple say that they were inspired by their hometown, Turin and the Neapolitan style pizzas found in Italy and embarked on a mission to bring a slice of Turin to Chester.

These simple, fresh and classic recipes have been joined by gourmet options and unique combinations using local produce alongside traditional Italian tomatoes, flour and mozzarella cheese.

Owner, Fabrizio Gobbato, said: "We are overwhelmed with the turn-out we have seen at Augusto already. We are so happy to see the guests enjoying our pizzas and feel extremely grateful that we have been able to bring our concept to life.

"We have a lot more ideas we’d like to bring to Chester and further afield so watch this space!"
