A MICHELIN recognised Italian restaurant in Chester's Bridge Street has appointed a new chef who has worked in Michelin-starred kitchens across Italy.

Da Noi, which is known for its authentic Italian food, will be launching its new autumn menu with the help of chef, Andrea Egiziano.

Andrea started his culinary journey in 'La Leggenda Dei Frati' in Florence before moving to the UK in 2018 where his experience culminated in taking on the role of Chef de Partie for Lisa Allen’s Michelin star restaurant, 'Northcote'.

Andrea spent four years in the UK before making the decision in 2021 to return to Italy to continue his culinary journey, joining the team at the Michelin-starred, 'Kitchen', located on Lake Como. At the age of 24, Andrea has already had an exceptional career working in some of the most lauded kitchens around and is now ready to embark on a new journey at Da Noi.

Since starting at Da Noi, Andrea has been working alongside Chef Valentina finalising the new autumn menu ahead of its launch on Thursday 13th October. As he progresses into his role, Andrea will oversee operations in the kitchen at Da Noi, bringing fresh ideas and unique skills to the menu, fulfilling Da Noi’s vision of offering authentic yet contemporary Italian dishes that go beyond anything currently available in the North West and possibly across the UK.

Co-founder, Fabrizio Gobbato, comments: "We are beyond thrilled to welcome Chef Andrea to our team here at Da Noi. His breadth of experience, talent and passion for true Italian cuisine is priceless. With Chef Valentina’s knowledge, passion and skill we really are creating something special here in Chester and cannot wait for people to try this new menu.

"We are thoroughly enjoying having him on board and can’t wait to see what he brings to the future of Da Noi."

Da Noi’s autumn menu is set to launch on Thursday 13th October which will see a selection of brand-new dishes inspired by co-founders Fabrizio and Valentina’s surroundings and heritage. Visit https://www.danoichester.co.uk/ to book a table.
