Gino says: “I want the 360 Sky Bar to not only provide great Italian food to hotel guests but to be a destination for drink lovers to hang out from morning until night in cool surroundings.”
When a new restaurant opens that is testament to a belief in the future post pandemic. His & Hers has been privileged to attend some awesome launch events, that include My Restaurant where the food was truly memorable because of the classic Italian dishes and fine attention to detail. We have witnessed restauranteurs and their staff put heart and soul into being the best they can possibly be. Can only admire the commitment, tenacity and sheer talent involved.
Gino D’Acampo has announced that he is to open a new restaurant in the heart of Alderley Edge – Luciano. Named after his first born, Luciano will take over Piccolino on London Road, bringing upmarket Italian dining to the heart of Cheshire.
It will be Gino’s second restaurant under the name of his 19-year-old son, joining his recent opening at the five-star ME London hotel, in the heart of the West End.
The restaurant will formally launch with an exclusive evening with the leading Italian chef on January 24th, when guests will be invited to experience the new menu and learn more of Gino’s plans on-screen and off. Those looking to dine in advance can do so from January 4th when the restaurant will be open.
Gino D’Acampo said: “I have many friends in Alderley Edge and the surrounding areas, it’s an amazing place and one in which I’m super excited to open. The location on London Road couldn’t be any better, it’s a fantastic property. I’m looking forward to spending time here with the amazing team, and our incredible, loyal guests.”
Managing Director of Luciano by Gino D’Acampo, Mat Cunningham, added: “We’re looking forward to bringing Luciano to Alderley Edge. Gino’s influence in the kitchen is significant, not just in terms of the sourcing of ingredients and creation of dishes, but the impact he has on chefs who love to work with him and aspire to his talent and attention to detail. He’s incredibly hands-on.”
Major investment in the iconic London Road property will enable Luciano to expand into the former premises of neighbouring Chinese restaurant Yu to create one of the best event and private dining spaces in Cheshire. It is anticipated to launch in the Spring with booking enquiries open from January 4th 2022.
All existing bookings at the London Road restaurant will be honoured with guests contacted with news of the takeover. The new opening sees all positions protected and 15 new jobs created.
