Chef Valentina never worked in hospitality in Italy. It’s only when she moved to the UK following Fabrizio’s job that her passion started to come alive again.
She started by selling her beautiful homemade cakes by the slice at the Nantwich market, where she became really popular, followed by appearances at local food festivals demonstrations, and after that she decided to step in a few local restaurants kitchens as a sous Chef, to get herself trained up.
She realised then that she was urging to move on and create her own project, express her own ability and creativity to the full. This is that magnificent spark that ignited Da Noi.
Under Chef Valentina’s guidance, Da Noi has been awarded a Michelin Plate both for 2020 and for 2021 and has won the Good Food Award for 2020 and 2021, amongst the others.
