Please call the restaurant to book on - 01481 721 552 --------------------------------------------------------- 'Only in Guernsey' - The Da Nello recipe book, on sale in the restaurant - £20
Da Nello is a family run business and the present restaurant has evolved over the last twenty eight years into the much appreciated rendevouz of today. The building, dating from 1450, was once the northern most defensive gateway to St Peter Port and many of the original timber beams salvaged from numerous shipwrecks of the time, have been retained and restored along with the fireplace and granite work. There is even a hint of the long departed Romans deep in the foundations.
"If it were in London it would be mobbed daily"
During the 19th Century and up to the 50's the building served as a small hotel, a bakery and for some time as Stainer's Restaurant. Many Guernsey people will also recall it as a green grocery and general store, then finally as Deane's Coffee House up until Nello arrived in 1978. Head chef and now partner, Tim Vidamour, joined a few years later as did restaurant manager Manuel 'Tex' Teixeria. The rest, as they say has become history too! By using only the finest ingredients together with the healthiest choice of herbs and seasoning the restaurant has moved from strength to strength being recommended by many good food experts along the way. All at Da Nello are proud to be considered one of the most frequented and talked about 'Eating Houses' both in the islands and further afield.
"It has a great reputation locally - and it's well deserved"
Da Nello's Restaurant now has a book available which not only includes the history of the Da Nello Restaurant but in-depth step-by-step recipe information accompanied with high quality images. So now you can cook the same delicious dishes you enjoyed at Da Nello's in your own home. If you would like a copy of the book you can pick one up from the front desk of our restaurant.
