Gino D’Acampo to open new Manchester restaurant and bar
Further investment in the generous 80-seated alfresco drinking and dining area, will follow in phase two
Gino D’Acampo has announced he is to open a new restaurant and bar at the INNSiDE by Melia Manchester hotel in February.
This opening will follow an extensive £800k refurbishment of the First Street venue, which the chef’s team currently operates under the First Street Bar and Kitchen brand.
Designed by acclaimed international restaurant designer Bernard Carroll, the design will feature Gino’s signature feature wallpaper, marble topped tables, brass finishes, and ambient lighting introduced throughout the 200-seated open-plan restaurant and bar lounge.
The venue will also feature a new designated bar area at the rear of the restaurant, complete with a re-imagined island cocktail bar and its own dedicated entrance and reception area.
Further investment in the generous 80-seated alfresco drinking and dining area, will follow in phase two.
D’Acampo said: “I couldn’t be more pleased to announce plans for Gino D’Acampo at INNSiDE Manchester. I have a long relationship with the city having opened one of my first restaurants here almost ten years ago and I’m delighted to return to the heart of Manchester, as planned. It has always been our intention to open a Gino here, at the beautiful INNSiDE Manchester hotel, and I’m looking forward to launching this early next year.
“The First Street area combines all that I love about Manchester – ease of reach to cool music venues, art, and culture. As an Italian with a love for alfresco dining, I’m looking forward to enjoying a real Neapolitan pizza and negroni (or two) on the terrace this summer. I hope to see you there.”
