An Italian chef who only came to Liverpool for a "visit" loved the city so much that he stuck around to open his own restaurant.
Award-winning chef Mimmo Tabib hails from Rome, Italy, where his fresh and authentic cooking garnered much attention and praise - and several awards. A decade ago, he ventured to Liverpool for a holiday and "fell in love with the city", determined to make it his new home.
After working in restaurants across Liverpool and making a name for himself in Merseyside, Mimmo has now opened Pitfire in Waterloo. The new venture officially opened on Thursday, August 4 and Mimmo is keen for the people of Merseyside to enjoy an "authentic experience".
