Italian flavours such as pulled beef cheek croquette, mussels marinara and aubergine caviar bruschetta will be tantalising the taste buds when new Italian restaurant Ottimo opens. A menu with a mix of classic dishes and modern twists has been created by former MasterChef: The Professionals contestant Keelan Burton for the contemporary restaurant opening later this month in Beeston.
Part of the multi-million-pound Beeston Square redevelopment, in Station Road, the 150-seater venture has created 45 new jobs. Ottimo is the latest venture from the people behind Nottingham's Sans Patrie and Bar Sans Patrie, Ross Considine and Nick Parker. The duo, who run Saint Property Services, first ventured into the hospitality sector in 2020 when Sans Patrie opened in Alfreton Road.
Ross, a self-confessed foodie, said his passion lies in delivering unique dining experiences centred around high-quality and fresh food to offer irresistible flavours and signature dishes unlike anything customers have tasted before. He said: "Ottimo derives from the word optimum – an adjective which translates as the ‘best possible’. This is what eating out should provide; the best possible ingredients and tasting experience you can get.
