Kings Walk - upstairs Italian reastaurant

[meelymunch 2]

Hi, can anyone put me out of my misery please.

In the 1980's I used to go to an Italian restaurant on Kings Walk. It was at the bottom end of Kings Walk and you had to go upstairs to get to it.

Can anyone remember it's name?

 

Cheers, Carole.

Hi Meely munch welcome hope you enjoy being part of our group.

 The Italian restaurant was Lideos called Il Nido ( the nest) he sold it to become Cafe Di Paris which later became Petite Paris as the original Cafe Di Paris objected to the name.

When Lideo decided to sell his restaurant we actually thought of buying it, can't remember why we didn't . When it became Cafe Di Paris we use to go regulary at lunch  time when we were closed. My husband worked with the two brothers. The younger one ( for the life of me I can't recall his name) was in partnership with a French chef. Giulio the elder one was always on reception. Franco one of the waiters also worked with my husband. When I was in Nottingham in January I called in to say hello but none of the original staff was there. Apparently a nephew ( of whom I don't remember) had taken over

. I remember his name was Sergio. ( saves me passing the whole day thinking about it)  Yes the brothers names were Sergio and Giulio.
