Welcome to Chicca’s Restaurant, where the rich traditions of Italian cuisine meet the vibrant energy of contemporary dining. My name is Francesca Rimonti, affectionately known as Chicca. As a woman in my 40s with a heritage that bridges the charm of Italy and the elegance of England, I’ve dedicated my life to bringing the authentic flavors of Naples to your table.

This biography will take you through my journey, from my early days in my Italian grandma’s kitchen to the establishment of Chicca’s Restaurant, a haven for pasta lovers and food enthusiasts alike.

From Naples to England: A Culinary Heritage

Early Life and Inspiration

Born in the UK but brought up in Italy, my culinary adventure began at a young age. My Italian grandmother, a native of Naples, was the heart and soul of our family kitchen. It was at her kitchen table that I learned the art of making fresh pasta, a skill that would become the cornerstone of my career. The kitchen was a place of warmth, laughter, and delicious aromas, where traditional recipes were passed down through generations.

Embracing the Culinary Trade

With 21 years of experience in the catering trade, I have honed my skills and developed a deep understanding of Italian cuisine. My journey in the catering industry has been marked by a passion for quality ingredients, meticulous preparation, and a commitment to creating memorable dining experiences. From intimate family gatherings to large-scale events, I have shared my love for Italian food with countless people.

Chicca’s Restaurant: A Dream Realized

Chicca’s Restaurant is the culmination of my lifelong dream to create a space where people can enjoy authentic Italian dishes in a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. The restaurant reflects my vision of a modern dining experience that stays true to the traditions of Italian cuisine. Located in a spacious and airy setting, Chicca’s Restaurant features a trendy mix of leather wall sofa seats and chairs, providing ample space for diners to enjoy their meals comfortably.

At Chicca’s Restaurant, we believe that great food starts with the freshest ingredients. Our menu is a celebration of Italian culinary heritage, focusing on fresh pasta made daily, just like my grandmother used to make. Each dish is carefully crafted, using time-honored techniques and the finest ingredients to ensure that every bite is a taste of Italy.
