It's described as 'a real asset to Nottingham'
A stunning redevelopment in Nottingham has put the city on the map alongside design projects in London, Australia, Canada, the USA and Swizterland. A first floor storage room above a boutique and caves underneath in the heart of the city were transformed into Bar Gigi and Cantine Dell'Angelo at the Flying Horse Walk.
Around 660 tonnes of rubble were removed by hand, unearthing a spectacular 120m warren of cellars and caves. They were transformed into a unique venue for wines not available anywhere else in the UK, prosecco and champagne. The hideaway boasts a table for six in a Barolo room with exclusive L'Astemia Pentita wines and an alcove with a table for two - ideal for a romantic proposal.
The gamble paid off. The restaurant and Castine Dell'Angelo are among 127 projects around the world judged by a Civic Trust Awards' panel. The winners will be revealed on January 9. "If I win it it's going to be an absolutely amazing achievement. Not only for me, but for Nottingham as well." "It was about flexibility for them as a business. The high street has got to diversify. People come to the city for leisure and entertainment now probably more than they do to shop and I think they realised that. The discovery of the caves and what he has done down there is just unbelievable really.
