Inspired by a trip to Milan, this bar is above Gigi Bottega boutique in Nottingham, marrying the Milanese loves of food and fashion. Italian-inspired small plates in a "casual fine dining" setting.
Harden's survey result
Summary
In the heart of the city, above the Gigi Bottega boutique in the 14th-century Flying Horse Walk building, this modern Italian celebrates its fifth year in 2026. Fans applaud its “easy, relaxed atmosphere”, “good wine list” and “Milan-inspired small plates” – in particular “very good quality, simple and classy pasta dishes”.
Summary
On the first floor at the 14th-century Flying Horse Walk building, complete with beams and stained-glass windows, this offbeat venue was inspired by Milan’s Fashion Week, and imports Italian tapas into a space above Gigi Bottega boutique. It’s entering its third year of operation: too limited feedback for a full review but such as we have on its small plates and low-intervention wines is promising.
For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
