The team behind The Deysbrook pub in West Derby has taken over the former Justino’s restaurant on Aigburth Road.

James Nolan, owner of The Deysbrook, will reopen the site as Amici this summer.

Creating 25 jobs, James, from Stockbridge Village, will build a team of chefs, waiting staff, bartenders, kitchen porters and management.

James says: “I’m passionate about hospitality; delivering the right service, excellent food and drinks and creating a fantastic atmosphere, and we’ll be working hard behind the scenes until we open to bring that all together.

“We’re very much looking forward to meeting the local community including those who visited the previous restaurant, as well as new faces and getting to know them when we open the doors this summer.

“There isn’t a more perfect time to bring a taste of Italy, as well as a range of summer drinks, to South Liverpool.”

James, 31, invested £260,000 into The Deysbrook, giving it a major refurbishment and making the pub more modern and comfortable for its guests.
