Ivan Pastore was born in Peterborough from Italian born parents who moved over in the 1960’s; from an early age he always had a passion for Italian cooking and making their own family wine. Being fortunate enough to travel all over Italy from a very young age has made him appreciate both the best of what Italy and England have to offer. Ivan's previous work in other Italian restaurants led him to make his dream a reality by opening Amici Restaurant with Giuseppe, his brother-in-law. Ivan ensures all customers new and existing receive excellent food with exceptional service. |
