Pesto Italian Restaurants Manchester veteran Nigel talks to us about his time at the restaurant and his appreciation for the work of David Jason and Victoria Wood!
How long have you been part of the Pesto Italian Restaurants Deansgate team?
I have been working for Pesto for 4 and a half years now. I worked at our Trafford centre branch for four years before moving across to a new challenge at our Deansgate branch just before Christmas last year.
What is the best thing about working for Pesto?
Pesto is like a large family. You are able to contribute towards and get involved in the development of the business. It is also great job satisfaction to be able to meet new and regular customers every day, welcoming them into the pesto experience and family.
What is your favourite Pesto dish and drink?
White wine is a guilty pleasure for me. I would thoroughly recommend our Soave DOC. My favourite dishes have a habit of changing as I do like everything on the menu! If I had to choose it would be the Peperoni Ripieni and the salsiccia peperonata. I have a sweet tooth too and can’t say no to a dessert, our mascarpone cheesecakes tempts me every time!
What's the funniest thing to have happened to you in the restaurant?
There are too many to say. Every day you get to speak to new and familiar faces who have so many stories to tell and make you laugh, unfortunately some I don’t think I could repeat!
Which three celebrities (dead and alive) would you invite to dinner at Pesto?

There are so many people to choose from the three I would choose are David Jason – a great British actor, who could forget Only Fools and Horses! Adele as she is a very talented singer and down to earth and Lee Evans as he is a great comedian and would fill our evening full of laughter!
What inspired you to become a manager?
I started out as a waiter and have worked my way up to my current position of Deputy Manager. I love the fact that no two days are the same and I get to meet people from all walks of life. I relish the challenge to ensuring every customer we meet receives great customer service every time. I have been lucky to have learned a lot from some inspiring managers on my way up the ladder. I am still learning something new every day and that challenges me to strive even higher to deliver the outstanding service we deliver every day. There is no other job I would rather do!
After a meal at Pesto, what's the best thing to do in Manchester?
There are many amazing bars and clubs and music venues that attract an array of stars, celebrities and of course nothing beats a night out than with friends and the great warm and friendly people of Manchester.
What was the last show you went to and how was it?

I recently saw the day we sang by Victoria wood. This was Victoria Wood at her best; she is a great British comedian who we don’t get to see enough of. They play was moving and worth the standing ovation at the end. I hope she is back again soon with another play or touring as she's very funny in the way she delivers comedy - she’s unique!
What does the next year at Pesto hold for you?
To continue to welcome new customers who will become friends and to making our next year just as busy and as exciting as last year!
We reckon after all the goings on at Pesto Italian Restaurants Manchester and Liverpool over the last couple of months (free Blondie tickets from Debbie Harry and a night on the tiles with Heather Morris) there'll be no shortage of diners to keep the Pesto team busy and excited!
