About Us

Founded in 2018 by Attilio Sergi, 51 Italian was born from a vision to bring the authentic soul of Italian dining to the heart of Liverpool’s business district. With a career dedicated to excellence in hospitality, Attilio established 51 Italian on Old Hall Street to be more than just a restaurant; it is a celebration of the rich culinary traditions of his native Puglia, served with a contemporary Liverpool flair.

The Puglia Connection

At the core of our kitchen is a commitment to the “Cucina Povera” tradition—creating extraordinary flavors from simple, high-quality ingredients. We source our Durum Wheat directly from farmers in Puglia and have it milled into our signature Gold Semolina. This artisan grain is the foundation of our handcrafted pasta, which is prepared fresh from scratch every single day to ensure a nutritional, high-protein meal with a perfect al dente texture.

Our Hospitality Philosophy

At 51 Italian, we believe that nothing is too much trouble. Whether you are joining us for a swift Express Lunch between meetings at Hill Dickinson, or celebrating a milestone on our elegant Mezzanine level, you will experience a level of service that makes you feel like family. We take immense pride in being a welcoming space for everyone, leading the way in the city as a pioneer for Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free dining without ever compromising on taste.

At the Heart of the City

Located just a one-minute walk from Moorfields Station, we are a cornerstone of the local community. We are the preferred destination for:

  • The Business Community: Offering a sophisticated retreat for networking and corporate events.

  • Football Fans: Serving as the ultimate match-day hub for Everton fans heading to the new stadium and Liverpool fans bound for Anfield.

  • Local Foodies: Providing a cozy, authentic atmosphere for romantic dates, family gatherings, and party celebrations.

With on-street parking available right outside and a team dedicated to your every need, we invite you to step into our home on Old Hall Street and discover the true taste of Italy.
