My last stop after returning to London was lunch at Chester. The city is one of the best preserve walled cities in the UK. The city has medieval buildings but also some classic black and white revivals and Victorians. According to Chester’s website the city is famous for spectacular scenery, cultural and industrial heritage, and historic houses.

Black and white revival
The landmarks and things to do are walking on the city walls, the Eastgate Clock, extensive towers along the city wall, the town hall, Chester’s Cathedral, Chester Zoo, and a walk within the city contemplating the medieval architecture and the Victorian revival.

During the visit I stopped at Olio & Farina. The place a Italian restaurant and bottega (shop), excellent supply of Italian products including an amazing pesto sauce. Funded in Genoa and with presence in the UK, Ireland, and France.

We had a cheese and cured meats table and as main I went for pasta with Pesto Sauce, the entree was good but the pasta was superb, best pesto I have had in the UK, I went immediately to the bottega to buy two jars of the sauce. Excellent place, good food, don’t hesitate to go if you’re around.

Pasta reminds me the Seinfeld episode “The Understudy” where Kramer is taking care of Bette Midler.
Kramer: Hi, here. I made this for you.
Bette: What is it?
Kramer: It's macaroni Midler.
Bette: Macaroni Midler?
Kramer: Yeah, see how you're singing?
Bette: yeah, ha ha. Well you made a long journey from Milan to Minsk.
