Scratchitt Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 Hi I was a student up in the Seffield area and used to frequent Giovanni's wine bar on Eccleshall Road . Is it still going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnjo Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 That's "EccleSALL" Road. I moved onto Ecclesall Road in March 2001 and it wasn't there then. The only wine bar of such i know of is one called Menzels. Where abouts was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratchitt Posted July 12, 2004 Author Share Posted July 12, 2004 It could have been Abbeydale Road. Is the Dam House restauraunt still going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratchitt Posted July 12, 2004 Author Share Posted July 12, 2004 Does anybody know Giovanni Falsone? (senior). I was a friend of his when I lived in Sheffield but have since lost contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eviljock Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 As far as I know, the Dam House burned to the ground years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratchitt Posted July 12, 2004 Author Share Posted July 12, 2004 Oh dear!! I hope that there was nobody in it at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnjo Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Nobody got harmed when it was torched. It had been an empty fail restaurant for a while before that. It has been re-built, roofed and painted. Don't know if it is open yet or as what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratchitt Posted July 12, 2004 Author Share Posted July 12, 2004 Thanks for the info about the Dam House. The wine bar was called Victoria Wine Bar not Giovanni's. I'm getting a bit old and my memory is beginning to fail!! Have you heard of that one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he of the same family that ran the restaurant that was across (or thereabouts) from the Nursery Tavern ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
