CASE STUDY – Solina x Valentine & Cuisinequip
SOLINA BATH – Fresh Pasta, High Volume, No Reservations
Located in the heart of Bath, Solina has quickly established itself as one of the city’s most sought-after dining destinations. Renowned for its authentic, affordable fresh pasta, the restaurant operates a walk-in-only model with no reservations – a reflection of both its popularity and fast-paced service. On busy weekends, the team regularly serves more than 650 guests, with peak days approaching 700 covers.
At the heart of the operation is Head Pasta Maker Gianpiero Mugnano (GP), who produces around 50kg of fresh pasta every day using a Bottene pasta machine. With pasta cooking in as little as 60 seconds, speed, consistency and reliability are essential which is where the Valentine VMC pasta cooker delivers.
Find out why The Walcot Group chose Bottene and Valentine equipment from Valentine & Cuisinequip to support Solina’s efficiency during peak trading periods, the vital role reliable equipment plays in maintaining both the food quality and guest experience, and why Bottene and Valentine remain equipment of choice for future openings in Cardiff.
