    Portrait of Giacomo Guido

    i. Biography

    Career Since 2018, Stile Napoletano in Chester has been shaped around Neapolitan-style pizza under Giacomo Guido, with the work kept close to the trade’s basic demands: light dough, lasting flavour, and a method grounded in care. That approach resists the drift toward embellishment. In Guido’s kitchen, the standard is a pizza that does its job without extra handling, carrying warmth, character, and a clear sense of place. “We opened in 2018 with a focus on traditional Neapolitan pizza that is light, flavourful and made with care,” Giacomo Guido says. That line still reads as the restaurant’s operating brief: disciplined simplicity, made legible on the plate.
