Offering authentic Italian flavour – Michelin Guide pizza by Maestro Enzo Corria
The chefs go to great lengths to offer authentic Italian flavours in their freshly made pizzas. Thus, earning the Dublin restaurant the title of best pizza in Ireland for the second year running.
McGlade explained, “We import the best, fresh produce from Italy every week and are very passionate about what we do.
