There's perhaps no better setting in all of Dublin – a top-floor glasshouse restaurant with superb views of the city – in which to enjoy this quirky take on Italian cuisine. Delicious pizzas come with nontraditional toppings (smoked brisket with barbecue mustard?) and the 8oz fillet steak is done to perfection. A good spot for breakfast too.
