The best thing about this charming Italian bistro, tucked inside a quiet lane in Ballygunge Place, is that you can watch while your pizza is rolled, loaded with toppings and slid into the wood-fired oven. The 30-cover eatery is modelled on a medieval tavern with rustic and exposed brick walls, dark wooden furniture and quirky light fixtures. The pizza oven enjoys a glory spot behind a glass wall on one end of the dining area (the rest of the food comes from the closed kitchen behind). The menu features an assortment of salads, antipasti, mains (try the pollo di mascarpone – a grilled chicken roulade served with a mascarpone sauce, grilled veggies and mash) and desserts, but the thin-crust wood-fire pizzas are the mainstay here. However, while the pizzas come generously loaded, the crust lacks character – a big let-down if you believe that ‘it’s all about the crust’.
