Housed in an old clothes shop next to the Luas stop, this thoroughly modern take on an Italian trattoria has proved an instant hit with D6’s smart set, of which there seems to be an ever-growing number. International borders are crossed by the melt in the mouth Manchego & Spinach Croquettas and fiery Piri Piri Chicken & Burnt Lemon, which both taste of more.

Best Dish: Fettuccine with Partridge – €18
