Like a limp Dublin central lasagne.

Had a lovely meal in La Gustosa there in Kilbarrack tonight cc @Big_Dan_Campbell. They have the wine license now. I had a lovely Pecorino wine.

Is that the one down beside the automated petrol station?

It is indeed. A noble Italian.

I got a pizza delivered from there one night. Wood oven cooked, it was noble

I had a lovely bit of lemon sole with clams there tonight.

Had my tea in La Gustosa there in Kilbarrack tonight. Lovely bit of lasagne.

Sal e Pepe tonight, average food for average enough prices. Expected a bit more. Place could do with a bit of modernising inside

Old Street in malahide last night. Nice modern restaurant with good food and service. They do a Friday supper offer - three courses, tea/coffee and a bottle of wine for €40 a head.

Would recommend

Ate in Mamo in Howth tonight. Got rave reviews in the papers. Well justified. Had clams to start and then venison. Michelin Star material.

Dear?

Fair play. We all love Fagan but sometimes lads are afraid to say how they feel.

Stop fawning.

Had a takeaway lobster roll there from Mamo for the lunch there Rocko. 9.50, lovely bit of grub and a pot of potato salad, 3 euro. Would strongly recommend it and nice to do a bit to keep a good restaurant in business.
