Il Fico, Co Kildare
In the past couple of months, I've had a few tweets telling me about an Italian restaurant in Naas called Il Fico. Most commented on its great-value set meals, so in my ongoing search for good value I felt a visit to Naas was in order. I set off across the Wicklow Mountains with my old friend and neighbour Mike Judd, who spent a year in Tuscany some time ago in Castellina inChianti. Those 12 months gave him a love and an understanding of Italian cooking. Since we were going to an Italian restaurant, he was the perfect dining companion.
