The Menu focuses on the most popular dishes from the restaurant.

A mouth-watering collection of recipes from the menu of one of Ireland's best-loved restaurants, Dunne & Crescenzi.

When Eileen Dunne and Stefano Crescenzi opened their unassuming Italian eatery on Dublin’s South Frederick Street in 1999, they weren’t to know how quickly it would become a well-loved institution.

This can be attributed to the solid foundations of Italian cooking upon which their menu is based: a respect for the varied traditional cooking methods and a great understanding of flavour combinations.

Using a unique combination of specially imported Italian goods with the best local produce, Dunne & Crescenzi's menu is mouthwatering. Recreated as a recipe book for diners to enjoy from home, The Menu focuses on the most popular dishes from the restaurant with a selection of simple and delicious antipasti, bruschettas, soups and salads, and a variety of scrumptious pastas, lasagnes, polentas and risottos as well as a range of succulent meat and fish dishes and of course desserts.

This cookbook, full of life and flavour, is a must for Italian food fans. It's available direct from Mercier Press or in all good bookshops.
