I went to Milanos last week for a some food, wine and a catch up with my friends Louise and Blathnaid. The choice of restaurant was heavily influenced by the new gluten free offerings at Milanos. My friends usually go there when I’m not around so as not to rub their gluten eating ways in my face so it was a treat to be able to go with them for once.

The menu is very explanatory with regard to the gluten free options and they are clearly making an effort to promote the new gluten free options. The waitress was also very knowledgeable and helpful.

If I had wanted, there was a salad or risotto for starter but I went straight for a pizza, the Pollo ad Astra, which was delicious. The base is very good quality, not too doughy or too crisp, just right.  It had been so long since I was in Milanos that I had forgotten what good value the menu is. We had three mains, a lovely bottle of pinot grigio, 2 coffees and a dessert for around €75. There is no extra cost for the gluten free base on the pizza.

Given the various locations throughout Dublin and the country, I can guarantee you that I’ll be visting Milanos very regularly from now on.
