On the Traditional Irish Storytelling Tour by Hidden Dublin we revelled in mythology, drank up the beautiful countryside and literally imbibed some delicious complimentary beverages from the most stunning tour bus you’ll ever see.

Handel’s Rodelinda has thrown the Storefront City team into quite a conundrum. Usually so agreeable, we both had different ideas about how successful this production was and so have put an unusual question mark after our above rating. The opera seria in three acts by George Frideric Handel was composed in 1725 and with a libretto by Nicola Francesco Haym.

Eileen Dunne and Stefano Crescenzi moved to Dublin from Rome in 1995. Four years later Dunne & Crescenzi came to life, starting with a small shop in Sutton and expanding to two restaurants in Dublin City Centre and another in Sandymount Village. There is much that distinguishes D&C, from their welcoming Italian atmosphere to their selection of more than 130 wines and their equally expansive menu composed of the finest and freshest of ingredients. We had the amazing opportunity to step through D&C’s doors and experience real Italy, and we hope we can convince you to do the same.
