Restaurant review: Rosa Madre, Temple Bar, Dublin 2

Rosa Madre is a warm and welcoming Italian restaurant with excellent fish specials and traditional Italian hospitality, says Leslie Williams.

DUBLINERS and Dublin restaurants seem to be finally embracing the joys of the seas that surround our small island — there are now more than a dozen restaurants in the city where fish is not just an afterthought but a feature.

Of course chefs like Ross Lewis in Chapter One, Graham Neville in Forty One, and similar have always had excellent fish dishes but we don’t know ourselves now that Super Miss Sue and Fish Shop and others have shown what can be done in the mid-range.
