"NOW IS THE PERFECT TIME FOR BUSINESS
In 2008, Metro Éireann spoke with Italian restaurant and business owner Marco Giannantonio about his move from Italy to Ireland, and setting up his Ranelagh-based restaurant Pinocchio. Today, after three years and an economic recession, Giannantonio is more determined than ever to continue delivering the ‘quality and experience’ his brand Flavour of Italy has come to represent for many Irish, Italians and everyone else in the mix, he tells Michaela Dwyer"
Read the article

Paolo Tullio wrote about him:

“After decades of not finding genuine Italian cooking in Dublin I was overjoyed to find Pinocchio.

I asked to meet the chef and found a thoughtful, cultured man called

Luca Mazza.

He told me that when he had worked in Venice's Grand Hotel he'd got a Michelin star, which, given how well we'd eaten, came as no surprise”.
