A Warm Welcome to talavera restaurant. We are excited that you have chosen
to join us for your dining experience.

My name is Giancarlo, I work with an amazing team of chefs to present you a

variety of fresh produce for inclusion in our daily dishes.

Our unique offering in talavera presents a menu of authentic Italian and

International dishes to cater for many palates. I travelled to Dublin from my
home in Lombardy 18 years ago. My parents always had a large interest in food
and I used to help my grandma in the kitchen

I have a strong passion for food and enjoy the rustic, homemade dishes in a home
away from home environment. Our menu choice includes a rotating Table
D’Hote and an A la Carte choice.

Our service team are available to assist with any enquiries and allergen requests.

Yours Sincerely

Giancarlo Anselmi
Talavera Head Chef
