"With its OTT decor, charming staff and more-than-decent food, this is a party not to be missed, says our food critic I didn't plan to be the first paying customer through the doors of Gloria Osteria's brand new Dublin restaurant, but that's how things worked out. Arriving a few minutes early for a 7pm reservation made weeks previously, we're prevented from entering the building - the former AIB bank on Westmoreland Street - by a red ribbon strung across the entrance."
"A few minutes later, Antonello del Mastro, from Puglia, emerges with a pair of scissors and does the business. In we go and up the steps into the most opulent dining room the city has seen in many a year, transported from this rather grim, no-man's-land stretch straight to the heart of glamorous Milan as channelled by Dolce & Gabbana and Donatella Versace."
Gloria Osteria opened a new Dublin restaurant in the former AIB bank on Westmoreland Street with a ribbon-cutting by Antonello del Mastro from Puglia. The venue features OTT, Milanese-inspired decor channeling Dolce & Gabbana and Donatella Versace, creating an opulent dining room. The arrival process included a brief delay at a red ribbon across the entrance before guests ascended steps into the lavish interior. Staff are described as charming and the food as more-than-decent, producing a lively, glamorous atmosphere that transforms the street into a stylish dining destination.
