Coronation Street star Gray O’Brien (Tony Gordon) was in town today to sample the fare at hip new Italian Eatery, Il Fico in Naas. Already a favourite with leading lights in Kildare such as Apprentice Star Bill Cullen and wife Jackie Lavin and football legend Niall Quinn and wife Gillian, Il Fico is becoming quite the celebrity haunt for intimate dinner parties or cosy Sunday lunches.
Friday the 13th may be unlucky for some but not for Gray O’Brien as he will be joined for dinner at Il Fico by a bevy of beauties and some of Ireland’s top models and fashionistas such as Pamela Flood, models Ruth O’Neil and Rachel Montague, Elaine Roddy, Tara Sinnott and Helen O’Dwyer. The Xposé cameras will be rolling as devilishly handsome Tony Gordon, who could be one of the Street’s most notorious villains ever, is sure to set temperatures soaring at Il Fico and later on in the piano bar at the Naas Court Nightclub.
Il Fico is the brainchild of partners, hotelier Michael Leonard and Sicilian chef, Matteo Patti, who was a former executive chef of several major eateries in Dublin. The eaterie embraces all that is authentic in Italian fare and boasts some exclusive Sicilian dishes using only the finest ingredients. Assistant chef Nuccio Russotto, also from Sicily, brings a wealth of experience with him having worked in two of the top restaurants in Milan, adding to the authenticity of the restaurant.
