When it comes to the food of kings, we reckon that pizza, and Christmas dinner with all the trimmings are right up there among the very best. 

And now, praise the taste gods, Milanos has decided to combine both to create what ultimately amounts to a Christmas roast on a pizza.

Dubbed the fancy-pants Porchetta Natale Romana, it boasts pulled hog roast along with a soft herb stuffing, pancetta, mozzarella, rosemary, oregano and pine kernels, and fresh parsley and costs €16.90.

If that's not your cup of tea, the Pannetone Cheesecake (€6.85) – chocolate chip and orange marmalade panettone pieces in a creamy vanilla cheesecake, topped on a thick and buttery biscuit base – might be.

Otherwise, Snowball Dough Balls (€4.45) are a safe bet: Milano’s famous Dough Balls sprinkled with icing sugar and cinnamon and served with a vanilla cream dip.

Earlier this year London gained itself a restaurant with a difference when The Bunyadi stripped open its doors in Elephant and Castle.

Offering diners the opportunity to eat completely naked, the adventurous pop-up quickly became a resounding success and so its owners have decided to spread the nude experience.

According to the Evening Standard, the venue’s founder, Seb Lyall, is currently hunting for a new site in the British capital to allow more foodies the unique opportunity to dine naked by candlelight.

As with the pilot project, diners will be given a locker and robe before having their phones confiscated.

They will then be seated at a discreet table, where they can choose to protect their dignity or drop the robe altogether.

Jean Bernard Fernandez Versini has certainly had a hectic few months.

Not only did he have a very public split with Cheryl, but he also took a fancy to Irish MIC star Nicola Hughes.

And it seems he has a little crush on the Irish as he wants to open his next restaurant in Dublin.

An insider close to the star said: “JB has been working on his restaurant project in London which is going to be huge, the next logical move is Ireland.

“JB has always wanted to see Ireland, he’s always thought the country is so beautiful and everyone he has met from Ireland has been lovely and down to earth – that’s really important to him.

“He’s also a huge, huge fan of Conor McGregor so he’s really focused on Ireland at the moment,” the source said.

When it comes to first dates, the itinerary can be pretty…boring.

It’s usually some combination of dinner, a film and drinks which sounds nice in theory but can be a very different story when you’re eating ribs in front of your date.

Good venues are often wasted on couples who are too uncomfortable to appreciate them

So why not cancel your date and head for a romantic dinner with your best friend instead and say goodbye to all the awkwardness that goes along with it.

Goodbye to stressing about what to wear.

Goodbye to trying to arrive at the perfect time.

Goodbye to having a call from your friends pre-planned as your escape route.

Goodbye to ordering the right thing.

Goodbye to awkward small talk.

Goodbye to acting like you don’t mind they stole a chip.

Goodbye to ordering something cheaper so that he doesn’t think we’re taking advantage.

Goodbye to uncomfortably dancing after a few drinks.

Goodbye to the terrible goodbyes at the end of the night.

We decided to do just that recently with amazing success.

Not only did we enjoy not having to get glammed up after work, we enjoyed not being judged for arriving ten minutes late and getting to order as much of whatever we wanted on the menu.

With the beautiful Marcels restaurant as the backdrop to our date, we enjoyed some amazing food and wine all in beautiful surroundings.

Finishing our lunch by romantically sharing a beautiful pavlova, it went down as one of our best dates yet.

There's only one thing better than brunch and that's bottomless brunch so you'll be pretty happy to hear that a new bottomless brunch is coming to Dublin which not only offers an open tab for wine and beer but also for gin.

Spanish Tapas bar No.5 Vinoteca on Merrion Court has announced that between 12.30pm and 5pm on Saturday July 2 diners can get four tapas and all the wine, beer, gin and gin-based cocktails they like for €50.

For an extra tenner restaurant-goers can expand their beverage options to include a wider cocktail menu and for €70 they can get unlimited champagne.

The catch?  The Bottomless Brunch sitting only last two hours so it's value depends on how many times you can make it to the bar in that timeframe.

The popular spot already boasts an extensive Spanish wine cellar, candlelit courtyard and a piano bar – all that coupled with Bottomless Brunch sounds like it could be worth checking out.

You can now add restauranteur to Drake's CV. 

Early this week, the 28-year-old rapper had a low-key celebration for the opening of his new restaurant, Fring. 

He opened the restaurant in his hometown of Toronto and invited his BFF Serena Williams, Jada Pinkett Smith and Jaden Smith. 

The menu for his restaurant is still under wraps, but the star did partner up with chef Susur Lee, of the restaurant Lee, Bent and Luckee. 

He also hired past contestants of US TV shows Iron Chef and Top Chef Masters to join the venture, so the food must be good! 

Drake has been a friend of Susur's sons Kai and Levi Bent-Lee for a while, which kind of explains the partnership, and according to Fashion Magazine, the menu will feature Asian hints as per Susur's signature, mixed with high-end snacks.

We’re going to seriously be rethinking any late night burger cravings after this news.

One of the most popular fast food restaurants in Limerick city centre was forced to close their doors last month after they breached food safety regulations.

A closure notice was served on the Rockin’ Joe’s diner on O’Connell Street on July 21 according to the Food Safety Authority of Ireland. Fortunately for anyone in desperate need of a double chocolate milkshake the closure was lifted the following day.

Specific details on the closure notice were not released but we think the closure in itself was enough for people to lay off the chilli cheese fries for one weekend.

Considering closure orders are served to restaurants when there is likely to be “grave an immediate danger to public health,” we feel that these notices are not something to take lightly.

CEO of the FSAI has expressed her disappointment in how some owners are not prepared to take all the necessary steps involved in delivering the best and safest services to their customers.

“Unfortunately we continue to encounter cases where consumers’ health is put at risk through a failure to comply with food safety and hygiene requirements,” she noted.

She also pointed out that these breaches in quality are “completely avoidable when food businesses have proper food safety management systems in place.”

Rockin’ Joes was only one of several restaurants around the country that was hit with forced closures and notices from FSAI.

Hell hath no fury like a Kardashian (or Jenner!) sister scorned!

Kendall Jenner was forced to defend herself recently after she was accused of throwing money in a waitress’ face.

The story came about when waitress, Blaine Morris, accused the young KUWTK star and fellow model, Hailey Baldwin, of leaving a restaurant without paying their bill. When Blaine followed Kendall for the bill, she says the model threw money in her face.

Needless to say, Kendall is completely incensed by the story, and has taken to her Twitter account to voice her opinion, saying: “these rumours r absolutely ridiculous! I would never throw money in anyone’s face or act that disrespectfully. I was raised better than that.”

However, the star didn’t stop there and went on to write: “said it once and I’ll say it again, don’t believe everything you read.”

TMZ have now reported that Kendall is considering suing the model over the exaggerated story.

We know it may sound crazy, but we believe Kendall – she’s always seemed so genuine and so not the type of person to behave like that.

Everybody’s favourite celebrity chef revealed his heartache at losing two Michelin stars from his New York restaurant. The restaurant was sold by the chef in 2009 but still holds his name to it.

Gordon Ramsey spoke to Swedish/Norwegian talk show Skavlan about his feeling towards the whole affair, saying: “I started crying when I lost my stars. It’s a very emotional thing for any chef. It’s like losing a girlfriend. You want her back.”

To add insult to injury, Gordon’s restaurant is the only restaurant in the history of the Michelin guide to lose two stars at once.

You might not like the man, but you have to admire his honesty.
