Hello gluttons! We've made a fresh date with our jaws at DA MIMMO, a fantastic ristorante pizzeria I've known for quite some time. I've gone there to eat their masterful pizza, delicious pasta with fish, and best in town "cannoli". I've never been disappointed with anything I've ever ordered from DA MIMMO. We can cut our budget a little because of the pizza, but if you prefer, you can also have a whole meal from antipasto to dessert. Total freedom! You can check the pictures below and the menu here: [https://www.damimmo.ie/menu](https://www.damimmo.ie/menus) You should be aware, however, that most of the time there are special daily plates available that may be particularly relevant to your palate. Also, this time I have to bring out a minor issue. Because the venue is small, you must RSVP only if you are reasonably certain that you will be able to attend. To join us, please confirm your spot by paying the **€2 participation fee** here: [revolut.me/gianz64es](https://revolut.me/gianz64es) or doing the rsvp here on meetup at 3 euro. If you pay through Revolut you won't do the rsvp here on meetup (so you won't appear in the attendees here), but don't worry you are in! There are only 6 seats available for now. *Bookings are confirmed ONLY once payment is made via the link above or here on the meetup event page.* Both options works with any credit card, but unfortunately, **cash payments can’t be accepted**. See you soon for another joyful dinner together! Gianni I hope to meet you for a delicious and entertaining lunch at DA MIMMO! Gianni
