I have been asked many times if I knew why Basilico had opened a second restaurant in Clarinbridge, just a couple of miles away from its main operation in Oranmore. It did seem a strange move in these uncertain times, so I decided to ask the owners what lay behind this venture.

However this in no way will affect Oranmore where they will continue to serve the same food at the same prices in the bar and restaurant areas.
