“In life if you believe in yourself and work hard, anything is possible.”

My philosophy....

“If you put passion and love into everything you do, it will be appreciated by all those around you.”

Spending my life in the restaurant business, I am so very proud, together with my family and friends to celebrate not only our passion for good food, but also a very special person who was my inspiration - Pio, who unfortunately is no longer with us.

We would like to thank you for coming to visit us and we hope you have a wonderful experience at BIRRAZ restaurant.

Enjoy
