    I have really mixed feelings for this place. My partner and I went there and after over half an hour they asked for our order and for that price my partner ordered a dish and waited for another half hour for it to arrive and finished it in less than 2 minutes! Seriously 😒 add few more on the portion. We left there hungry even tho we paid around 60€!!

    One of the only good things about Kildare village on my last visit. This place is always busy so try and get in early/out of main meal times. We last visited on 26th Dec so it was busy but they had plenty of staff on and the service was great. The food was some of the best Italian that I have tasted, including visits to Italy. I think that the range of options on the menu is quite small and I was initially a little disappointed when I read the menu. I chose the spaghetti bolognaise because of this. It turned out to be the best bolognaise sauce I have ever had. I also tasted the penne/prawns/cherry tomato sauce and it was gorgeous. All in all a very pleasant experience and one star short of the 5 because of the smaller number of menu choices.

    Really busy lunch on saturday. We waited about 5 min to be seated and then waited for while to have our food ordered. The plates, ravioli and spaghetti took about 15 min to be served and was ok despite the ravioli small portion. Waited a while again for the bill. Overall its ok. But not sure if there were more restaurants in the village I would return.

    A busy week day during Feb 2023 mid-term break, lunch service at Dunne & Crescenzi was buzzing. There was a 30 minute wait for the hungry shoppers to be fed here. The Ravioli was special, Mimosa was a treat & the divine chocolate fondant signed off my lunch Great spot indeed

    Bit of a wait but once we got seated it was beautiful from start to finish. Our waitress was fantastic and made time to chat which I think puts a nice touch to our experience I can't remember her name but she had blonde hair she was taking orders, clearing tables taking payments she was on top of everything. We ordered the burger as our main with brioche bun I forgot to take a picture and ordered the cheesecake for our dessert that I did take a picture of as it was just delicious. They were super busy and I can definitely see why. Keep up the great work we'll definitely be back.

    Place was surprisingly empty for a busy day in the village. Burger was amazing and even the chips tasted gorgeous. They came with mayo and ketchup in a glass container which is always a plus for me. Staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was amazing. Recommended.

    This is a gorgeous restaurant with lovely staff and delicious food. The arancini rice balls for starters were particularly good, as was the death by chocolate dessert. We got the set menu which was really good value for money. The building interior is very nice and the atmosphere was lovely.

    Great value for a 2 course meal for €28, staff was friendly and service was quick, however the flavour was only okay.

    The food was good but honestly I don’t know if they staff knew what they were doing ordered the spaghetti and beef burger and the stuff came up only with the spaghetti and then later after a good 10 mins had to call the staff and remind them about the burger, which was then brought to the table.

    We went here for a meal after my son's communion. My daughter was 14 months old at the time and she is an incredibly messy eater. The staff were amazing and went out of their way to make us feel welcome and comfortable and would not let me clean up after my daughter. They made sure we all enjoyed the meal and they were so kind to my kids. And the food is absolutely glorious!!! 100% recommend they are fantastic - thank you!!

    The food is wonderful, especially the bread, but the service is very bad. I counted six waiters in the space I was in and I had to order what I wanted for three people to be served. The impression is that they don't care about customers.

    Enjoyed a delicious meal. We got the Arancini to start, Bolognaise and the prawn Fettuccine for mains and Gelato and choc fondant for desert. Couldn’t fault any of the dishes. We also loved the Lime and mint drink. Staff were friendly and helpful.
