    Disappointing. Can’t really think of another word to say. We’ve wanted to visit for a while because there’s always people inside and it looks really nice. Well all I can say is that the food is okay. It’s not amazing but it’s not bad either. It’s just okay and because of that it’s disappointing becase you can’t complain to them about the food but you can’t also just say hey I just wanted to tell you your food is just mediocre. So I’m very upset because we wanted to visit for a while but ultimately the food arrived just medium warm (hot in some places) and on my Burrata pasta I only had a tiny little piece of Burrata on it. For the prices they’re charging their services nor their food is up to par. Save your money and go somewhere else

    Great food selection from salads to pizza, pasta, burgers , large portions, cocktails were tasty, but staff is very slow and very young standing around with their phones in their hands so that was the only minus. Otherwise definitely visit!

    This restaurant was really nice. The staff were extremely friendly and the service was flawless. Drinks were spot on, and the atmosphere was great! (We ate yesterday evening, a Saturday). My only issue was that the steak I ordered as rare appeared to only have been cooked for 20 seconds a side, and was barely warm in the middle. Sure, I did order a steak at an Italian restaurant, sure I did order it rare, and sure I could have asked for it to be taken back and re done. However, I didn’t want to cause a fuss (I take full responsibility for this), and the steak actually tasted really nice! I had the garlic butter with it and the skinny fries were great too. I will attach a photo of said steak, and perhaps it could be a lesson to future customers not to order a rare steak, and also maybe the chef just to double check the temperature! No hard feelings though, would come back again.

    Food was fantastic, lovely staff and setting. Also a great location, we went for lunch at half 12 sunday (mothers day) without a booking, they were accommodating. We had chicken wings and garlic bread for starter. I love chicken wings and these chicken wings were incredible. I could have sat there all day and eating them. Garlic bread was great. Really nice bread and then they give you tonnes of super nice garlic butter to dip into. We also had a margarita pizza and a pesto pasta and they were both unreal. If I lived in Dublin I would be a regular and if I return to Dublin I will for sure return here.

    I do recommend this place for TOURISTS . Really nice restaurant at a good location close to the temple bar area. The staff was super nice and helpful and we did not needed a reservation. God the bbq pork ribs .. super good seasoning and not dry. The sauce to sweet for my liking and to store like, but that's personal preference. That pork lasagna was a hit .. very unique and tasted like pulled pork roast.. super good. Cocktails were ok, nothing fancy. Service 5/5 Location 5/5 Food 4/5 Drinks 3/5 Price 4/5

    The service here was excellent and the staff were knowledgeable about the gluten free options. The food was good, we will be back to try more of the options. I especially enjoyed the gluten free chocolate brownie, perfect to share after a carb heavy main. 🥮

    A great place to be at with large groups, food is really good and service is even better, very friendly staff! Book in advance as it gets busy, and I would highly recommend their desserts too. Set menu available for large groups.

    Great food, the lunch menu is really good value too. Really enjoyed the wings and the burger. Also the staff are lovely and really attentive/accommodating… We were there with 2 prams and they couldn’t have been more helpful! (I did take off a star because they didn’t have coffees due to frother being broken and they advertise 2 beef patties on the burgers but there’s only one.)

    Great place and excellent service. Visited yesterday for a plate of Nachos (with pulled pork) and large chicken wings. The nachos were great and very well presented. The chicken wings had a great sauce. However, the quality of the wings themselves isn't the best. I've had wings in several spots in Dublin and they have much better quality. I hope you can switch to better supply of wings.

    Loves the ambience. Being a vegetarian, Pesto Pasta and Vegetarian was too good. My friends tried Chicken Fajita and Chicken Burger, they loved it. Have to mention this Dilek was so friendly and accommodating. She recommended the Pesto Pasta, it was worth it. Overall it was a great experience.

    Had dinner at Luigi Malone’s in Dublin city’s Temple Bar with a large group during a busy night. Loved the atmosphere at Luigi’s but unfortunately, the place seemed understaffed at the time and as a consequence, the service wasn’t as quick. Also, it can be hard to get the attention of members of the waiting team. For dinner, I ordered their vegan pizza which was decent but what I was delighted was were the textures of the pizza, which were similar to that of non-vegan pizza. Reasonably priced gin and tonic too (for Temple Bar anyway). Based on feedback from other members of the group, the food was cheap but the quality was OK. Don’t expect mind-blowingly excellent food but overall, I think Luigi Malone’s is a good place for large groups to get decent food and affordable drinks.

    Really nice place, big portions for both starter and main, and the cocktails were fantastic especially the mist one. The meringue dessert felt like a dinner itself.

  • 4/5 Kathlyn P. 8 months ago on Google
    The food was great as well as the staff. A lot of people were there by the time we arrived that's why it took a bit long for the food to serve. All in all, still recommendable.

    It was very good, I really enjoyed the Alfredo pasta. The pizza was also good. Great service as well

    Looking for reasonable priced Italian flair, then you're gonna want to eat here! The menu offers familiar favorites. The ravioli was perfect, not too heavy on the sauce. The show stopper was the tiramisu. From the very first bite you find yourself mumbling, "oh my God." They make it from scratch, in-house & it's a truly magical desert that you'll not forget. Pardon the photo with a couple bites already missing.

    I had an AMAZING dinner, Salmon and a side salad plus we tried the Caprese Salad. Everything was FANTASTIC and the service was a 10/10. I think at least 5 different people stopped to check on us during dinner. The place was very busy but the service never slowed. I will DEFINITELY dine here again.

    We tried both tried pizza today. I had the 4 cheese (tasted heavy on blue cheese) and added onion and tomato. Crust is super thin though not crispy. Had a lot of black burned areas but I believe it was fire roasted. Very convenient location for us so able to grab a bite easily. Food was fresh! They offer pizza, pasta, etc. Located in the temple district in Dublin.

    We were in the lower level. It was lite up well but still dark and very loud because it was so enclosed. However, the food was fast, very delicious, and the servers were amazing. Very friendly and helpful.

    Came here last night for a friends birthday. The food wasn’t bad and I did enjoy myself. We got the buffalo wings to share which were really delicious. We also got a sharing pint of Strawberry Daiquiri, which was grand too. I got there Chicken BBQ pizza and for dessert I got their cheesecake. We had to sit outside because some people in our group weren’t fully vaccinated, but there’s was almost zero lighting outside. It was pretty dark and we could barely see each other. They have us little table lights but I do think they could try get some better lights. Apart from that I had a great time and the food wasn’t too bad.

    So, we went to Luigi Malone, Cork. Very nice place, very good food, outdoor seating, very nice and peaceful location when compared to city. We ordered vegetarian lasagna: tasty and yum, decent portion; vegetarian pizza: thin crust, lots of vegetables, served warm; long island iced tea: the best I have ever had, this was the highlight of the dinner; nachos and cauliflower on the sides: very very tasty, must order from appetizers, served hot, big portions; and my friends ordered milk shakes and some juices: they liked it. Service by the new trainee Anne Marie: top of the order, good to speak to, food served hot in no time, calm composed courteous soft spoken. Overall, it was a nice dinner and experience, would love to come back again. 5 stars for them 1 star deducted on the account of Manager( i think her name is Paulina). We asked for student discounts and her manager said 1. We dont do student discounts: fair enough; 2. You guys don't look like students: found that bit rude or not a good quality joke. But then I showed my Student id card to them. Thats why deducted 1 star. Must go place.

    Restaurant located really centrally. Some vegan options like pizza or burger. The burger was tasty and accompanied by fries/ chips even though the burger pattie seemed to be quite soft/ not completely cooked. Overall, we had a good time!

  • 2/5 Debby M. 2 years ago on Google
    Beer flat. Margarita pizza was awful. Skinny chips were burnt. Nachos were cold in a scalding hot dish. Burger and carbonara were nice. Restaurant very cold staff had to keep their coats on. Service was good but I will not return

    Recommended by a friend, didn't disappoint. Would definitely go back, first week they got back open for indoor dining so we were advised they were still (just for this week) working off a reduced outdoor menu. Food was brilliant 👌

    A treat at the temple bar. while strolling through the Temple bar region we found this restaurant which was a great surprise, for starters we chose a portion of beef taco which was amazing, for the main courses we chose a BLUE cheese Gnocchi and a Ragu lasagna both were very tasty, just for the gnocchi that came in a small portion compared to the other options. to drink we ordered an alcoholic lemonade, it was very sweet but we drank it anyway. I highly recommend this restaurant.
