    The food was very ordinary and boring, flavorless! Service was lackluster, no follow up if anything is required. There are many other good Italian restaurants in Dublin and would definitely not visit this place again.

    The food was pricy, but delicious vegetarian risotto available. Also very cosy on the inside with lots of wine to choose from. Very kind staff working here, making us have a great evening.

    Delicious pasta! The ravioli and fresh tagliatelle pasta were fantastic. The risotto was good but the pasta is the way to go

    Recommended by a family friend. Excellent and authentic Italian cuisine. Service team was friendly and prompt. Italian wine selection is good and not overpriced. Ravioli special, gnocchi, bruschetta and tiramisu was all superb. Will return often.

    Coming from an italian, this was the best italian food I have ever tried not only abroad but also in Italy itself! They import every single product from Italy and that DEFINITELY makes the difference. In every dish you’ll try in the menu you can taste the true olive oil, tomatoes, cheese, cured meets, wine, and so on which add the best flavors to anything you will order. We tried so many things in the menu and we will definitely go back to try more. Location is also perfect in the real city center and in a cozy environment. The staff is also so kind and welcoming, smiling and super friendly. Everything from A to Z is perfect in this restaurant ( desserts included… Their homemade Tiramisù is simply mouth watering) Don’t forget to try their pastas of the day otherwise you’ll be missing out on the best thing you’ll ever eat in Dublin and more😃 100% recommended!

    Food is nice. Service pretty unimpressive. Went on the afternoon of 30th June 2022. Wasn't super busy. Waited about 15 minutes to be served once seated - after barely being greeted by the waiter in the black shirt at the front. Almost impossible to get any service. Substandard. Better choices in Dublin.

    Whopper Tiramisu! One of the best I have ever had! The food was all round awesome with an extensive wine list and great service! Did not even know this restaurant was here but would recommend to anyone! Very good and super central!

    I really like this place. The food is so good, tasty and so nice. The only cons is that they don't have a kid's menu. We went with my son, we ordered him some food from the adult's menu and he didn't eat it at the end 😂 too fancy for him. Anyway, the place is amazing and I really love it but I would at least advertise it as a mostly adult restaurant unless you kiddo is more than 5yo. Mine is 2½ and is a bit picky. Really recommended for a night out with the partner or a friend's night out.

    We dropped in for a meal, a starter (1) CROSTONE NDUJA, BIETA E SALSICCIA, FONTAL Toasted Altamura sourdough, nduja, Tuscan sausage, fontal cheese, Swiss chard. and a light main RAVIOLI AI FUNGHI Mushroom ravioli, parmigiano fonduta, crushed walnuts, truffled olive oil. and desert 'Tiramisù al Vinsanto with Tuscan Vinsanto and a bottle of wine. 'Castello di Tassarolo 'Titouan' Barbera Piemonte' Very refined and elegant, soft tones of cherries and black 'berries' round and balanced. An excellent early evening light meal for two, finished off with an espresso.

    the pasta was good but it was the worst tea you've had in Dublin, sawdust flavored tea, looks like the owner tries to save money on tea

  • 5/5 Kseniia R. 5 months ago on Google
    Linguini pasta with seafood is one of the best in the city. We have been here twice and both times took this particular pasta. I don't understand where the negative comments about this dish come from. A large selection of wines. I agree with the comment regarding the not very friendly reception. The first time we caught a representative of the restaurant for a long time to be put down, it was as if we were not noticed. The second time we were quickly put down, but the manager was unfriendly. The waiters are great.

    Very cozy and popular Italian restaurant with a lot awards! Risotto with shrimps mint and lime was the most tastiest in my life! Professional service, classical music playing here. They serve drinks very fast. I fell in love with cocktail amaretto sour ! Thank a lot for what you do and how! Recommend!!!

    Just simply love this restaurant. It’s one of my “go to places” when in Dublin. There’s a great selection of food to satisfy all palates- vegetarian is fully catered for with plenty for the deserving meat eater. The selection of wines catered for each meal with a great choice of red, white and bubbles 🍷 I’ve recommended this restaurant to friends, who are foodie critics- I’m pleased to say they also enjoyed the experience. Not sure about wheelchair access as it quite snug between tables. Value for money is good for a mid range / high end restaurant. Parking is easy, either outside or within a number of the local car parks.

    We went for lunch for a special occasion yesterday, and everything was to perfection. Service was excellent, lovely selection of wines, and food was very tasty with generous portions. It was so good that didn't get any pictures, only by dessert time I remembered. Had one of the most delicious tiramisu I've ever had.

    4 stars because it doesn’t match with the service and price. Receptionist was a bit frosty. Food and everything looks very presentable and nice. Restaurant has a nice vibe. Linguine was bland, added a lot parmesan cheese and salt pepper myself. Ordered dessert dark chocolate almond cake with vanilla ice cream, the chocolate cake was awful and dry, ice cream was lovely. Wait service was good.

    Best panna cotta I ever had ! 😍 very delicious food and cosy atmosphere, definitely will come back! Came without reservation on Friday evening and got a nice table outside, very friendly staff, thank you for beautiful dinner ❤️

  • 5/5 Haley 1 year ago on Google
    Honestly the best cappuccino and ravioli I’ve had in a very long time. The mushroom ravioli is to die for, I wish I could have it as my death row meal. Absolutely wonderful Italian cuisine, and staff are very kind and attentive. Can’t wait to come back the next time I’m in Dublin.

  • 5/5 Diane T. 1 year ago on Google
    We decided to change the ambience and why not an authentic Italian restaurant.we had some antipastos bruschetta and cheese board,which we liked it and also the nice wine.stuff was very nice,we will be back for sure. The restaurant is also very beautiful 🤩

  • 4/5 Giuseppe M. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place where to eat. High quality for good prices. The only thing I did not like was the price of the bread. 3 euro for 4 slices of bread, too much. It should have been included in the price.

  • 4/5 James C. 2 years ago on Google
    It is nice place for dinning. The staffs are very friendly and the menu are sample but great tasty. Most important is their wine list.

  • 4/5 Pamela D. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was excellent and the staff were very friendly. The outdoor seating is not conducive to the Irish climate. So again I left I was freezing. We had to get up three times and ask for the check. By the last time we asked we were beyond frustrated, and both late. That kind ruined the experience for me.

  • 4/5 Fergus O. 2 years ago on Google
    Very reliable authentic Italian restaurant especially excellent wine options and mainly Italian staff. The menu is good but my only regret is the blend of non Italian dishes reduces the choice a little. My starter of grilled vegetables was excellent and main course of spaghetti with speck ham was tasty snd potions massive, best of all was the tiramisu! Staff are very friendly and helpful the fact that they are training a few of the Italian staff doesn’t intrude on the experience quite the opposite it just gives it a overall pleasant feel. A bit pricey perhaps but perhaps worth it!

    A beautiful spot at all times of the day. Great for coffee and chocolates mid-morning or a traditional Italian lunch/dinner. Many of the staff are young Italians, which is welcome. They stock a very wide range of wine and authentic Italian produce. The owner has also written at least one cookbook which is well regarded.

  • 5/5 Chara T. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely place with exquisite Italian food and a friendly attitude. I’ve eaten here three times and each one was a great experience. Do try their specials and treat yourself to tiramisu at the end of your meal. Sophisticated yet approachable, it’s one of my favourites in Dublin and beyond. Highly recommend their ravioli and go for their clam pasta if it’s on the specials menu! Nice range of wines too and the staff is really polite.

  • 5/5 Clara F. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing welcome and in the warm atmosphere. Kind and nice staff. Amazing and fresh food by the chief. Very good and complete map of wine. It's one on my favourite restaurant to eat in Dublin, the awards are fully deserved as lunch or diner.. I'm feeling I'm in Italy.
