    Loved the chicken wings. Beef burgers was alright. Chocolate mousse was fantastic. Prices are reasonable for a 3 course meal. Friendly staff. I heard the place can get crowded sometimes (especially during weekend) so booking a table online is recommended. There was some free tables available on Saturday lunch time. Both indoor and outdoor seating available.

    Wary to seat outside post rain storm,but this cosy outside area is perfect, warm and cosy. Extremely friendly service and every dish we tried was presented in a mouth watering way.Tasting delicious food on every course. A must return restaurant 👌

    Fantastic food, great service and the staff are so friendly. They've really made every effort to make dining safe with their outdoor seating area and extra precautions in place. Delighted to see a good business doing so well. Looking forward to another visit soon hopefully!

    Service has always been amazing each time we come in. It's cute & clean. We enjoy the variety on the menu & desserts. I will say the flavors are not as rich as I'd expect for Italian. I wonder if that's been modified to fit the local area.

    Great food. I ordered the arancini and chicken dish. The flavours of both were so good, especially the chicken. Roast potatoes were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside with an excellent garlic aioli. Staff were friendly. Service was prompt. Price for the 2 courses was very reasonable. Also who doesn’t love complimentary bread. Decor of restaurant really nice. Would definitely recommend.

    One if my 3 top brunch places. The food is far better than you would expect from a small neighbourhood restaurant. Friendly, efficient staff. Interesting wine list. A brunch extraordinaire.

    Really enjoyable meal at Riba for a family celebration. High quality food and service that has been consistently great. Having visited pre, post, and enjoyed take-out during the pandemic I have never been disappointed with Riba. Lucky to have a local eatery of such great quality with great staff.

    Loved our meal in RIBA Stillorgan. Their outdoor seating area is gorgeous and the food, wine and service were fantastic. Can’t wait to go back and try the rest of the menu

    Nice and cosy place, lovely burguer and very kind staff. My wife brought me there for my birthday and posted a photo on Instagram. Some staff member saw it and they prepare a small birthday cake with a candle and sang Happy Birthday to me. Very nice detail that I appreciated a lot. Small details make such a difference!!!

    Great local italian Restaurant great food nice service ...

  • 4/5 Kevin B. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice food. Excellent friendly service. Quite a short menu to choose from. I wouldn't think of here as a typical Italian restaurant with pizza and pasta dishes being the main choices. Instead what you get are dishes exclusive to here. At the pricier end of the market with evening mains with sides averaging €25. Steak with sides €33. Starters €10. Nice food if you're happy to pay.

    Visited Riba while trying to get a quick bite before the cinema. Food was lovely and the waiter was very friendly and prompt with the food for us. Great atmosphere, the outside has heaters and is enclosed. They have blankets available too.

    Just happened to be passing by on a dreary October evening. "Let's try Riba," said the wife. "We've never been there before." Well I know not to object to the boss herself, and in we went. We were greeted and seated promptly and our coats were taken. The menu was concise, but with good variety. The drinks list was also very good. I had a goats cheese starter and herself had buffalo wings. Our mains were pork belly for me and mussels for wife. We ordered beer and a spritz type drink. We didn't leave a crumb on our plate between us. Really great food. Beautiful fresh bread and olive oil was also served. All this was just under €70. Bargain.

    Most amazing chicken wings with a beautiful tangy sauce, will be back for more!

  • 2/5 Asya M. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered kids chicken wings, they came in a super spicy sauce, not ok for a child. Chips looked good but came entirely cold. Chicken supreme was good.

  • 4/5 Rita L. 11 months ago on Google
    V friendly staff, service excellent, I found menu limiting for me. Had the burger 🍔. Nice but lacked flavour. Chips 🍟 delicious. Thank you.

  • 5/5 Ezequiel C. 11 months ago on Google
    I can not stress how amazing Riba is. We have been coming for over a year now, and we never had a bad experience. The food is amazing and the staff super friendly. Something that I like and that is not that common in hospitality is that the staff is always the same. If I have to guess, that's because it's an amazing place. As a final note I would like to say that it's a family friendly restaurant, and I love that.

  • 5/5 Jonathan m. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing food and service was great. Great priced food. Looking forward to going back

    One of the nicest fillet steaks I've had. Restaurant inside is small but does have outdoor area. Wings were also very nice. Staff nothing but helpful also.. Will definitely visit again if in the area.

    Lovely food and nice staff. A little bit expensive but worth it 👌

  • 5/5 Lorna C. 1 year ago on Google
    My 91 year old Mum called in here yesterday Friday 9th December, just as the place was closing. They gave her a much needed cup of coffee, helped her to book a taxi, waited with her, and carried her bags out to the taxi. They went well above and beyond what might be expected. Thank you all so much, you are very decent human beings!

  • 5/5 Annabel do Carmo P. 4 years ago on Google
    Lovely local Italian restaurant located in Stillorgan. Cozy ambience, friendly staff and a great choice of wines! I tried the Seafood Tonnarelli and it did not disappoint. The flavours of the food mixed well with the wine I had. The food is priced on the higher side, but definitely worth it. Well done!

  • 5/5 andreina montes m. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious food, staff is really nice, not cheap but worth every penny. We will come back.

  • 5/5 Michael T. 6 years ago on Google
    Loved everything about this place from start to finish. Interior, ambience and staff are all on point before you even touch a bite of food. My girlfriend and I had the prawns and bruchetta to begin, lamb and Stonebass for mains and the Nutella brioche and semi-freddo for dessert. I couldn't fault a thing! Everything was extremely fresh and of superb quality! The brioche in particular was one of the best desserts I've ever tasted in Dublin. Already looking forward to our return and would highly recommend to all!

  • 5/5 Leslie E. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good tasty food. We all had different dishes and enjoyed them equally. Wee bit disappointed with the tiny lemon dessert.

  • 5/5 cillian b. 4 years ago on Google
    One of the best places to eat brunch in Dublin. They are always accommodating to walk ins and every member of staff I have interacted with so far have been lovely. The nachos are just class. They are technically a sharing portion, but don’t kid yourself, you’re not sharing these with anyone. The full Irish is next level too.

  • 5/5 Clare O. 3 years ago on Google
    A firm favourite. Great value menu and great vegetarian options. Are also happy to accommodate small changes from menu if you wish. Staff are all quick, alert and very friendly. Great Dinner/Brunch spot.

  • 5/5 Brian C. 3 years ago on Google
    I regularly visit Riba for brunch which is excellent, but we decided to try their evening menu for the first time over the weekend. The food was excellent, as was the service and atmosphere. The outdoor terrace is a welcome addition. Looking forward to going back soon.

  • 5/5 Raphael G. 3 years ago on Google
    Regularly come here. Thankyou for opening up again and serving us. It helps to have a little normality back in our lives. We love everything about your restaurant. Your food and your service. (and the cointreau coffees!) - - - really appreciate it. I should probably have left this review ages ago but was too lazy!

  • 5/5 Maeve O' C. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing food and service as always. Best brunch in Dublin and staff so friendly, we had a baby with us and nothing was too much trouble. Creme brulee to die for?

  • 5/5 Donal Paul C. 4 years ago on Google
    Got a great delivery today. Came right when they said they would and food was perfect. Great they are delivering when the restaurant is closed

  • 1/5 Karl C. 4 years ago on Google
    I've already emailed you Shane and you didn't bother to reply which tells me that you don't care. You just lost two potential new customers so well done. That says a lot about your customer service!!

  • 5/5 Damian B. 3 years ago on Google
    Love this place, staff great, making a great effort during these times. Food super & the cold Peroni is wow.

  • 5/5 Pierre M. 4 years ago on Google
    We were really thrilled to see that Riba deliveres eggs Benedict at home. We have ordered them and did not regret! Even though the eggs have been delivered home all egg yolks were runny, exactly like you get them at their restaurant. Amazing job guys!!! :)

  • 5/5 Alish K. 4 years ago on Google
    Absolutely blown away by the fantastic service here! We arrived at peak time on a Saturday without a booking (annoying, I know) and were acknowledged and seated straight away. The staff were extremely attentive with our server in particular being extremely lovely despite being under pressure with a full restaurant ! The food came out promptly and was so so tasty. I was so full from the gorgeous starter and main but just had to taste their desserts! Will definitely be adding this little restaurant to the top of my list to frequent more often! Thank you :)

  • 5/5 Sarah H. 4 years ago on Google
    We ordered a meal to be delivered to my mother in law tonight for her birthday and she really enjoyed it, they also sent her a lovely piece of cake saying Happy birthday which was such a lovely touch and was unexpected. Thank you for making her birthday such a nice one in these tough times when we would normally all be together. 5star service ?

    Great meal, great service, excellent local spot Met a friend for dinner on a Tuesday, waiter was friendly from the moment I walked in looking for her. We both had ravioli which was amazing, and shared some chips. Dessert of course had to follow, after some encouragement. Staff really make this place that extra special. Such a lovely evening!
