    I love this real italian place! It was on Saturday evening. The restaurant was full of people, but the manager found a table for us, luckily. I’m glad that I could eat one of the best pizza in Dublin!! We choose Margerita and Forno 500. There were classy and so delicious! I highly recommend this place! We will come back soon!

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Forno 500 in Dublin. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff was friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. The pizza was cooked to perfection and the pasta dishes were flavorful and filling. The wine selection was also impressive. Overall, I had a wonderful experience at Forno 500 and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great Italian meal in Dublin.

    Absolutely the best meal I've had in Dublin since I moved 3 months ago. Service was good as well. Only issue was that the place is so popular that they didn't have space so I had to sit outside at a table that didn't get full exposure to the outdoor heaters. That's my fault for not having a reservation. I'll definitely be back!

    One of the best restaurants in Ireland! (I am very rarely giving 5 *). The food is outstanding, rich in flavours and perfectly balanced. The portion sizes are good and reasonably priced (prices are Not low but the meals are wort it). The staff is very kind and know what is doing. The place is also very clean and has nice cozy atmosphere. The menu has enough positions and good Vegetarian and Gluten Free options. Desserts are also prepared very well. Even that the place has little space for improvement and some of the prices could be little lower, I will definitely comeback there and I recommend this place

    Nice, cosy and central Italian restaurant. The size could sit around 12 groups. Only issue is the amount of people walking by our table. The waiters were polite and could speak both Italian and English. Food is also quite good. Not the best pizza I've had (bit burnt) but the pasta was very nice. Expensive for what you're getting unfortunately. A plate of pasta can cost up to 16 euro. Overall nice evening but personally probably wouldnt come back due to pricing. Give it a try!

    It is one of the best Italian restaurants in Dublin. Good menu with good products. The place is very nice and they have long service hours. The service is very good, we were served by a very polite Brazilian girl and a Chilean waiter who was very charming. I highly recommend this restaurant!

    Went there for a lunch with friend, I had spaghetti. Food was good. My Italian friend did not like his pizza much, it was not crispy enough for a high temperature oven they’ve been using. Felt okay to me.

    I ordered a lasagna and it was divine! My partner had sea bass dish and was delicious! I saw some pizzas being served to other people and I thought about ordering it as well. But I was too full since the meals are large enough. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I left my sunglasses on the table and one of the waiters found me on street and gave them to me.

    Amazing experience. Delightful staff that were more than willing to have us have an extended dining time, including started, two separate orders of pizza, dessert and aperitive. Both pizzas were absolutely delicious, esp the Montana, the Modena was worth it for the pistachios alone! Highly recommend.

    One of the best pizzerias in Dublin, period. The pizza was a traditional Neapolitan style pizza and it was perfect. From the attention to detail and technique to quality of ingredients you can't go wrong. Unfortunately, we tried only the pizzas so I don't have a comment for the pastas, but from a quick look around the tables I have to say that the ratio between pizza and pasta was almost 50/50. So if you go there don't skip on the pastas like we did. The staff was very friendly and helpful in everything we needed, but not too overbearing. As for the atmosphere, it is clear from the decor that a lot of thought has been put into it and it shows. All and all, I highly recommend it next time I will be in Dublin, I will definitely come again!

    I loved my lunch here. The food was fine. The dessert was large and looked fancy. My pizza leftovers were packed into a neat box for me. The staff were very pleasant. The view out of the window was pleasant and the music was quiet and nice.

    Really good food, the staffs was amazing and the place too. Good wine options with good prices too. It’s not a cheap restaurant but it’s not expensive too. I ask for a starter, a main dish, a dessert and I share a bottle of wine with my friends and I spent 48 euros. I recommend

    A quick stop in before a night out of theatre. The calamari was a larger than life experience, light breading. Pasta had a smooth sauce and enjoyable to the last bite.

    Wanted to give 5 stars, but our margarita pizza had a total of 2 basil leaves… as far as service and ambiance, I give it 5 stars. The bruschetta was unique- garlic toast loaded with tomato and onion. Good but seems to be cutting some corners to save money. Probably not worth the $$ spent.

    Visiting from Ohio, USA, and we can honestly say that this was the best pizza we have ever had. Extremely impressed with the food, ambiance and great service. Well done.

    Fancy decor but food is not. It’s medium, little doubt about the freshness of ingredients. Not the best place for Italian food, maybe tourist thing I don’t know

    A super nice and authentic restaurant in Dublin. We tried their margarita pizza and mushroom ravioli, both were amazing. The upstairs seating area is really comfortable and creates a nice atmosphere. Definitely recommend reserving a table.

    Phenomenal pizza and calamari. Me and partner ended up here after we tried to revisit and old favourite restaurant, which sadly we found had closed down. I'm glad we stumbled upon this gem instead! Gorgeous old Irish building slap bang in Temple Bar. Brilliant authentic food and some of the best pizza dough I've ever had!

    Delicious food. Nice options for vegetarians as well. Easier to get a table if booked in advance as the place is usually busy. We chose Ricotta and Spinach lasagna, caprese and porciana

  • 3/5 Wuraola 1 year ago on Google
    I give 4stars because my starter of fried rice balls was very good and the staff was friendly. The pasta was a bit undercooked but I believe that was because they had a problem with the gas and electricity in the kitchen. The seafood was good tho.

    Lovely Italian restaurant. One of the best Italian restaurants in Dublin. I came here over 5 times over the last year. The food and service are very consistent. Place is not huge, just enough to capture the Italian atmosphere. Service: The service has always been friendly and polite. The meal arrives fast and everything seems to be in the right place. Food: The quality of the food is impeccable. In all my visits not once I left disappointed. The pizzas are the most similar to the best Italian pizzas I use to eat back in Italy. The pasta is great and the entrées are, possibly, the best of the whole experience. I was definitely decided to give it 5 stars, however, the price has increased considerably, therefore I am taking away one. The fifth one is debatable. Soon, it will be out of the market. A plate of pasta for 23 euros is only understandable with a Michelin star in front of the door.

    Recent visit to Dublin and really wanted authentic Italian pizza. We chose Forno and wasn't disappointed. Really good service, proper pizzas and friendly staff. Would visit again when over in Ireland.

    Visited It yesterday. The Pizza was good. Tasty and well done. The lasagna was like a tomato soup so I wouldn't recommend it. Had to use a spoon to finish it. The service was quiet slow. We have to wait for over an one hour after ordering to get our food.

    Good quality delicious food for a reasonable price. Nice outdoor area and helpful staff. Please be aware that you will be charged a 5% service fee on top of your bill which is not common in Dublin.

    The most delicious pizza ever, the tomato sauce was out of this world, the base so so yummy! And the dessert was delicious and love the idea of the ice cream being on top so is way easier to eat!

    We found this Italian Restaurant on Dame Street! Their pizza was Delicious. Definitely going back for more! It's a perfect Italian Restaurant right beside The Olympia. We were just looking for somewhere to eat! We came across it by chance. I just found out it is one of the best places in Dublin to have pizza. Their pizza is Authentic! It's made the real Italian way too! Real Woodfire pizza! The staff are friendly and the restaurant has a nice cozy atmosphere.
