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 ❤️
A. L.
Such a lovely restaurant. Great value, great food and great staff. What I liked the most is we were not rushed out of the restaurant and were able to relax with a bottle of wine after our meal without being moved on. Staff couldn't be nicer.

Best quality italian food in the middle of capital city. Good number of seats available and not too busy all the time. Covid guidelines to be followed. Welcoming and friendly staff. Knowledgeable about the Italian food. Food is delicious and well presented.The restaurant is in business for a very long time so the quality is also incomparable. Wide range of wines to order from. Park car in one of those Q parks or private car parks near by. A little expensive though 😉
C. F.
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.
C. T.
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.
J. C.
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.
D. M.
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.
F. O.
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!
T. C.
Nice restaurant, nice staff, food is good.

This is a fabulous, well established authentic Italian Restaurant close to Trinity College. The food is like dining in Italy and the staff are all Italian and so charming, friendly and professional. I sat in the outside dining section because of Government Covid restrictions at the moment on dining indoors. They have always had this outdoor section as part of their dining experience, hence the foliage surrounds, overhead wall heaters and canopies overhead. It's also on the sunny side if the street. I had lunch, a glass of white wine and a latte. Mamma Mia! To die for! I had the Contadina warm salad consisting of succulent Irish chicken marinated in honey, crispy Italian pancetta, chargrilled peppers, tomatoes, olive oil, all on a bed of fresh mixed leaves and a choice of bread on the side. I had two tasty sourdough slices of bread drizzled lightly with olive oil and toasted to perfection. The portion was very generous. Other dishes around me that other diners had looked equally delicious. I highly recommend dining there, the prices are very reasonable and the experience a satisfying delight.
B. A.
We just came in and were very well received. Ordered drinks and food. Very quick to be served at the time - around 19 pm. Surprised by the quality. Great food.
M. L.
Food was absolutely delicious and wine recommended by the waiter was perfect,service was a little bit slow and my wife had to bring to the attention of the staff regarding the condition of the ladies toilets other wise we had a lovely evening
M. M.
First time at this location, have been previously to their restaurants in Dundrum Town Centre and in Sandymount. Each and every time the food was top notch, delicious and excellent service. I'd recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Dublin.
P. D.
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.
B. H.
Excellent food. I get a bit frustrated with the way Europe hoards the ice and the tap water. I just wanted a tall glass of ice water but I think the concept is lost here. I am American and we love our ice. Anyway, I had the racotta and spinach filled ravioli. They called it something else and now I don't remember the name. I asked for something with a creamy sauce and our waitress pointed this out. It was incredible. Perfect portion, very tasty. We also ordered separate an olive oil sprinkled bread portion. That was delicious as well. Great service. Definitely family owned. Everyone of the staff was very much Italian in the middle of Ireland so that was apparent. Beautiful place. Clean. Lovely people, lovely place and delicious food.
G. M.
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.
P.
Stunning food, amazing tastes and service second to none!!!
A. O.
Amazing service, great food, best Panna Cotta ever
C. H.
Always a lovely spot, staff so nice. We'd hot chocolates, very Italian!!
C. P.
Place is pleasant and welcoming. Wine selection is incredibly wide and plenty to choose from. Food was lovely. Definitely coming back.
A. S.
Went recently for an anniversary dinner and found it a bit disappointing. Perhaps down to the fact we went at around 5.30 so it was before the dinner rush which we felt they were prioritizing. The kitchen was v noisy and we found the food a bit average for the pricetag. Won't be returning.
M. “. S.
The best Italian restaurant I’ve been to in Ireland. Authentic, excellent food, good wine, friendly staff and a lovely cosy atmosphere. Definitely coming back. Also bought a bottle of their extra virgin olive oil...so good!
N. F.
So we went here yesterday for Dinner. The staff was very very friendly. Even though we had some struggle to decide on what to eat but the waiter waited very patiently and offered us some help. I decided for the mushroom ravioli with grana perdano sauce. Also did we order the house wine. The food didn't take that long to come. It was not the biggest portion but tasted excellent. All in all I can recommend to go there.
J. R.
By far our favourite restaurant in Dublin. The gnocchi is simply to die for. Great selection of wine - a genuinely lovely Italian experience.
S. S.
We had a delicious dinner. The staff was super helpful and kind. I recommend the tagliatelle ragu and the sausage risotto as well as the prosecco and the merlot.
J. K.
Surprisingly busy on an early Friday evening. Everything eaten was delicious: the main course of chicken in cheese sauce, panna cotta and house white. Prices were fair, service was prompt, friendly and helpful. I'd definitely be interested in returning and trying more items off the menu.
J. L.
Nice place for Italian food . definitely worth ...
J. R.
Have been going to Dunne & Crescenzi since 1998 when it was small specialty shop. We have watched it grow and increase its offerings. Always a great experience and as Italian as we have found locally to where we shop when in town. Really enjoy when we can stop by for a meal.
j. h.
Always good for food 💝. Very ry good prices for a coffee and a sandwich. A something a little more classical dinner. You can't go wrong
R. S.
Good Italian food!
In every city you find an Italian restaurant, and basically I try to visit one each time. In this case it's a very nice one.
The atmosphere is jovial, the staff is completely Italian, so they are friendly, helpful and somewhat funny!
The food is very nice, and simple (as Italian food should be!). The tastes are as they should be. (Can't show you a picture of the food, but my empty plate shows more about the taste than an untouched plate).
Maybe one disadvantage... No pizza...
J. A. J.
The food was good, the wine delicious, and the environment lovely and comfortable. Perhaps I missed a bit of fineness with the food to give it a 5 star.
R. B. O.
This was one of the best restaurants I've been in Dublin! The food is very well prepared, homemade and fresh. I had the pesto tagliatelle and it was one of the best ones I've had, ever!
The staff is also very nice and always around in case you need anything. I also recommend the starter with mozzarella, prosciutto and pesto - very tasty!
C. T.
Lovely authentic Italian in Dublin. E vibe is modern wine lounge but the service and the food quite traditionally Italian. The mozzarella bar is virtual but wonderful range of ways to eat it and fresh options to choose from. The pasta was properly Al dente how I love it and although simple the pasta was delicious and fresh. Lovely wine list, exclusively Italian, and you sit surrounded by the bottles too.
F. d. C.
The best Italian restaurant in Dublin! The wine option s was incredible, the food was fresh and tasty. Prices are very good but I recommend to book a table because that place is always busy!
s. r.
Excellent stop off for us prior to Il Divo concert at Trinity Park. Booking advised. Excellent Venue. Hugs premises. Beautifully appointed. Wonderful blackboard specials. We opted for the spaghetti style Italian sausage special. Broccoli & white sauce. Light very tasty. Glass of bubbly. Why not. Lovely choice desserts & expressos. Very helpful attentive team. Well priced too. Lovely clientele. Ideal for solo or groups. Outdoor seating also. Go check it out. You can just pop in for coffee.
T. D. R.
Great food, with a massive wine list. Gast and efficient staff.
M. E. T.
Lovely quiet atmosphere with soft jazz in the background. Great wines, delicious food and attentive and smiling staff.
N. L.
We came here by accident. The reviews are speaking for itself but further that I definitely recommend this place. It’s pricy and the portions are not too big but you wouldn’t visit such a place to overload yourself anyways - quality before quantity! Their house wine tasted great as well! Greetings from Germany!
R. C.
We dashed in here on a Friday evening on the off-chance they may have room to take us as a walk-in. We've visited here before and had an excellent meal, and this time was no different. I ordered a steak cooked to perfection along with a nice bottle of red from their excellent selection. My better half had the Ravioli which almost gave me food envy until I took another bite of my steak. Always happy to drop in here for a bite and would recommend to others to do the same.
C. C.
This is our second time this week.Well done to Monica and Martha and all the friendly staff.Fish food fabulous.Love this Restaurant.Please Bring the fish menu to Dundrum our local Dunne and Credcenzi 🙌😍and friendly staff🙌

Authentic delicious Italian food and wine at reasonable prices
P. O. D.
Food was good wine was very good. Service was efficient but had to ask 3 times for table water. We were seated without a reservation which was great. We enjoyed our meal after a busy day shopping in Dublin.
s. h.
Excellent food, service all round great experience
J. R.
Highly recommend! Highlights: lovely outdoor patio with heaters, perfect for Covid. The food was really balanced and flavorful - pasta was the right texture and the cheeses were high quality (I got the mushroom ravioli). Staff is friendly and attentive. Very clean and staff wearing masks.
Note: when making a reservation online you need to make sure you get an email confining it was actually accepted (not just requested). There was some confusion on this when I arrived, but they still were able to seat me, and sent me a glass of Prosecco for the trouble - a classy gesture.
They won my repeat business, I will be back again to try the red sauce!
J. M.
Fantastic Italian food. Great service
E. H.
We just ordered on deliveroo this evening, Matteo called us to let us know he was struggling to get an available deliveroo driver. The restaurant was so considerate the chef remade our order again whilst waiting for a rider to collect - and then Matteo called us to let us know our food was on the way. Our food arrived and it was absolutely fantastic, delicious spaghetti puttanesca, as fresh as if we were sitting in the restaurant, a perfect taste of authentic Italy, fantastic bread and extras included as we had to wait - through no fault of the restaurant. Perfect service, delicious food and a restaurant that went out of its way to facilitate us. What more could you want. So looking forward to our next meal.
B. M.
Another great night in Dunne and Crescenzi. 2nd visit this month. That says it all .
A. F.
Great menu and possibly the best wine list I have seen in Dublin. We got in mid week with no booking at around 21:15 for four people, so More accommodating than most. They were pretty much full.
Y. L.
What a great restaurant. Family and group friendly. We had a excellent time. Great antipasti that satisfied a party of 8. The main courses were so flavorful. The desserts were perfect as well. Great selection of wines by the bottle and glass. We were pleasantly stuffed at the end. Hope to come back soon.
C. K.
Best food I’ve had in a long time. Prosciutto, mozzarella, and pesto appetizer was creamy, salty, and complex. Raviolis were delightfully filled with mushroom, cheese and truffle oil, and topped with walnuts and a cream sauce. Each bite was flawless. Dessert was the chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. Words cannot describe the experience, each bite was a blissful ecstasy. You must go here!
B. C.
This is a gem of Italian food, authentic cuisine and wine, busy and bustling, highly recommended.
R. R.
For me, the best Italian restaurant in Dublin.
S. C.
Great understanding and generosity of spirit shown by the manager to ensure covid regulations were adhered to
E. F.
I love going to this restaurant from time to time.
It’s clean and well stocked with attentive staff. Most enjoyable food nicely cooked and served.
Comfortable surroundings with a pleasant atmosphere.
Great stuff. 😀
R. I.
I really love this place. The food was great and a waiter was patience with me choosing wine, trying his best. I felt relaxed there bc they let you leave whatever you feel like, not like in some places they rush you after every finished dish. The food was lovely too. Thank you!
G.
Always fantastic - food and service
G. M.
Sudden choice to eat in one of my favourite venues in Dublin en route to a choir in Trinity Chapel.
Prawn starter was delicious and so fresh. It was enough for a main course.
As the driver I was not drinking but my companion assured me her wine was very good.
Service (as always in D&C) excellent, even though we were on a tight schedule.
Great restaurant
A. D.
Big restaurant, nice option for our situation at the moment because allows the social distancing and still fits loads of people. I have had food in the other two ( Sandymount and Kildare) it was my first time in town. The restaurant is great and staff is always lovely. This time I had an amazing ravioli Al gungho that I highly recommend.
T. S.
One of the better Italian styled restaurants. Great atmosphere, not cheap but good value for the overall rating out experience. I would have no hesitation recommending this venue.
M. F.
Nice place. Gave me an adult size coke which is not common for this area. The food was good.
D. J. O.
Best bruschetta and prosciutto in Dublin. Had a delicious evening here nibbling on exquisite Italian favourites, sipping wine and enjoying the excellent service
G. D. G.
Great food, lovely pasta
C. J.
Really nice food, great atmosphere and exceptionally friendly staff
S. H.
Our go-to place when were in town. Dunne and Crescenzi has never disappointed in the 12 or so years I've been visiting. Superb cooking, genuine regional Italian tastes and great service.
While not cheap, the wine selection is truly awesome.
N. M.
Very pleasant surprise but staff was a bit lost :) on that day...
j. d.
Amazing food. Very tasty and very well flavoured. Love the authenticity of the restaurant. Staff are extremely friendly. Would highly recommend this place. Best Italian in Dublin.
J.
This rating could've been a five if the waiter did not put on an attitude at the end of our meal. The venue is quite traditional and you've Italians greeting you and serving you. The dishes are quite tasteful and they offer an amazing number of different types of pasta. I was really happy with my Pappardelle con Ragu and felt that everybody was quite happy with their choices.
When we asked for the bill the waiter was quite upset when we asked if we could pay separately and this really drove me nuts. We were already paying for a service charge of 12% and it seemed like a giant effort for him to take our payment method. I just don't think that's the right attitude.
M. M.
Exquisite Italian restaurant. The price for a three course meal with wine could be considered a little mid-range of budget. Nonetheless, the food and wine is excellent. It's a place where one could find dining Booker Prize winning novelists, high flying actors or low flying members of parliament. Truly a gem.
j. s.
Really enjoyable experience, food excellent,
C. T.
10stars! One of the best in town. Proper Italian menu, genuine italian atmosphere, delicious food and staff top class. Even the espresso at the end was good. To go to definitely once a week.
E. T.
Staff was really helpful. The atmosphere was warm and lovely for a dinner for 2 on a Sunday night. Don't hesitate to ask for any suggestions regarding food/wines!
J. Y.
Lovely looking restaurant on a quiet street in the heart of Dublin. Waiter we had was very attentive, but also watched over by all other waiters. The Bruschetta with Tomatoes was so nice and easily big enough for two to have a decent sized starter. The main of Tagliolini with Hereford beef was also great and a nice portion size. Only let down for me was three €27 bottle of red tasted like a cheap bottle of red. Other than that restaurant has a nice atmosphere.
P. Y.
Staff extremely nice and friendly. Good tasty food, feels and tastes homemade. Reasonably priced but tilting into the expensive territory considering how small the portions are - 17eur for a medim size ration of pasta, even if deliciously cooked, is a bit too much
E. F.
Great restaurant. Really good ambiance and décor. Great menu with interesting dishes. Very good service and selection of wines. Whether you want a bottle of wine and some anti pasti to snack on or a proper dinner followed by nice desserts and coffee, this is ideal.
If you like Italian food, you must try this place.
R. L.
Fabulous Italian neighborhood restaurant near Trinity College. Away from the hustle and bustle of Grafton Street, this restaurant sports an authentic menu with all the favorites. Friendly and knowledgeable staff helped us enjoy our dining experience. Wonderful wine selection as wrll.
R. G.
Was there two months ago and very disappointed. All three of our dishes were cold and we had to return them. They offered no apology at all. When we finally got then they were ok, a bit tasteless. We had to ask for the bill three times. At one stage they came to our table then when we started to give our desert choices they just walked away ! Would not recommend. Waiting way to long for our food. Such a pity as it is a lovely cosy restaurant.
A. K.
A beautiful setting with great service. The ravioli was one of our favorite dishes of our trip. Although they should update their online menu to reflect their actual menu.
J. B.
A fabulous meal served by friendly staff. We had a sharing platter of meats & cheeses to start, then I had the pasta special - sausage with cream of leek & potato; my husband had mushroom ravioli. This was all washed down with a bottle of Chianti Classico.
For dessert I had the tiramisu, my husband had ice cream drowned in brandy. He had a cappuccino, and I had the cioccolata calda - very indulgent!
Would definitely recommend!
A. P.
Good honest and authentic Italian food served with a smile and quickly too. Extensive wine list full of Italian rarities. If I was lucky enough to live in Dublin, I can imagine D & C being my "Canteen"
M. C.
This place is amazing! From service to the food! This was my second time here and they knocked it out of the park again! They even saw that my 4yr old son was sad and asked him why he was. My son said "I want toast and jam" I told my son they don't have toast and jam because it's not breakfast time. About 20 mins later they served my son toast and jam. And they don't even have jam that I saw. Absolutely amazing service and a very nice and happy staff.
My lasagna and my wife's ravioli was phenomenal! Best I have ever eaten! Tiramisu was also great as was the garlic bread! Everything was top notch!
L. S.
Fun, tasty Italian food in a packed, lively space. Vaguely Roman-inspired dishes like amatriciana but with a creative twist. Fairly reasonable prices. They had a high chair and were great with our baby.
F. S.
Brunch for 4 people incredibly well priced tasty food. It's more continental than your typical Dublin brunch spot so check the menu before you head out. Spot on service that ticked all the boxes (polite but nor overbearing, fast enough and accommodating) It will surely become a staple spot. I've no idea how this flew under my radar for so long.
R. O.
If you're looking for a romantic or cosy place to eat and or drink look no further! The food is superb as is the abundant array of finely selected wines. The service is a fine balance between professional and friendly. Note! You should book a place in advance as this place is always busy.
J. R.
Another great surprise in Dublin! I loved the cozy space, lots of happy friends and families having fun. You know a place is good when their clients make it even better. The starter - antipasto misto board - was tasty and full of contrasts while the risotto con funghi had the perfect balance with a unique flavor and the right temperature (that makes the whole difference). Staff very polite and well dressed, a great décor, nice food & wine menu, it's surely a place to recommend and go back many times
P. K. P.
Best mushroom ravioli ever 😋 ❤
J. W.
Our party of four had a fantastic experience here tonight. Without a doubt, the best Italian food I've eaten outside of Italy in a long time! Between the four of us, we enjoyed the amatriciana, ravioli, Irish beef filet, a salad, the pesto pot, one of the many cheese board options, a couple of desserts, and a cappuccino. Absolutely everything was on the mark, delicious, beautifully presented, and fresh. Our waitress gave us excellent recommendations and took wonderful care of us. The next time we visit Dublin, we will be back!
M. B.
We booked the restaurant way in advance for a birthday. When we got there, the table was waiting for us, which was good. We started off with a bruschetta and a children's portion of Bolognese, both of which were really tasty! Unfortunately, it all went downhill from there... The mains were very oversalted, the special of the day (gnocchi) was overcooked and the butternut squash sauce was like a sludge that glued everything together while the vegetable focaccia was tasteless, oily, and not baked on the spot. To top it off, after I left I noticed my clothes smelling of food, something I particularly dislike!!! It's a pity, as the service and wine were really good!
M. M.
Overall an okay experience, the food was good, the wine was good, on the down side the seats were very hard and uncomfortable definitely designed to make you want to leave after an hour, the staff were Italian the service was disorganised, it was quite casual so i didn't mind the food being practically thrown on the table. If you want to have a quick meal it may suit you, but not for relaxing on a night out or a romantic meal.
F. T. L.
Oh wow. Incredible place. So great we went twice last week. Will definitely be back again. Food was so fresh and amazing. Staff were incredibly friendly, nice wine selection and very reasonable prices. A must visit.
B. B.
Amazingly helpful wait staff, they were willing to find me a table inside even though they were packed. The gelato I've cream tastes home made. The caramelised fig was great but the chocolate was so dark and wonderfully chocolaty!
C. Ó. C.
The quality of the food and service is just as good as top restaurants in Italy as the family that owns it really love quality produce. Lovely meal there each time. Always really nice experience
D. O. S.
Celebrating our annavetisey had a beautiful meal. The service was outstanding the food was delious. Lively atmosphere well definitely visit again soon.
C. A. O.
Delicious food and excellent staff. Dessert and starter choices are fantastic but main course choices, while of a great standard, wouldn't be hugely accessible. Also, slightly pricey.
P. L.
Hastily arranged lunch for two couples. Food was superb, wine the perfect accompaniment, service faultless and we were left pleasantly alone to enjoy the courses and our extended chat; no pressure whatsoever.
A. A.
Very competent italian restaurant away from the hustle of the city center. Lovely ambiance, friendly Italian staff, and a very varied menu (with oh so many wines). It is slightly expensive for pasta, but food is again quite competent.
S. O. R.
Overall a nice atmosphere and great food.
+Freindly staff
+The interior is very nicely decorated
+Food was delicious
+Good portuon sizes
+Reasonably priced
+We weren't waiting too long for our food (6 people)
-Staff we're rushing even though it wasn't that busy
-The restaurant got quite warm.
G. M.
Excellent as usual. Sat outside under a heat lamp. Bruchetta, Red Vino, spaghetti tomato sauce, followed by desert. What could be nicer.
E. A.
This is a good place and probably among those closer to authentic Italian. The atmosphere is pleasant, it makes you feel tempted to keep ordering wine, since you're surrounded by their own selection with indications of origin. After skimming the menu, I was pleased not to find typical giveaways such as fettuccine Alfredo or chicken pasta LOL. I did not really like the Tuscan fagioli and sausage (the sauce tasted like it came out of a can), but the appetisers and my pals' panzerotti tasted quite good. Would go back if my friends so desire :)
M. T.
Maybe I'm not used to good Italian food, but this place was life changing. Truthfully, we stumbled upon it while looking for somewhere else, but I'm so glad we did. The food is simple and masterful, and very reasonably priced. I hope this place is still there next time I visit, because I'll make a point to come back.
L. E. A.
We booked in advance and were warmly greeted to true Italian hospitality.
We enjoyed the best beef fillet steak in Ireland (charcoal grilled) and perfectly cooked, medium rare as requested. the italian green vegetable ‚cima di rapa‘ was a real surprise (a frequent visitor to Italy I miss it here) and it was deliciously prepared. Dessert ‚Tartufo Nero with Espresso and light whipped cream was delightfully rounding off this most enjoyable dinner. The wine selection is outstanding.
M. O. S.
Lovely food and a nice relaxed air. I simply had a coffee and a desert and stayed reading the paper for an hour. I was not rushed out or hurried, would 100% come back for dinner, and bring friends.
F. S.
One of the best eats that I had in Ireland. Not too expensive and really, truly incredible food. Everything from the bread to the panna cotta was authentic and exquisitely done, AND quick to boot! If you find yourself in Dublin, this is a place to drop some euros.
M. D.
Every time I eat at Dunne & Crescenzi I feel like home: it's a very special place to me. Staff is fully Italian and extremely friendly. Atmosphere is warm and welcoming and food is definitely authentic and delicious. Great selection of wines (I strongly recommend you try a glass of Passito with your dessert).
D. G.
I am leaving this post for the restaurant in dundrum. I have just tried the beef with Parmesan mash potatoes and pesto sauce...unbelievable! Best dish I have eaten for the last 3 years in Dublin.
This dish is a must try in the menu.
P. C.
My wife's grandmother takes us here for lunch after Christmas each year and it's always a great experience. The food is superb and service is pleasant.
R. K.
Cosy local favorite. Lovely but not loud. Great Italian wine selection, we enjoyed all the dishes that we ordered.
B. Q.
Wow. Very very good italian. Great pasta dishes, mains and sweets, and naturally, coffee. One of the best Italians in Ireland I've had
R. W.
Very relaxed atmosphere and excellent food, portions on the big side, watch out. Extensive wine list also, staff very helpful.
K. D.
The best Italian in Dublin. Food never disappoints and always interesting specials. Lovely buzzy atmosphere and great staff. Very good value for money.
J. M.
Fantastic Italian restaurant. The food was absolutely divine. I had the "Salmone affumicato con capperi e caprino" as a started and the portion size was much more than what I expect. My main dish was linguine with prawns and it was perfect.
K. B.
Always a great meal! Lots of options, delicous pasta and salads with wonderful staff. A nice relaxed atmosphere.
L. R.
Very noisy, bill arrived without asking and when we where about to pay the stopped us and brought us a more expensive one. Very bad experience. Most of all, our pasta was not so good as you would expect from such a highly rated restaurant.
M. H.
OK, I haven't eaten here but I'm giving 5 stars for their impressive selection of quality Italian wines. The €10/glass of traditional method brut is a standout.
C. O.
I've been going there since it opened. A cosy and relaxed cafe with friendly, polite staff, good food, good coffee and a huge selection of good wines. Possibly at its cosy finest in foul weather but pleasant to sit outside on a fine summer's evening. They do a very fine prima colazione at a reasonable price.
D. H.
The sandwiches are delicious. The restaurant is clean with a wonderful aesthetic. The staff is really friendly. The best place for lunch during your Dublin visit.
d. g. o. s.
A wonderful Italian addition to the Dublin Restaurant scene. Wonderful food, with excellent Italian staff. Wine isn't bad either! A real gem.
A. J.
Great wine selection and atmosphere! Delicious and authentic Italian food in the heart of Dublin
M. M.
Authentic and highly quality food - have frequented it many times and will continue to do so. Easily the top 3 Italians in Dublin.
J. v. L.
Awesome coffee. Useful central spot for client meetings.
A. L.
Consistently great food. I rarely eat Italian outside of Italy as it’s not usually a good experience but Dunne and crescenzi break this myth with great food, wine and service.
D. S.
Beautiful food, great menu and a great wine selection. Not expensive for what you get. Will definitely be back.
E. R.
Great coffee excellent food

A great experience I would recommend to all, however I went there last December and whatever sauce was used on the steak was horrible, so I would recommend getting the sauce on the side.
I recently had the lamb and it was unbelievable.
