L.

Good menu options, personally thought it needed a bit more flavor. Service was spotty considering only two tables. Prices good, nice availability pre show.

F. H.

Had 2 different kinds of pasta (lasagna and buffalo mozzarella ravioli) and a salad. Both fantastic. Excellent ingredients, menu looks very good. Not sure what people are trying to prove uploading pictures of delicious and authentic looking pizza/calzone to point out how disgusting it is? Lovely service as well

E. M.

Wished I lived in Dublin. I would be frequently there. Lovely restaurant and super nice ppl. working there. We didn't have a lot to eat, but what we had was fabulous. Will definitely be back.

E. R.

Popped into here today, last minute and it was a great decision. Staff were so pleasant and it was the tastiest Italian food! We were not rushed and left full of bread and pasta, would definitely recommend.

P. K. G.

The food was amazing, especially the Ravioli Toscana. The staff were incredibly nice and topped aromatic evening with my partner off with a complimentary Limoncello (delicious btw) and completely made our night. Would definitely go back!

K. P.

Very good little Italian. Fresh food, good quality price. Fast service. Happy days

A. S.

Lovely, authentic trattoria. Traditional Italian menu, food was generous and full of flavour. Parlano Italiano là. Lovely warm welcome from the staff. Quick service and reasonable prices.

O. F.

Last minute dinner on a very rainy night. Excellent tagliatelle and prawns, and my friend had a great pizza. Staff very friendly and didn't rush us out even when we were last ones there

a. d.

The porchetta is amazing, good choice of wine great focaccia and the past is made perfectly. A nice treat for a lunchtime at the IFSC

g.

Walked in, staff were nice to fit four of us in. The more I ate the more I enjoyed. In my book the food was real tasty. Thanks.

O. V.

Great service and great pastries,dropped in for a cuppa and a slice of sweetiness. All good all adorable: chocolate cake and tiramisu, tea ordinary and peppermint.

J. F.

Ordered 2 pizzas 18" to take away. It's a decent pizza definitely not the best in Dublin. For some reason the funghi pizza is not as good as you'd expect. It comes with few soggy mushrooms.

A. D.

Consistently good service and excellent food. This place is exactly what you expect from a high quality Italian eatery with casual atmosphere and a chef taking pride in what he does best!

L. G.

I ordered the bruschetta and the Carbonara pasta with Prawns and they were both AMAZING!!!! Best Italian I’ve tasted in Dublin so far!

D. D.

Had lunch after my daughters graduation food was delicious and staff brilliant would go again

S. G.

Fantastic place, nice people, amazing food. The best food I found in Dublin. No hesitate. Just go and try. Simone

R. M.

Great place to have dinner. Pizza and pasta were great, service was excellent too! Pasta treated freshly made.

j. j.

glad they are open love this place the carbonara pizza is amazing.

l. s.

Love this place! Very warm welcome by all staff when you arrive into a small but cosy humble restaurant. They have the most delicious truffle pasta dish that can't be beaten in Dublin, pizzas are delicious and keep an eye out for other special dishes of the day. The place is a gem in tbe IFSC.

I. D.

Small but cosy. Food was very nice and good service.

M. D.

Amazing Italian pasta and tiramisu! Very cozy place as well. Will definitely visit again!

L. L.

N. O.

Very authentic Italian with great prices...and better than Milano's by a lot!!!

M. L.

Always enjoy this Italian restaurant 😊, staff very friendly and food very authentic Italian 👍

A. A.

Great pizza and pasta in this lively laid back place. Outdoor dining only till july21 but worth a visit

S. M.

Awesome! We visited here at about 8.30 on a Thursday evening, and it was buzzing. We were greeted as soon as we entered, and were seated quickly. The two waitresses are incredible, they don't seem to stop moving, and they're still so attentive! I had a Diavola pizza, and it was delicious. Genuinely spicy and tasted so fresh. The others in my party had various pastas, and pretty much inhaled them! I'd recommend this place for people eating alone, or in groups, and it's great for a glass of wine or a coffee too.

E.

OMG pasta of the day is so Good!! And their made on premises, fresh tiramisu is heaven.

C. I. P.

Great food, nice wine, good prices. I am Mexican and I loved the taste of the food.

L. h.

Pizza and wine was nice and a reasonable price

M. H.

Looks good from the outside and is excellent inside too. Unfortunately, our waiter was learning the ropes and we ended up with a large pizza rather than a small pizza. It was excellent. On receiving our bill it transpired that we had another customers bill. Our bill was found and delivered to our table with a muttered apology. The portions are on the large side, so if you are not wanting to eat to much, share. However, be prepared for a withering look when you ask to share.

K. M. (.

Great pizza and staff. The atmosphere is nice, and relaxing.

K. M.

Decent pizza. Nice thin crust. Good ingredients. Staff was friendly too. Didn't rock my world but didn't disappoint either. I will go back and try other memu items to make a more comprehensive review but overall I will probably be going back if I'm in the neighborhood so not a bad effort.

J.

Italian-ran restaurant with delicious pizzas. They offer take out service which is really convenient. Also you can feel the amazing smell of Italian oven cooked when you walk buy and it's just inviting. I go there often and can't recommend it enough!

B. M.

Very great italian food. It was delicious and the staff was very friendly

C. C. O.

Great authentic Italian food. Friendly helpful service!

N. C.

Best pizza in Dublin, love the Diavola.

M.

Very good pizzas, very good people

L. M.

Excellent food, amazing service and good price. Everything in a lovely place.

L. B.

Lovely authentic Italian restaurant with an open kitchen so you can see your food being freshly prepared. Food quality is excellent with some beautiful wines on offer. Definitely recommend.

m. s.

Italy Such an amazing Italian cook and friendly staff. I loved their freshly baked pizza and the Canolo sweet. Would highly recommend for the great Italian flavours.

A. K.

Came here for lunch with a colleague. It was nice and quiet. Food was ok Service was fine, nothing to write home about but certainly couldn't complain. The diavola pizza is the main reason for knocking stars off....it wasn't spicy. It was essentially a very plain, very mild pepperoni pizza.

P. W.

Best Italian restaurant in Dublin. Every day, chef Roberto creates a special meal which I highly recommend you to try. Make sure to book a table on the weekend, since the restaurant has limited space.

H. G.

It was a small and busy Italian restaurant. We had only one course each (one sea bass, one gin soaked salmon and one pork dish for 3 of us), which was plenty. Prices were reasonable and staff were friendly.

E. H.

Great authentic Italian restaurant. Quick service, friendly staff and I'd definitely recommend that you book a table at weekends. Foods are varied and great "daily specials". Would definitely recommend and come back to.

s. m.

Good selection of food and very good quality . A bit too expensive

D. W.

Really really good pizza. Small place, but cost enough and the staff are always smiling and helpful. Some delicious desserts too, definitely worth a visit if you're around the IFSC.

A. B.

Pleasant Italian Cafe beside Luas line down near ny young friends Kellys home. Interesting little menu on this day we only choose snacks and coffee. Quick and friendly staff table service

S. L.

This place serves a fresh pasta with pure and genuine flavours, but there's simply something lacking to warrant the bit high prices of the dishes. It's not bad at all - but I was expecting a lot more.

N. 1.

Lovely staff and food. We had the crapcciosa pizza (not sure how to spell that :) ) it was fresh and tasty. Will definitely come back to try the other dishes.

K. G.

IL Fornaio has couple of locations across Dublin, this one on the north side has a menu of mostly pizzas and meat. Would recommend trying the pepperoni pizza, steak and bruschetta. The deserts are a bit disappointing. Friendly staff and quick service

W. S. M.

The best pizza place in the area, they have a great selection of pastries too. They do collection. Great wine selection. It's the perfect stop if you're heading for a concert in the 3 arena!

L. B.

The food was delicious, very tasty. 4 of us ate here before a concert in 3Arena. Quick service, and very polite, even when asked for take away coffees to keep us warm in the queue. Lol Thank you lads for a lovely meal.

J. M.

Food is bit too greasy to be perfect. Staff is trying to accommodate where they can. Recepies are good italian grubs, will not disappoint in selection. Pizza has really nice dough. Take awat too..

G. P.

If you look for a pizza with original Italian taste, this is your place. Both classics and more original choices, all made with a soft and light base, topped with typical ingredients, served on a wood plate.

N. H.

Nice home made Italian food. Quaint, good wholesome Italian with friendly staff. Seating is limited so beware during busy times. Me likey!

N. K.

The best pizza around

W. P.

Liked the pasta dish I had, didn't like the wine. The restaurant is being redecorated starting 18th of June 2018, look forward to the new look. Currently it doesn't look amazing.

W. F. M.

Cosy Italian restaurant with tasty pastas. The atmosphere is nice with an open kitchen where you can see all the food being made. Definitely will come back.

S.

Fantastic place, gorgeous interior, great location and superb quality authentic Italian dishes. You won't find better quality for this price in Dublin City Centre

P. C.

Love the food and the people !

H.

Best pizza in Dublin. Never disappoints. A little quiet at the weekend due to its financial location in IFSC, but always lively during the week

D. B.

Real Italian restaurant, real Italian pizzaiolo, real italian flavours. I suggest "pizza ai funghi porcini" (porcini are valuable kind of mushrooms). For lunch, I strongly suggest to book in advance

S. D.

Lovely staff, lovely pizza. Recently got the lemoncello bread-cake. Absolutely delicious. The Electra is my favourite pizza here.

F. M.

I went over for lunch, took spaghetti with mussels and prawns and got fully satisfied. It's not inexpensive, but I think the prices are on pair with the meals. I'll be back.

A. O. S.

Service was brilliant. Food was amazing. Reminded us of our holiday in Italy. We will definitely be back if in Dublin again.

J. E.

Nice italian a block away from river Liffey. Small and on the cramped side, but my penne amatriciana were good. Nothing fancy but a decent filling meal for 20€

D. L.

The pizza is good, but the other food (pasta, saltimbocca, etc) are excellent.
