    Honestly the best restaurant experience we have had in a long time. There was 1 particular waiter who was amazing but I have forgotten his name. Usually waiters ignore kids especially when they are moaning but he made our night and interacted with her and she loved it and barely caused a fuss during dinner because of it ! What a true blessing to have him on your staff. A special mention to the chefs on the food, everyone on our table loved every dish that arrived. Well done and keep up the great work, will definitely be back, all the staff members were lovely ! 🙂

    Lovely Service. Had to come back for the Amatriciana- best Italian dish I’ve had in Dublin and probably a new found favorite from me. Will be coming back again.

    Absolutely wonderful place for a nice meal, authentic Italian fare, accommodated gluten free for one meal and you would never know. Prices are fair for the quality of food and service. Will definitely return!
