    The waitress was very kind and helpful. Gnocchi caccio e pepe and the lamb were very good, the wine Brunello di Montalcino 2017 matched perfectly and was at a very fair price. We hoped to order a Grappa barricata with our coffee , but it was not available.

    hi Evelyn thanks for your visit and for your 4 stars, we are delighted that you enjoyed the food and the wine. It s true that good few of our regular items are not back in stock since we did a major refurbishment of the restaurant . We had to stock down as to allow building works to complete and they have literally just finished. The restock of all our favourites and indeed yours has just began. We will be back to " normal " within the next few days. I m sure we will offer one as a complimentary next time you re in ( just let me know ) Apologies if we did not deliver a 5 stars experience this time but we will improve , thx for the opportunity A presto David Izzo

    The Italian sausage starter was delicious, as was the carbonara, which was cooked correctly the Italian way, without cream. We would have liked a bit more pasta in the dish though. The staff were great, we did feel the wait was a little long between starter and mains, despite there being only a few tables full at lunch. That being said, the quality of food was high and we will definitely return for dinner another time.

    Hi Ruth , thanks for your visit and for your 4 stars. It s true that we are a bit slow with steaks ( like in your case) as we dont have them out till the order comes in and especially at quiet times. This lengthens the wait but it s a necessary evil if we want to cook them correctly. We do apologize for the wait and we will try to improve Thank you for the trust in coming back it means the world to us A presto David Izzo

    Fabulous dining experience. Excellent food, great atmosphere and very attentive waiting staff. The kitchen made a slight error with our dinner order and our waiter went above and beyond by providing us with a complimentary bread basket and a limoncello each as an apology. Totally unnecessary but very much appreciated. Will definitely be back again!

    The carbonara and Hugo spritz’s are unmatched, the nicest I’ve ever tasted. The staff are so friendly and helpful, - they make the experience even more enjoyable. Nicest place in Dublin for dinner and drinks!
