    We had a table for four in the basement of the restaurant. The food was excellent, from a simple and very tasty pasta dish to more sophisticated fare. Staff were friendly and efficient. Cost for three starters , four mains and a bottle of wine was €56 each including tip.

    So good! The ambience is great and the food is amazing. It’s over in the Temple Bar area, it can be hard to find - look across from Urban Outfitters.

    Excellent food- Best Italian in Dublin for your vegan menu. Each course was delicious 10/10 for taste, flavour and quality. Wines were superb and a huge thank you for serving a decent size glass of wine 🍷 . Superb all round and great service and value for money. My new favourite restaurant in Dublin. Thank you.

    Absolutely wonderful dining experience, we would highly recommend. Staff were attentive and went above and beyond to met any requests and help us to celebrate a birthday. The choice of food was great, the food came out quick and it tasted amazing! We had puddings too which were a good size and were delicious. We can’t wait to return to Dublin to come back to the restaurant.
