Dublin's Oldest
Italian Restaurant
✻To all our wonderful customers:
Hi We’re closed again due to Covid. We’ll open again as soon as possible.
NOTE: WE WILL BE OPERATING OUR NEW HEPA/UV FILTER UNITS TO INCREASE YOUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OUR OPERATIONS. OUR OUTSIDE HEATED TERRACE IS ALSO AVAILABLE.
Thanks from all the team for your support over the past few weeks and months. Stay safe & healthy!
Our new pizza oven is up and running. Why not try one for a quick tasty lunch.
Safety is paramount and we will be making the most of our terrace and open areas on the laneway to create a safe space for customers. We’re also fortunate to have the indoor space for safe dining.
Looking forward to seeing you all again.
Check our Christmas Menus here
Our 2020 Christmas menus are packed with dishes that let you enjoy the best of Italian slow cooking and fresh seasonal products with a few our own twists. Hearty warm dishes using the best ingredients. We’ve put a lot of thought into creating an exciting offering with a wonderful selection of dishes to meet all tastes.
All of this is matched by an exciting range of Italian and international wines and the best selection of Antinori Tuscan wines in Dublin.
If you’ve more time to relax or are heading out for the evening sample our 2 and 3 course set lunch and pre-theatre menu featuring our selection of our favourite dishes.
This customer review says it all: “I love everything about this restaurant a great atmosphere, excellent quality of the food and a fantastic staff. I recommend it 100%”. Or this one :
“This is a delightful restaurant tucked away a little and off the main road (always a bonus!). We were greeted on the main road by a fabulous guy (76 years old, he told us!) who showed us his photo album of him with many famous people. What a character! This just added to our dining experience! We were lucky enough to eat outside. Food and service was second to none. Would highly recommend anything on the menu. We had quite a large selection and it was all excellent”.
And for groups and events here’s a recent review “.. we had an after-civil-ceremony-wedding lunch and all I can say is that we had a great time! Valentina was very kind and patient with dealing with all of my questions regarding the reservation, table decoration and surprise cake for newly wedded couple. Graziano – the Manager and Gianni were very professional, patient and kind; always making sure we had everything we needed throughout the lunch, frequently checking back and paying attention to details at our table. Congratulations to The Chef – the food was amazing! It was our first time in that restaurant, but definitely not last! Looking forward to visit them again! Thank you all for making my best friends day even more special than it already was!
