Al Vesuvio in Dublin

I’ve been going to Al Vesuvio for years, and it used to be one of my favourite Italian restaurants in Dublin (I’m Italian). Unfortunately, the quality has consistently declined recently, and my most recent visit was very disappointing. The pasta arrived lukewarm, the tiramisù was mostly cream, the cappuccino wasn’t good, and the portions felt very small for the price. It’s a real pity, because the venue and atmosphere are genuinely lovely. But after this experience, I wouldn't recommend it.

Perfect. Thank you. Really very good. Very fresh ☺️

Fantastic staff who served us and we ate a wonderful Italian meal

I ate here on 4th November. The restaurant is hidden away and has a nice ambiance. I ordered the margarita pizza and it was delicious, as was the tiramisu for dessert. Worth checking out if you’re in the area. The staff were very attentive.

Beautiful and amazing and delicious! We had such a wonderful time here! Thanks Geraldo for the service!

amazing food and so nice and friendly staff! i loved that it was a very cute and intimate place

The service was good and the style of the restaurant is pleasant, but the pizzas were poor. Particularly the four cheese, which was basically just a margarita, with lots of tomato sauce, mozzarella, and one or two small pieces of other cheeses. It looked the same as the porchetta pizza, but without the meat. Homemade chocolate cake was nice.

Great little place in an old wine cellar. Food was excellent (best pizza we have ever had) and the service was just as attentive as necessary. Staff were welcoming and friendly even just a bit over an hour and half before closing.

Awesome place, food was awesome!

My favourite spot in town. The food is top quality and authentic, some of the tastiest in Dublin. The staff are welcoming, attentive, and generous, even once giving my friends and I a complimentary limoncello shot after our meal, something I haven’t been offered in any other restaurant in Ireland. I’d highly recommend this spot for dates or family occasions, every time I visit is a uniquely special experience.
