Etto in Dublin

The red wine prunes dessert is one of the best I’ve ever had

Etto was quite a disappointment. The food was OK but not very good. Our table was so dark we couldn't read the menu without phone flashlight. The room was super noisy so that people were shouting. Definitely not a great experience or worth the cost.

My dear partner booked the restaurant to celebrate my birthday. He's a man of few words so I'm writing this review on behalf of both of us as this restaurant truly deserves all the words. I'm going to start by handing well deserved flowers to Miranda who looked after us throughout the night. She was an absolute star and I wish I could hug her again. From recommending the perfect bottle of wine to go with our dinner to wrapping up our dining experience with the most lush dessert recommendation, Miranda truly shone and won us over. Now, coming to the food. My partner's words at the end are a perfect summary, 'perhaps the best food I've had in living memory' and my god was it truly one of the best culinary experiences we've had. Nibbles, starters, mains - there was not one dish that didn't have us absolutely silent, as the flavours exploded in our mouths and our tastes buds had a fiesta. The most phenomenal pairings of ingredients, spices and I truly cannot emphasise enough how much we adored every single dish. It's true what they say that good food can almost teleport you in time and all I need is to close my eyes and I can reminisce about each bite, and my heart doing a little dance of delight. No joke, drooling as I write this. Needless to say, we will be back!! Also, a heartfelt thank you for the team being so accommodating and seating us bearing disability accommodations in mind. Little things like this go such a long way.

Five of us found ourselves unexpectedly needing a place for dinner at 8:00 on a Tuesday night. We walked into Etto and the rearranged their dining room to fit us in. It is a cozy quiet space that welcomes you to dinner. Our service was excellent from beginning to end. The menu and wine list were a challenge deciding what to order because everything looked like something we wanted. We weren't disappointed when the food arrived. It was all cooked to perfection, creative and delicious. The capstone to the evening was the wine list. There were wines from so many unusual parts of the world. We chose a Spanish white from Tenerife that was perfect with our dinners. Wines range from the kinds you know to the adventurous. The prices for dinner and wine were very reasonable especially relative to the quality. This was a great find.

Love this place! It’s a must visit if you are in Dublin! Food is 20/10 - wine 25/10 - service 50/10 Luca was my waiter and he was so charming and attentive! Incredible place

I enjoyed my both nights at this place. Food was excellent, wine was very good, the people working there were nice and attentive. Small place though, with terrace too but inside is small so make a reservation.

This restaurant matches their reviews. From Appetizers to desserts are truly enjoyable. One of our best meals in Ireland.

We went here for lunch on a short visit to Dublin. Place was quiet when we arrived but soon other tables arrived improving the atmosphere. We shared the oyster special with Strawberry granita and they were exceptional. Main we had the beef dish, Hannan’s delmonico which was a generous portion for two and was delicious done rare. Finished with the red wine prunes with mascarpone which was the perfect ending. Big shout out to the waiter, I didn’t catch his name but he was Italian and absolutely made the meal one to remember.

Apparently, this place books quickly 60 days in advance. Only visiting for a day we just chanced it and got in when one of their bookings cancelled last minute. It's a very small place with only about 28 seats so they need to fill every seat to make a decent living. They lived up to their reputation. First course was their gazpacho with melon, a generous topping of olive oil and some other spices. For the main course, I ordered their roasted duck with beetroot puree, beets and some charred leafy vegetable. The smoky combination with their spices and seasoning was delicious. I also ordered a side of their carrots and then their special dessert of the day Rhum a baba. Not overly sweet with a touch of subtle rum. Just the way I like it. Their presentation of this desert could have used a bit more finesse but to was a good sharing portion. We were very lucky to get in and really enjoyed our meal.

The food is very good, and the waitress very helpful and kind. We will come back!
