Il Fornaio in Dublin

Hidden gem in Dublin. Very nice vibe with nicest pasta and prawns I’ve gotten in a long time. Tiramisu was excellent and the team are very friendly

Didn't know this restaurant but called in before a gig and really worth it. Meat & cheese platter followed by pizza. Both were really tasty and great quality. The bread with the platter was gorgeous. We'll definitely go again. If I'm docking points for atmosphere, I'm being tough. I just felt the music was a little too loud and dancey for the style of the restaurant at that time in the evening. Really good value, worth a visit.

Food was lovely but did not feel like value for money, all the coke bottles stored at the windows as you walk up just gives a bad first impression. 4 ravioli was 21e, only chicken dish 26e. They should do an early bird to get more in before shows in the bord gais as is very handy location but we won't be back.

I was impressed by the waitress not using any paper... Until she makes two mistakes in the order. They forgot our starter (but in the end the main courses were big enough, so they actually helped us save money because we wouldn't have finished all that), and mixed up one of the drinks. Nothing crazy. The main courses were good and very nicely made, but ... The piglet for example had been precooked and simply god rewarmed in the Pizza oven. This is not bad, but also not as good as a freshly baked piglet. I had Canollo for dessert and similarly it was okay but definitely not the best I ever had. Lot of care went into what the dessert looks like but more care could have been given to the taste of it. All in all, Great and high standard for Dublin, but would be low standard in Italy. I would happily come back to try the Pizzas, and I would probably go back there if I lived nearby, but there is easy room for progress, and as most of the staff is Italian I would believe they all realise what could be improved to make it a clearly amazing place.

Amazing restaurant couldn’t fault it easy to book on google and great service and food cocktails where delicious and the food unreal the garlic potatoes where amazing and the pizza to die for

The food was amazingly good. Wow, you couldn't have asked for better sauce and taste and flavoursome for a food... the chef and one of the servicing chap explained the chef special of the day and I went with that and it was really good and I enjoyed it. Will come again when I'm around this area.

Pizza was decent, good toppings but crust was undercooked and dough was super bland. The place is small but welcoming. If they improve the pizza quality, it'll definitely be worth the money, otherwise, not.

A small intimate but busy little restsurant great pasta dishes as well as daily specials 😋

Très bonne expérience, restaurant calme et très agréable. Pizzas vraiment plaisantes et les tagliatelles excellentes. Personnel très sympathique et serviable discutant volontiers avec les clients. Nous étions 8 (dont 4 enfants) et c’est notre meilleure expérience sur Dublin. À recommander. Viva Italia ! :-)

Nuestra segunda visita aquí y no decepcionó, el servicio, el saludo y lo importante es que la comida era todo perfecto, amable pero profesional y preciosa comida sabrosa con una gran elección para todos, el entrante de gambas era increíble. Definitivamente volveremos
