Il Fornaio in Dublin

The food was delicious!! All the choices in the menu seemed to be great, I really recommend the restaurant and certainly would come back there.

Lovely place and the staff was fantastic.

On a rainy day, I was looking for a Carbonara (pasta, my favorite, by the way) and I found this restaurant in my Google Maps search. I didn't expect much, but I was surprised by the lovely pizza. It reminds me of pizza from Brazil. I really recommend it. I will go back to try the pasta next time. P.S. They didn't ask me anything after serving me. Thanks, guys; overall, the experience was excellent 😊 I went back and tried the carbonara pasta. It was delicious 😋, but I prefer the Carbonara Pizza. I tried the pistachio cannoli, and it was lovely. Thanks again ♥️

Loved it. Amazing good, fast service, friendly staff

Our experience at the restaurant was very positive. The food was excellent; I highly recommend the pasta carbonara and the delicious tiramisu. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our visit. We will definitely return, as we were left wanting to try more dishes 😊

Really nice little Italian restaurant in the heart of the docklands. The taste and freshbes of the the food is their to see and taste, will definitely be back!

First of all, service and atmosphere were absolutely fine - above average I would say, so nothing bad on that front. My partner did enjoy their ravioli dish, and that's great, and said they'd definitely come back. However, I cannot say the same. I ordered the slow cooked braised Angus beef and the beef was very dry and chewy. Almost like an overcooked well done steak cooked there and then, rather than a "slow cooked braised beef", which should be very tender and moist. I'm absolutely convinced that the beef I had was cooked there and then, and not braised or slow cooked at all. Perhaps the slow cooked one was not available and they resorted to this second-hand attempt just to get the order out. Shameful, if so. Having cooked slow cooked braised beef dishes for years, there is a world of difference between what I had - which was effectively an overcooked, dry well done steak - and what was advertised on the menu. And this was a €28 dish, too. The potatoes and caramelized onion sauce was tasty, for sure - but the star of the dish was a complete let down, on every level. You have to eat it with an ordinary knife, when really you need a steak knife given how tough and chewy it is. Despite this disappointment, we will come back again to try more of their food. Though I sincerely hope things improve because this restaurant clearly has a lot going for it. If that beef dish is the standard of what is handed to diners, then I would recommend everyone to stay away from it.

some of the best italian food i’ve ever had. i got the ravioli campano & my husband got the carbonara. both of our eyes rolled back from how good the food was. absolutely come here for 10/10 italian food

It's just the food tastes not fresh e.g. lasagne, which is my favourite Italian. It tastes frozen. Otherwise the rest of the meals are very good.

A brilliant, totally authentic and buzzy pizzeria that also does other dishes. It is rare to find ingredients that transported me back to Italy - particularly the guanciale on my Rustica pizza
