Il Fornaio Dawson Street in Dublin

Great coffee. Will be back for more

Coffee and pastries are usually very reliable and it's in a great location on Dawson St. I will mention that on my most recent visit on 27th Jan, around 5 pm, I tried to order a coffee but was informed that they had to turn off the coffee machine early as there were only two staff members working. As I was the only customer in the café, it was genuinely bizarre behaviour from the girl behind the counter. This is not something I've ever experienced there before from the usual staff who work there. Hopefully a one off.

Staff. And Maxs crew you know who you are otimo guys . Always smiles and service you wish all shops and cafés and restaurants would have.. keep up the great work IL Fornaio Never a bad experience

Our go to place for a delicious yet affordable pasta. They have a great variety of pastries particularly cannolis :) Coffee is also divine they also sell their own roasted beans for people that want to have their coffees at home. Their service is superb! Couldn’t commend the staff more very friendly and helpful. Sensational atmosphere! The place might be small, but it has such a great vibe in it.

Had the Carbonara and it was simply the best I have had outside Italy. Chef William killed it on the pasta. Seriously come by and try yourself. It's all freshly made.

Best Carbonara ever! THANKS CHEF WILLIAM

Great coffee, fantastic street view.

Lovely little cafe in the heart of Dawson street, lovely staff and cosy booths in a covered outdoor corridor. Great if you want to sit outside in bad weather!

The sandwiches and the coffee are a must. Definitely give it a go for Macchiatto with Hazelnut.

Nice place and reasonable, outdoor seating was good
