Il Fornaio in Dublin

We only had a chance to visit this place in the morning's before work. Coffee is delicious, both the flat white and the americano. The freshly made croissants are very tasty and light especially the one with pistachio cream. Staff are super friendly and fun. The cafe opens from 7.30am on a week day which is rare for Dublin.

We stumbled across this place by chance and honestly, it's been the best place in Dublin for coffee. The prices are very good considering it's Dublin, the staff are super friendly and helpful, the place is very clean, the pastries are amazing—fluffy and flavorful, the coffee portions are generous, and they have coffee and pastry deals for €6. 11/10, I don't know what more you could ask for.

I ate here 2 times and both times i really enjoyed both the service and the food. I'm italian and i felt like at home again 5 star recommended

The service was perfect, and the pinza was absolutely delicious. The staff are really very kind. I recommend everyone to eat here!!

Amazing staff , thank you for service ! Beautiful and fresh products !

I had a really good carbonara pasta and everyone was very friendly, I recommend it!

Top class Italian pizza and pasta, made fresh in-house right in front of you in the Hibernian Way, by the very friendly Italian staff. The coffee is sumptuous, as are the little dessert treats. And all great value. This place is so good and authentic, it should be called Little Italy!

Food is nice. Nice place all around. Prices are a bit ridiculous for the portion sizes, from a students perspective. Maybe they’re not targeting students. I don’t know and I don’t care really. Still, ridiculous prices for a bag of pasta that weighs less than air, for a dish with ingredients that are virtually the cheapest on shelves. Yah bla bla homemade but even at that 13.50 for a terrible portion it’s not reasonable. As a hole in the wall, road side lunch cafe prices need to make more sense. Might be busier, if they reconsidered pricing to match meal sizes of other vendors nearby. They seem to be quietest on the block. Portioning/price aside, nice place.

Friendly service, great food, authentic atmosphere.

A relaxed cafe with a slightly old-school charm that makes it feel grounded and familiar. The seating is comfortable and encourages you to slow your pace rather than rush through a visit. The atmosphere stays calm throughout the day, making it easy to remain seated for long conversations or quiet personal time without feeling out of place.
