Good spot for coffee and italian pastries and treats. Service can be hit and miss. Don’t order a vermouth here… the server had no idea what it was and when they did they charged €10 for a basic martini rossi (it’s €8 in the Shelbourne for the far better carpano antica).

I’ve been to Il Fornaio on Dawson Street a good few times now, and it’s always been brilliant. The food is consistently delicious, and the drinks are great too.
The staff are what really make the place though—everyone is so friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making you feel at home from the moment you walk in. Fantastic service every time. Definitely one of my favourite spots in Dublin. Highly recommend!

Came here with a few friends for some spritzes and had such a great time.
We were looked after by Anda, and she was honestly so lovely.
She made us amazing spritzes, was really friendly, attentive, and had such a positive attitude the whole time.
Great drinks, great atmosphere, and even better service.

The food was absolutely delicious, the pizza had a thick crust with a crunchy crust, paired with the tomato base and mozzarella was fantastic. Well worth to pop in.

Enjoyed lunch at this small restaurant. The portion was great, not too full to continue exploring museums. Everything was fresh and delicious.
