La Dolce Italia in Dublin

I visited the restaurant three times, and it was always packed. When I finally managed to snag a seat, I thought, “I hope it lives up to my expectations—because when you crave something so much, you’re often disappointed.” And it did not disappoint—it was simply delicious! The restaurant specializes in pasta, so you can expect nothing less than fresh, flavorful dishes, complemented by outstanding service and a friendly staff. The interior is charming, featuring an open kitchen at the entrance and a cozy dining area in the back. The only minor critique was that I would have enjoyed some cheese on the onion soup, but aside from that, everything was perfect.

Real nice pasta in the area! Would love if they are open for lunch more often though, also would be amazing to have larger portions

We had lunch today and it was just lovely. We got a warm welcome from the lovely Giovanni and wired our way through three courses, one nicer than the next! We had burrata and also raw artichoke with a delicious dressing. It was sharp and crisp. My partner had black tagliatelle with a tasty sauce and I had escalopes of veal and roast potatoes and salad, also delicious. Pears in red wine for me and cannoli for my love and we were well and truly replete! Well done La Dolce Italia - you are superstars!

Absolutely the best authentic Italian experience in Dunlaoghaire. Food was excellent, service excellent, wine and beer excellent. Can't wait to go back.

Best italian in Dublin. Trust me

Absolutely incredible place! Top tier food and service, I'll be back many times! Happy to have found this gem

Great fresh pasta. The restaurant has a very homely feel to it, coupled with the comforting food makes it an ideal spot for a relaxing meal out. Can't wait to come back!

Great place, very good service and atmosphere. And most importantly good food.

All dishes were amazing. Attentive service. Good vibe in the restaurant though I feel like it's quite a small place. Definitely not a cheap restaurant though

Don't be put off by the unpretentious and unprepossessing premises, this place is fantastic. Each of my 3 courses was exquisite - nothing too over-complicated or fancy, just classic Italian food, well-presented and absolutely delicious. Pairing prawn with mushroom for the main pasta was an interesting twist but it worked well, and the poached pear was divine. Interesting drinks list too - including an unfiltered beer from Sardinia.
