La Dolce Italia in Dublin

One of the best Italian Food I’ve ever had, I really loved how it had such a homemade vibe which made me feel really happy. Such an amazing staff and service and the atmosphere is impeccable. I strongly recommend if you are looking for Italian food in Dublin, this should be at the top of your list.

The vegetarian ravioli I have had so far.

Top class restaurant and a hidden gem in Dun Laoghaire. There is a certain charm about walking through the kitchen to the dining area. Each of the waiters were very attentive and friendly. The food was delicious and very well valued. Great service from start to finish. Can’t wait to visit again!

What a hidden gem in Dun Laoghaire! I found a spot in their beautiful open garden, with a deck adorned in lush wine vines draping the ceiling. I started with the bruschetta—four pieces of toasted sourdough topped with fresh cherry tomatoes, a rich balsamic and olive oil dressing, and a touch of garlic oil. Absolutely delicious! For my main, I chose the pumpkin-stuffed ravioli in a creamy cheese sauce that was just perfection. I finished with a decadent dessert: a chocolate brownie slice with a scoop of gelato and a wine reduction drizzle. An incredible place for authentic Italian flavors—a must-try!

Amazing from start to finish! Staff were so friendly and welcoming, food all freshly made, couldn't fault a thing! Had the pasta special and it was delicious, best meal in Dublin. Will be back! Thank you!

I loved the whole experience. Delicious food and very attentive staff. The space is super cozy, especially the outdoor area (too cute). Typical Italian menu and well served dishes. I will definitely be back soon.

Carbonara was by far the best pasta, and probably the best food i ever had. Bruschetta starters were warm, crispy and delicious. The seafood/mushroom pasta was also great, however the carbonara outshined it by far in my opinion. Dessert was also amazing. I will be dreaming about that carbonara for years 😍

A delight evening with excellent food. We shared the antipasto starter between three. For mains we had two pasta dishes and the veal special. The veal was the standout dish, wrapped in Parma ham and bursting with flavour. The chicken cannelloni, and prawn spaghetti dish were also both very good. To finish, a tiramisu and espressos all round. Paired with a nice bottle of Merlot this was a lovely meal in a restaurant that has a nice Italian trattoria vibe.

I'm surprised I hadn't found this restaurant before! It's a small little Italian up a side street in Dun Laoighre. I don't tend eat much at Italian restaurants in Ireland but the food was very authentic with home made pastas and rich sauces, and was absolutely delicious! The dessert special of baked lemon cheesecake was just yummy. We came for lunch when the restaurant was a bit quieter as we had a baby with us. The service is very friendly, we had a buggy and everyone helped to accommodate us. I'm looking forward to coming back for dinner when I can get a babysitter!

A very small restaurant with excellent food, but it is pricey..the staff are lovely and very attentive. Book ahead as it's very busy
