Our favorite place in Dun Laoghaire 😊

A most delicious lunch. Attentive and friendly staff.

Very nice place with a beautiful view overlooking the Dun Laoghaire piers.

Excelent service and food, the staff is super good and the pizza here is amazing i would recomend this place to everyone. Not expencive either.

Breakfast was included with our stay at Haddington House. Everything was perfect; perfect view of the ocean, perfect and friendly service and the food was also exceptional.

We were staying in Haddington House so we naturally decided to have dinner at Oliveto’s. The surroundings were very pleasant, the menu had good variety (but not to the degree that you couldn’t decide what you wanted or that everything was going to be frozen and reheated) and it was very reasonably priced. My partner had the Arrabbiata whilst I had the Prawn Longuine. Delicious, simple and no scrimping on the prawns. The waitress was alright, nothing memorable. My main gripe was that a 10% service charge was added to the bill. This was non-negotiable. I CANNOT stand restaurants doing this. It’s a new thing that’s appeared in the last few years across Irish restaurants and is extremely American. There was a small piece of text at the bottom of the menu, to reassure patrons that all of the service charge went directly to the staff. Well, yes I’d like to think so? Isn’t that where tips are supposed to go? Overall everything was excellent or very good, apart from this. That’s why I’m removing one star. It’s a very bad way to tout for extra cash.

We stayed in the Haddington House Hotel (adjoining) for four nights and on two of those we had dinner in this restaurant. The first of those occasions we had booked in advance owing to its proximity and following our experience, we booked to also have dinner on the last night. Our decision to return was despite experiencing rather excessive noise from the crowded dining room during our first visit, but it was also heavily influenced by the excellent service and high-quality cuisine. Our second visit did not disappoint in any manner whatsoever and hence we would very much recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting nearby.
