We ordered two pizzas: the cheese one wasn't to our liking, but the calzone was excellent.

Nice place,lovely food, good service!! Well done!! Will be back!!

A very high-quality Italian restaurant with excellent cuisine. Very attentive and fast service – we were constantly asked if we were satisfied or if we needed anything. Beautiful interior and a good central location in the Temple Bar district. The food was truly delicious.

We stopped for pizza, finding excellent quality products (both pizza and desserts) and prices in line with the rest of the city. The Italian staff makes you feel at ease with their warmth and friendliness. Special mention for the tiramisu, plentiful and delicious. Definitely recommended if you want to combine Irish food with Italian food, and reminisce about the flavors of home. 👍🏼

Was mid-afternoon when we were there and quite quiet. The food was delicious and the staff very friendly and helpful. By the time we were leaving the restaurant was filling up very quickly. Would highly recommend 👌

Four of us had dinner, some pasta dishes and a lasagna dish. I would say all of our dishes were good. but very average. Needed a bit more flavor, not a large serving and salad not included.

Conosco questo ristorante fin dalla sua precedente sede a ranelagh, e l’ho sempre considerato sopravvalutato. Pur godendo di buona fama nella comunità italofila di questa città, lo trovo un po’ scontato e grossolano. Sinceramente, a questo prezzo conviene fare un salto a Roma e mangiare una carbonara fatta bene. Se si trova un volo a buon prezzo, conviene senz’altro.
