It used to be a great Italian place! Not anymore... the menu has changed and the food is ok. The staff were lovely though. Such a shame! Don't think I would be coming back here.

Riba is a fantastic neighbourhood restaurant. It is lovely to go as a family or as a couple or group. The staff are always so friendly. I love that there is a low staff turnover. The food is lovely. It is all good value also.

We were very pleased with our meal service and the atmosphere in the restaurant. We will certainly go back again in the future. There was a draft coming in from the door when it was opened.

It was my birthday. Leinster had just triumphed in the rugby final, and we were riding high on the kind of euphoria normally reserved for national holidays and new Top Gear episodes. Spirits were high. The rain was higher. It was absolutely lashing – the sort of weather where ducks are having a fantastic day and the rest of us are wondering if it’s time to start building an ark. Enter: Riba, Stillorgan. From the outside, it looks modest. Civilised. The kind of place you expect to serve nice olives and employ people who understand wine beyond "red or white?" But step inside, and it’s like being wrapped in a warm Italian hug. Friendly staff, not an ounce of fuss, and the smell of something delicious lurking in every corner. Now, the food. I started with the squid. Now squid is tricky. Do it wrong and you’re chewing on something that feels like it should be attached to a wetsuit. But here? Tender, delicate, properly seasoned the sort of dish that makes you think, “Yes. This is why we don’t just stay at home with a microwave lasagne.” Next came the Riba burger. Not some sad, over-smashed abomination on a plank of driftwood with a side of hipster shame. No. This was a burger. Thick, juicy, unapologetic. It required two hands, a sturdy jaw, and a deep sense of purpose. Absolutely magnificent. My son had a margherita pizza, which naturally required the ceremonial Dad Tax – a slice for inspection. And it passed. Base with just the right chew, a sauce that could make a grown man weep, and cheese that actually tasted of cheese. My uncle, who normally uses hot sauce like others use aftershave, went for the ’nduja meatballs – proper fiery, rich and meaty. I suspect he wanted to move in. Now, my mother’s coeliac. This usually results in a game of “guess which dish won’t make her ill”. But Riba? Not only did they cater for her, they nailed it. The risotto was velvety, fragrant, and entirely gluten-free without making a song and dance about it. To finish, cappuccinos, Irish coffees, and a gelato selection that looked like it had been assembled by someone with a PhD in indulgence. And yes, the birthday candle arrived. With a chorus. Possibly the cheesiest moment of the day – and I loved every second of it. In conclusion: Riba is one of those rare places where everything just works. Rain outside? Who cares. Rugby victory or not, the food alone could turn any day into a celebration. It’s unpretentious, deeply satisfying, and joyously Italian – the kind of restaurant that reminds you why we go out to eat in the first place. No score. No stars. Just go.

Local neighbourhood restaurant which delivers 5* food and service all the time. Great menu with lots of choice, good buzzy vibe and fabulous food with a lovely wine menu. Eaten here many times and still a firm favourite. Reasonably priced too.

09/07/2025: We celebrated our 30th anniversary. We had a cozy table just the two of Us. This was our last night in Ireland. The staff was extremely friendly and polite. The food was phenomenal, outstanding. The staff even surprised us with our desserts. The next time we're in Ireland we will definitely be coming back. I highly recommend this restaurant.
06/07/2025: Food was absolutely fabulous would highly recommend! Food approx 25-35, wine quite expensive... 170 for 2 mains with two bottles of wine but worth it

17/07/2025: Was a tasty meal with work colleagues. Really nice interior. Old style. Food was good but I felt a bit over priced for what you got. Bread we got at the start was cold and tasted a bit old. Would have been nice to have it warm from the oven. Simple to do and would be lovely. The butter they provide tastes a bit like margarine. Pity. Steak was very nice and played very well but the fries were a bit generic for €48 quid. Not hand cut triple fried chips or something posh. Just looked like from a bag. No cracked sea salt or something to jazz up the chips. Just felt like a cop out to be honest. Starters were also tasty but lacking seasoning and depth of flavour. The wagu tartare was a bit thickly cut for a tartare. With some sinew as the silverside on the meat wasn't trimmed correctly. No egg yoke on top to mix through to get it all gooey. Was lacking a bit in flavour. No umph. The monkfish starter was very tasty but the fish was over cooked. The sauce and corn was really nice though. Had the wild sea bass. Again the fish was dry. Over cooked. But I didnt return it. The saurgo addition was flavourless. White wine pinot was delicious. Didn't have dessert. Service was good. Waitress was attentive and friendly. Music in the restaurant wasn't in keeping with the ambiance I felt. It was like a Playlist of some sorts with country and western and modern indie. Johnny cash ring of fire leading into females are much more deadly than the males and other songs of equal ilk and different ecclectic genres . But each to their own I guess. It's mentioned on the bib gourmond but needs work in my opinion on the flavours and especially on over cooking the fish. Plating was very well done for the most part.
12/07/2025: We stumbled upon this jewel of a restaurant and intrigued by the menu we booked for that evening. Well what a gastronomical experience. Stunning food, warm welcome and excellent service from Matthias and the team. It made it a very special evening!
