Sprezzatura in Dublin

Good food, excellent value for money. Nice wine. Fast casual kind of service, not for a big or fancy dinner, but perfect for catching up with friends.

Had reservations for our last night in Dublin. Walked over from our hotel and had a great meal. All of our food was good, especially the arancini and bruschetta. Would recommend Sprezzatura if you're in the area and looking for a good Italian meal with lots of vegetarian options.

Great authentic Italian food nice friendly staff will definitely come back

Very cosy place! Staff is nice and friendly! I'm not a pasta fan, to be honest, but the food is really great. The dishes seem to be prepared carefully and with fine ingredients! Delicious food and low prices! I totally will be back and I've already recommended it to my friends.

Tasty wine, good mix of apps, seating a bit tight. Were a bit rushed, told we had 90 mins to eat even though we made the reservation a week ahead of time.

Simple Italian dishes done really well, feels very authentic

Yummy food (esp the pesto gnocchi). Really friendly service. Casual in a good way. Atmosphere is fine. Not elegant. Good value.

Great relationship quality-price.

One of the best value and closest you can get in Italian. Servings are solo portions, will fill you enough, and doesnt overwhelm you. Their Cacio e pepe and carbonara are one of the best in town. Focaccia's abit underwhelming, but over all good. Restaurant's black/dark theme has a gothic vibe. Parking's not an issue. Their tiramisu is to die for, best tiramisu in town, and affogato comes with good espresso. For the value and taste, ill go back.

This place is hopping so you will need a reservation. We found the menu to be very small and the food was OK. Portions seemed to vary from plate to plate which I found odd. We would see the same pasta dish go by several times and one plate would be overflowing and the other would have about half the amount. I ordered the pasta with clams which was a bit gloppy with too much butter/oil and the amount of pasta was sparse. Add to that, about half of the clams were unopened. I don't understand why a chef would put unopened clams on a plate - they are not edible. Maybe if you have lots of clams one or two will sneak in, but this plate had about 10 clams and 4 were unopened. I mentioned this to the manager...not expecting anything...and he immediately said he would take the dish off our bill, offered us a round of drinks and a dessert on the house. I thought this was very generous (we didn't take him up on the drinks or dessert) but a bit over the top for 4 unopened clams. He did say that their kitchen was slammed and that unopened clams should never be served. I get the place was full...but it's not all that big and they're just serving a few different pastas. Anyway...the food was OK but the kitchen is inconsistent from what I could see.
