The Hot Donut in Dublin

22/11/2025: We went on a special occasion, our 16th anniversary, and to be honest was a disappointment. We arrived and the place was very cold, it was a rainy day, heaters were off and people were wearing their jackets. Noticed heater was turned on only much time later. It doesn't feel like a restaurant more like a fast food chain, staff didn't really pay attention, they just seemed all in a hurry to do everything, you feel the pressure to make your order. My husband got the gnocchi and I got the fennel ragu. My pasta was ok, the gnocchi was very blandz it was supposed to be the mushroom but there were none. And gnocchi portion is very small. For starter we took arancini and the bruschetta. When you order a bruschetta you think it might come maybe three small pieces, it's a bruschetta but no, it comes only one small slice of bread for 8 euros, super overpriced. In the end not a very nice experience, not coming back and can't recommend.

20/11/2025: Sprezzatura is a great spot. Super close to Camden area, with a nice quieter atmosphere. They have gluten free pasta, and can adapt most of their dishes. This is my second time here, and both have been enjoyable. The staff are lovely and service has always been great.
