28/05/2025: Awesome food.. chatti choru is superb..staff is very friendly

15/04/2025: Great burger last Tuesday. Now...chips are normally amazing and hot and fresh but last Tuesday ye chips I got had clearly been lying around and only warm when received. Not good at all. It's the first and only time out of many that this has happened so I hope they stick to serving freshly fried chips.

02/04/2025: Hungry, passing Casanova in Rathfarnham! Asked sweet young lady serving for bag of chips!Hand on heart, the best Chips I ever bought! Hot! Crispy! Large portion! Discovered...wallet at home. Young Lady "pay when you're passing" ! only left out 5th STAR ...??? really 4.6 !! Tony G

14/05/2025: It was too expensive. It's essentially a scruffy bar, chuck a few expensive whiskeys on the top shelf and wallop let's overcharge people. Shocking.

09/05/2025: Webvisited midday probably not the best of time to visit. The place had character but not for us. Soup and a drink not much change out of €30. The Guinness was good what you'd expect and at €7.50 just about the going rate for a pub in Dublin. Temple bar dearer. Be intresting to see the place at night. The whiskey club they advertise was an interesting concept but oh boy bring your credit card its not cheap.

07/05/2025: Certain staff belittling and bullying other staff, rude towards customers and a snottish face isnt what I expected with my pizza and beer. Typical Eastern European culture.

22/04/2025: I always enjoy pizza 🍕 when it's cooked just right, slightly crisp crust, fresh tomato 🍅, melted cheese, served hot. Independent Pizza truly satisfies! Give them a try! 😉

08/05/2025: Disappointing Carvery beef presented well , but some meat was very tough, that was in it, Yorkshire pudding cremated, roast potatoes definitely cooked in fryer not sure about duck fat, had to ask for soup on the roast of day sandwich, whelich was not sour dough as advertised, if I'm honest it's not busy now, and nobody came near us ask how it was, Would I come again not for the Roasts sorry.

03/05/2025: Nice pub staff are lovely would recommend

08/06/2025: A treasure. A brilliantly run local Italian restaurant with great food and busy, the kind of place that is always full of locals and families. Eating here is a slice of Ranelagh life.

07/06/2025: I usually only leave reviews when an experience is exceptionally good or deeply disappointing—unfortunately, this was the latter. We had a reservation for 6 p.m., and by 6:04, the waiter informed us we’d need to leave by 8. This time limit wasn’t mentioned when I booked. Two of our friends were running slightly late, and we were rushed from the start—pressured to order quickly and constantly nudged along. About half an hour into the meal, a woman who seemed to be one of the managers approached us. While she started out friendly, her tone quickly shifted. She reprimanded me for two people not showing up, saying they had to turn away others because of it. She also criticised our table because one person ordered only a starter and a drink, and another just drinks—something that felt unnecessarily awkward and frankly quite rude. We also asked several times for more sparkling water and still water, but it never arrived. To top things off, we had to pay using two separate card machines—one for the main bill, and another for a 10% service charge, which wasn’t clearly explained and didn’t seem optional. All in all, the experience felt rushed, judgmental, and uncomfortable. Definitely not somewhere I’ll be returning.
