01/08/2026: Beautiful building, lovely food!

30/07/2026: We were two couples and one 18 year old celebrating his birthday the other night Sat, 25/07. We all visit the restaurant occasionally so know to expect good quality food and service. This was no different, good food and service as always. What really stood out was the waiter upstairs (where we were seated) I really should have asked his name but never got around to it. His sense of humour and attention to us were brilliant. He made just enough fuss over the birthday boy and even brought a complimentary chocolate brownie with a candle in it over to him after the meal. We really enjoyed our evening there.

Both were delicious. I also got their homemade mint lemonade which packs a flavorful punch. Very satisfied with food and service!

02/07/2026: Here is a polished 4-star review based on your experience: **Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5)** **Great wine spot with a relaxed vibe, though some dishes are a bit hit-or-miss** We recently visited Afianco in Stoneybatter for a night of drinks and small bites. Overall, we had a lovely time and will certainly be back, though we'll probably stick to just the drinks next time around. As a wine bar, their selection is excellent, and we really enjoyed the several wines and drinks we tried. On the food side, it’s definitely focused on small bites. While we understood the concept, the portion sizes were still unexpectedly small. That said, it’s a wine bar, not a full restaurant, so we didn't judge it too harshly on that. The real standout was the eggplant Parmesan—absolutely delicious and the highlight of our night! On the flip side, the tomato plate was a letdown; it felt a bit lacking in both innovation and ingredients while the tiramisu felt a bit dry. The service was good, but very hands-off. The server was friendly and straight-to-the-point whenever we interacted, but they only checked in when we specifically asked for something. There wasn't any communication regarding recommendations or tips on how to get the best experience out of the menu. It wasn't a huge deal for us since we didn't strictly need the guidance, but it definitely would have been a nice touch to elevate the evening. Despite the minor food and service critiques, it's a great local spot. I highly recommend checking this place out for a glass of wine or two!

16/06/2026: Wanted to try this place for a long time and it didn’t disappoint. The food throughout was delicious and really well executed. The service was warm and efficient. The wine list is excellent and some interesting wines you don’t always see on Dublin menus. Can’t wait to go back.
