Little Lane Restaurant
Dublin
11/09/2025: The coffee was good and the service was great. However, these sandwich photos are old and they don't offer hot food in the morning. Unfortunately, it wasn't what I was looking for, but I loved the vibe.
08/09/2025: Hands down the best coffee shop in Galway. I live in Dublin but at the weekend if I’m in Galway I make it my business to stop by here. Great coffee and the staff are friendlier than any business I have ever seen. Cute pink cups as well, and selection of keep cups, hats and socks. Go here :)

Cafe Topolis
Dublin
24/08/2025: We've had a very lovely evening with a group of 4 here. We were seated at a cozy table downstairs and had outstanding service from the beginning to the end. The food was delicious and really good value for the price. Thank you Robin for the lovely time and providing us with all special requests while continously having a good time and laugh with us.
17/08/2025: We booked seats for 4 people 6 days ago and when we arrived last night the table wasn't ready, so not even reserved. We came back after 15 minutes only to be brought downstairs . 10 tables there and nobody there. We were the only 4 people there the whole time we were there... not impressed one bit.. Can't fault the food or the waiters that served us.

Forno 500
Dublin
21/08/2025: The pizzas were fresh, with good, airy dough. The toppings were excellent, but rather sparse. The staff was attentive and friendly. The location is great, right in the middle of the lively neighborhood. The prices are a bit on the high side, but the food quality is decent.
21/08/2025: Good Italian. Prices are relatively high. The restaurant is very small, which is why the noise level is quite high.

The Blind Pig
Dublin
11/09/2025: Cocktails were great, but the staff was rude and non-accommodating making this not a spot worth visiting.
We walked in as a group of 2 and were immediately sat at the bar (great!).
We had a friend coming to meet us as there was an empty barstool beside us, we checked with the bartender and he said no problem (again bartender was great). Within a couple of minutes of our friend sitting down the manager (possibly just some rude employee) told us we could not use the third barstool as it’s reserved for “walk ins”.
It is a terrible experience when you are told you can do something by one employee and then have another come and tell you can’t do the exact same thing in a totally rude and unfriendly manner.
There were two more similarly contradictory situations between employees and us that came of as rude and unwelcoming.
I would not waste your time or money here unless you are in the mood for unkind hospitality.
09/09/2025: We had an amazing time at The Blind Pig. It is truly a speakeasy. The atmosphere and the vibe created is exceptional. The cocktails stood out, every ingredient/note was felt in every sip. Right ingredients used to make every cocktail made. There was also a live singer and at first the song was played so well we thought it's recorded but she was singing live. That was a great experience as well. Food was good too but the cocktails and the atmosphere of the place stood out more for me.

12/08/2025: So sad to

Bellagio
Dublin
23/08/2025: Pizza was amazing.
Linguine seafood was so tasty. Great service. 5 star
16/08/2025: It was my first time in Bellagio, and I will definitely go back if I want to eat out in the area. I will also recommend it to my friends. The red wine we chose (Ripasso) was excellent, and so was the food. Very generous portions for the main courses and the chocolate ice cream was really good (and very reasonably priced).

NoLIta
Dublin
14/09/2025: Service was appalling, was trying to order a drink was asked to move certain area so I did. Then proceeded to get ignored by the bar staff who asked me to move in so I asked why, again because I was “not in the que” even though there was no designated Que here sign. Didn’t get name but very distinct staff member, Round glasses and mullet working upstairs by the smoking area absolutely awful service. All could have been avoided by better communication.
13/09/2025: Great sevice lovely food unreal cocktails and great vibes

Milano
Dublin
05/08/2025: Valeria was super nice and an amazing server! Peak experience!
02/08/2025: Valeria our server is outstanding. We dined here prior to moving into our apartment and her fabulous service and good cheer convinced us that we were moving into the right neighborhood. We have been back multiple times since and have been fortunate to have Valeria as our server. The food and her fellow staff members are as first class as her. We will be back often and encourage you to visit as well.

Pinocchio
Dublin
18/08/2025: Pleins d’espoir pour ce restaurant bien noté nous avons rapidement compris que nous aurions mieux fait de retourner au Dunne and Crescenzi.
Accueil amateur avec vérification de réservation sur un PC bancal sur une pile de livres. Service peu amène, donne toujours l’impression d’être débordé… portion ridicule sur les raviolis, assiettes mal présentées, bruschetta niveau supermarché. Une mauvaise expérience !
14/08/2025: Pizzas très bonnes
Pâtes carbo moyennes
Cocktails au Prosecco très léger
Tiramisu délicieux
Attention le service peut être un peu long

Wood Fire Cafe
Dublin
05/09/2025: I had high hopes for Wood Fire Café, especially with the promise of wood-fired pizza, but sadly, this visit was far from impressive.
Let’s start with the service - it was shockingly poor. After being seated, we waited for over 10 minutes without so much as a menu, bread, or drinks. When we asked about the bread and olives that were served to other tables, the manager stepped in, dismissing us completely. He curtly told us it wasn’t part of the service, despite it being offered to everyone else. We asked to order it, but it never arrived. There’s no excuse for that kind of disregard for customers.
As Ashley Chow put it in her review: “The worst place I have ever been. Not recommended. Very dirty, and the middle-aged man who is working there is very unprofessional. He was very rude to the staff and yelling at them. So disappointed with this place.”
This manager’s behavior was not only rude but also incredibly unprofessional. He was seen yelling at the staff, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere for everyone.
As for the pizza - it was a letdown. A wood-fired pizza should have a crisp, slightly charred crust, with toppings that sing in harmony. But this was soggy, cold, and lacked the depth of flavor you’d expect. The dough wasn’t properly cooked, and the cheese? Barely a whisper. It was more like a sad pile of ingredients than anything close to a pizza.
Throughout the meal, I couldn’t shake the feeling that we were unwelcome. The manager made us feel like a burden, and even the server seemed uneasy, likely because of his treatment. It’s clear this café has some serious issues when it comes to customer care.
Wood Fire Café has potential, but with poor service, an unprofessional manager, and subpar food, it’s a hard one to recommend. Hopefully, they take a long, hard look at their approach and turn things around.
27/08/2025: Everything inside restaurant is great. However I'm a rough neighborhood. I suggest if with kids that you eat inside.
