Osteria 99
Dublin
13/04/2025: The Best Italian Restaurant in Dùn Laoghaire
18/02/2025: WOW! What’s not to like. Myself and partner were passing through Monkstown early Sunday evening and spotted Osteria…not going to lie the name and message on the chalkboard drew us in. We love to happen upon gems like this one. And we were not disappointed, a warm welcome by Mr Long into a beautiful and charming restaurant. The early bird menu runs til closing and the la carte is extensive, excellent choices of wines, beers & cocktails from a delightful bar. Several locals came arrived after us and it’s easy to see why they choose Osteria as their favourite restaurant. Food was devine, that home cooked taste and we left not a morsel. 3 courses each, bottle of Pelegrino and two fine glasses of Merlot came in at €90. We love to dine out and agreed Osteria 99 is by far the best new addition to our favourite restaurants, food was well presented and flavourful, cooked to perfection and the addition of a tasty pre-appetiser was lovely, and despite being from north county Dublin we will 100% be back with friends very soon. Thanks Mr Long & team.

Gino's
Dublin
06/05/2025: I totally recommend this place to buy your gelato I had a cone of Lindt Lindor and it was soooo delicious, really chocolatey and rich 😍 plus it’s close to the Stephen’s green park, so you can grab your gelato and enjoy it there :)
Sometimes the queue it’s really long but the staff it’s pretty quiet, anyways it won’t take that much time to wait :)
05/05/2025: I loved the experience, delicious gelato! My wife and I were served by Eyuphan who was very courteous.

Toscana

28/04/2025: One of my favorite Italian restaurants. Perfect location and if it's sunny it's the perfect place to stop for an aperol spritz and pizza/pasta.
The pizzas are great and the staff is always super nice.
27/04/2025: Great food and service. Thanks so much!

Benito's
Dublin
27/04/2025: I had the chance to have dinner there the other day, and I must say, it’s a nice place. I had the pasta, the chicken, and a glass of wine — overall, a good experience. That said, it could have been elevated a bit. I didn’t receive the bread, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar that you usually get at Italian restaurants. Still, it’s a decent spot.
23/04/2025: The place was quite empty but put the 3 of us at a table on uts own with the toilet door right next yo our table, they dont do cider anymore which my daughter only drinks and they don't do Savigion Blanc wine which us what I drink which was very disappointing, food was lovely.

Piglet
Dublin
11/05/2025: The best Tartare in Dublin! Had lunch here on Friday and truly enjoyed the service and food! We started with the charcuterie board and moved into the tartare. I’m already itching to go back! Thanks to the team- you were superb,friendly and attentive.
22/04/2025: Second visit to this wonderful restaurant, recommended by a French friend—and it did not disappoint! Piglet Wine Bar serves the best steak in town, hands down. The hospitality from Thibaut was exceptional—he is an absolute star and made our dining experience truly memorable. Looking forward to coming back again and again!

Zero Zero
Dublin
18/05/2025: We went as a large group who booked out the upstairs. The food was delicious and the staff were great! Would definitely recommend!
18/05/2025: Waited over an hour for delivery and 20 minutes over the ETA. Pizza arrived not sliced - at €17 a 12' pizza i thought this was really lazy. Pizza tasted good but the artisan pizza with walnuts and pomagranets had about 7 bits of wanut and literally 10 pomagranets bits on it-a bit measly-not quite the texture, flavor pops i had hoped for.

Romayo's Balally
Dublin
20/05/2025: It was recently upgraded to a diner. Always clean and everything is new. When I'm down on my luck on a rainy afternoon I like to treat myself and eat in at Romayos Balally. The atmosphere is perfect because they play radio Nova and the lads are so welcoming and polite.
The staff at Romayos Balally are a credit to your business. I've been there twice since the new year to sit in with a 10" Margarita Pizza and they always bring me a little extra portion of chips and say "it's on the house". I guess they are the old chips that were not fit to sell but it still warms my soul to be shown their kindness and I always enjoy the gesture and the chips.
I love your little diner on a rainy day. its so close at hand as I live in the estate next door. Tasty food is one thing but hospitality is what makes five stars. Thank you and well done.

Il Fornaio
Dublin
11/05/2025: Pizza was decent, good toppings but crust was undercooked and dough was super bland. The place is small but welcoming. If they improve the pizza quality, it'll definitely be worth the money, otherwise, not.
05/05/2025: So, sour carbonara, bacon, it didn't have much of a flavor and it wasn't close to carbonara, so I don't recommend this dish at all.

Luigi Malones
Dublin
08/04/2025: Came for lunchtime. Staff were friendly and attentive. Atmosphere was great and delicious food!
04/04/2025: Had a birthday dinner here and experience wasn’t good.
Food was meh, waitress was a bit rude, orders were mixed up even though it was all double checked after making the order.
The pizza was ok but no one liked the carbonara. When asked about the food we didn’t like the carbonara and were being asked why we didn’t like until the very last minute we were, not very comfortable for us.
Don’t really recommend this place.

Basil
Dublin
04/05/2025: I love this restaurant. Delicious sandwiches and soup. Lovely staff. Great spot
04/05/2025: I read the recent review, and it's not accurate. He is not the owner, but he is connected to the owners. He is a very elderly man who was bothered by people sitting with laptops, and he happened to be there and commented on it. This should be seen for what it is — an elderly person making a remark, nothing more.
The actual owners of the café are extremely kind, always helpful, and make sure customers are comfortable. The place has excellent service, a pleasant atmosphere, delicious food, and very fair prices.
The owners themselves were not present at the time, but someone affiliated with them was there. He calmed the elderly man, even helped me with electricity, and apologized on his behalf.
There’s no reason to boycott a place that genuinely works hard to make everyone happy, provides jobs, and supports the local economy. Just because of one incident involving an elderly person, it’s not worth dismissing the bigger picture. People — and especially older people — sometimes make comments. It’s nothing to get upset about.
I promise you, if you come and meet the owners, they’ll tell you the same thing.
I’ll definitely will keep coming. As regulars we should respect everyone. And when it’s come down to elderly, we should sometimes listen with our hearts and not just with our ears. Have a great day. 🙏🏽

Sandbar
Dublin
19/05/2025: Disappointing Experience at Sanda Mediterranean
I rarely write reviews, but I felt it was important to share what we witnessed during our visit. A very polite and lovely man approached the restaurant to place an order, and instead of being greeted kindly, he was treated very rudely by the manager. When he asked if he could sit outside, the manager responded dismissively, asking where he was sitting. The man pointed outside where the man's wife was sitting but the manager immediately said, “No, you’re not,” claiming the seat was reserved for Mick.
When the man asked if they could sit inside instead, the manager again refused, saying the table was reserved for someone else, and then laughed at him. Even the staff seemed shocked by this behavior and asked why the reserved signs weren’t put on the tables, but the manager just shrugged it off and laughed. The man was left standing there, visibly upset, while the manager went back to chatting with other customers who appeared uncomfortable with what had just happened.
This kind of treatment is unacceptable and unnecessary. We paid for our drinks and decided to leave after witnessing this exchange. The manager or owner should apologize to that man for the way he was spoken to and treated.
Such behavior reflects poorly on the establishment, and I hope it improves for future customers. Sadly, this experience has made us decide not to return.
09/04/2025: Great pizza. Have had pizzas here a few times, the quality of the ingredients is great. The dough is quite thin and yet a bit crunchy, some people might prefer thicker dough but for me it's just perfect.
