The best restaurantsof italian in Dublin

09/11/2025: Had a great experienced with that team highly appreciate their efforts must try

05/11/2025: Visited this local restaurant for a special occasion but it was a disappointing experience for our party. One of our servers, to perhaps prove her apathy, was chewing gum. The restaurant was not overly busy so there was no pressure on the staff but at one point she slammed a bottle of water on the table so hard that one of us jumped. It did not register with her at all. In relation to the food there were a few issues but the main one was with the fish (hake), listed as lightly breaded. Instead, it was mostly batter with very little fish and it cost almost €30! If we had wanted Donegal Catch we could have gone to Tesco. Overall our group felt like The Temple Grill really just couldn't care less.

07/11/2025: The breakfast is good, they do great chips and the pepper sauce is excellent, it’s also byob. The chicken is not good, lamb chops and steak is just okay. The owners are very good but some staff can be surly/shite.

07/11/2025: Isla Blair is THE BEST waitress of all time

17/11/2025: I got the latte with my own bottle and the barista just filled it full ❤️❤️🫨❤️❤️Thank you so much and the oat latte is amazing 🩵

16/11/2025: Spectacular place and the service from the owner is exquisite. Highly recommended for breakfast and brunch, especially for their cappuccinos and their variety of sweet and savory options.

09/11/2025: My son favourite ice cream is bumble gum

16/10/2025: Very nice staff and yummy yum yum ice cream

02/12/2025: Getting there via the dart train service is very easy. It is a very short walk from the Sandycove station to the restaurant. The building is old world charming, the staff members were very friendly and helpful. The menu had a great selection to choose from, the wine selection was also surprisingly nice. We enjoyed our meals and most of us selected the salmon - it was very nice. I did ask for mash instead of potato chips but when I saw the potato chips on someone else's plate I regretted the request! Their potato chips were very nicely cooked - crispy on the edges and soft inside. Just perfect. There is parking across the street but due to the one-way access road changes in Dun Laoghaire you can only access that if you are driving south from Dun Laoghaire - not driving up from for example Sandycove. I also have to mention that if you get the table next to the window you have a great ocean view and if the weather behaves, you can also get a clear view of Howth.

12/11/2025: It is always a pleasure to dine here. Polite and welcoming staff, fresh food, great for special occasions. Will be coming back soon

31/10/2025: I came in to have just a hot chocolate with a friend and leave with a mega smile on my face! An excellent service, the team composed of three Brazilians of an excellent service... the girl at the reception very friendly and polite... I highly recommend the place!

26/10/2025: Food arrived warm not hot. Food was packed good but the meals were an MASSIVE let down!! Everything was either burnt or undercooked and soggy with no real taste of anything. Nothing was edible. Will not be eating here again.

28/10/2025: Came here for a work do and all left satisfied! The pizza hit the spot, and cocktails were delish. Would recommend for small groups.

23/10/2025: Pizza is v good. Staff so warm and friendly..
