    Great authentic Italian food! Staff is super friendly. You can also have a lovely after dinner walk along the canal. Will definitely come back.

    I am extremely disappointed with my experience. I explained that it was a birthday celebration and asked for happy birthday to be put on the dessert. The restaurant was so busy that we were given a table that was for four and they just split it. We had to hand The plates over the head of other customers to the waiters and the dessert came out without my Happy Birthday request. This restaurant focus seems to be on taking in as many people as possible and not caring about the quality of service and customer experience.

    I Monelli is very atmospheric, and used to be a much better place to dine. On this occasion, the service was chaotic and disorganised, and the dishes, particularly the main courses, sea bass (reluctantly filleted) and chicken in a mushroom cream sauce, were nowhere near the standard you would expect in a Dublin restaurant in its price category. We were hungry but neither of us cleared our plates. Perhaps the experience would have been better if we had stuck to pasta?

    Nice restaurant with friendly and professional staff. Good wine list. Had Xmas menu so options were limited. In a very quite residential area. Tables over 2 floors. Overall a nice experience.
