    Fantastic food, especially loved the pizza! Charming place, great service, and perfect for a meal after the Guinness Storehouse.

    This is an extremely small and cosy place. Staff are absolutely fantastic and lovely. It’s just small so be aware of that when you arrive. I felt sorry for the family that arrived with a buggy when we were there. We only had mains and they were fine, my husband ordered the Frutti Di Mare risotto and was given the mushroom one … presumably either a kitchen mistake or the server misheard his order. No worries he entit anyway and we didn’t even mention at the time as they were so busy. My chicken pasta was tasty but the chicken was clearly those frozen chunks and not fresh which was a shame as the sauce and vegetables and pasta were all lovely.

    A lovely ambience and beautifully decorated restaurant, although wait times were quite high, we arrived at 5.30 and did not get our mains until 6.30. The staff are lovely and attentive, but my lasagne was quite bland and had a strange texture. Pasta portions are on the smaller side too. Great selection of wines and drinks at their bar

    We were going to a show in Vicar Street and found this restaurant nearby. We really enjoyed the food here. It was of a very high quality. The price was very reasonable too.
