Service team remembers me and are very friendly. Everything they have, from appetizers, to pastas, to steak, to dessert! They are all fresh, high quality items and meals. This place gets packed everyday for dinner, so try to call or come early to book in advance if you are coming for dinner. I'm addicted to this place!! Like I said; I tried other places but this one tops them all.

While out my friend and I were hoping to grab a meal and while looking up places noticed this…read morerestaurant. We walked over and you can see it was busy and a small restaurant but they luckily had availability and got us a table quickly. Once there we were given break, oil, and vinegar as well as water to enjoy as we looked over our menu. The server recommended a great wine my friend never had and we ordered an appetizer and meal. For the appetizer we ordered: Calamari in crosta and it was honestly one of the best if not best calamari I've had in a long time. It was light, crispy and not oily. Also loved that sauce they paired with it! For the main meal I ordered: Tagliatelle ai frurti de maré e bisque di gamigri Rossi. It was delicious and my friend ordered Tagliatelle al Ragu di cervo Irlandese and she said it was incredible and savored every bite. We didn't order dessert, but would absolutely pop back over when in town. The price was extremely reasonable as well! Lastly the restrooms were clean!

I am not sure which locations some of the reviewers ate at or the time frame they were there, but…read morewe were at The Mayor Street Lower Dublin location for a late dinner and everything was perfect! Granted, seating is a little on the tight side if you have more than 4 to your group, but it was just me and my husband. One review said the place was not inexpensive, but I disagree if you order an entree vs. a starter OR eat at a restaurant in The Temple Bar area. I had the Napoli pizza for 15.50 and my hubby the Ravioli Toscanini for 19.50. We both enjoyed our selections very much. All the staff was very friendly and we did not have to wait long for our order to come to our table. I liked it so much that I will suggest going back there tomorrow night for dinner with our group of 4. Be aware the location we were at closes at 9:00 pm.

It's interior is pretty small but cosy and welcoming with shelves of wine and some typical Italian produce. The menu was slightly limiting regarding starters, as in I couldn't spot them. There was meat and cheese boards, then salads and pizzas but not smaller starters or bruschetta or anything. So we opted to share a pizza and share a cheese board - I am ALL about the cheese! We went for a veggie pizza with roasted peppers and mushroom. Being absolutely obsessed with pizza I had high hopes but it was just ok... too thick for my liking and a but sloppy on top. The cheese board was served with some warm bread and dips and was fab, really couldn't complain about it. Staff were also very helpful and friendly. Wine was good also, 3 options of red and 3 of white priced at approx 7.50. I did spot after ordering on a board that they offered bruschetta ... it just didn't appear on the menu for whatever reason! All in all, a nice enough spot if you are on that side of the bridge, maybe for a glass of wine and some cheese but not somewhere I would rush back to in a hurry for a full meal.

This place shocked me!…read more I found San Lorenzo's via Yelp, so thank you Yelpers! It is one of the few places in Dublin that takes American Express cards. So you can leave home without it when you come here When we asked if they had a table they said only if you are up from the table in an hour. We were hungry so we agreed The environment is dark and tasteful and lively The wine list is not good, but the food and the staff make up for everything The avocado and caprese salad was awesome The shrimp in wine sauce was off the charts delicious The chicken breast wrapped in prosciutto was delicious and the polenta and creamed corn were spectacular The monk fish wrapped in crispy pancetta on a bed of pesto basil was amazing To top it off we had the Nutella cheesecake with Carmel sauce and gelato with biscotti crumbs on top- this was surreal!!! All this and we were done with all the food, a bottle of wine and cappuccinos in an hour and never felt rushed If you are in the mood for Italian food, come to San Lorenzo's

I adore the antipasti plates and love all of the main courses that they have. One of the best I had was a gorgeous fillet steak with parmesan, balsamic vinegar and a side of French beans, for just €8. It was amazing. So the food is just as good, then what's the problem? It just lacks the x-factor that I think the South Frederick Street original has. It's the cluttered-ness, the originality and the authenticity. I just don't think it translated to this location in Sandymount. Almost, but not quite. You still can't fault the fantastic food though and all for a super price tag.
