What an incredible hidden Gem at the heart of Newbridge!…read more We've heard about this place from a few of our friends and decided today to check it out. What a check out it's been, my partner started with the Garlic flat bread, Delicious! I myself started with the Prawns in a spicy tomato sauce adorned with tomato & rocket with chilli, incredible. We're about to have our main, my partner has gone for the basic option of Pizza, I will try the Chorizo & chicken breast on a bed of Penne with a spicy sauce! We cannot wait to try more amazing dishes from this establishment in the near future. 100% recommend this restaurant.

They have great starters - my favorite is the grilled vegetables with a light olive oil sprinkling, for main courses they have the traditional Italian fare including a great beef lasagna, they also have other pasta dishes, salads, and also a great steak with pepper sauce. Again in the desserts, pm the 5 pm, you will recognize some great Italian favorites. And of course, they have pizza too. Bear in mind that they are not open on Mondays or Tuesdays and they do not make use of an online booking system so you have to ring them after 5 pm to make a booking (not on a Mon/Tues). Note - the restaurant is one floor up so there is a staircase between, the street level and the restaurant.

5 out of 5 due to several reasons…read more #1: Amazing employees. Maybe it's because its the countryside Irish but as soon you go in you are warmly greeted. You will notice they are all italian which gave me an even more confident my coffee would be amazing. #2: Vegan option: I'm not vegan but they have great vegan option for vegans. But the non-vegan options were delicious as well. The croissant I ordered was buttery, and flaky. The strawberry jam tastes like home made without any added sugar. #3: Affordability: Compared to Dublin, this place is a steal. Finally: A++ go get your coffee and food so you can go walk around Bray or even hike up that mountain.

Cats! Books! Wine! Fresh, authentic Italian food! Owned and staffed by Italians!…read more This little gem, only a couple dozen metres from the Bray DART station, is quaint and cozy. It only holds about 15 people. But the food, coffee, and service is about as good as it gets. These people are passionate about what they do. I come specifically for the awesome vegan Caravaggio sandwich (on ciabatta). Everything is freshly made by them and unlike anything you will get anywhere else. Except maybe Italy! There are usually lots of Italian customers there, speaking Italian. This is a very good sign. The place is full of interesting old books people are free to browse. A quirk is an underlying 'cat' theme. Quotes and pictures about cats all over. Hand drawn images of cats by customers also adorn the walks, as to Italian record albums. I come way out of my way to come here regularly and will continue to as long as possible. Note: their fabulous bread selection comes fresh daily from the Firehouse bakery in Delgany.

I visited Platform yesterday with my wife and kids for the first time. We were seated quickly and…read moreour orders were taken without delay. The food was very tasty and we didn't have to wait long for it to arrive. The passionfruit lemonade and iced coffee was great also. I did have an issue with the wait staff however. Three staff members stood near our table and complained about their jobs and how much they were sweating while resetting the tables. There was also and incident where a lady with poor english asked for a table and the staff member explained to her more than once that she needed to go inside to be seated. The staff member then loudly complained about this lady in full view of the rest of the customers. There was a slight discrepancy with our bill also, which was quickly rectified but I dont think that the staff conducted themselves professionally by complaining about customers, in front of customers. All in all, food was enjoyable but service needs work.

We ordered two glasses of Barbera wine as our cocktail, followed by calamari, pappardelle al funghi and ravioli Asiago. The wine was perfect and complimented our meal. Our server Massimo brought out some bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar to start our meal. The calamari was amongst the best I've ever had, the breading was light and crispy. Both our pasta dishes were divine and authentic. At the end of our meal we had some espresso and were given complementary limoncello shots. Il Vicoletto was amongst the best restaurants we visited during our trip to Dublin. I highly recommend for anyone looking to eat great Italian food.

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.

Like I said; I tried other places but this one tops them all.
