My friend and I shared a pizza Amatriciana and the pasta Casarecce; both dishes were completely exceptional.  Just how exceptional?  It's safe to say that the cuisine here is every bit as good (if not better) than what I get from the best restaurants on my most recent trip to Italy :-) Tip: Their pizzas are delicious because they do all the components right - especially the dough; it's easy to digest and completely authentic Over and above the superior quality of the food, we were greeted warmly and well attended by all the staffers we met during our visit.

Amazing Italian in Dublin. We went here for lunch. We started with a burrata starter and both agreed we could have ended there. The wine, the food, and the services were all amazing. You need to try this place!

Service was fantastic and the food came out so quick! The pizza was phenomenal and was easily better than some of the food I had in Italy. I highly recommend coming here if you find yourself in Dublin. Great job by the business!

Was so pleasantly surprised to find authentic Napoli style pizza in Dublin (a welcome change to all the cottage pie and chips I've been devouring). Friendly staff, delicious pizza and nice selection of wine, cocktails and desserts. Would definitely return!

Can't deny it this is one awesome pizza ! As my office is just around the corner i am finding this place hard to resist. I have gone for the special pizza each time and it hasn't let me down. Last week was especially good with a lovely Italian sausage and mozzarella. The crust the perfect mix of crunchy and chewy. They start at €12 which is pretty good value. The bruschetta is also fab especially the olive tapenade - one the best I've ever had. The drinks menu is good with a few nice cocktails. The service I found very good and the girls are really friendly and chatty. Delighted to have this gem on my door step

Antipasti sharing plate

Can't help but give this place a five. Great food, wine and a little banter with the staff. Who, by the way, are fab. Booked on a Saturday evening. We were told we'd have to give the table back within 1.5 hours which was no issue because the service is v efficient. They did manage to take in walkins but it seemed like it was getting v busy so if you're looking to go I'd suggest you book ahead or you can get takeout. I was super delighted to discover that I could order an actual white pizza without having to ask for a pizza with no tomato sauce (I don't like tomato sauce on my pizza so? Why is that such a big deal?!) Anyhow the three of us ordered the antipasti sharing plate. I loved the cheese and the bread. I didn't get to try the salami, pancetta or the veg but it all looked so so good. You snooze, you lose right? :) Shared a bottle of their house red wine which is currently a Sangiovese / Merlot and is v smooth. Kinda far too easy to drink! For my main I got a white pizza - Pupillos. That was topped with sweet salami, ricotta, mozzarella and black pepper. Yummo!! The crust was incredible. I'd be the size of a house but would happily eat that ALL day. Left room for dessert? Hells yes! I got their special - an extremely light five star tiramisu which I did actually reluctantly share because it was just AMAZING! Will definitely be back soon. Even if it's just to get takeout :)

I love Italian restaurants, so I guess I'm always going to be slightly biased, but, I really liked this place. Nice traditional selection of dishes, well presented with professional staff. It's early days (I was here on night two I think) so I reserve final judgement for another visit but was very impressed with what I saw so far. If you like Italian, try it.

Delighted when I found out there was a new pizza eatery in town. Tried to drop in for dinner on a Sunday and checked their website and realised that they don't open on a Sundays - dunno if that's good/bad for a business on Baggot St. It wasn't busy on a Wednesday when I visited Crillos for food. Small restaurant, tables are close together. Great wine, good pizza but the service wasn't great. We were told they needed the table and we were basically kicked out. Wouldn't be going back anytime soon.

Nicest bruchetta ever!

See all

Just did take out so no comment on service. The pizzas are amazing- perfect combination of chewy crust, homemade sauce, and fresh cheese.

Really excellent food and first class service. The pizza clearly has been perfected here, making it possibly the best in dublin.

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

The monthly special starter (Wild Mushroom Risotto) was amazing. Probably one of the best risottos…read moreI have ever had. We almost ordered another. After finishing the starter, it took a bit too long for the main dish to come out. Once it did come out, we were kind of full from the first dish. The wife for the Zucchini Primvera. The pasta seemed liked it could have been cooked a bit more. It probably needed another minute or so before it was Al Dente. Overall, the food was good and I would come back for sure.

I'm so confused how this place has good reviews. Service was nonexistent. It was not busy. It…read moreseemed takeout was the busiest part of the restaurant. The pasta was cold and dried out. The only thing worth having was the sample platter of the arancini balls. Even those were hard to distinguish which ones were which. Definitely try a different restaurant if you're looking for Italian.

Why I'll go back: wide variety of sauces lets you satisfy any craving…read moreYou HAVE to order: the arancini (how's that for a curveball) Tony's Tip: Given the generous portion size and wide variety of sauces, if you can do a group of 4-6 you'll be able to sample a lot more of the menu. Things I liked about Sprezzatura: - whatever you're in the mood for (marinara, carbonara, bolognese...), it's probably on the menu that night - the sauces are rich/heavy. I like, but maybe not everyone will. - generous portions - super friendly service Things I wasn't crazy about: - the finish on the table left a stickiness that was annoying as we sat through our meal - the kitchen door kept slamming shut (loudly) with every staff pass-through and needs some sort of better hinge or soft close mechanism - each pasta dish was a bit overrun with sauce. I might have soaked it up with some bread, but the amount was unnecessary for the pasta alone. We ordered three pastas dishes. I actually liked the one I didn't order the most - an amatriciana-like red sauce with a little spice. My wife enjoyed the Fettucini, Nduja and Mascarpone. The Mafaldine Cashel Blue (cheese) and Roasted Walnuts, which also had caramelized onions in it, was actually not as sweet as I expected (or wanted) it to be. What we did agree on, though, was how delicious the arancini was (we went with spicy sausage). I would lead with that...but don't get carried away. The wine choices were limited, but solid. And the price was very reasonable. I'd go back again (if I actually lived in Ireland!), mostly when I have a fix for a certain flavor. There was a lot of delivery business taking place during our visit. I suspect these sauces don't travel well (no firsthand experience with that), so dine in seems like the better call to me.
