We had a wonderful dinner and thoroughly enjoyed the food. We started with the Burrata di Andria…read morecon Patta Negra e Radicchio Estivo and the Bruschetta al Pomodoro, both of which were fresh, flavorful, and a perfect start to the meal. For our entrées, we had the Ravioli dello Chef di Ricotta e Basilico and the Seafood Linguine. Both dishes were excellent, with fresh ingredients and authentic flavors that made for a memorable meal. The atmosphere was quaint, cozy, and welcoming, and the staff was attentive and friendly throughout the evening. The only small disappointment came at the very end. We noticed many other tables being offered complimentary limoncello, and we had been looking forward to experiencing that Italian tradition ourselves. Since we were the last guests to leave, we weren't offered any, which was a bit of a letdown after such an otherwise fantastic dining experience. Overall, the quality of the food and the warm service made this a restaurant we would gladly recommend and visit again.

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.

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

They had a live band playing inside, but there wasn't any seating available, so we sat outside. Thankfully, it was sunny, dry, and in the low 70s, which made for a pleasant afternoon. The ordering process was interesting--you order at the bar and let them know which seating area you'll be using. As for the food, it was pretty traditional bar fare, so I'm not really sure what I expected. I wasn't disappointed, but I wasn't blown away either. I went with the bangers and mash, which was decent, although I found the gravy to be a little on the sweet side. The prices were slightly higher than most of the other places we visited in Dublin, but still felt fair given the location and atmosphere.

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.
