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.

It ended up being about 19 euros. Anyways, everything was timely and delicious, with the white wine option being a little bitter and not the best, but the food really hitting the spot. Our server was very nice and accommodating. On a Saturday night, it wasn't very busy and that was good if you were looking for a more intimate place to talk and catch up. I would definitely come here again! Try the carbonara and the Italian wedding soup, it's to die for.

Located right across Busaras (the central bus station), the place is a hidden spot and also very central. They have a set menu with pasta and pizza for 10, sides for about 3 and desserts for 6 euro. Wonderful roof decor with romantic atmosphere. For starters, I would suggest the goat's cheese and sun dried tomato tartlet and for the main, the 4 cheese pizza. The cheese is of good quality and the size is fair. The fish and chips is not so big and a bit expensive for 12.50 if compared to other places in town.

The food was amazing and Marco our server was hilarious and made the experience so enjoyable.

The restaurant fits 20 people so it's intimate but casual. Such a special find! Couldn't recommend it more.

Atmosphere was pretty tight, bad odors and not really comfortable…read more Service was rude at first then it was good after we ordered. I tried the Porcini ravioli with truffle sauce (~€26), I also tried their cake (€9.5). Food isn't it for me, like you could tell the pasta is fresh but it was bland and the truffle flavor was not there, it wasn't horrible, but it wasn't good either. The cake was soaked in sugar syrup, too sweet and couldn't eat it. We love IL Vicoletto cause its fresh and tasted like the food we tried in Rome, Italy, but we heard good things about this place and also wanted to try a new place, but this place wasn't even close to what we like or are used to. So not for us.

And it was. Did a little research and found this gem a block and a half from our hotel. Called an ordered a 4 frommagi "mini calzone" and was told they didn't have that on the menu any longer, so I asked why they did have for calzones and he said "we have one with mozzarella, Parmesan, scarmorza and salami". I said "could I order that but without the salami" and so it was done- tre frommagi. I couldn't decide between the Bianca and the "Lucky Tom" but on the owner's suggestion, went with the Bianca, a pizza with an olive oil base, topped with tomato, mozzarella di buffalo, Parma ham, shaved park and rocket (a.k.a. Arugula). When I went to pick them up 10 minutes later, they were ready and had a lovely char from the wood fired oven. The "mini" calzone would've been more than enough for the two of us, and I wished I had ordered just that since we do not have a refrigerator in our room and have to get creative with any leftovers. Anyway both hit the spot, but there was so much cheese in the calzone o ended up having it on the crust of my pizza and there was too much rocket on the pizza, but overall a win and a nice finish to the evening before we drifted off to sleep.

Italian/Irish fish & chips have gone from being an everyday staple to dietary minefield in that time.

That said, Fusciardis isn't bad, but I wouldn't recommend it for anything other than late-night fuel.

We have had good food all week, and were wondering if we should try an Italian restaurant in Ireland. Well, this place which serves Sardinian food, is a gem. There are no other restaurants I near the hotel, but, of course, the hotel does have a restaurant. We ate there last night, but our server literally disappeared and left us without checking out and I gen the staff could not find him. We wanted to eat somewhere else, and the food was fantastic. Yummy, hearty, flavorful, and as the menu said, with a Sardinian twist. We have never tried Sardinian food and we were not disappointed. Hubby had lasagna, and the sauce was definitely a gravy. I had the bus atino which was creamy without being moist and swimming in a sauce. The staff was super friendly. Highly recommend this restaurant.

You're doing good, I could have taken two. We did the early dinner or pre theater menu and had the prawns, crab toast, ravioli and clam pasta. Ok ok I don't like my food looking at me and definitely shouldn't have ordered prawns but luckily I'm married to a person that understands my phobias. Once the eyes were removed the prawns were great and flavorful. Not spicy or overly seasoned, just right. The crab toast was very flavorful buttttt I imagined something different. Think cold lobster roll but with crab ‍ not sure what I was expecting, nevertheless it was very tasty and the sweet bread choice complimented it well. The ravioli wasn't mine but I wasn't a fan but the clam pasta, chefs kiss. Olive oil, lemon base with perfectly cooked al dente pasta and an appropriate clam to pasta ratio - sold. The clam pasta was definitely the star of the show and I'm sad that I wasn't able to finish it. If you decide to swing by, early dinner pricing is definitely the way to go.

While in Dublin, we were just looking for a restaurant nearby with great ratings, and this came up…read more We walked in with no reservations on a Saturday night, and we got seated immediately in a very packed restaurant. It was super snug - like really close seating next to other parties. However, it was really nice and intimate, and the service here was great and friendly. We got the salad with a baked block of goat cheese, and oh my, it was heavenly. Served with mixed greens, tomato, garbanzo beans and drizzled in olive oil and balsamic. The pizza was really great too, really simple and the bread on the pizza was perfect (the restaurant has a huge pizza oven so you know the pizza here is made legit). Saving the best for last, the past of the day, which had prawns, zucchini, tomatoes with bucatini, and the sauce is white wine, but it was like a creamy red, and no complaints. This is probably the best pasta dish we've had in a while and we were so satisfied. So glad we found this gem during our short stay in Dublin, and if you're craving good Italian food, check this place out.

The neighbourhood has been decidedly gentrified in the past number of years but the North Strand is still, shall we say, different. We were seated pretty much immediately and then reseated because I wound up sitting beside the door which, every time it opened, sent a cold draught down my spine. It didn't help that the door never properly closed without manual intervention. Anyway, one cocktail in and I didn't notice any more. The room was small but very cozy, service was efficient without being pushy so all good. The food was fantastic it has to be said. Italian, as the name suggests, throughout. My companion and I shared a bruschetta al pomodoro which was so moreish I was sorry we hadn't ordered one each. Two of the party opted for monkfish with pappardelle which was cooked to perfection. I had the penne with salsiccia which was superb and plentiful. A couple of bottles of montepulciano reserva later we headed back across the river sated and satisfied. We'll definitely be back, visas or no visas. Highly recommended.
