This is hands down the best Italian restaurant I've ever experienced in Dublin, and I've been…read moreliving in Dublin for over fifty years. I always bring overseas visitors here as it's a guaranteed great meal. I've never had a bad food experience here. The ambiance is lovely and the only downside to this restaurant is that it isn't larger. Its small size puts time pressure on both staff and patrons. I would give it four stars for that reason if I could bring myself to, which I can't because the food's too good! :) My advice to patrons would be to book a table at IL Vicoletto outside of the weekend dinner evening rush. The homemade pasta is an experienced to be savored, especially if you order the wild boar ragu.

Made a reservation at Il Vicoletto for my wife's birthday. Upon arrival we were promptly seated by…read moreChristian. The restaurant dining area was welcoming and had an authentic Italian feel. 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.

Could use more seasoning, I added 1 packet of salt and pepper and it definitely took it up a notch. We also got the Boston BBQ pizza. Have no idea what any part of the pizza had to do with Boston - but besides the point. There was a decent amount of toppings, however, they must come from a can and sit in water because the crust of the pizza was soggy, especially towards the middle where the majority of the toppings were. If I was in the area again, I'd definitely try other items if looking for a late/later night meal.

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.

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.

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.
