We walked in and were seated immediately (no reservations needed), which was great. The lighting gave the impression of a night out by the candlelight, which they had at each table (very demure). The music selection was pleasant, playing quietly overhead (very mindful). We tried the pasta carbonara and the ravioli with ricotta cheese and spinach, and I have to say, as a pasta lover with many pasta plates under my belt, this ravioli is my FAVORITE ravioli I've ever had. The cheese was soft and the sauce was incredibly flavorful. The carbonara was creamy and delicious. This meal was to die for. Topped with a great brownie ice cream dessert, paired with excellent service and reasonable prices, I believe that is restaurant is a gem for anyone looking for the perfect night out. read more

I was surprised to see this place. Didn't have five stars! My wife really loved it. We were visiting for our honeymoon. The food was fantastic, the drinks were just as good. It reminded us of places we've been to in the United States. This location also had multiple floors. We went for the Italian dishes, but it publicly prides itself on being a place with multinational food offerings. read more

This place is a gem and a great break from the fish and chippy pub food. The atmosphere is great the music is a great break from the Irish music and clean lots of tables. The service is superb like you were fine dining refreshed the place settings with each course. I had the lasagna and wife had the Alfredo. Both were amazing . Deserts were superb and fresh. Wish I could give 10 stars read more

For my friend's birthday, we went down to Luigi Malones in Temple Bar. What I ordered: Strawberry Fields Small Buffalo Wings Build Your Own Pizza Starting with the strawberry fields, it tasted nice don't get me wrong but I was a bit disappointed. It was meant to be a non-alcoholic version of their strawberry daiquiri (according to the server), but it was basically a smoothie - thick with seeds and everything. And I've actually had their strawberry daiquiri before which made this even more disappointing. Next I got the buffalo wings as a starter. The small portion was a pretty big portion that could be shared with two people, and the large portion was big enough to share between three people, so that was impressive. They also serve BBQ wings instead if you're not into buffalo wings. Lastly, for mains, I got a pizza and got to make it myself. Now because I built my own toppings I obviously enjoyed what I ate. So I have no complaints there personally. Unfortunately, someone forgot to put our main through to the kitchen which left us waiting for a very long time. But the server was kind and sorted it out and even gave us a discount. read more

Bolognese pasta was amazing. It was perfectly cooked and salted. Margherita Pizza was great. Salads were awesome. Everything was fresh. I highly recommend. read more

I'm not the type of person who ever sends food back but I had to send back my ragú. The moment they dropped the plate of my companion knew that it wasn't good , it looked like plain tomato sauce with some mozzarella on top. I kept my hopes up because looks can be deceiving, but it was flavorless and cold. I also question if there was any short rib at all from the look of it . My friend flagged the waiter up and we returned the dish , I ended ordering a pizza (the pr department ) and that was way better. My companion ordered pesto is besto pizza and it was also delicious. I read more

Great food. Had the short rib lasagna , very tasty. My wife had the cheese ravioli. Wish they served bread so I could've mopped up all the sauce. Did not see bread or garlic bread on the menu, but every restaurant is different . read more

I absolutely adored this place! It was spacious and aesthetically pleasing to look at. I was enjoying myself as soon as I walked in. The music perfectly matched the feel of the restaurant as well, which hyped me up as well. Our waiter was so friendly and checked in on us every 8-10 minutes or so, which was amazing; I always appreciate when the waiter cares about how our meal's going and if we got everything okay. We just had a small meal, as we were not extremely hungry, but it was very delightful! The milkshakes are crazy smooth and delicious, their burger was perfectly cooked, and their pizza had a perfect crust! It was my absolute favourite way to end my trip to Ireland :) , and it will forever be a great experience/memory. If I lived in Ireland, my friends and I would be here all the time! read more

It was late and we were ready to eat something different. We were seated right away. I ordered the ravioli with spinach and ricotta which looked a bit unappealing and a small dinner portion. The taste was fine but did need some Parmesan on top to improve the flavor otherwise it would've been rather bland. I ate the full serving and was still hungry. Would it be so hard to serve some bread with it like most Italian restaurants? My husband did enjoy his pizza but felt it was a little skimpy on the chicken. I would not return here. read more

After eating at too many pubs, this was a nice change of pace during my Irish vacation. Nice atmosphere, good service, and huge portions.

I think at this stage in my life I've tried every single thing on the Luigi's menu, and it's a big menu. I think that's one of Luigi Malone's biggest downfalls, that there's a lot on the menu that's pretty good, not great. It does Italian, Mexican and American cuisine but I feel if the kitchen concentrated on a couplee of signiature dishes, they'd be on to something special. Luigi's is always quite crowded and my family have a habit of always coming here and they have some nice dishes, but few are great. Their deserts are the highlight, particularly the Toblerone cheesecake, which is flippin' deadly altogether. I do agree with Brian however, that the tables are too close together and being a bit claustrophobic, I wasn't too fond of feeling like I was in a pressure cooker. read more

Great service! Very kind and accommodating. Really appreciated the manager's politeness.

Another great feed last night. This place just keeps getting better each time I go back. They have done a complete refurbishment of the place with a menu to eat your way through. I particular love the black pudding burger! Never seen it heard about this beast before, but wow. You need to try it! Staff were great as always. Friendly and they knew the menu very well. Tip. Order a growler of beer. Happy days. read more

Had the best Italian food here outside of Italy that I've ever had. Along with having quick service while being packed. Definitely will be going back if I'm ever in Dublin again. read more

Im a big luigi's fan. It's great for a date, a family occasion or a big birthday celebration with lots of buddies. They do a great early bird offer and their evening menu is reasonably priced. The menu is hugely varied - the kind of restaurant that everyone can find something they like. Steaks, fajhitas, pizzas, chicken, pasta etc. My personal faves for eating with friends/family are the chicken wings and nachos to start, followed by either the santa fe chicken pizza, garlic chicken or Caesar salad for mains and definitely either the famous toblerone cheesecake or shortbread tower for dessert. Their house white is delicious too - and comes served in a funky white bottle read more

Luigi Malones - www.luigimalones.com - Steakhouses Near Me - Dublin, D

Luigi Malones is a restaurant situated in Temple Bar. I went there for lunch with a friend. The lunch menu is €10.90 for a generous portion of a main course and a soft drink, and €12.90 for a generous portion of a main course and wine or beer. I went for the soft drink option whilst my friend went for the Wine option. There was a full menu of options for lunch including, various different burgers served with fries, pizzas, salads, pasta dishes, steak or chicken baguettes with fries. The portions are very generous and very tasty. I chose the BBQ burger served with fries and coleslaw. The burger was a very generous size and was delicious. My friend had the chicken penne which she found to be delicious also. Because we were there early we got served quick, so we could not resist having a desert also. We both opted for the Toblerone and butterscotch cheesecake which is a famous desert of Luigi Malones. At €3.90 the lunch portion was almost half of what it normally cost, and the size was very generous. We both thought it was very delicious and the presentation of it was delicious. A definate place to come if you want a reasonably priced but delicious meal. read more

Well I've been a fan of luigi malones for years always loved their steaks and the expertly cut chips and pepper sauce. And I don't know why but the corona is always freezing in the place it's so nice. This trip tho I decided to go off menu for once and go with a set menu which only worked out for 2 starts 2 mains 1 dessert 2 corona and 2 cocktails at 68 euro which I think is great value. Now this time I did notice the layout had changed and the menu has also. The surf and turf my favourite is gone and not as much effort goes into their cocktails anymore. I ordered sumtin on the menu which said prawns noodles and chicken fillet with veg but the meal was swallowed by the noodles It was well presented as u will see by the pics but it in no way was satisfying as it used to be. Way to much going on and not enough meat 90 percent noodles the Toblerone cheesecake dessert tho that gets a thumbs up very fresh very delish but this time luigi malones I left not feeling as satisfied as I used to. read more

When we got into this restaurant we were given the lunch menu (it was 2:30 at the time) there was only pizzas and pastas . After ordering we got the food it was great but as we looked around we saw that people were getting burgers and much bigger portions of chicken wings our menus didn't have this they must've gotten dinner menus so one star !!! read more

Went there for lunch with my family and we had a lovely meal. In my opinion, their lunch menu is the best value in Dublin. Though, before ordering you should check the menu carefully as their "lunch deal of Eur 10 is at the very last pages. The waiters are friendly and helpful. Definitely, I would go back read more

Approached the headset-wearing head waitress, asked for a table for five, she accommodated, punched her computer screen 13 or so times then turned and said, "Ok, but I need your table back in two hours. Ok?" We said "Ok, thats fine. You're ok, thanks, we won't take it". She seemed a little surprised but as we turned to leave but she did not try to convince us to stay. Two hours is plenty of time to finish a meal but with some good wine and conversation, you don't want to feel like you are simply being squeezed onto the conveyor belt. Later (approx 2 hours) as we left La Caverna, we took a peek in the window of Luigi Malones who had several empty tables. First impressions last. read more

A mid-sized group of us had a 7pm dinner reservation here. The tone wasn't set very well when the host, of he who acted a bit like a diva, informed us that we had to be out by 8:30. The food better be prompt then, ye? That's so bloody tacky and inexcusable in my opinion. Especially since they fairly promptly asked us to leave at that time. Classy. We were sat in the back, it was comfortable enough. The service was meh as well. Our waitress was a bit snooty and seemed very irritated when taking our order. More to the point, I was finishing my chicken - which was quite a large meal and she asked if she could take the plate away or am I still working on it. I said, I think I'll give it another go. That seemed to very much bother her, because now she couldn't clear it. Of which, she returned in five minutes and asked again. She really wanted my plate! She seemed equally annoyed that we had asked for red sauce for our chips. Now they bring them out in these little cups, so perhaps she didn't want to do that, though I imagine it might not even be her job. Either way, she seemed in a huff for whatever the reason. The food itself was okeh enough. I didn't find it particularly spicy. I didn't find the chicken, for instance, particularly bad, it just wasn't particularly good. I wouldn't go back for it. The best thing were the wings. The wings were absolutely lovely. However, they were bleeding expensive as well. While I would like to come back and just have wings, perhaps for a lunch or a light dinner or what-have-you, I certainly would not be paying 7.75 for the so-called huge portion, which isn't "that' huge, you couldn't share it certainly. It is worth noting that there's an early-bird special of 18.95/23.95 if you order before 7pm, which involves 2 or 3 courses respectively. Of course, this menu also has supplemental charges, which is additionally tacky and overtly greedy. It certainly wasn't the worst dining experience in Dublin (which is sad commentary) but it wasn't worth the 300 Euro tab that 6 of us generated, considering the terrible service and 90 minute eating window. read more

I really like this place. I have been there multiple times over the last couple of years and Luigi's never disappointed. My favorites are the chicken wings (a huge plate of the most delicious chicken wings you can imagine & you will never manage to eat them on your own, so order them to share), the caesar salad (soft chicken meat, crispy bread bits and a yummy dressing), the crispy pizzas which are huge too and good to share, and the steaks. I am a sucker for steaks and whenever there is one on the menu it is super hard for me to say no. Thank god I did not say no this time around because the steak did not disappoint. Cooked nice and tender, bloody on the inside, crispy on the outside, served on hot plates with tender cooked veggies. I will be back soon and order again chicken wings as a starter (shared between two since I learned the hard way one girl can not eat 24 chicken wings and a full steak afterwards.... it is sad but true but there can be too much meat ) and a yummy steak, and I cant wait. read more

Just back from lunch at Luigi Malone's, it's been a while since I was here so I wasn't sure what to expect. The lunch menu is pretty good, with a generous selection of food for €9.95 incl a soft drink or bottle of water. (Extra €2 for beer/wine). So value wise it's not bad at all. We had a group of 8 and there were no complaints, I had the club sandwich with fries, which was very good. Top marks for the coleslaw on the side which was yum. My only complaint, and I hasten to add that this applies to most eateries in Dublin, get bigger bread slices. They are quiet small at Luigi's and struggle to hold the filling. If sliced bread is to be used, please get a large catering pan, or use a bloomer style bread cut in half instead of quarters! The small 4inch by 4inch squares just aren't big enough folks! Not sure if you wanted a long leisurely lunch this would be the place to go. The girl running around with the headset on was quite off-putting. Imagine a fast food joint in the US and you'll know what I mean. Just felt like you may be rushed out if someone arrived..... read more

Love this place. Had a fantastic 10oz fillet that was nothing short of heaven. Everything on the plate was cooked to delicious perfection. The managers on the day (Dave & Seeven) along with our waitress (Dee) were openly willing to bend over backwards for us. Try a maskuchen of Fischer's Beer from Munich which is golden nectar. The loyalty card scheme works well and theres also a great family special advertised too. All in all a well put together, professionally run temple bar restaurant read more

My second time here and for sure my last. The salmon was so overcooked it looked almost grey after it was unwrapped from its tinfoil parcel. The only saving grace was the mashed potatoe and the veg. Service was pretty good but the restaurant was pretty quiet so might be a different story on a busy night. Lots of potential but sadly they don't appear to be bothered. read more

This is in my views the fastfood of the restaurant. Very mechanical, no real friendly service. The large room makes it very noisy too. As for the food, well, my friend got food poisoning. Despite numerous calls and promises from the staff that the manager will call us back.. I'm still waiting for that call.. (it is actually a busy place, this may be why they haven't had time to call me back since February.. ok, i'm being sarcastic). Well... needless to say that they've lost 2 clients here. read more

had a very bad experience here. Awful starter: buffallo wings (just tasted vinegary) and spare ribs for main course. the spare rib were recommended as a 'you must try these ribs'. Well I did - and they were flavourless and v disappointing. Everythin came with chips and the tables are way too close together. U can hear the guy next to you sloppin his burget and slurpin his coke. Your payin fine dining prices in this place for eddioe rockets standard food. AVOID ps. I brought all this to the attention of the head waitress afterwards. She didnt even listen to me - wasnt interested read more

If you have picky eaters or you are on your 7th day of pub food and need a break, this is a good place. They have pizza, pasta and Mexican. So it's basically like being home in America at a chain but better quality. I originally wasn't happy about having to eat here but it allowed the kids to refuel with their food and my carbonara was pretty good. read more

So... Where too begin. The SERVICE is awful. The waiters are awful. Firstly a full round of our drinks was spilled by a waiter. I witnessed a waitress eating chips of a plate that she subsequently served to a customer. Too top it all off the waiters have no pleasant side.... FAIL The orders came out and the food was great but great food doesn't justify the terrible service. Definitely will NOT be recommending this place! read more

I'm not entirely sure why but I've always had a real soft spot for Luigi Malones. Even as I write this I'm having a hard time giving them 2 stars instead of 3. We arrived in on a midweek evening & were promptly shown to our seats... Lovely. We ordered starters which came & were great. The chicken wings were actually delicious, in my opinion would give some of the best in Dublin a run for their money with that lovely vinegary kind of sauce. The Nachos not so great. Just a few dry crisps with a homemade "salsa" which was actually just diced up vegetables thrown on top. Guacamole was good but the melted cheese had gone cold & hard before we had even tucked in. I ordered a pizza, which I must say was very good and absolutely HUGE. I would consider myself to have a reasonable apetite but even with the help of another, couldn't finish the pizza. I was torn between the pizza & jambalaya since I had been here previously & had i in the past and found it to be absolutely delicious, but as my fiancé settled on the Jambalaya I went for the pizza. Right decision on my part. The jambalaya was so so bland. It was not unlike someone had just opened a tin of tomatoes on top of past, chicken & prawns. The whole dish had a earthy flavour to it & I don't mean "earthy" in the wholesome sense of the term, I mean it tased like earth, dirt, muck. Like someone hadn't cleaned the prawns properly perhaps. (I neglected to mention this to my partner as he hadn't noticed & I can often be fussy with Fish dishes). After the mains the plates were promptly taken away but we had to sit for about 10 minutes & then ask someone if they would take our dessert order, in which time I actually lost my apetite for dessert so this delay is potentially losing them business. My fiancé got the Toblerone Cheese Cake, which is delicious! I did find it to be reasonably priced, as all of the above including a dessert wine for me was less than €50, but with that said, this was during an early bird offer & had if it had cost much more I would be saying that it was expensive for the quality of what we got. Overall my heart says 3 stars, but in my head I know it must be a 2. Pull your socks up Luigi Malones! I know you can do better! read more

I went here last Friday for their €9.99 lunch deal. I cannot fault the value! You get a main course from a massive menu of choice plus a soft drink. However, the menu was a little bit all over the place with a lot of really ecclectic choices which made it hard to know what to order. There was pasta, pizza, burgers, burritos, soup, salad, if you are looking for a wide variety look no further. For me, it was just lacking in identity and was a little confusing. The service and value for money were great! read more

SERVICE My servers is very in tentative, but when it got busy I had to flag her down for water and bill. It will be nice if they have extra set of hands if she needs it. FOOD I had the "Rib Eye Steaks 10oz" with potatoes, onions & mushrooms and garlic butter. The rib eye steak was cooked medium rare with perfection. The chef kept a sliver of fat to keep the steak moist when served. The garlic butter was served on the side, I suggest when eating put the butter on top of the steak so it can melt all over the rib eye. The potatoes was creamy with a hint of garlic. The onions and mushrooms was sauteed and served in the side. CONCLUSION The restaurant is located inside Temple Bar area so it will be pricey. There are other Italian restaurant in Dublin that will be more reasonable priced. "Would I go back? Yes if I'm in the area". By Amateur_Critic read more

Great stop for lunch with a good menu with a lot of variation. Aesthetically pleasing. Warning though: there are huge, basically raw onions in many of the dishes so you'd better love onions, homie. read more

I dined at Luigi Malones with a friend, as we got there 20mins early, we were quickly taken to a table within 5mins, which I think is great service. I think the quality of the food is very good. It also has a nice atmosphere and its very good value for money. The staff were very friendly and the service was excellent. I will definitely visit Luigi Malones again and I would also recommend it to others aswell. read more

Vegetable Pizza, Margherita Pizza, Wings, and Ribs & Chips ordered. Our starters included garlic bread and chicken nachos. Soft drinks were included with our meals and just €11 per person. The Margherita Pizza was not what we expected as it arrived with an orange color and no tomatoes. However, we had enough delicious food at the table that it seemed petty to complain. The Vegetable Pizza was enough for two people and we all agreed it was worth €11 alone. The Saturday lunch was very busy, but the staff kept up and remained attentive and friendly throughout our time there. We cleaned our plates and agreed it was a great lunch deal we'd revisit. read more

Have been here both at lunch time and at night. Never any complaints. A great place for a birthday party or hen night as they're well able to cater for large groups. They also have a really good cocktail menu. Great lunchtime deal of a main course and a glass of wine (or mineral) for €9.95! They also offer a soup starter with ciabatta at lunchtime for €1.50. Good variety on the menu to cater for all tastes. Staff are friendly too. Would thoroughly recommend you go here :-) read more
