This was my very first stop for a meal in Dublin. It was a bit busy when I came in--on a Sunday,…read moretoo. However, when they got to me I was given a warm welcome and a table for one. I had the pink bruschetta, which was delicious and a more hearty portion than I expected. I'd probably share it with someone if I ever ordered it again. I also had the gnocci with seafood--clams and shrimp, in this case. Good texture on the gnocci, 4 nicely sized shrimp, and some open shell clams scattered about. After having this and the bruschetta, I was completely stuffed. The venue itself is cozy, with a bar and a couple tables on the first floor, and an upper level that I actually didn't get to see. There is also space for seating outside. To say staff was friendly is a bit of an understatement. It's a small place, but small places don't always have good service. Here, I felt like they really cared about whether I enjoyed my experience. Checking on me to see if I enjoyed each course, if I was thirsty, wanted anything additional, etc. There were two people working when I arrived, and three by the time I left. They all checked on me and were very personable. I usually don't make repeat visits when I'm out of town, but I might have to make an exception here.

The service was great: everyone was very attentive and we got our food quickly. The restaurant itself is intimate and perfect for families or a date night. The food was delicious. I had a seafood pasta and gelato to finish, all of which was amazing. My pasta definitely did not skimp on the seafood at all and was easily on par with dishes I've had in Italy. I throughly enjoyed our time here and would definitely go out of my way to have another meal here when we return to Ireland. Bravo!

So not a 5 due to this cacophonous environment. Food was excellent across the board: - bruschetta - 5/5, fresh plum tomatoes and basil on generous toasted slices of bread, a tad salty in parts but delicious - contorna salad - 5/5 with arugula radicchio poached pears, goat cheese, candied walnuts, and a honey drizzle, very fresh and good for sharing - beef and mushroom ravioli - 5/5 my partner thoroughly enjoyed his pasta dish although he noted it was smaller than mine - tagliatelle with beef shin ragu - 5/5 I love me a good tagliatelle with meat sauce and this was excellent. A couple noodle strands were undercooked but all is forgiven as the rest was perfectly al dente and I scraped up every bit of the sauce - tiramisu - 5/5 an excellent offering and sizable for sharing We're very glad we tried Dunne & Crescenzi and thoroughly enjoyed our food but won't be back because of the noise level!

Stumbled across this little restaurant/cafe' yesterday and decided to check it out…read more I am so glad I did. The interior is really cosy and cute, they had Italian music playing in the background and there was a very chilled, nice atmosphere. The staff was very welcoming, funny and friendly. My friend and I were only meant to stay for aperitivo so we ordered a Spritz ( a must try - it also came with complimentary homemade focaccia with aubergines, bruschetta and olives) but we liked the place so much we ended up trying some of the food too. We ordered gnocchi to share which were AMAZING but pizza looked delicious too. Highly recommend this place: great atmosphere, amazing food, friendly staff and great prices too..I am looking forward to going back soon and try more of their dishes.

I know this place is known for their pizza but I was craving pasta. Ordered the insalata caprese to start. Delicious. Generous portion and served with extremely tasty grilled bread.

Lovely meal in a nice atmosphere. Make a reservation for a nice intimate dinner in the small dining room. They only have about 5 tables. Really nice meal. So glad I tried this place. I'll be back.

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.
