Absolutely delicious! The food is outstanding, ambience is charming, and the staff is polite. I highly recommend the Suppli, the Bruschetta, and the Spaghetti al sugo di Polpette! Yummy!!!

Amazing find after touring the Book of Kells, Trinity and the Dublin Castle. This restaurant is right across the street and has a two item lunch special. We ordered the linguine with vongole and muscles, and green salad. They were not put off that we were sharing. (We have dinner reservations in four more hours). It was amazing! The aroma alone made my mouth water and the flavor was outstanding. The salad was made with lovely fresh vegetables. We have decided to cancel our steakhouse reservation for tomorrow night in lieu of booking here instead.

I will highly recommend , if you like to have great Italian food this is the place. They have their own vegetable garden.

Absolutely incredible! A must visit! The two course lunch selection was definitely the way to go. Our server was impeccable and the space was amazing. Absolutely thrilled we stopped here!

Waking down the road in Ireland, I came across Toscana. What caught my eye was the gluten free Pana Cotta. The staff were very helpful, the place is very clean, and the food was served promptly. I order a salad and had them add goat's cheese. It was a lot of goat cheese! This was a very large salad served with rocket, lots of olives, as peppers. It was a feast in itself. I also had the soup of the day without bread. It was a bean and cabbage soup and was both tasty and filling as well. The Pana Cotractors was very nice and was served without the extra sugar. They even anticipated this. ;) Top notch dessert. I loved it. My impression of the place is that it is a very nice Italian restaurant with some nice woodwork on the walls, the seating is very comfortable and extra efforts were made to make sure my lunch was perfect. The bill was 17.40 euro. WOW!!! What a deal!

Pizza with (super dry) chicken, spinach and corn
Mel T.

Soggy pizza? Manager loudly yelling at the waiter? PASS. Came here on a Saturday afternoon and had the 10 Euro lunch special - A starter and a main dish. Decided to go with the pizza since it was what I was craving. Chose spinach, sweet corn and chicken for the toppings. Here's the 411 - If you're going to get the pizza (which you shouldn't because there was not enough sauce so I had to cop some from my friend's pasta dish just to make it okay-tasting) don't get the chicken on it because it tastes like they killed the bird 3 weeks ago and left it out in the sun to dry, then threw it on your pizza) The verdict - don't let the lunch special fool you. If you keep walking straight for about a block or so, you'll run into a restaurant that was featured on the travel channel, called Crackbird (which i didn't find out until after the fact that I was stuffed with dry pizza).

Simply delish.

Simply delish. Bottom of the photo is spinach, ground beef, three cheese stuffed pasta. Came with a side of buttered roasted potatoes. Top of photo is the penne dish.

Delish!!!

Wow!!! This food is legit Italian food! The atmosphere and the service were wonderful! The Moscato wine that we had, Giallo I believe, was absolutely delicious! If you were in Dublin and you are craving Italian food, you must visit Toscana.

Lasagna

I ate here twice on a 3 day trip to Dublin.. The Lasagna is phenomenal !! Service was A+++++. Awesome atmosphere. Gotta eat here if you are in Dublin.

Vegetable Cream Soup

We came in here on our first day at Dublin for an early dinner. The restaurant is near the Temple Bar and City Center. We were seated downstairs near the kitchen and the seats were pretty cozy. We started off with Zuppa Del Giorno and Zuppa Ribollita Soups. For the main, we had Lasagne Vegetariana and Pollo Limone. And for dessert we had Tiramisu. The portions were good and every dish came out great. The service was pretty prompt as well.

On our three week trip to Scotland and Ireland, our last three days were spent in Kilkenny…read more Our apartment just happens to be above the Butcher restaurant. We arrived early in the afternoon, and once the restaurant opened, we were provided with free smells of wonderfully cooking beef. Our plans were to go explore Kilkenny, looking for a place to eat, as the Butcher did not have any available seats. As l've done with other cities around Scotland and Ireland, I walked in, asked Camila if there were any seats available for four, she said we have one available right now. I scurried back and got the rest of the crew, and we were provided with a wonderful meal. We all chose the daily special, which was a 12 ounce ribeye, which we shared between each couple. We also added in salads, as well as grilled vegetables and sautéed mushrooms. All aspects of the meal were really good. I don't recall the name of the server, but he was very good, along with everybody else on the team who were always paying attention, and provided you with anything you needed at a moment's notice. The restaurant was very busy, and I'm surprised we were able to get a table, but Camila did a great job. Great vibe in the place. A bit noisy at first, but a couple large / loud tables settled their bills and left. Quite pleasant then. Thank you!

But the hostess was an absolute gem. She had even tried calling me and still held our table. That kind of kindness already made me a fan before I even sat down. The food was incredible. I'm not usually into beans, but theirs were so good I kept going back for more. The scallops were perfectly cooked, sweet and tender. And the steak... wow. The flavor was out of this world. I've had some great steaks in my life, but this one took the cake. Every bite was rich, juicy, and unforgettable. I ate all over Ireland, and this was hands down my favorite meal of the trip. If you get the chance, do not miss The Butcher Grill.

We were in Ireland first time for 11 days,…read more This place was recommended by a local tour guide. And let me tell you The Steak is the bomb Everything was so good including their own beer. And cap off that meal with some awesome Crème brûlée Thank You.

Such a change from the last experience a year ago…read more We had 8:30 PM reservations. Arrived around 8:10 and were told to wait at the bar. No problem, it's NYE, we can wait for out booked time. Less than 5 minutes later we were lead to a table, not even time to order a drink! We shared everything. Ordered cocktails to begin with. They were ok, two different old fashioned drinks. We tried to order bone marrow, scallops, tuna tataki and a Caesar salad as starters. They were already out of the bone marrow and scallops. It's a holiday, you know there are reservations... what?! Poor management and planning!! They recommended the lamb kidneys... never had them before, super gross. I'll never do that again. It smelled like urine! We ordered the burger and 14 oz sirloin to share, medium rare on the steak. Polenta fries, and mashed potatoes. The polenta fries were outstanding! The burger was delicious! Smokey flavor, it was great. It came with huge steak fries, I prefer shoestring. The steak was not tender. Had a better steak sandwich at the Morrison for lunch. All in all, I will not be going back nor recommending this place. The wine I ordered never arrived, our water was never refilled. In fact, after the food arrived, we never saw anyone again!! When the check came with an obligatory 12.5% tip I missed it and paid. Once I noticed, I flipped out!! This was the worst service ever!! I double check tipping culture in Ireland before I complain. 10% is good for good service and bad service is ok to leave zero tip. So I asked for it back. They gave me credit for the tip but not the tax on tip. Unimpressed. Won't go again.

First, I have to apologize for the awful photos. I'm not…read moresure if it was the lighting or user error, but I could not take a good photo in this beautiful venue. We were referred to Shanahan's by American friends. This is a classic American steakhouse, and had I realized that, I would have chosen a more authentically Irish restaurant. The meal and service were fantastic, but I'm not sure this would rank in my top steakhouse experiences. Our steak was not cooked medium rare - it was almost medium well. While everything was delicious, nothing stood out as unique other than the bread. That being said, a similar experience in the states would cost two times as much (think Morton's or Jeff Ruby's). The bread was fantastic, as were the scallops. As a southern American, the creamed corn was fantastic and as authentic as I've had anywhere (including the south). Our servers were incredibly attentive and the venue was beautiful. If you're from the USA... I'd pass and leave the experience to European tourists who want the American steakhouse experience. No complaints, just not what we typically look for when traveling international (which is entirely our fault). This is a very post place and reservations are a must.

The restaurant was beautiful and the hostesses were kind when greeting me and finding me a table (I…read moredid not have a reservation). The bread was Delicious! I could have ate that alone. This steakhouse reminds me of a Ruth Chris in the states. All steaks are ala carte and cooked perfectly. I got a half portion of truffle fries and it was definitely large enough for 2 people at minimum. Upon receiving my bill they gave me three chocolates which was a great treat. The only reason I didn't rate this higher is the wait service seemed to ignore me after I ordered and only till I asked for the check. The restaurant was busy with large parties and their attentiveness with them did look like if it was slower or I had a larger party I would get the same.
