Nice atmosphere- two male waiters including Roberto very helpful and friendly but young female waitress needs some retraining, Leaning across my son on three occasions to serve me is not the standard of waiting that a restaurant of this calibre should allow. She also behaved like a timid little mouse, a professional waiter needs a personality with confidence. Food not... More

We had... More

I have eaten in Il Vicolettos on perhaps 10 occasions and have never been disappointed - friendly staff - great food - quick service and the price is always reasonable. Hopefully will be there again within the next couple of weeks.

Very impressed! Great service (Roberto's recommendations were spot on). Delicious fresh food. Better than our experience in Rome! Highly recommended! Romantic music and an unpretentious relaxed atmosphere. If you want geniuine Italian experience, this the place for you.

This is a compact resturant tucked away in Dublin, but absolutely worth a visit. The staff was super friendly and the food was simply amazing. We had the best mozzarella I have ever eaten outside Italy. The special of the evening was a homemade tomato ravioli which was also superb. My only negative (which is a small one) was it... More

I am Italian and when I came to Dublin I wasn't honestly expecting to find any good Italian restaurants so far, but I was really really impressed when we first went to Il Vicoletto. It's a small place with good atmosphere, everyone is Italian (which is great), the service is great, the food is really tasty, truly italian, and If... More

People often say you don't go to Ireland for the food, and in general I would agree, unless you go for the Italian. And in that case, it is Il Vicoletto. I found this place several years ago when I was working regularly in Dublin and go back every time I am in town (sometimes, multiple visits on a single... More

We were taken here by some local friends for dinner and the homemade pasta and delicious vino was amazing. The staff were very friendly and we walked away feeling that we were in Italy!

We just recently visited this restaurant and had an exceptional evening. Food was excellent and wait staff friendly and helpful. Everyone's meal was cooked perfectly, we had veal, sea bass and spinach stuffed ravioli.
