We recently went to this place for dinner, based on a good review we saw in the paper. The place is on a quiet street away from the noise of the city centre, we liked this. There aren’t many tables, it’s small, and when we...visited there were only 2 staff: a chef and a waitress. Mostly pizza on the menu (€19) and a couple of other dishes (€25). They only had 2 choices of red wine, both Sicilian, both €34 per bottle. We tasted both bottles and neither was anything to write home about. Ordering the food was awkward/confusing as we felt the waitress was a little scattered, also there was a number of items on the menu that they didn’t actually have or were not as described on the menu -and btw, I speak Italian and that menu is plagued with typos, e.g.: proscuitto... they are presenting themselves as an Italian restaurant... that menu should be flawlessly written, in our opinion. We wanted to order bruschetta but they had ran out. We ordered something else but the starters came at different times, probably 10 minutes between them. We were given a small portion of bread (for 4 people) and no balsamic or olive oil. Then we waited about 30-40mins for our mains... and when they came they were disappointing. The pizzas were just OK, kinda bland, no herbs or chilli flakes on the table and a little too much dough. They were just OK. Definitely not the best pizza in Dublin, not even close. Even Milano’s do a better job, trust me. One of us ordered the fish and they couldn’t even clarify what fish was going to be on the plate as there was so much confusion between the chef and the waitress. In the end it came with some pasta which was supposed to have tomato but didn’t and was simply not seasoned. Perhaps some steamed potatoes and green veg on the side, instead of dry bland pasta, would have made the dish worth while. Needless to say, we didn’t hang around for dessert. Overpriced, just not good enough. Go elsewhere.More
