Amazing place beautiful restaurant with amazing staff.
Food was lovely fresh, tasty and beautifully presented.
A real find in the heart of temple bar. Absolutely amazing.

Visited for mums birthday with the family, lovely staff providing a great service and amazing food full of flavour.

I would say the restaurant was more of a 4.5 rating than 5 but, I didn't think 4 was fair enough. My family and I went to Caverna for dinner on Easter Sunday. The bruschetta was amazing. I had the lasagna which was excellent. My husband had the carbonara pasta which was good (hence the 4.5 instead of 5). However, I am comparing it to the carbonara pasta which we had in Italy. I've only had carbonara pasta twice. Once in Italy and the second time in Ireland so, I don't know how capable I am to compare. The atmosphere was great and the service was outstanding. I would definitely recommend trying it for a great Italian meal!

Met up as a group of 6 for a meal and were shown downstairs to a really cosy restaurant area. Food was great and the staff were friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend!

Excellent welcome and friendly inviting atmosphere. Not impressed with the menu. Disappointed there were no specials, dinner was mediocre. Service was friendly and speedy - but food just did not impress - sadly.

Great food matched by great service. The Galway mussels and garlic prawns were very tasty. The fillet was tender and a proper medium rare. The pollo siciliano was flavorful and satisfying. We had 14 folks at the table and all had a great time.

Very small portions, although it was “Early Bird” they were still too small.
The head waitress was as mad as a March hare...she had a quirky phrase for everything (some in Irish!!) Service was good and efficient, but the bill was incorrect and we were overcharged.

Great restaurant in middle of temple bar area. Greeted by fantastic front of house and escorted to our seats. Food was lovely and constantly catered for during our visit. Would definitely visit again.

Had a fantastic night, great food with lovely presentation. Venison was cooked to perfection.

To start with the service was amazing and a really nice space. The only issue was that the food was just not that good. All three of us had the same reaction and we all had different entrées. I really wanted to like it because of the people but ultimately it is the food that tells the tale.

I wish I could remember the name of the wonderful woman at the door. She was so full of life and joy! Her welcome was a great start to a great meal. Fine wine, serious Italian food, candlelight - who wouldn't enjoy that! Thank you, La Caverna!

Delicious food, great service and just a lovely restaurant in general.

We went for a birthday meal and we ordered off the early bird menu. Great value for money, the food was delicious and the service was fantastic. Only criticism is there was no veg, salad with the main meal and this was not made obvious. We would have ordered some if we'd known. Other than that would highly recommend.

Have been a few times now and food is so nice every time. Service was excellent and Monica was a delight so funny and attentive

When we arrived we was greeted by such a welcoming friendly member of staff who showed us to our table and served us throughout our meal. It was such a pleasure and she couldn’t do enough for us. Very helpful offering to take photos and help us to find our bus stop. Also very helpful with our menu choices in such a joyful manner. She had amazing people Skills. The menu had a great choice especially for vegaterains and vegans which you don’t often see. We had bruschetta, pasta and then vegan brownie and all three courses was delicious and tasted homecooked. We shared a bottle
Of wine also and found our bill reasonably
Good value for two people in a city having three courses. Definitely recommend and would certainly visit again next time we go to Dublin. Massive praise for the quality of food and service from the lovely lady.

My girlfriend and I were in Dublin for a night and it was amazing! The food was amazing, the staff were friendly and the setting was perfect. Would definitely recommend

Somewhat Tacky so called italian restaurant- food is mediocre and overpriced. Would not recommend.

Excellent food and service. Brilliant waitress. Great atmosphere too

Went with some friends for dinner on Christmas Eve to this restaurant, and the food, service, and value were excellent. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes Italian cuisine. But please be sure to contact them in advance to make a reservation, since you might not otherwise be seated since every table was booked.

Wonderful staff. Terrific atmosphere. Had a brilliant night.

Fabulous service, great traditional Italian cuisine and the atmosphere very pleasant. The waiter gets a special award for tolerating one of group boisterously celebrating a birthday. With thanks to him and apologies to others near our group!

Very enjoyable meal , good quality food very enjoyable occasion but felt the restaurant needed a bit more heat on the day.

Really decent food and cosy atmosphere. Tucked away in a sea of tourist traps but was very quality.

Caverna Italian Restaurant and Wine Bar is a really cozy place and really like the basement, which is a bit like sitting in a wine cellar. I went there with a friend and we both had a lovely steak and some nice Italian red wine. The staff was friendly and helpful so can only recommend this place for a nice dinner in Dublin.

really enjoyed my meals always find find food is delicious ! However my mam and sister found the pasta wasn’t overally hot could have been a lot hotter. Otherwise lovely as always

Food was ok, but the service was poor and the restaurant was lacking atmosphere. It was also quite run down, had to walk past dusty suitcases and dirty laundry in a back corridor to get to the bathroom.
Service left a lot to be desired, the waiters did not come near us to check in at any stage, we had white wine but weren’t even given an ice bucket for this.
Would not recommend.

My boyfriend and I were visiting Dublin for 1 night and felt like Italian. We read the reviews and so booked a seat and were overly delighted with the service, food and wine list. It wasn't overly expensive and the service was exceptional. Def worth a visit if you're in town.

We have been to this restaurant so many times and it is just brilliant every time. The staff are great, the food is delicious and the value is unbelievable. Fantastic wine selection too. Will keep going back to this absolute gem.

We went for our daughters graduation . The food was excellent we all had different dishes and all equally delicious . The staff were very helpful and friendly . Didn't actually see gluten free bread on menu but should of asked , but apart from would defiantly return . Thank you so much for ending our celebrations perfectly .

Good choice of authentic Italian dishes prepared with fresh ingredients. Friendly, professional service in a great location.

Excellent food great location. Staff were really friendly would definitely recommend especially Galway Muscles

Beautifully cooked scallops in my scallops and prawn tagliatelle. We shared the bread as a starter which was just as well as it was a generous ciabatta baguette , too much for one person. Portions are generous, we had no space for dessert

Great food. Friendly staff. Wonderful atmosphere. Excellent place to eat.

Enjoy the visit to Carverna, pizza was perfect and my other guests enjoyed their meals. Wine list impressive and service very good.
Thank you all at Carvena, We will call again!.

Food was fab, gorgeous wine and staff were really lovely. I will definitely be back!

A gem of a restaurant just a short walk from the middle of Temple Bar. Great food, great staff and great value for money. Will definitely be back.

The vegetable lasagna did not have any noodles, all veggies.

Also the place is quite smaller than the pictures portray.

The staff however was delightful!

Absolutely amazing! Amazing food! Brilliant location! And such lovely staff! Especially monkica who sang to our bride to be! I can't recommend this place enough! Will be there again and again whenever I'm in Dublin! Thank you sooooooo much!!!!!!!! Xxxx

Awesome place!!!
