Caverna Italian Restaurant and Wine Bar

Lovely meal, food is delicious. The restaurant was very noisy that night so was hard to fully enjoy and chat but couldn’t be helped by the restaurant themselves. Would definitely go back

Great location in temple bar, waitress was very pleasant , two courses at 19.90 excellent value for such a wide choice and good tasty well presented food. I went for lunch at 1pm so it was quiet but the music was playing in the background which allowed u to talk without being overheard. I would recommended this place with no hesitation.

Really lovely restaurant, my first visit but it won't be my last. The staff were really friendly and extremely pleasant, not at all pushy and gave us plenty of time to eat our meals and there was a nice amout of time between courses.

Were were a group of 8 people -and we all enjoyed our meal. We had a lovely square table with 2 on each side - meaning that everyone was in the conversation - which was lovely. The waiting staff were terrific - very patient with us as we took ages to decide every little thing.

We loved our food - loved our wine -and desserts were fab. We would have stayed all night - be eventually we had to leave......it was midnight!

Window seat with quiet Temple Bar street view, excellent service and food made for a great dining experience for two.

second time here. best italian food i’ve ever had. lovely staff. lgbt friendly.

Group of six had lunch before rugby match.
Lovely food and friendly servicd

Was early booking at .5.15 - quiet & cold in main restaurant
Good choice of food but no atmosphere here for early dining

Staff were brilliant. So friendly. Food was extremely tasty.

a tiny gem hidden amidst the bustling bars of temple bar. service was very good and food, well they are a good ambassador for Italian brand, fresh pasta, and cant get over my garlic prawn starter.

The staff are exceptional and made the evening special.

Delicious Italian food in the heart of the Temple Bar district! The minestrone soup was delicious and the calzone was not only enormous but stuffed with pepperoni and ham. You will not leave hungry nor dissatisfied...really pleased with our dinner!

Good place to eat, nice food, nice ambiance. Would recommend

Good food good drink nice location and staff. Easy to book a table in short notice

Waiters and hostess were excellent and added a little fun to the evening!

We had a lovely time sitting in the cellar itself downstairs. Service was fairly prompt and good - not intrusive. My husband enjoyed his pasta dish but I was disappointed in the quality of the Bolognese was not up to par. Tasted like plain hamburger.

Great food and extensive Italian wine selection

The restaurant is lovely, the food is amazing! All the staff are so friendly and attentive. I had an amazing time there!

Lovely meal and an enjoyable experience. Would recommend booking to anyone looking fur good food in a quietish area of Temple Bar area of Dublin

Very good. I thought the experiment overall was nice.

Nine of us were traveling together in Dublin. We got to the restaurant early, and were able to be seated downstairs (in the wine cellar, which is a brick arched room). The ambiance was very quaint and the space was quiet - we were able to hear each other and share each others impression of the city and its attractions. The matradee was very pleasant and very accomodating. Our waiter was prompt and attentive. We ordered drink and food, which arrived in a timely fashion. Everyone enjoyed their dinner and the experience. It was a special memory. I'd go back again.

Our table was downstairs. It was quite small but that seemed to add to the ambiance. Service and food quality good.

I have visited previously. It continues to serve good food. The atmosphere is friendly and the wine good.
I shall return. It is advisable to book at the weekend.

Good food. Good service. Good and friendly for vegan!

We were welcomed w a very upbeat hostess. She was very nice, and cheerful while she seated our party of 8. The food was tell timed and tasted great! We try to have Italian food everywhere we go. This was above what was expected for being in the Temple Bar area.

We were glad they were able to host a large party on a busy weekend in Dublin. We would definitely go back.

The staff is just amazing! I had dinner after the Portugal match in the World Cup, they understood my sadness and offered a glass of a fantastic prosecco! The food couldn’t be better

Wonderful food and service. Our first time to Dublin and wanted to change it up from Irish pub to Italian. Lovely server and downstairs dining was best! Hostess was so nice as well!

The best food at a reasonable price. Overall excellent

Amazing place ,really cozy, nice atmosphere. I will definitely be back a lot of times.

We had a lovely evening and really appreciated being moved downstairs when a "hen" party became very very loud. Staff were so helpful and good food.

We were visiting Dublin on holiday and did a little research online before selecting La Caverna for dinner. We are so happy we did, this was one of the best meals we had while in Ireland. The mussels were out of this world and that Mexican pizza....well...we'll be back if we are in Dublin again.
If you are looking for a change from the Irish pub scene and crave some Italian - give this place some serious thought. Excellent menu and the choices we had were excellent! Not to mention the wait staff were excellent - professional and friendly. Very cool design inside as we sat in the lower part of the restaurant which is the old cellar.

Service was great and food was outstanding. The mussels were especially good. Highly recommend Caverna.

Wonderful Italian meal at Caverna during our recent trip to Dublin. The service was excellent and the food was phenomenal.

We should have left after their bartender couldn't figure out how to make a Spritz. The food we ordered was serviceable, but totally bland. Pizza tasted out of a freezer.

I booked this place because of the underground vibe, seemed like a nice place for a date night with my partner. Sadly that charm is not present in all parts of the restaurant, as the table next to the window/cash register makes you feel like you're dinning in a hallway.

Food was first class. The rustic setting was beautiful. Waiting staff were very friendly but service slow and unfortunately we had to chase them for ordering etc which completely let the experience down. My impression was that they were understaffed but it wasn’t that busy either. Potentially an outstanding restaurant if this issue was ironed out.

My wife and I went while we were in Dublin for a long weekend from the US. Terrific food and very friendly service.

A group of 12 of us had a very pleasant evening meal with excellent food and service. We were accomodated upstairs in our own area on a single table, which worked very well for us (a noisy lot!) Thank you to the staff for an excellent evening of delicious pasta and other Italian favourites. The wines were also a good selection at reasonable prices. Two courses with beers and wine came to just over $40/person.

Loved the restaurant, the way it looked to the food, everything was great

The staff is so nice and accommodating. Food is wonderful!

Food was nice, place was clean, waitress was friendly although ,she kept mumbling italian sayings while serving us and interrupting our conversationI (stop trying too hard). I guess this place is what you would expect from a restaurant for that price. Would def come back for a casual dining again as location is also very handy.
