Both come finished with a bright yuzu dressing. This is Aperitivo done right at Layla's: good drinks, good food, and nowhere else to be. €26 per person | Includes a Mediterranean grazing board to share and one cocktail per guest.

    The Pizzas were disappointing vs last few times we were there. Base was bland and cheese seemed cheaper. Bring back the original !

    Layla’s is a staple and convenient restaurant now in Ranelagh and good food, views and service are all a part of it. We had a late booking for various reasons but I really felt the manager was pouring heavily determined to make sure the wine bottle was emptied as quickly as possible and his manner determined a discomfort though he appeared generally pleasant. The waiter on the other hand had been excellent and much calmer with his service.
    Layla’s Rooftop RestaurantResponded on 29 August 2026
    Hi Peter, Thanks a lot for taking the time to share your thoughts about Layla’s. Delighted you enjoyed the food, the views, and the overall service—we love hearing that! It’s also great to know our waiter made your experience more relaxed. Sorry to hear you felt a bit rushed with the wine at the end. That’s definitely not what we want for anyone, and we’ll have a chat with the team about striking a better balance. Your feedback really helps us keep improving and make sure everyone feels comfortable from start to finish. Hope you’ll drop by again soon—there’s always a spot for you at Layla’s! Cheers, Layla's Team

    Spectacular setting with panoramic views across the south city. Excellent service, very helpful, got us a window booth though there were only 2 of us. Food was very good, but the focaccia was spectacular, best I've ever had, especially with the delicious "cacio e pepe" butter with crispy guanciale bits which is extra but well worth adding. Prices are moderate. This food is much better than you'd expect for a hotel restaurant where you might worry that the main selling point would be the view.
