    Food was lovely and cocktails were good, but the service was shocking. Had to try and get the attention of waiter everytime. For a drink, for dessert menus and even had to ask twice for the bill. Was made feel as if we were bothering the waiter. Would of loved to have a few more cocktails but only to managed to catch him once and wasn't the best experience so ended up only getting 2 cocktails. The Caesar salad was lovely as was the tiramisu but the service really let the whole experience down, got the bill and left to go somewhere else to get a drink with better service.

    A fab place for dinner and drinks, especially now around Christmas! The only downfall is it is slightly chilly with being in such an open space so something small to be mindful of!

    First, I really liked this restaurant overall. I had a good vibe and very nice decor. And the staff were super friendly, fun and attentive. Drinks were also very good. We (couple) ordered two appetizers with the intent to then split one pizza. The calamari was great. It came in big thick rings with just the right amount of light batter. The portion was too much for us to finish. Our second appetizer was the fried mozzarella which was also fantastic. If you can have such a thing as gourmet fried cheese, this was it. Okay, now the not so good. We did not enjoy the pizza whatsoever. We ate one half of one slice each and gave up. It honestly wasn’t worth the calories to keep eating. The pizza came out way too quick and the dough was quite chewy. There was very little sauce and little cheese. I know the type of pizza they were going for, but it fell far short for us. It was actually cold before we could even finish our half a slice. As much as we didn’t like it, I will say that the two meats and spices they put on the pizza were plentiful and tasted very good. It was more the dough and lack of cooking/sauce/cheese that turned us off. I would certainly go back to this restaurant the next time we’re in Dublin, but I would try some of the other entrees rather than the pizza. Or make a meal out of several of the appetizers. As stated above, the appetizers/starters were great.

    Visually stunning, fast and friendly service. Ordered mushroom ravioli, which didn’t really have much filling (quite flat) so didn’t really taste of mushrooms. The sauce was a bit of a non event, also. Margherita pizza was nice, went cold quite quickly. Did ask for a side salad off menu, which was huge with a garlic dressing and tomatoes. The cocktail and pizza offers are good value for money. Would recommend for those.

    We were first seated in the wrong restaurant, the Pygmalion bar, and were treated quite rudely there, after 15 minutes we noticed we had been sat in the wrong place and moved to little pyg. Wouldn’t recommend if you have allergies, specifically nut and peanut. One member of staff said ‘is it severe? We are not allowed to serve you if it is.’ Someone else then spoke to the chefs making pizza and they said I would be fine. We just got pizza and a cocktail. The cocktail was nice but the pizza felt very overrated for the price / reputation. The mozzarella turned hard very fast. Overall, very mediocre rather than brilliant, and disappointing for an important anniversary meal which we hoped would be something special.

    The restaurant was very cold would be nice to have blankets given as most of the table had to keep their jackets or scarfs on. Very slow service we got our food before drinks. Food was okay more of good place for just drinks with a nice vibe with a DJ.

    Went a little pig for a wedding anniversary and was not disappointed. A small hiccup with the starter was quickly rectified. The food was unreal Pizza definitely deserves a Michelin star it was amazing. We tried most of the cocktails and we couldn’t fault anyone at the most thing we were impressed by was the service all the order. All the white staff were very attentive about tonight and couldn’t help you anymore. Definitely recommend this place as I go to for a night out.

    This is my 3rd time here and the food and drinks are always good. Unfortunately the service has been extremely poor anytime I’ve been here. No one ever comes over to check if you want to order anything else you constantly have to chase down the waiters to order. The table next to me asked 3 times if they could order drinks and were told another person had to do it so were left waiting for about 15/20 minutes to even order a drink. If I were them I would have left and gone somewhere else that actually pay attention to their customers. Sadly this is not a once off and the service is poor on every visit

    Pizza was soggy and drowned in tomato sauce, there was only a small bit of cheese and it was congealed in the one place. Garlic bread was okay, was getting mouthfuls of crispy mixed herbs which wasn’t the nicest. Won’t be rushing back not worth the time or money.
