We came here probably 10 times, also brought in our friends, but this time it was way worse. 1) The prosciutto and funghi pizza did not have prosciutto, but ham. 2) Fried broccoli was neither fried, nor broccoli 3) Service was slow to deliver (drinks ordered arrived after mains, also we had to wait too long to order) and fast to attempt to kick us out (after additional order of drinks AND another order of espresso, when we indicated that for the next while we would like to finish consuming the drinks on table before ordering anything else, we received a bill that nobody asked for...). Not one star as pizza dough and wine was good as always, also we received discount, but the food was not as described, and we were not made to feel welcome.
Wallace's AstiResponded 2 days agoPhil, thanks for your feedback 1) prosciutto e funghi pizza is made with prosciutto = cooked ham and funghi=mushrooms, so prosciutto and ham are exactly the same product just in two different languages 2)we don't have broccoli on our menu, we have panfried friarielli 3)the bill was brought to you by mistake, the waitress apologized to you on the same night Basically you are writing a 2-star review based on the fact that a 20years old Italian waitress brought the bill when was not asked :)

Food and service was impeccable; mum and me both had the lasagna, haven't tasted one more delicious till then. Ambience was good, Christmas decorations definitely helped. Tiramisu was light and very tasty, would definitely come back again! Thank you for the nice evening and great food.

My favourite pizza in Dublin in possibly the coziest restaurant in Dublin. Staff are always very friendly and ready to help. You feel you are being taken care of from start to end. Food is great, and so is the unfiltered Ichnusa, but you have to try the espresso as well.

Very nice resturant, but little slip ups that had me questioning on authenticity. Executive Chef supposedly sardinian but some of the main geographical dishes highlighted on menu had huge slip ups on basic Italian cooking. Lovely atmosphere and the service staff are exceptionally friendly and welcoming. Dishes on pricier side considering errors but overall still enjoyable dining experience. Cannot fault the choice of wine and the pizzeria though exceptional.

My favourite italian restaurant in Dublin. Fresh products, past taste like if you were in Italy. Actually they produce every dish with products from sardegna to make it feel like you scape for an hour over there with that incredible taste. We will be back trying every dish. Malloreddus pasta is amazing and maybe my favourite. But i still needing to try more. Pizza is amazing and risotto unbelievable too. Better to book before you go so you are sure that you can eat. Anyway staff is amazing, so the will help you to enjoy your dinner and your choice.
