I think this is one of the most underrated restaurants around, maybe because it’s at such a busy, touristy corner. Excellent pasta, pizza and dessert without excessive pricing. The small wine selection is very good.

Came here early solo after arriving overnight from the US. It was still early and very quiet. I had their draught pilsner, the stuffed squid starter, the gnocchi, and a side of seasonal greens (broccolini & green beans) with pistachio ice cream for dessert. All food, drink and service was very good. Recommended for a casual spot overlooking the Liffey.

Had a lovely meal here with 3 friends. The place itself is lovely and there's plenty of room as there's space both upstairs and downstairs. Typical Italian food which was delicious. 2 friends chose a red wine which was well priced and fantastic. I chose verdicchio which may not have been the best choice for me. Desserts were a little pricey so we opted out ( also we were all full as we'd shared an Antipasti for 4 which was gorgeous). My friend and I couldn't finish our delicious pizza so they bagged it for us and we brought it home. I'll definitely be back. here again!

We were in Dublin for 5 nights, traveling from the US. Had dinner at Wallace's twice. First night we both had pizza which was delicious! Second time I had gnocci made from green peas in a light sauce and my husband again had pizza. Again it was delicious. Reasonably priced. Reservations are recommended.
