The pasta was good and service was excellent. Unfotunately we were seated near two groups of 10-12 people which made for a very high noise level. Probably wouldn’t have been as loud otherwise

We have eaten in Wallace Taverna before and it did not disappoint on our return visit. The food was excellent, we shared a board with meats, cheese and vegetables, the bruschetta was the best I’ve ever had. Pizza, pasta and salad mains were all excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful, service was excellent. Can’t fault a thing!

Excellent server, friendly, efficient, personable, great rapport. Recommended the crab ravioli to me which was delicious, the pork belly starter was out of this world, delicious wine and food. Would like to personally thank the waitress. I now cannot recommend this place enough and will definitely be back when I return to Dublin.

Been to this restaurant twice, the first time my boyfriend got this delicious lamb pasta and this second time I had to get it as well, unfortunately they didn’t have it available but the waitress recommended two amazing dishes, the staff is incredibly friendly, the atmosphere feels Italian and I doubt you’ll find one bad tasting plate of food in that restaurant. Would eat there 20 more times!

I am quiet a regular in this place , possibly the best pizza you can find in Dublin. The service is attentive and informal, nice beers, some nice wines too ... if you like cheeses go for "Tagliere Occelli" , you won't be disappointed ; Toffee and Pecan cheese cake, try that, is really Good . One of the very few places where you can have an espresso ( a real one ) after dinner , and you can also find some amari ( herbs licors ) .... I actually drink those only there , I am more for spirits usually . I have been always recomending Wallace's Taverna, I guess I'll keep doing it .

Firstly, we were placed on a table for two that seemed it had been set up for when the restaurant was busy, it was on its own, situated between the kitchen door, and a randomly placed light that was attached to a balustrade to clearly give our table some light, we had to endure a constant loud beeping sound from the kitchen to alert staff food was ready, which isn’t a pleasant experience. The food arrive very quick, but mine was very bland, and only warm. My partner did enjoy hers, but by this time I had had enough and just wanted to leave once the meal was complete. I personally wouldn’t eat here again
