My friend and I had a really nice meal here. The service was excellent, and Eugenio, Cian, and Giorgio were very attentive, and welcoming. They made us feel comfortable and well looked after throughout the evening. The food was delicious and we really enjoyed the atmosphere and would definitely come back again!

A fantastic addition to the Dublin dining scene. The service is warm and professional. The bathroom is the perfect amount of extra, it'll make sense when you visit 😉 Do not miss the arancini and meatballs they are perfection!! The agnolotti was superb.
