This is hands down the best Italian restaurant I've ever experienced in Dublin, and I've been…read moreliving in Dublin for over fifty years. I always bring overseas visitors here as it's a guaranteed great meal. I've never had a bad food experience here. The ambiance is lovely and the only downside to this restaurant is that it isn't larger. Its small size puts time pressure on both staff and patrons. I would give it four stars for that reason if I could bring myself to, which I can't because the food's too good! :) My advice to patrons would be to book a table at IL Vicoletto outside of the weekend dinner evening rush. The homemade pasta is an experienced to be savored, especially if you order the wild boar ragu.

We ordered two glasses of Barbera wine as our cocktail, followed by calamari, pappardelle al funghi and ravioli Asiago. The wine was perfect and complimented our meal. Our server Massimo brought out some bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar to start our meal. The calamari was amongst the best I've ever had, the breading was light and crispy. Both our pasta dishes were divine and authentic. At the end of our meal we had some espresso and were given complementary limoncello shots. Il Vicoletto was amongst the best restaurants we visited during our trip to Dublin. I highly recommend for anyone looking to eat great Italian food.

A great restaurant in the area, nice ambiance and tasty pastas!!…read more I was here for a takeout late on a Friday night. There were still 2-3 tables occupied. So, I just grabbed a seat at the bar and started looking for my options. Most of the items on the menu were not vegetarian, so I had limited options. I ordered the linguine primavera without the mushrooms (yes, I dont eat mushrooms as well). The taste was amazing, like it! Definitely worth a visit if you're around the area.

First of all the staff in here are just the nicest people ever, they make you feel completely comfortable and aim to please in every way. The food in here is delicious too, the menu is not huge but I think this is a good thing because I think I would spend hours trying to decide if it was. In a way this restaurant is a bit of a hidden gem in dundrum because it is not inside the shopping centre complex and you are unlikely to just walk by it if you wandered away from the confines of the town centre. I think I have just let out another secret of Dundrum that I might regret, oops!

Surprised this place isn't reviewed yet, its a lovely Italian restaurant near Dundrum Town Centre…read more Its shown on the map as being way out but its actually right beside the traffic lights at the crossroads in Dundrum village. Anyway, its a small little restaurant but the food is really nice, great portions, reasonably priced, staff very friendly and attentive (e.g. taking our wet coats) without being in your face which can happen in some places that are small/quiet. I think this should be more popular unless its like a little secret then sorry but I dont want it to close down or anything! Oh it does a yummy Tapas menu as well, Patatas Ali-Oli mmmmm....

This place shocked me!…read more I found San Lorenzo's via Yelp, so thank you Yelpers! It is one of the few places in Dublin that takes American Express cards. So you can leave home without it when you come here When we asked if they had a table they said only if you are up from the table in an hour. We were hungry so we agreed The environment is dark and tasteful and lively The wine list is not good, but the food and the staff make up for everything The avocado and caprese salad was awesome The shrimp in wine sauce was off the charts delicious The chicken breast wrapped in prosciutto was delicious and the polenta and creamed corn were spectacular The monk fish wrapped in crispy pancetta on a bed of pesto basil was amazing To top it off we had the Nutella cheesecake with Carmel sauce and gelato with biscotti crumbs on top- this was surreal!!! All this and we were done with all the food, a bottle of wine and cappuccinos in an hour and never felt rushed If you are in the mood for Italian food, come to San Lorenzo's

After finishing the starter, it took a bit too long for the main dish to come out. Once it did come out, we were kind of full from the first dish. The wife for the Zucchini Primvera.

Also the panzerotti with the bright green spinach sauce will knock your socks off. The tiramisu is wonderful, but we are partial to one that is served on a plate.

It was located in a different area than most of the bars, so it wasn't the typical tourist restaurant. I ended up ordering the seafood cannelloni on my first visit and I was blown away by the rich flavors. The food was cooked perfectly and plated very nicely. We enjoyed the food so much that we came back a second day for dinner and I got a flatbread, which was easily as amazing. I am docking two stars from this establishment because the service needs significant improvement. On both visits we seemed to be swapped between several waitresses and all were very gruff. This was the only place I went to in Ireland where the staff was not friendly. I hope they work on how they treat customers. The food was hands down the highlight of this restaurant.

The service is very friendly, the atmosphere is casual and the food is delicious. We ordered the seafood pasta and the tortellini, a seafood starter and eggplant starter. Daily specials were announced by a waiter with a microphone which was hilarious considering the place had about 5 or 6 tables. Diners celebrating birthdays were treated to an enthusiastic rendition of happy birthday by the staff (one wearing a chicken head!). We ended our zany delicious dining experience with limoncello and were given notice that the place needed to be cleared for 9pm seating. The regulars know the drill, the place cleared out just before 9 as the 9pm diners were waiting outside. Make reservations!!! Also highly recommend you call earlier to confirm your res, and show up promptly otherwise you may lose your table. This is not a pretentious place, pretentious people should give it a miss, their loss!!

Book in advance because the place is very cosy! Amazing authentic Italian food lovingly prepared. The staff all seem to really enjoy their jobs and take pride in their work. Our first trip here took place on a sunny Saturday. We were on the way to Avoca for lunch but thought we'd check to see if we might get lucky with That's Amore. We were in luck! The outdoor tables were unoccupied so we sat in the sun drinking chilled white wine and chatting. We had the bruschetta to start which was just perfect. Delicious juicy tomatoes, fresh crusty bread and a little basil and balsamic. I had the prawn and courgette pasta which was perfect. Balanced flavours and tasty pasta. He had the tortellini with a creamy tomato sauce. It took all of our self control not to lick our plates clean. Thankfully we had been brought some of their garlic and rosemary focaccia to mop it all up. Yum! We were pretty full but the dessert menu was just crying out to us. We had the strawberries and cream which had some meringue in it too. The erect end to our meal. It felt like we could have been in Italy! If you can't get a reservation, don't despair! You can get the food to go as well. The pizzas are also fantastic. Really thin and crispy. Absolutely massive but so good that you won't be able to stop eating!
