Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Average italian food, nothing excepcional. Be careful if they offer you a limonccelo, it seems a cortesy, but each shot is almost 7 €. A shame.

The starters came suspisiously quick. Had riseballs and there was mossarella mixed not as center and all u taste is the garlic sause salat nice. The calimari was with the skin. Salman looked good but really without taste. The cannilonni was clearly precooked and then...fresh tomatos ontop and heated with ripped chees the pasta overcookes and sause under. We got the wine of the house that was ok for mw not to be fresh cause less sour but there was no smell of the wine. And for the prise the quality should be better. We declined a dessert and got out of there. Over crouded honestly. And honestly never been given a mentol candy when leaving a reaustarant..as to clear my mouth of bad taste? The service was good but for italian food its minus 10.More

We had eaten in this restaurant about a year ago. Very disappointed this time around. Food came far too quickly. Had booked for 7pm and dinner finished by 8pm. Worst Aperol Spritz I ever had. I might as well have asked for a slushy. Over...priced for what it isMore

Manager not prepared to accommodate my partner at 6.0 on a Monday evening. Unfortunately she is unable to eat adult portions of food due to health reasons but the manager just basically said that he would not be prepared to offer my partner a kids...menu and would only offer a full price meal. We tried to reason with him but he said that it’s management policy. His loss to be honest as I would have had two coursss at least in his restaurant that was nowhere near busy on an early Monday evening.More

Toscana is a lively restaurant just west of the congested Temple Bar area. We arrived without reservations on a Thursday evening and received one of the last open tables, seated by a somewhat grumpy maitre d’. The crowd seemed local, a good sign. It’s an...attractive space but noisy; it was difficult to hear conversations from across the table until the high-decibel crowd thinned out. We were served by a variety of wait staff who in contrast to the maitre d’ were friendly. I ordered the vegetarian lasagna (19.95 €, served with a house salad) which was delicious. My partner was pleased with his cannelloni carne (a generous portion, 20.95 €). With two beers, the tab was only 55 €. Dining here is not an elegant experience but it’s a great stop for a casual dinner.More

We visited before a show in the olympia and had the pre-theatre menu. Brushetta was amazing, as was the Tagliatelle with chicken and mushrooms. Desert of Profiteroles was so tasty. We had Rossini to drink which was so tasty. Service was fantastic. Def need to...book as it was very busy and a def sign of how good the food is. This restaurant was recommended to me and I will def be back.More

Lovely dinner for our first night in Dublin. The staff is very attentive and was so kind to accommodate us without a reservation. We sat downstairs in a quiet section to enjoy our delicious meal. Nice for families. We will return on our next visit!

It was our first night in Dublin and we were undecided on where to go to eat. I found this restaurant and straight away their menu looked delicious. The food was just as expected- I got the prawns in a chilli, tomato, garlic and prawn...bisque. It was absolutely delicious, one of the best prawn dishes I’ve had! If I was to come back to Dublin, I’d make sure to come here again, there was so many other things I wanted to try!More

We returned from a day tour to Cliffs of Moher and were staying at a hotel in the Temple Bar district. We didn't get back until around 8:30pm. Fun fact we didn't know about Dublin is alot of restaurants close at 8pm or 9pm. Thankfully...we stumbled across Toscano's and it was open! The employees were so friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere was perfect. And most importantly, our food was delicious. I had the lasagna and my daughter had the pizza. Both were incredible. Highly recommend!More
