Il Primo, City Centre South
View more pictures »
Il Primo is one of the longest-established Italian restaurants in Dublin's city centre. For over a decade, Il Primo has been serving rustic Italian food paired with some of the best wines that Tuscany has to offer. Most of its wines are imported directly to Il Primo and cannot be found anywhere else in Ireland. The restaurant is located in a romantic period house, which has been converted into a lively, homely bar area and a cosy and intimate dining room, located five minutes from St. Stephen's Green. The emphasis throughout Il Primo is on providing some of the finest wines from Tuscany with a range of simple and delicious Italian dishes in the heart of Dublin.

Had brunch in Il Primo with a gang of friends on Sunday. The place was lovely, chilled and relaxed. I had the roast lamb which was cooked to perfection - crispy and pink. I was jealous of my pals steak and eggs but the raclette topped rosti was the big hit. We will make this a regular haunt on Sundays. Going back soon.

We had our office Christmas dinner here. Very few of my colleagues have been and were pleasantly surprised. The game lasagne was nice, but a bit dry and not up to the usual pasta standard. The risottos however, were excellent. Although I don't like boozy tiramisu's, this could have done with more alcohol. The service was good.

I went back to Il Primo to give it a second chance, but it was disappointing like the first time. The staff was ok and friendly enough in a busy night, the place was dark and cold. We got a grill vegetable salad, (small, not enough dressing or vegetables) and a seabass fillet that said on the menu pan fried, wich it was not, was baked in the oven with no seasoning, cold and served on a cold plate. Food is disappointing in a restaurant with such a reputation, and I will not be back in this restaurant.
