I've eaten here about three times over the last year or so. The first couple of times were with a group of friends and the last time was with my husband. The staff are always friendly and service very good. The food is fine, its nice but nothing special. The portion sizes are large but the quality can be average. I had chicken for the main course and it was a bit dry and chewy. But because the atmosphere is nice and the staff lovely it was an enjoyable evening.

I've been to paparazzi many times and it never fails to impress. i like the fact that there is free parking around the back and the atmosphere is always warm. I went for a bite to eat last Friday with two friends and it was probably the best visit I ever paid the restaurant and I was delighted as my friends had never been before. The host and staff were so friendly, they couldn't have done enough for us. We didn't have starters we had mains and dessert, I ordered the chicken emiliano with pasta and salad which was piping hot and delicious, the portion size was great. I ordered banoffi pie for dessert which was heavenly. We were given a round of drinks on the house following our meal which was a nice touch and the host came by to have a little chat with us in between courses which was lovely. On Friday there was a live spanish guitar player which was nice to listen to. The bill was only 60 euro between the three of us which was great value for money for mains, dessert and drinks (wine). I'll definitely be going back to paparazzi soon as it is always reliable in good value for money, quality food and great service.

can't be beat, starter and main and a genorous glass of wine for under a tenner. Food excellent service friendly, relaxed atmosphere one of my favourite places for lunch. my favourite is pan seared chicken fillet in a mushroom cream sauce.

I have been here for lunch during the week a number of times. Great value (2 courses plus a drink for 9.99) and good food, your always stuffed leaving. Last time I had to bring half my pizza home with me! Staff are always friendly too.

We went to Paparazzi for a family birthday. We had not booked and got a table on a Fri evening without a problem. My starter - soup arrived promptly but it was only warm and not hot. My main course was very, very disappointing. The menu described it as chicken 'stuffed' with parma ham and basil. What actually arrived was two chicken fillets, one with a piece of parma ham wrapped around it and a piece of basil plonked on top!! Quite tasteless and disappointing and nothing like the menu described. This is the second time we have been disappointed there and won't be going back. On the upside the service and atmosphere were good but the food is what you go for and it badly lets the place down.

Went here as was given a voucher as a present. The restaurant is clean and bright, however it was only half full at 8pm on a Friday evening so was lacking a little in atmosphere. I ordered the chicken wings to start and the steak as my main and my fiance ordered the soup (veg) and a pasta and chicken dish for main. The chicken wings were very bland and devoid of flavour, the steak was cooked perfectly to order, I did however has to wait 5 minutes to get the chips that I ordered with it. Having to remind the server that they hadnt brought them out. My fiance said that both her dishes were nice. Overall the food was ok and given the menu pricing was fair value for money. Its the kind of restaurant Id suggest you go to on a whim just because you couldnt be bothered cooking your dinner but not one I'd reccomend for a special meal or celebration.

my partner and I went here for lunch on a saturday afternoon,we seen a sign outside the door offering a good early bird menu but when we tried to order we were told it doesnt apply to weekends. the place was very quiet(4 other people) we were given a jug of water as we were seated which was a good thing as when we ordered our food we were not offered any drinks, the food was fast enough to come to the table but unfortunatly it wasnt very good. there was no atmosphere as there was no music playing.

We booked a table for 5 at last minute on Sunday night. We arrived on time and were seated immediately. Staff very nice and attentive. Service was prompt and friendly. Food delicious. We were celebrating my son's birthday and he was given a free bottle of beer. Really lovely night very impressed. Will definitely be back.

My friends told me about the Paparazzi lunch menu in which they thought it was very reasonable so I went to try it for my first time last Saturday. Thought the staff were lovely and they even told me to be careful of my parked car as they knew the times the clampers come which made me constantly nervous throughtout my meal!. On the other hand the soup was delish but a bit watered down and the chicken in mushroom sauce served with chips is just a favourite!. However my friend had the brushetta which was bland and soggy and she had the pizza which had a strange texture. The cheese seemed like it was cheap and turned hard when it began to cool down. However I definately would return

Loved this place. The staff were so weloming, recommeded some beautiful dishes when I was unsure what to order. Efficient and the atmosphere was nice and calming after a hard days work. Very local and I always look forward to going here!

Been here a few times can never fault this place. This is a great little spot for family get togethers and big groups. It offers good and constant quality - not fine dining by any stretch but we never had a bad meal there. We part of a group and everything went well from service to food standard. Would recommend this restaurant but would probably choose other places first

very average food and very slow service..all this in a quiet friday night............i might give it a second chance another night

Booked a family celebration here recently. Really couldn't fault anything. It had been some time since we had ate here and the place has been re-decorated. The service was excellent considering there was 18 of us in the party. The staff were very attentive. The food was excellent as we had always experienced here. Would not hesitate to return or make further reservations. A great night had by all.

4 of us went here after a day of wedding dress shopping, given the good humour and the fact that we had had a few drinks beforehand it should have been easy enough to please us,however it was disappointing. Only one type of wine was available, and the food wasn't great. I had meatballs to start which were only alright, my companions had the mushrooms which were good and the caprese which was also good. Mains should have been easy enough to get right, I had a meat pizza, not great, another had pizza with olives feta & spinach, also not great, the seafood pasta was good apparently. Overall the food was really miserable, and the service not much better, we were there 30 minutes before order was taken, ended up going to cash register to get bill ourselves as we knew we'd be waiting ages. Was our first time in a local restaurant, I won't be going back.

Myself and my husband went here last night for dinner. We did not have a reservation but got a seat no problem. I ordered the chicken and ham crostini and i was given a garlic bread with cheese so that to start was a bit disappointing, my husband had the tomato and cheese brushetta and it was yummy, i ordered the Pollo Emilliana for main, the chicken was smuthered in the pink sauce which was in actual fact jst a tomato based sauce, All in all was a disappointing visit and pretty sure we wont be returning..

I ate here the other day with my mum and we had lovely food. We ordered from the early bird menu and we were very happy with it. Every time Ive been here I've been welcomed at the door by what must be the manager. A very nice touch.

Visited here on Saturday evening. Every member of staff greeted us on arrival.We were given plenty of time to order food with a good selection on the menu to order.Food and wine were really good, generous portion sizes also.There was a very good atmosphere in the restaurant. I would certainly go back whether for a family occasion or a bit of food with the girls.

Went back for my sons 20th birthday its surprising how the year goes. we were met by a lovely waitress a lovely pitcher of water was to follow as we looked through the menu My sons friend and myself went for the early bird with starters of prawns and avocada salad my god what a big portion but lovely to follow creamy riscotto hum!! My son had soup minestrone and pizza for his mains he woofed it down all three left very satisfied and loved our experience highly recommend especially for the price in these recessionery times very good value.

I have been to this restaurants several times before and it has so far failed to disappoint.I went again with my girlfriend and drove down and left the car overnight in carpark at no extra cost. I ordered the cheese bruchetta and girlfriend had the mussels which were both lovely. For the main i had the surf and turf which i always do and steak cooked perfect med rare adn the best pepper sauce there is, girlfriend had penne gamberi and again cooked perfect all washed down with a bottle of Pinot, Over all a great night had again and i fully recommend it to anyone

A great experience, and great value. I had the Anti Pasto to start, which was a meal in itself, my partner had the bruchetta which of course I sampled and was delightful, fresh and refreshing. For mains, my partner had the Pollo Broccoli Tagliatelle which she enjoyed immensely, very balanced and not too rich. I had the lamb cutlets which were succulent and cooked to perfection. We ordered a carafe of house white to start and decided to have a second. The atmosphere was a lovely light buzz with good balanced background music, later a musician played some easy listening swing type music which heightened the buzz. On request of the bill we were offered a complimentary glass of wine which was a lovely touch. The staff are brilliant, very attentive without being in your face, always smiling. The wash-room was spotless which is always a good sign. All in all, a great night, great value and great food. We shall be regulars me thinks.

I have been to this restaurant several times with various groups, family and friends. On this occasion my husband, 2 children and I had a meal just as the restaurant had opened for the evening. We were the only diners at the time and the staff were friendly and attentive. We ordered pizza and two children’s meals of chicken nuggets and chips. Our pizzas were tasty and hot, I would have liked a little more of the tomato sauce on the base though. The children barely ate their meals, I tasted the chicken to see if there was a problem and I'm sorry to say they were really really bad. The nuggets were made from reformed grizzly chicken bits and covered in a greasy hard coating. I would not give this food to a dog it was that bad. It’s a shame that the adults food was made from fresh ingredients and the children were served a questionable chicken? dish. I spoke to the manager and asked that he taste the nuggets himself and suggested that he should find a fresher supplier. As a family restaurant I would expect that the children’s food would be a high standard also. Hopefully the nuggets won't be served again but I'm not sure If I would take a chance and go back again. A pity really.

Crowded place, full of locals and returning patrons; an excellent sign. A bit rough and ready, like a 50's dinner. I wanted to treat my girlfriend to an Italian (her favourite) yet not have to travel too far. I had read about Paparazzi on MenuPages and decided to give it a try. The portions are generous which I appreciate greatly. We had no problems having a pleasant conversation even though the place was positively buzzing. The Bruschetta was not quite up to the basic requirements; poorly executed. The Manzo (Strips of beef cooked in a spicy fresh tomato sauce with olives and onions) was a piece of heaven, even though it wasn't particularly spicy, Yet the flavours were wonderful. My girlfriend went for the Tagliatelle Pollo Broccoli which was somewhat tasteless in my opinion, though she was happy. I thoroughly enjoyed my Linguine Seafood (prawns, calamari, mussels, cockles, in a garlic and tomato sauce; you can go for creamy white wine sauce instead). To wash it all down we had 2 bottles of Chablis; suited the food well. Despite the place being choc-a-bloc the service was attentive and friendly; a definite plus and another good reason to come back. We had the pleasure of enjoying a liqueur on the house too (I know, I know a common ploy these days though I appreciated it nonetheless). Regarding value, provided the right dishes are chosen the value is very good. We will definitely return.

Without a doubt Paparazzi is myself and my boyfriend's favourite restaurant in Dublin. Food is of great qulaity and the price and service match this 100%. Our latest visit here was Saturday nite on Valentines weekend and you expect the meal to be rushed as it was so busy but this was not the case at all. For starter's I had polpette meatballs which I would highly recommend and my partner had brocolli soup which he really enjoyed. For main course we both opted for the usual - pollo paparazzi which is chicken in a creamy sauce with brocolli and peppers. This is a firm favourite and although I'm always tempted t try something else I can't resist ordering this. I would definitely recommend Paparazzi to evryone - it suits all ages and even caters for parties.

I had eaten take-away from here before but thought that the food would be better when eaten in the restaurant...I wasn't wrong! Four of us went for dinner, the starters were all delicious - we had the meatballs, stuffed mushrooms, spicy chicken wings and garlic bread. The meatballs and stuffed mushrooms were amazing, definately ones to order! For main course we all ordered pasta, the pollo broccoli taglieateli was the nicest in my opinion! I'll definately be back - they have a very reasonable early bird menu! The staff were all beyond helpful and extremely friendly which really makes a difference to a dining experience!

Was here on a Friday night with the family and the place was really lively. We all really enjoyed the meal. I say WOW to the gamberetti and the calzone. Would return.

You wont beat this place for value and good food quality. We had a table for two last Saturday night, place was buzzing and very much alive. We ordered starters my partner had Manzo and I had polpette meat balls, we both tried eachothers and were both very tasty. I ordered the surf and turf for my mains and it is a man sized meal, gorgeous succulent prawns and fillet steak cooked to perfection - rare. My partner had the lamb cutlets and when they arrived there was a mountain of them on the plate. Great value, great food, we will be back again, again and again.

Two of us went back yet again for lunch. 9.95 for starter & mains including a glass of wine. We both had the soup to start which tasted Homemade, my friend had a steak Sandwich (supplement of 3.50 euro) and I had my usual Spaghetti Bolognese. While the food is not memorable it is great value for money, The atmosphere is good and greatly enhanced by the very pleasant staff. A truly good value – nice place for that quick or slow lunch.

Lunch time visit for a party of 10 from work. Very pleasant, bright and cheery restaurant. The place was buzzing. Our orders were taken quickly and the service was very good, prompt and friendly. The lunch time offer of €9.95 is terrific value - everybody was very pleased with the dishes they'd chosen. I had the Tagliatelle Alfredo - absolutely yummy, creamy and delicious. Will definitely be back here to try it out at night time. There's limited parking around the back, but if you're lucky enough to get a space, make sure you ask for your voucher at reception - you then place it on your dash where it can be seen. Having had a great lunch for under a tenner, you don't want to come out to a clamped car!

First time to visit and will certainly come back.We were there at lunchtime in a group of 12.The atmosphere was great the surroundings were delightful and the value was excellent.A 2 course meal with a glass of wine for €9.95.Great venue would love to go back in the evening when some live music is on the menu.

Cheap-ish & cheerful. I've eaten here 5 or 6 times. It's a middle of the road Italian restaurant. My fav dish is their meat-ball starter and most of the chicken mains are nice enough. The pizzas are also nice as you'd expect in an Italian but the sirloin steak is not great. It can be noisy at times. Overall, grand for a casual meal but I wouldn't recommend for a special occasion.

This is our 'quick hit' restaurant and we tend to go 2 or 3 times a month. The service is excellent, and the place is always buzzing. I've a wheat intollerance so tend to avoid Italian restaurants but here (although no gluten free meals) I've enough to choose from. I really love the food, try the Manzo starter as a main with a salad or baked potatoe - it's my favouriite. The hubby always goes for the pitza, which he loves, I get to smell it mmmm!! The only thing that lets them down are the deserts - their Tiramsu has changed recently, I've tried it twice - not so good. Overall a really great restaurant with a buzzing atmosphere, great for parties for any age group.

the service was the only good thing about this place. didn't like the food at all. my friend asked me come here in the first place and was raging i agreed. the pizza base was awful and slightly burnt, in saying that my friend enjoyed his meal.agree to disagree!

Went here for lunch with a group from work. I thought it was a great lunch deal - 10euro for starter, main and glass of wine. I had the crostini and lasagne. I was a bit disappointed with them though, as the crostini was a bit plain and i thought the lasagne might have come with salad or chips. But then I suppose for the amount you pay! The service was great also. It's a nice place to go for lunch but I don't think I'd go for dinner

Cheap, cheerful and tasty! Went here last night based on the good menu pages reviews looking for some tasty Italian fare and was very happy I did. I had stuffed mushrooms for starters which were delicious, although very very filling but was fine for me as I was starved. I had pizza for my main which was good too. Paparazzi is Italian comfort food, wholesome and plenty of it, so if your looking for that and very very reasonably priced wines and liquors to accompany the meal, then Paparazzi's offer exactly that! Anitpasto plate, stuffed mushrooms, Two pizzas, half a carafe of wine, two liminchellos came to 60 quid....very good value I think.

visited a few sundays ago and was very disappointed.apart from been the only customers in the place we were served cold tastless food.is it really that hard to sreve a hot pizza.my partner had a pasta which was luke warm and smothered in cream and what seemed to be microwaved bacon(no colour on the bacon).if its that hard to cook for two people i dread a full restaurant.final conclusion,we will not return

I love this restaurant and visit it on a very regular basis. Food is consistently good, my only problem is with the lasagne which appears to be frozen and then reheated. Other than that everything on the menu is excellent. The staff are excellent, so polite and attentive and it is excellent value. The restaurant is always buzzing. On my last visit I ordered the cheese and tomato bruschetta, the feta was amazingly fresh and there was so much of it. Absolutely delicious. For main course you must try the chicken and broccoli pasta, but be warned it is very filling. Great value and great atmosphere. Definitely recommend a visit.

Best Value in Dublin! I eat here regularly and struggle to find anywhere that offers the same quality of food and service for such a low price. The staff are very friendly and efficient. The lamb cutlets main course is easily my favourite dish in dublin (ask for pepper sauce on the side instead of the mint sauce).

Tried this place on a Saturday night.We had no problem getting a table and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful.The service was quick and efficient without being overly so.There was a nice atomosphere with just a nice number of people.The food was delicious and so was the price.Couldn't believe how reasonable it was.No, how cheap it was.Worth a visit for a cheap and cheerful meal.

Lunch menu excellent value for money Very big portions and friendly service, will go back for the lunch two courses and a glass of wine for 9.95 euro... hard to beat!

Have been here twice now and cannot recommend the place highly enough - great atmosphere, friendly staff, and more importantly the food is top class!. Cannot wait to go back.

went to paparazzi's last tuesday,having not high expectations,but......Food was good as it gets in every italian restaurant in ireland,maybe little bit better....The place was very busy,what receccion,but the service was very friendly and profesional.Me and 2 other friends end up paying 95 euro for 3 starters 3 main courses 2 desserts 3 very good esspressos and a bottle of a fantastic rioja that they had as wine of the month.Great value,great service.Will definetely be back.Soon.

This is my 2nd visit to Paparazzi and it was as good as ever. The only quibble I will have is that one of our parties steaks was overdone but they took it back straight away, no argument, apologised profusely and gave us free drinks at the end of the night so all was good. This wouldn't be a place to come to if you're looking for somewhere quiet and romantic but great for a group of people. Would definitely recommend it.

Definitely not a first date kinda place...I went here with my husband and 2 other couples. We arrived at 9.30 p.m. and the place was in full flow, there was a fantastic party atmosphere that really suited our group. You definitely need to be in the humour for this place as you need to speak loudly and the waiters are a bit cheeky. For starters I had the tomato bruschetta which was very tasty but portion was too big for me personally. I had the penne arrabiata for my main which was very nice and also a big portion. I didnt have dessert but one of the guys had tiramasu and raved about it. It worked out €75 per couple which included wine and coffees - we were happy enough with this and they gave us all a free shot at the end which was a nice touch. So all in all I enjoyed the food and atmosphere and would return with a group of people!

Went here with a group of friends for dinner and it was fine, but nothing special. The food was quite average - pizza and pasta etc but nothing outstanding. The service is good though. The staff are really nice and the manager was great craic. We left full and happy - it's not fine dining but it's a decent spot

We held our family meal here after my sons confirmation.They had a set menu but it was no problem to use the lunch menu which we all did and all 11 of us were more than happy with our meal as usual and the service could not have been better- they asked us several times if everything was ok and when there was a slight delay with my sister's pizza due to a small mistake with the order they brought her a glass of wine without even asking did she want it, now thats good service and it was very good value also.

Lovely restaurant! Nice food (at a decent price - very important these days!), helpful and genuinely pleasant staff - would definitely recommend it to anyone! We are a family of four and we had the lamb cutlets, penne gamberi, steak and a pizza - all delicious! Starters were nice too (we had the stuffed aubergine and the beef one), although wider choice would have been welcome. The same goes for desserts although both the banoffi and tiramisu were divine! This was our first time in Paparazzi (new to the area!) but we would be definitely returning very soon! Anna, John, Thomas and Elsa

I have been here more times than i care to remember and it has been completely average on every occasion. Staff or service was never anything to write home about. Atmosphere and decor are just about OK.Mushrooms for starters are a definite and pizza is a safe bet. The last few occasions we complained, firstly about a medium fillet steak that was undercooked and cold in the middle. Mushrooms and onions with any steak are €2.95 each!!!!! My Girlfriend was given garlic dip in some unusual container that looked as if it should be holding soap in a toilet and had dirt caked on it, when we complained to the management they avoided us for the remainder of the evening.Find it way to expensive for what they offer. Wont be back!

Food was reasonably good. Service was also reasonably good, it was busy so all staff were very busy. I was unaware that there would be live music and this was a lovely surprise, really felt like I was on holidays! Definitely go again for the music, pity it's only on one night a week

Had a lovely meal for my sons conformation with all my family. found the staff were very attentive and friendly the food was very nice and served promptly. I would defiantly call back to this eatery and would recommend it.

Yet another fantastic value Italian eatery. Paparazzi does a great lunch for next to nothing and in the evenings offers a great night out. Early evening is really for families and the staff are very good to the kids. It always has a crowd and the reasons are obvious - nice atmosphere, friendly staff and terrific value

It was my mums 50th birthday last weekend, and we booked a table for 9 of us at paparazzi.I cannot praise this wonderful restaurant enough. The service was faultless,food delicious and prices were very reasonable. I opted for the bruschetta with feta cheese for a started and the sirloin steak with pepper sauce for my main, I have never tasted a steak as juicy or tasty in my life. Everyone enjoyed their starters and mains.I cannot wait to return, as everyone had a wondeful night and thoroughly enjoyed the food and atmosphere. 11 out of 10 for the place!

Great place to eat out with the whole faimly young and old.went there for my sons birthday kids loved the pizzas i loved the chicken dishes. Great buzz on friday night with live music great for girls night out good wine to.

had dinner hear last night with my boyfriend.Nice meal portions were nice and big i couldnt finish my carbonara. will definatly be going back again

i dont know where to start, the food is amazing, i would highly recommend the meat balls, and the minestrone soup, all the pasta and pizzas are fab. the staff are great, really friendly place to bring kids and great for a large group.

great value lunch menu. Starters are very big so consider that when you are ordering them, but i love huge portions so that was fine by me!

I only ever go to this restaurant for Lunch so I cannot comment on the evening menu, but what I can is recommend their lunch, It is great value at a very good price, starter & Main for under €10. I've had the pizza recently and I was very pleased with the standard, full of flavour. Their starters are a little big but that is a good complaint... If you're in the templeogue area I would definitely advise you test the food for yourself..

This place is very VERY loud. I've been here a few times and it does depend on when you go. It seems to be popular with really large groups of people who all try to talk over one another. I went with mine and my boyfriend's parents and we could hardly have a conversation with the noise. The service can also be quite rude, which I'm not surprised at seeing as it's so hectic and loud in there. The food, however, is lovely. The antipasto starter is like a meal in itself! I've had seabass and pasta dishes here before and really couldn't complain about anything. Have always left this restaurant full and satisfied - if a little deaf!

Went here in august, thought the food was excellent but my boyfriend had a pizza and said it was not great. We will definitely go back but he wont be having pizza!! Thought the staff were great except one girl who forgot our drinks and then forgot that we asked for the bill too! Otherwise i would recommend it.

Went here with a gang of 6 kids and two adults. Staff were so friendly and nice even with the racket the kids were making. Food was nice and the kids got a great kick out of the kiddy dessert. A bit overpriced for a chocolate egg with a bit of icecream but they loved it. Coffee wasn't great. But overall it was fine. Would go back.

Fantastic, great food really friendly staff, great with kids. Food is wonderful, live music is great. The Manzo starter is filling but worth picking something smaller for mains just to fit it in.

the food is great value for money, theres a great choice on the menu to suit all diners. The staff are brilliant they really made the night with their good banter!! will definately be returning

The food was delicious and extremely fresh tasting. Will be going back!

Had lunch here on Tuesday.Great value.Quck friendly service,(thanks Mona)Lovely menu..great starter...really..best Value in area..Not over priced Pub Grub..Well worh a visit.Cant wait till we call again for the Jazz Night

Came here for 1st time in years, was really impressed with the food and service, although the atmosphere was terrible. There was a big gang of young girls, making noise for our whole meal. I would return but maybe not so early in the evening.

Had a very enjoyable Sunday lunch here. Quality of food was excellent and there was no problem when we asked could we take home some leftovers. This was just so we could have more room for dessert as the tiramsu and cheesecake were delicous!! The staff were vry attentive and helpful with children. Will definitely go back again.

Have been here twice so far, once with my boyfriend and once with a family group for a birthday. Would recommend for both occasions. Food is lovely, and can't praise the staff highly enough. Thoroughly enjoyable!

We went here for my birthday recently and I was really impressed by how vibrant and friendly the whole place was. The service was very fast and the waiter was really charming. Not sure if I would recommend it for a romantic dinner for two though, its probably better for large parties.

I ate here recently as part of a group of 10. Have to say the service was superb! 2 of our party arrived 20 mins late and there was no issue at all. The menu is quite broad for a small place like this and the atmosphere was great. The food was good enough, for the price definitely above average. I will look forward to returning.

Been twice for Sunday celebrations with some family, and it’s been really nice. The salmon was really good, very well seasoned. Not necessarily hip and happening here, but its good food with pleasant service making for a relaxing afternoon. Make sure you get your parking pass though because the parking lot attendants clamp, and fast!

I brought my wife along with her parents for dinner for her birthday & had a great nite.4 starters,4 main courses, 3 deserts & half a dozen beers between & the meal was only €152.00.Well recommended it.Food is beautiful

Good Italian food. I had a pizza and my girlfriend went for pasta. Both were nice. Will try again!

Ate here in January with friends. There were 10 of us for a small birthday celebration, and we certainly went to the right place! There must have been 6 other birthday party's there and the atmosphere was electric. Service was fantastic and always with a genuine smile, the food was superb and great value for money. All in all a great night and we will definitely be back.

Ate here with family a few weeks ago and it was really great; I had the Tagliatelle Pollo Broccoli and it did exactly like it said it was going to! I was very pleased with the meal and it was very reasonable also.

I was in this restaurant last night and was really impressed. The staff were pleasant and friendly, the atmosphere was good and they go all out for Birthdays! I had the Sea Bass for mains and thought it was the nicest I've had in Dublin, even without the delicious sauce. Really lovely. Lamb cutlets were very lean and a success also. I would definitely return here.

Great family-friendly restaurant. Very lively (i.e. can be noisy with kids in the early evening) so is ideal if you're bringing children as they blend in very well! Staff are very efficient, friendly and attentive. The food is surprisingly good too and will have something to please everyone in a mixed group, so would suit birthday celebrations etc. I imagine the atmosphere gets less frenetic after about 8.30pm, so I'd leave it till then if you're looking for a romantic dinner. Great to see a local suburban restaurant making an effort to please all customers, they have jazz nights and Spanish guitar nights as well.

Hadnt been to this restaurant in quite a while, and the standards have deteriorated. The service was very slow, although the staff were very friendly. My steak was very well done when I'd requested med/well. The sauce was so creamy it was sickly. My husbands chicken dish was very bland and tasteless, he wasnt impressed at all.

A nice restaurant with decent food and good service!!

Have eaten here twice. The food was lovely both times and the music just adds to the atmosphere. Small yet perfect restaurant

Went here for a party two weeks ago. Atmosphere was great. Played Gypsy Kings and quite a few people got up to dance! It was brill! The food was alright not top of the range but was passable. I had suppli to start and this was quite a generous portion if a little bland. I had vegetarian pizza for my main but be warned,it comes with pineapple, something I didn't realise until after i was served! Overall average restaurant, won't be running back.

Have eaten here 3 times now... food and service are brilliant.. atmosphere is brilliant as the small restaurant fills quickly. Definitely recommend

The food in this place is gorgeous, a lovely simple Italian, although the restaurant itself can be very noisy and the last time we ate there the staff were extremely inattentive. I had to ask 3 separate waiters for a glass of water and it wasn't that busy. The same with coming back to you to order, they give you the menus and then no sign of them coming back to take your order. I would go back to this place because of the food but my boyfriend said the lack of service has put him off completely.

Good value and a lovely room with nice service. The bruschetta, however, was awful but the carbonara and fudge dessert more than made up for it. All in all this was a lovely meal that didn't cost the earth. Would definitely return.

For quality seafood and meat at a decent price this place rocks! I had Penne Gamberi last week and it was divine and the lamb cutlets are as good as anywhere. It's not fine dining, but then it doesn't claim to be...if you're being taken here as a romantic dinner date the problem is your partner not the restaurant! Papparazzi is a fun place for casual dining or a celebration dinner with your family or mates and it does the business.

When I first tried Paparazzi I was disappointed as it was a Sunday evening and all our food tasted like it had been made that morning and reheated for us. I wasn't in a rush to go back but went back a few weeks ago for a girly Saturday lunch and the food was 10 times better than before and I really enjoyed it. The staff were nice too.

Not a bad place, but as others have said, it is very noisy and does cater for family / friends larger parties and in particular a lot of groups of teenagers. Food is ok, but had to send our lasagnes and steaks back on two separate occaisions as they were both cold in the centre..

I have been to Paparazzi several times and have always enjoyed it except for one or two niggles. Food quality is always excellent however it can be very noisy and packed on the weekends. And beware the side orders. I asked for some olives with my side salad and was charged €3.50 extra as a side order for five olives! Also another guest asked for some onions on his steak, we were brought a side plate with enough onions for the table and were charged €3.50 again! Overall lovely food but be careful what extras you ask for!

We first went to Paparazzi in early 2006 and we have been going there ever since. We actually enjoyed it so much that we even held our wedding reception there last summer. All our 120 guests really enjoyed the food, and the service was second to none!! Definitely recommended.

We have been having a meal last friday. The manager is a very friendly bloke. The service is good, food is reasonable, but what me and my friends liked the most was the music. The guy that plays the guitar and sings there is FANTASTIC. I would recommend it to everybody that would like to listen to some sweet music while dining in good company. I truly recommend this restaurant to everybody. Keep up the good work.

I am a fairly regular customer of Paparazzi, which in itself says a lot considering I live in Dublin 2! Basically, it is not the best Italian you will ever have (there is always Italy after all!), but considering the nice food (stuffed aubergine, penne gamberi, lamb cutlets and fish of the day highly recommended-plus some of the best pizza in town!), the exceptional service (who doesn't enjoy a complimentary drink, especially when served with a genuine smile?!), and the very decent prices (compared to city centre equivalent), it is definitely a very pleasant dining experience! Weekends can be a bit noisy indeed (it is a VERY child friendly restaurant after all), but it is not more unpleasant than a busy pub where everyone is having a good time!! Paparazzi is definitely worth a try!

We come to this place on the odd Sunday afternoon when not much else is open. I know Sunday is meant to be a family day, but this place is seriously like a creche sometimes. Children are let run rings around the dining area and shout at the tops of their voices. If staff were shown to ask parents to control their children it might be acceptable, but they don't seem to care. As a result, the parents relax with their wine while Junior is racing his sister past our table. The food is good - nothing spectacular. It's a good mid-price Italian for the area. The restaurant falls down where so many other Italians do - the dessert. There are only so many Bailey's cheesecakes you can have!!

Really don't like this restaurant.. We ate there on a Saturday night.. Kids running around the place screaming.. Very noisy, impossible to have a chat.. Wasn't impressed with the food... the tomato sauce was drowning everything I Won't be back as there are plenty of other real Italian restaurants in the area that are much better..

I went with 4 people. The two starters had to be given back, prawns, over cooked, the service was awful. On another occasion, we had booked two weeks in advance for a group of 23,they (the restaurant) rang 4 days before to confirm it, and when we arrived on a sat night, they had no booking for us! Would never step foot inside this place again, there customers don’t seem to be that important.

Went here with my parents on sat nite. The place was really busy! Great lively atmosphere!.... BUT SOooooooooooo NOISY. Could hardly hear what each other were saying.food+wine very nice+good quality. Staff really helpful, funny+friendly...especially the owner, who was not2 busy give clients his full attention. Decent value. Had gorgeous seafood linguine. Would also recommend the tiramisu. Would go again IF they sort out the acoustics problems. PERHAPS SOME CURTAINS, CUSHIONS +OTHER SOFT FURNISHINGS WOULD HELP???

I have eaten her a few times but lately the service has been terrible, the last time we went the waiter argued with me over what the gamberoni came with!!! Was pretty shocking we went with a group of 7 and 2 ppl ordered cannelloni 1 vegetarian and 1 meat but both ended up with meat and he argued again and said that they both ordered meat although I myself heard her ask for veggie! Food is good but service is lousy.

This place is okay as a cheap and cheerful local restaurant to meet a few friends. It’s nothing special though and I wouldn't be bothered travelling any distance to eat there. Nor would I choose it for a special celebration. Last time I was there I ordered the Pollo Emilliana which was described as marinated breast of chicken, stuffed with basil and parma ham. It arrived with no basil whatsoever. When I pointed this out to the waitress she looked at me in confusion and said 'sorry, do you want me to put some basil into it?' as if she was doing me a favour. Then she took my plate away, popped a couple of leaves of basil on top of the chicken and brought it back to me!

First trip to this restaurant. Place was buzzing. Live background music was good. Food was OK. I had the prawn starter which was the usual scrawny size with Lilliputian sized prawns, when will I ever learn! The steaks were overpriced and undersized. "It's an Italian" I hear you say. Well I felt like steak and if it not going to be top class don't have it on the menu! They also charged €7 corkage on a bottle of champagne which seemed OK. I think they could get another 30% customer satisfaction for another 10% effort. I would go back again just to try the Italian food.

I've been to this restaurant many times and there isn't once I wasn't pleased. It’s a place I choose when I know I’ll get great food from great staff. Its good value for money. Its my favorite restaurant at the moment due to its proximity to my house and great service. I’d recommend this place to anybody. Keep up the good work Paparazzi.

Excellent food here, everyone enjoyed the delight taste of the real authentic taste of Italian cuisine, although the steak was not the way we preferred it actually tasted better, my only concern is the staff should be concentrating on their, hopefully we will find it a lot better on Friday.

I ate in Paparazzi restaurant for my birthday with my cousin. She brought me out for a treat. I ordered the meatball starter and found three burnt meatballs in a small casserole dish presented to me in a tomato sauce. I wasn’t aware of the burnt meatballs until I ate the second one. I must say they have the nicest Italian bread. I ordered pasta with fish but u could see it wasn’t fresh fish not like another Italian restaurant local in Terenure. It was ok. They served me Parmesan cheese with my pasta. A good Italian restaurant with fresh fish or seafood in pasta will tell you never to put parmesan cheese in ur dish because it ruins the flavour of fish. I noticed that not all customers are served the same way. Why I don’t know??? I don’t think I will ever go back there as my friend had found glass piece in her pizza.

I went to this restaurant last night with 5 friends and I have to say I was very pleased. I have not been here for a good while as I have a favourite restaurant but since it was closed last night we said we'd try here. The staff were lovely, atmosphere was nice and quiet with soft music playing in the background, the food was delicious and great value for money. There were no complaints from anybody and we were all very satisfied. I will definitely be back as will everyone else from the group.

I have only tried takeaway from this restaurant, but it was gorgeous!!! It was very reasonably priced & the cannelloni is one of the best I’ve ever tasted!! They don’t deliver, so when I went to collect it I got to see what the restaurant was like!!! Very nice atmosphere & from what I could see the waiting staff were very attentive!!! I will definitely visit this restaurant for a meal!!!! They even have live Spanish guitar on a Friday - so the sign says!!!!

Went out here a couple of weeks ago for the first time. Found the staff very friendly. Food was excellent & great value for money. Great place to go for a quiet & cheap meal!

I've eaten here a few times and enjoyed it. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The seating is not as cosy as other restaurants but we won't hold that against them, as the food is very good and reasonable priced.

Nice layout, good food and good portions, however got a window seat that looked out onto a Petrol Station, so ruined the atmosphere. Little bit on the pricey side for a local restaurant. It would be a place to visit mid week and go for a few pints afterwards.

Ate here only once, I found that the layout is very cafe like, not as cosy as the 'Little Venice' restaurant that use to be there. The staff are very nice and the food was lovely & reasonably priced but I wouldn't go there for a cosy romantic evening out. Sorry...

Have been here a couple of times. Got sea bass the last time I was there and loved it, it was perfect. Nice staff. Very big menu, I wanted to order everything on it!

Beautiful food, very good value, very friendly staff. I will definitely be going back for more.

Have only been here for lunches but I always find the service excellent, large menu, good Italian food and very well priced, nice cheerful decor and would definitely go again

Cheap & Cheerful! Great for a girl’s night or family dinner. The food is very tasty and great value. Lovely atmosphere especially on Friday night where they have a singer singing all the Italian classics!

You can't beat this place for value. Starter, Main course and wine for two 55.00 euro. Good atmosphere and no problem with getting taxis outside. For a good night out with nice food for the price of a take-away this is it.

Awful!!!!! I've brought the family here on many occasions and found the food/ service to be a mixed bag. Sent back a tasteless undercooked baked Pasta dish today and was still charged for it in the end!!!!! Their justification was that they didn’t charge me for a half litre of wine (which I didn’t drink as I had no food) and refills for the kids cokes. Never again. So bloody annoyed right now!!!

Have had lunch here on a number of occasions great value two course plus glass of house wine for ˆ10. I wish they would vary the Menu though it’s been the same for quite some time now. Staff are very friendly and a nice atmosphere.

Ate in Paparazzi quite a while ago, service was fantastic but wasn't impressed with my main course, I had the calamari to start and the gamberoni as my main course, starter was lovely but my prawn main course was disappointing. The prawns were very overcooked and tasteless. Will definitely go back but will be trying something different.

Always when I go to Paparazzi's I am met with a smile, food is always perfect, atmosphere is nice and relaxing, price is reasonable and the staff are perfect. Highly recommended.

We were met with the usual warm welcome and efficient service, the food was very good, tasty and plenty of it, good bottle of wine and the cost was most reasonable, certainly a place to be recommended.
