I am not a lover of Italian as Im wheat free, however this place might convert me. There was wheat free pasta available and the nicest tomato sauce I have had. I was delicious. I was there by accident on a Tuesday and was able to get BOGOF on the pasta which was even better. The décor was fun and the atmosphere relaxed. The service was good. Would recommend.

Pleasantly surprised twice in a row with food and service.Both the ocassions food was spot on,I requested a risotto which was absolutely to my taste,extra garlic,less cheese and nice consistency.My partner had lovely Pizza, so light and tasty.Loved the whole experience.Staff was ever so polite both the times and paid attention to our needs.Lovely spot in city centre

Overall a negative experience and can safely say we will avoid returning to this place in the future. Our main problem with this place was the staff, Within two minutes of been seated a waiter was over to ask if we were ready to order and was not at all impressed that we were not, barely even glanced at the menu at that stage and was back a minute later to ask again When taking our order the waiter seemed to me to throw his eyes up to heaven when we dared to ask for a substitution on one of the pizzas we ordered (surely not a big ask) When paying the bill, my partner choose not to leave a tip via his laser card (prefer to leave a tip in cash), the waiter asked my partner TWICE was he sure that he did not wish to leave a tip, we both found this extremely unprofessional. We did not leave a tip in the end. The above was not limited to one member of staff but a different waiter each time. The pizzas while generous in portion were average and in our view too expensive. The only positive is its proximity to grafton street but there are 3 other Italian restaurants close by so will be trying those in the future.

Response:
Thanks for your feedback. We have investigated your comments and would like to clarify a few facts. Our waiter initially was trying to take a drink order, not your food order. We apologize if you had a different impression. With regards to substitution, we assure you that our staff is extremely professional (thus, would not "roll their eyes", as it's part of their job to process any reasonable order from a customer). All staff is involved with delivering drinks and food, so it's possible you have been approached by different members of staff. At payment time, the host was asking if you would have preferred to include a tip on the card (asking for a yes or no question). We believe it was misunderstood and, again, we apologize if you heard differently. Best regards, the management.
