Top Pizza Takeaways in Dublin 2, Ireland

The decor and atmosphere of this restaurant were great—really cozy and inviting. The food was lovely, with every dish tasting fresh and well-prepared. However, the service left much to be desired.

We were never asked if the food was okay, and it felt like the staff wasn't attentive at all. It took ages for someone to clear our plates, even though we had obviously finished. To top it off, after ordering additional drinks, we had to wait 15 minutes to get them.

While the food and ambiance are worth mentioning, the poor service made the overall experience less enjoyable. Hopefully, the staff can improve, as this place has potential.

Nice atmosphere, very cosy, however our lunch wasn't too great. We did not like pizza dough at all, felt very hard and chewy. We have tried 90% of Dublin Italian restaurants and this is the one that we would not come back unfortunately.
Please keep in mind that this place has a service charge.

I’ve been wanting to visit this place for years, and I was excited to finally get the chance. The location is fantastic, and the interior has a nice charm to it. It’s a bit noisy, and the tables are quite close together, which made it slightly uncomfortable, but it didn’t ruin the experience. The food was decent—perhaps not extraordinary, but the prices are better than many other places in Dublin, which is a definite plus. The staff were friendly overall, although they forgot a glass of wine I ordered. Instead of following up, we chose to move on to dessert. I had high expectations for the tiramisu, but it didn’t quite live up to them—it was fine, just not remarkable. All in all, it was an enjoyable experience, though it didn’t quite leave a lasting impression.

I don’t really care about leaving google reviews this was particular bad so I have to say something. My friend and I waited nearly an hour for our food. I assume they forgot and just kept walking past us, clearly with no food or drinks in front of us. We eventually mentioned it and they greeted me with a sigh, like I was inconveniencing them. Anyway, roll forward a few minutes and they are serving another table and then proceed to spill a glass of coke all over our table and my friend and her dress. Again they basically sighed a sorry and then just walked away. At this point it’s just kind of funny but also really shocking. We go to pay and I have a raised eyebrow if we’ll get any sort of apology. No. We asked to split the bill, they said, how much each?? I had to say, eh, you’re the waiter? 🥲 honestly it was funny and also abysmal. Best of luck!

Pretty good carpaccio. Bruschetta serving was kind of small (2 pieces) considering the price . Veal was great as was the pasta Bolognese.

a true gem for anyone craving an authentic Italian dining experience. From the moment you step through the doors, you’re greeted with the warm, rustic ambiance. The menu is a well-curated selection of Italian classics, each dish prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. One of the best Italian restaurants I tried in Dublin.

I had a fantastic dining experience at Al Vesuvio in Dublin. The service and food were both exceptional, truly capturing the essence of Italian cuisine. The ambiance made me feel like I was dining in Italy, adding to the authenticity of the experience. On top of that, the prices are very fair, making it a great value for the quality you receive. I highly recommend Al Vesuvio for anyone looking to enjoy a genuine Italian meal in Dublin.

Very cuteee Italian inspired restaurant! The staff are so cute and helpful! I wish I could remember the waiters name! He was so patient and helpful when suggesting wines and dishes!
I was there for my birthday dinner and they were so accommodating with my cake and provided candles and a birthday song.
Oh yes; they accommodated my very young niece(2m old) and nephew (2y/o) which I thought was so nice of them!
You definitely felt you were in Italy! Loved it 🥰
