Dunne and Crescenzi

Place is charming, food is fine. Lovely starter and main course was delicious. Dessert almond cake was dry and need larger scoop of ice cream. Wine was lovely. Waiter was not very attentive and ladies toilets are dreadful. Cramped but worse of all is a badly stained toilet seat and hook on back of one of the doors has one of four screws left holding it up barely. So I would recommend the place to eat and meet but management need to do a urgent bathroom refresh

Just simply love this restaurant. It’s one of my “go to places” when in Dublin.
There’s a great selection of food to satisfy all palates- vegetarian is fully catered for with plenty for the deserving meat eater.
The selection of wines catered for each meal with a great choice of red, white and bubbles 🍷
I’ve recommended this restaurant to friends, who are foodie critics- I’m pleased to say they also enjoyed the experience.
Not sure about wheelchair access as it quite snug between tables.
Value for money is good for a mid range / high end restaurant.
Parking is easy, either outside or within a number of the local car parks.

We dropped in for a meal, a starter (1) CROSTONE NDUJA, BIETA E SALSICCIA, FONTAL
Toasted Altamura sourdough, nduja, Tuscan sausage, fontal cheese, Swiss chard.
and a light main RAVIOLI AI FUNGHI
Mushroom ravioli, parmigiano fonduta, crushed walnuts, truffled olive oil.
and desert 'Tiramisù al Vinsanto with Tuscan Vinsanto and a bottle of wine.
'Castello di Tassarolo 'Titouan' Barbera Piemonte'
Very refined and elegant, soft tones of cherries and black 'berries' round and balanced.
An excellent early evening light meal for two, finished off with an espresso.

Linguini pasta with seafood is one of the best in the city. We have been here twice and both times took this particular pasta. I don't understand where the negative comments about this dish come from. A large selection of wines. I agree with the comment regarding the not very friendly reception. The first time we caught a representative of the restaurant for a long time to be put down, it was as if we were not noticed. The second time we were quickly put down, but the manager was unfriendly. The waiters are great.

Very cozy and popular Italian restaurant with a lot awards! Risotto with shrimps mint and lime was the most tastiest in my life! Professional service, classical music playing here. They serve drinks very fast. I fell in love with cocktail amaretto sour ! Thank a lot for what you do and how! Recommend!!!

The food was very ordinary and boring, flavorless!
Service was lackluster, no follow up if anything is required.
There are many other good Italian restaurants in Dublin and would definitely not visit this place again.

Arrive or not to arrive was the question! Obviously referring to food...

The food was actually tasty and came out piping hot (maybe even too hot - microwaved). Portions were generous, which is always good for the eye and stomach in this era of portion shrinkages and price hikes (including water!). In contrast, the service was abysmally slow for the lunchtime run (where time is of the essence for those with short lunch breaks). We waited for over an hour for our group to be served.

The general atmosphere is good (not a soulless restaurant) although the ambience is rather dark and on a dull day, this was noteworthy. We were seated close to the window so that helped to keep us buoyantly hopeful while we patiently waited and waited for our food to appear. Felt surreally close to "Waiting for Godot"...
