    Excellent house made pastas. The Bolognese was to die for. As was the carbonara.

    Lovely surroundings and staff couldn't have been more helpful. Food was good but a little more selection would be good. Size of a glass of wine was disappointing. Overall enjoyed dinner

    Great staff, friendly and efficient and lots of lovely Italian staff! (Much nicer inside than outside?!) Calm, relaxed and sophisticated ambience. All in all a lovely early evening pre-theatre meal!

    This was good Italian in Ireland. I recommend trying to sit upstairs as the downstairs is a bit like a basement. Kind staff.

    I regularly commute to Dublin for both business and visiting family. Bar Italia is my favourite restaurant and I highly recommend it to family and friends. The food is top notch. I hesitate to in any way be critical But! The drinks are top quality but expensive and the wine measures are frankly disappointing in comparison to other similar establishments. Also I must highlight that when I booked through Open table I was charged a €40 deposit on booking and a week later I had to request my refund of deposit and received the same with an apology. No problem normally except my granddaughter whom loves Bar Italia also had a similar experience. This is probably hard to hear but I believe in giving real feedback. Overall. I love the food and service in Bar Italia. Sorry about the tough love 👍

    I highly recommend the carbonara and the bolognese. The flavors are on point and the pasta was cooked perfectly. The burrata appetizer was absolutely delicious too. I love that they serve bread with olive oil and balsamic. The service was very attentive and got us served and out in time to make our theater reservations.
