Dunne and Crescenzi in Dublin

Nice food reasonably priced.Prompt service. I was never a fan of industrially run restaurants but this one doesnt feel nor taste like one.Last , not least good grappa in here 😉

Top class Italian.. really impressed. Trying my best to find a fault and i cannot. Keep up the great work guys. I have not stopped talking about our recent trip to anyone that will listen. 5 stars across the board.

Great selection of wines. Ill leave 4 star giving space for improvement on service and food menu

Classic interior and the food was decent but very overhyped.Waitress dropped a full glass of wine onto me leaving me drenched and only apologised while I was walking away towards the bathroom to try dry off. Didn’t come over to the table to apologise after I returned and had overhead the same waitress laughing about the incident 10 minutes after.Left soaked in wine and with a bad taste in my mouth.

What a great time I had there with my wife and a friend.Far away my fav Italian food in town and the Mexican waitress Ana made our night outstanding!The team are amazing and the experience is really enjoyable!I’ll be back

Italian food, really really nice! So tasty

Very disappointed with the service. Started well, but serving staff changed for some reason, and the new people who took over our take were poor. My main course had to be sent back as it was cold, but the serving staff forgot and I had to remind them. By the time a somewhat warmer dish arrived the side were cold but they didnt do anything about that! They were completely disinterested. We had to ask for parmesan cheese and pepper... in an Italian restaurant!!!No interaction with management and no expression of regret for the inconvenience. Very poor. It was a special family occasion. We will not be trust any more occasions to this restaurant.

Everything was just AMAZING!!! Food, staff, and atmosphere ✔️✔️✔️

I brought my boyfriend here for his 30th birthday on Tuesday as a treat because it seemed like a beautiful Italian restaurant. The gluten-free bruschetta was served on cold bread with chopped tomatoes and was quite disappointing.The Ragu was delicious served with lovely gluten-free pasta. The staff were mainly okay, except I was sitting right in front of shelves and one of the servers decided to restock the wine while I was eating dinner which was awkward because I was so close to the shelves and had to move out of her way. I think it couldve waited until we were finished. I was just really disappointed all in all because we rarely go out and it was for such a special occasion and it ended up being quite a letdown.

Pros, Food really good , staff helpful and polite , prices reasonable, cocktails really good. Cons, we were seated beside the house wine rack which was being stocked regularly which my wife felt she was in the way. This should not happen in a restaurant. Overall, will return.

*** FALLING DOWN ***My wife and I were at Kildare Village on Sunday and were very much looking forward to a meal here ... we arrived bang on 5pm and stood a while before being shown to our seat .... we were given a very small menu and looked at each other in bemusement ... I called the waiter over and asked if this was all they were serving ... its the after 5 menu he said in an indignant manner.I said we were here at five to no avail .....Completely disappointed in their lack of empathy and we got up and left ... I could see into it if it was 7.30 but bearing in mind the restaurant was open for another 3 hours I feel its pretty poor.The waiter needs to watch Falling Down and reconsider his attitude.

Lovely place and delicious food! Try it!

Great food, excellent service, reasonably priced. Also they didnt rush us. Would highly recommend.

Honestly the best cappuccino and ravioli I’ve had in a very long time. The mushroom ravioli is to die for, I wish I could have it as my death row meal. Absolutely wonderful Italian cuisine, and staff are very kind and attentive. Can’t wait to come back the next time I’m in Dublin.

Never fails to disappoint. Just had a super family lunch and clean plates all around. Food and service are super and Kate looked after us so well. Thanks a million it was fabulous. Rx.

I wish I could leave any star. The staff was horrendous. They do not take care of us and they do not pay attention at all. They do not serve our meals at time and even more, they do no say anything about it. Not recommend. There are many Italians restaurants around Dublin.

It was the most unpleasant experience I’ve ever had in Dublin. We waited like one hour to be served and, besides, they didn’t tell us anything about it. I don’t recommend at all this “italian” restaurant. You all have a wide range of options. Avoid it.

Coming from an italian, this was the best italian food I have ever tried not only abroad but also in Italy itself!They import every single product from Italy and that DEFINITELY makes the difference. In every dish you’ll try in the menu you can taste the true olive oil, tomatoes, cheese, cured meets, wine, and so on which add the best flavors to anything you will order.We tried so many things in the menu and we will definitely go back to try more.Location is also perfect in the real city center and in a cozy environment.The staff is also so kind and welcoming, smiling and super friendly.Everything from A to Z is perfect in this restaurant ( desserts included… Their homemade Tiramisù is simply mouth watering)Don’t forget to try their pastas of the day otherwise you’ll be missing out on the best thing you’ll ever eat in Dublin and more😃100% recommended!

2 weeks ago I attempted to book a table for 2 people plus a guide dog for 5pm .I was informed we could take a table outoors?? As it is a busy street & a cool evening I requested indoor seating. This request had to be "run" by the manager & I would get a call before 5pm to confirm.....alas no call........"dont refuse dont encourage"......shame on you.

They have some great dishes! They also have nice gluten free options. The food is decently priced and the service is nice.

Great Italian option in Dublin. Delicious and lovely service.

I was in a hurry so only had time to have the soup for lunch . It was really good. My friends had main courses as they werent tied for time and they said they were really good. I will be back.

The food was pricy, but delicious vegetarian risotto available. Also very cosy on the inside with lots of wine to choose from. Very kind staff working here, making us have a great evening.

Google maps says they close at 2300hrs we went there from far and reached 2112hrs and they said their kitchen is closed. Never ever going there

We decided to change the ambience and why not an authentic Italian restaurant.we had some antipastos bruschetta and cheese board,which we liked it and also the nice wine.stuff was very nice,we will be back for sure.The restaurant is also very beautiful 🤩

The best Italian restaurant and one of the best restaurants in Dublin. The staff are incomparable, extremely professional and courteous. We were outside and kept enjoying our time after dinner when a summer storm poured down and the manager rushed out with a big umbrella. The location is perfect as well, in the middle of town but secluded and relaxed.

Best place for breakfast, lunch or dinner in town. Food is authentic and not overpriced. The ambience is very warm and welcoming.

Food is nice. Service pretty unimpressive. Went on the afternoon of 30th June 2022. Wasnt super busy. Waited about 15 minutes to be served once seated - after barely being greeted by the waiter in the black shirt at the front. Almost impossible to get any service. Substandard. Better choices in Dublin.

I really like this place. The food is so good, tasty and so nice. The only cons is that they dont have a kids menu. We went with my son, we ordered him some food from the adults menu and he didnt eat it at the end 😂 too fancy for him.Anyway, the place is amazing and I really love it but I would at least advertise it as a mostly adult restaurant unless you kiddo is more than 5yo. Mine is 2½ and is a bit picky.Really recommended for a night out with the partner or a friends night out.

While we had a lovely evening and meal, my wife was reassured her meal was gluten free as she has ceoliacs disease (a severe allery to gluten and wheatshe was extremely sick a few hours after eating and it was most definitely as a result of eating here. She even called a few days later when she was well enough to talk to someone about what happened and was told someone would call her back after they spoke with the kitchen but nothing has happened. This ruined what was a lovely weekend away and has made my wife even more unsure about eating out in a restaurant again. Extremely disappointed.

Great menu, a real taste of Italy, staff very knowledgeable and professional. Was there for lunch will definitely return for dinner next.

Excellent food and vibe. A very extensive wine list. Helpful and amazing staff. What else do you need from an Italian rest 😅 Everyone had a great time and all our food was exceptionally good. Absolutely recommended.

Excellent food and atmosphere with good service

Lovely lively eatery. Decor very fitting as becomes an Italian restaurant.Dishes all affordable & varied. Alas not liking sauces or pasta I am often at a loss to find a dish plain enough for my uneducated palate. My friends love the menu & atmosphere so I am regularily drawn back. Wine & bruschetta always get me through the evening. I will return.

Recommended by a family friend. Excellent and authentic Italian cuisine. Service team was friendly and prompt. Italian wine selection is good and not overpriced. Ravioli special, gnocchi, bruschetta and tiramisu was all superb. Will return often.

A lovely traditional Italian restaurant staffed by friendly professionals with outstanding food & a good range of wines. My guests swordfish pasta special was greatly enjoyed and my ravioli funghi was the best I have eaten in years.

Outstanding service, I called in on Saturday to ask about a late night booking for that evening. They were fully booked but the manager took my name and number. In the afternoon he called to say a table free, and though we were only going to be able to arrive late (as heading to a playthe manager was able to kindly arrange that we could eat there. The food was absolutely first class, delicious and generously portioned olives and pesto with sourdough to start and then I had the risotto which was very good and filling. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough and I cannot wait to eat there again when I am next in Dublin!

Best restaurant in Dublin. Only place that had actual flavour in their food

If you love Unhealthy rich food, where they force the flavour with unbelievable amounts of cream and butter, go dine to this place.. They also treat the humble worker with disdain, dismissing them without any reason.. A disgusting place both to work and to visit ..

Delicious Gnocchi and fresh veg. Staff were attentive and helpful and accomodated all our needs it was a delightful evening! Will definitely be back

Best panna cotta I ever had ! 😍 very delicious food and cosy atmosphere, definitely will come back! Came without reservation on Friday evening and got a nice table outside, very friendly staff, thank you for beautiful dinner ❤️

This is a fabulous, well established authentic Italian Restaurant close to Trinity College. The food is like dining in Italy and the staff are all Italian and so charming, friendly and professional. I sat in the outside dining section because of Government Covid restrictions at the moment on dining indoors. They have always had this outdoor section as part of their dining experience, hence the foliage surrounds, overhead wall heaters and canopies overhead. Its also on the sunny side if the street. I had lunch, a glass of white wine and a latte. Mamma Mia! To die for! I had the Contadina warm salad consisting of succulent Irish chicken marinated in honey, crispy Italian pancetta, chargrilled peppers, tomatoes, olive oil, all on a bed of fresh mixed leaves and a choice of bread on the side. I had two tasty sourdough slices of bread drizzled lightly with olive oil and toasted to perfection. The portion was very generous. Other dishes around me that other diners had looked equally delicious. I highly recommend dining there, the prices are very reasonable and the experience a satisfying delight.

We had a delicious dinner. The staff was super helpful and kind. I recommend the tagliatelle ragu and the sausage risotto as well as the prosecco and the merlot.

We just came in and were very well received. Ordered drinks and food. Very quick to be served at the time - around 19 pm. Surprised by the quality. Great food.

The best Italian restaurant I’ve been to in Ireland. Authentic, excellent food, good wine, friendly staff and a lovely cosy atmosphere. Definitely coming back. Also bought a bottle of their extra virgin olive oil...so good!

Excellent food. I get a bit frustrated with the way Europe hoards the ice and the tap water. I just wanted a tall glass of ice water but I think the concept is lost here. I am American and we love our ice. Anyway, I had the racotta and spinach filled ravioli. They called it something else and now I dont remember the name. I asked for something with a creamy sauce and our waitress pointed this out. It was incredible. Perfect portion, very tasty. We also ordered separate an olive oil sprinkled bread portion. That was delicious as well. Great service. Definitely family owned. Everyone of the staff was very much Italian in the middle of Ireland so that was apparent. Beautiful place. Clean. Lovely people, lovely place and delicious food.

This was one of the best restaurants Ive been in Dublin! The food is very well prepared, homemade and fresh. I had the pesto tagliatelle and it was one of the best ones Ive had, ever!The staff is also very nice and always around in case you need anything. I also recommend the starter with mozzarella, prosciutto and pesto - very tasty!

Good Italian food!In every city you find an Italian restaurant, and basically I try to visit one each time. In this case its a very nice one.The atmosphere is jovial, the staff is completely Italian, so they are friendly, helpful and somewhat funny!The food is very nice, and simple (as Italian food should be!). The tastes are as they should be. (Cant show you a picture of the food, but my empty plate shows more about the taste than an untouched plate).Maybe one disadvantage... No pizza...

So we went here yesterday for Dinner. The staff was very very friendly. Even though we had some struggle to decide on what to eat but the waiter waited very patiently and offered us some help. I decided for the mushroom ravioli with grana perdano sauce. Also did we order the house wine. The food didnt take that long to come. It was not the biggest portion but tasted excellent. All in all I can recommend to go there.

Surprisingly busy on an early Friday evening. Everything eaten was delicious: the main course of chicken in cheese sauce, panna cotta and house white. Prices were fair, service was prompt, friendly and helpful. Id definitely be interested in returning and trying more items off the menu.
