    there is one call di bella just off holles street.

    it was nice 2 years ago but there is now a company wide boycott on it. we asked to move two tables together one lunchtime and were "we dont need your business, look how busy we are" what she didnt know was 85% of the people there were from my company :D

    Isola Mia next to the post office on Erne Street is pretty nice.

    This is by far the best Italian restraunt in Dublin fairly reasonable for the quality of food too.

    They have another one in mount merrion/sandymount

    I used to agree but the last time I was there about 4 or 5 weeks ago, it was awful. Service was terrible and the food was not up to its usual high standards.
    I didn't recognise any of the staff so maybe most of the regular staff were on holidays, but prior to this it was one of the best Italians in Dublin

    I go to it a lot and haver never had anything but excellent food and fantastic welcoming service.

    I was there only two weeks ago and it was excellent as usual.

    Maybe there was a funeral on when you went :pac:
