Review from Annie L.
I had no idea how big this eatery is, I always thought it was more of a diner as I only ever walked by it and you see a patio style area.
Yesterday I learned that there is a very different mood setting inside it. Warm colours and plenty of old black and white photos of children and famous singers.
The music that they play is mainly a 1950's easy listening vibe, although someone in there really loves Michael Buble as the volume went up anytime he came on the airwaves - it was a bit much to be honest, you don't blast music in a restaurant.
I got the margarita pizza which was very tasty and a margarita cocktail. It was OK, I've had better. They do have a very impressive bar and cocktail menu, and the fire from the oven gives it a wonderful atmosphere.
For dessert I had their selection of sorbets of the day which was absolutely delicious and so fresh - highly recommend ordering them.
Over all a pizza, beer, cocktail, dessert, tea and water came to €35. -

Good service, and good food, at a good price.
The decor seems a little cold though - the space is very big, and even with the big over in the middle seems very open and a little spartan.
A more rustic feeling might help this place do better, but I guess they are working with what they have. -

We eventually returned to Bel & Belucci's to re-evaluate the place following the disappointing first visit and found it much improved. The menu has been reduced and the results are promising.
The pizza was thinner, crispier and tastier - I even re-tried the same gorgonzola and sausage pizza for comparison - vastly better this time around. The starter, again fried, but this time a risotto based starter was far better than our first outing and not too heavy.
Overall, a great improvement and I will be going back to solidify my opinion. Another good showing and I will bump it up to a 4-star.1 Previous Review: Show all »

We ordered takeway. First thing that impressed was that the takeway prices were very reasonable compared to Dominos. €9-11 compared to compared to €16-18 for the Dominos equivalent.
We ordered 4 pizzas for four of us and were really happy to find ou that since we were spending €40 we got a free bottle of wine.
In summary, great stuff. -

I popped in there before a Leinster match. I had the soup and a Diavolo pizza. There was nothing spicy or hot about the pizza. The soup was good. But I won't be returning.

I have wanted to try this place for some time - simply because I like vespas, they have one sitting in their doorway and I am that shallow. Also, a second good pizza(PAULIE's = *****)restaurant in the area would be great. Fairly cool space with a curved front window, cool focal point(with a open flame pizza oven), and bad music. Apps included cured beef carpaccio with rocket and shaved parmesan - pretty good. Frito misto - love the idea and overall decent quality, but the bread crumbs had trouble adhering to the shellfish or veggies - and there wasn't really any coherence to the selection of veggies - fried carrots? really? We also ordered italian beer - very nice and pizza - crisp crust without the distinctive and delicious taste at Paulie's. All in all okay, but could be better. I hope they read their reviews and try to improve - music that fits the space would be good, a good frito misto would be great. Improving their pizza crust would be better.
