la gondola

good food andgoodservice. the dessert menu had only two homemade desserts and some of the options were already missing. the location is reallygoodand time in qeue for table was less than the predicted.

an italian restaurant with verygoodpizzas, pastas and risottos. the food is nice and not expensive. although it was a bit hard to cut the pizza, with other knife it would be easier. it has a great ambient and it's in a really nice location.

for the times i've been in la gondola, i always left the place happy and full! the food is amazing and price/quality relation is very good! i love to eat some pizza or pasta with a hot pot of tea! last time the pasta was a bit hot but still sogoodthere was nothing left in plate!
moreover the place is very cosy with great decoration! one of my favs in dublin!

armed with a voucher from the lovely folk in zomato, myself and himself arrived for lunch after a busy morning shopping. we opted for a carbtastic selection of pizza roma (lovely crispy base, fresh tomato sauce and plenty of topping), the lasagne (piping hot and delicious, served with a side salad), garlic bread with cheese (pure gluttony) and chips (crispy). we finished off with the homemade tiramisu (relatively mild favour but creamy and sweet) and two espressos.

italian restaurants are many in the city centre, but the location just off the main temple bar thoroughfare is very convenient. the dining area is intimate and cosy- agoodplace to recharge the batteries!

staff were very friendly too. we'll be back!

this is such a fabulous restaurant.  a real gem.  we decided to have a mid week trip into the city for some dinner and had been given a voucher for la gondola which needed to be used.  i have to admit, i had never heard about it before but will definitely be back again.  it was one of the most delicious meals i've had in a while and they haven't fallen into the "we're in temple bar so we'll charge a fortune" trap.  very reasonably priced but the quality is fantastic.

we shared a generous portion of chicken wings to start.  my daughter had the pizza and chips (omg, best chips ever!!!!), himself had the lasagne with chips (seriously...the chips are sooooo good!) and i had the chicken venizia.  i can honestly say we were blown away.  my dish was delicious down to the very last pea.  i tried all of the dishes and was equally impressed with each one.  my daughter tends to eat only a fraction of her meal, but last night she ate til she physically couldn't eat anymore and even took the remaining pizza home with her - first time!!  himself had 2 glasses of house red and i had a delicious cappuccino after dinner. 

i would also like to compliment the staff - they were just wonderful.  so friendly and warm.

it's just sogood- you need to try it.
