La Cucina Permanently Closed - Dublin

Terribly sized food portions for the price but staff and ambience were great

The food was average, not bad, especially the crostino, but definitely overpriced for the quality delivered. As for the noise levels, the music was extremely loud, which would be ideal for a nightclub but not for a restaurant where you want to have a conversation. It is difficult enough to hear the waiters with the masks on, but the music made it even harder. Everybody at the tables had to shout to speak to one another which is not great in the current climate. The waiters themselves were friendly and helpful but I would not go back there for the reasons mentioned above

The food was great and the staff were so friendly and were even willing to take some photos for us even though they were busy

Beside the reallky nice waiter (easter european accent, middle age, man) the rest was simply a disaster. Music was extremely loud, food was really ppor (both quantity and quality, especailly quantity) and the overcharged us complementary service, for groups and we were persons, they ended up removing it...The place is really nice, architecture, lights, but definilty needs to improve a lot

This is the worst dining experience I have had in Dublin due to one of the waiters We booked a table and deposited the money required, which I understood due to the busy time. There was a very rude waiter who said to us (quote) 'Nobody comes to a restaurant just to order deserts when he got to know that we were just ordering wine and deserts, other than a full set three-course meal We completely understand the rationale behind this, but the way this message was delivered to us was very unprofessional, disrespectful and in fact, very rude. I could think of a million ways to better tell your customers the same information. The waiter is black (This is not related to race at all! but his language could come across rude due to English not being his first language? benefit of the doubt is given here However, when we were leaving, the nice female receptionist was super nice and professional, making it less awkward to both sides Still, no customers should be treated like this
