The team from Ruby Red Flamingo and Tony Tomatoes have added another great dining spot to O'Connell Street. As expected on a Saturday night it was really busy which gave it great atmosphere. We could easily have eaten everything on the menu but restrained ourselves. The charcuterie board was a great way to start and it was generous. Definitely try the crispy pigs ears - they are strips of crunchy goodness. The gorgonzola croquettes were also excellent. Our request to have the gnocchi with the ragu, whilst considered unusual by the kitchen, was accommodated. The pork belly was delicious and the green beans with njuda and pecorino were a great side. There were a few service issues which have passed on to the owner but I would definitely recommend L'Italy - it's not just another Italian restaurant.
Attentive, friendly service - especially Ricardo, he was fantastic while juggling a constantly revolving door of patrons coming and going. The food was quality, from the antipasti, the pasta, the vegetables - the drink options were also great and they have some awesome drink specials. Would definitely come back! Grazie
These days, it’s not often I get inspired to write a blog post. Life just seems to get in the way. And then comes L’italy and I feel compelled to spread the word. L’italy is brought to us by Walter Ventura and the team responsible for Ruby Red Flamingo and Tony Tomatoes and it’s in the same location as their pop-ups Spaghetti Crab (yum!) and Spaghetti Meatballs.
