Lena

The 38 Best Restaurants in Dublin, Ireland | Eater

"Lena is as close to the perfect restaurant as it gets. From the team behind Uno Mas and Etto, it delivers confident, razor-sharp Italian cooking with no gimmicks. Start with the crisp, golden sage and anchovy fritti, before moving to the thick, house-made pici cacio e pepe, which carries its silky, peppery sauce with ease. The halibut with vermouth sauce is masterfully cooked, while the osso buco arrives with shimmering saffron risotto. The wine list is serious and the execution flawless. Know before you go: You’ll want to book ahead — though good luck getting a table." - Corinna Hardgrave
