Roberta's

It is a decent place to hangout. The atmosphere is nice and stylish. The bar is so cool. The indoor is loudly a bit because of the music. If you are looking for more cosy and talking place, this is not the first option. The food is average okay not bad but not wow. The service was okay too maybe it was a busy time therefore no judgements.

Great Italian cuisine, would highly recommend, my favorite was the Calamari for starters. The restaurant is also aesthetically pleasing with good lighting

Visited on a Friday night as a group of nine. Food was gorgeous throughout, service was friendly, a healthy dose of playful banter, and the restaurant itself is interesting.

Situated in the heart of Temple Bar, Roberta's was recommended by a local. And it's easy to see why, great location, great beers and food, all top off with fabulous service. Recommend.

Celebrated my birthday here (along with 4 other groups!) 🤣 Fantastic food and service I’d love to come back

What a beautiful and illuminated place, I loved its decoration and the food is not far behind, good presentation, delicious food and good service. Thank you very much for the food.

Myself and my partner were at Roberta's last night and we really enjoyed ourselves. The waitress was amazing, a very nice Italian woman who paid particular attention to detail. She even organised a birthday cake when I mentioned that it was my partner's birthday! (Thank you for everything!) The food was amazing and the ambient was also very relaxing and enjoyable. The food and service was a 10/10. I have been there 4 times and I can definitely say that I will be there again.

One of the most delicious meals I've had traveling. It was by complete fluke that we found this hidden gem near temple bar. They had such a diverse menu and all of the food we saw coming out of the kitchen looked incredible (including pizzas). The restaurant definitely has a European vibe so if you are American please remember you are allowed to take your time at dinner. Service isn't "slow" it's pretty standard over there. Everything we ate I would recommend. Pictured/labeled it all but this is a restaurant I've already recommended to colleagues that live across the pond. I had never had featherblade, and I will now be watching for it on menus. It was SO dang good, the meat practically melted in your mouth but wasn't too fatty in texture. I look forward to being back in Dublin and returning to Roberta's for another night out. PS if you want tiny pub to check out post dinner (and dessert) take a walk down to Anne's. It's not far and the place has less than 10 tables and great live music.

Great food and excellent cocktails in a fun, open space. Would have given 5 stars, but chasing down servers and bartenders was difficult. Highly recommend if you are not in a rush and don't mind slow (almost non-existent) service.

Food good. Service not so much. It's a huge place with a great vibe but doesn't seem like management has the employees working very efficiently. Everyone runs all over doing everything. Our service was terrible.

A beautiful hidden gem in the heart of Dublin. Food is gourmet, staff is extremely friendly and attentive. I had the best cocktail of my life, the Clover Club, and it was just as beautiful as it was tasty. Amazing first dining experience in Dublin!!!!

Had dinner here tonight. The food was mediocre at best and the service was very slow. 20 minutes wait for a drink could not wait to leave n get my check. Restaurant was full of twenty something's who don't know better what they are eating. The drinks cost the same as the food. This place is best avoided!

I'm assuming Roberta died years ago leaving a beautiful space and a couple of nice servers. Unfortunately she never taught the lazy slobs in the kitchen how to cook. Pizza was undercooked. Everything else was anything but Italian. Closer to chef boy Ardee with red pepper flakes. Shrimp tasted very fishy which generally means it's been sitting out since lunch. And for the price it's just bad. Have a nice romantic drink and gtfo.

We decided to try this new place out recently (the entrance door is beside the porterhouse on east Essex street) and after you climb the stairs (lovely smell of fresh wood) you enter the restaurant and are greeted by friendly staff who show you to your table. We had reserved a Liffey view table which was nice & bright but the noise level is somewhat higher than if you eat in the other area which has lovely seating. The bar area is within a impressive bright atrium type area and there is a separate smoking area under a canopy accessed through a door. There's a good cocktail selection and good wine list. Food wise we tried three starters: all were lovely especially the oxtail potstickers & oysters presented three ways. The mains: lamb with aubergine was fantastic & the sirloin steaks were chargrilled cooked and had lovely flavour. The desert list didn't excite us enough to try.

Well it wasn't the worst pepperoni pizza I've ever had. It certainly wasn't the best. They weren't the worst fries I've ever had and, likewise, they weren't the best. The salmon and crayfish starter we started was pretty ok, the Albariño we shared was excellent as was the port and cheese we had at the end. What made the evening excellent, apart from the company, was the great buzz and all round ambience of a great location and room. Service, to be honest, was barely adequate but didn't really take away from the evening. Would I come back? Probably. Would I rave about Roberta's? Probably not. It's not the worst meal I've had all year, it just wasn't the best.

I love space that Roberta's occupies; there's a large glass greenhouse bar area in the middle, and dining on both sides. One of the dining areas has a great view of the river! Seeing pubs and mediocre food everywhere, Roberta's is a small oasis that has a nice casual elegant atmosphere and enjoyable food. I had the mushroom pasta and it was a pleasant surprise. I thought it would be just another boring pasta dish, but it came out al dente and had good layering of flavors. Was it NY/SF quality? No, but that's not a fair comparison. Oh, and did I mention the desserts all sound great and taste even better? The only aspect that bothered me a little was the service. Our waiter(s) kept switching up on us during service, and neither was particularly friendly. In fact, at one point we asked the waiter what one of the components in a dessert was, and he refused to tell us ... to prevent us from making it at home?

Bad nite. Unhappy with food, service, cocktails poor, coffee cold. Fully charged after a few complaints. Wont be back.

Empty tables everywhere for brunch but apparently kitchen was constrained so we could only get pizza in the bar area. Ignored by the bartender repeatedly. Finally ordered our pizza (just ok, by NYC standards anyway) and two minutes before it comes out a manager says we can sit in the dining room and order from the full menu. WTF? Disaster.

We felt like trying somewhere new and had heard good things. So my colleague and I stopped in for dinner rather early (say about 5ish) one weekend night. It started well, no wait for a table, we were led to the back past the impressive looking bar area. I got a cinnamon and sage old fashioned, she got something involving gin. My drink was nice but I couldn't really get the cinnamon and sage flavour. I got a starter and a side instead of a main as I wasn't all that hungry and it was still a challenge to finish the two. So I got the beef cheeks starter which came on a bed of celeriac purée. It was so incredibly well done- the meat was perfectly seasoned and basically falling apart tender, the celeriac was a creamy accompaniment. The side was roasted mushrooms with grilled artichoke hearts and asparagus in a cream sauce. The flavors and textures combined beautifully and it was incredibly rich! My friend had the duck pizza which she said was gorgeous. We didn't have any room left for dessert. Service wise, it started out great, but then that server disappeared and a new came in, which is a bit odd. Every other table was given a carafe of water, we never even got refills! The food was dropped off in a hurry, then we had to flag someone down to ask for wine. Overall, lovely place, nice vibe, delicious but rather overpriced food and spotty service.

Beautiful venue. Terrible service. I went with a group of 6 for a special occasion in December. It is a gorgeous restaurant and it was bustling with people and atmopshere. However it was probably the worst service that I ever received in a restaurant. The server was clearly disinterested being there. Server was slow to take order of prosecco to start. He then took our food order. He was slow to come back to check on us or to take our wine order. We had to chase him down to order the wine after the meal came. The food was nice but would have been nicer if we had glass of wine to accompany. Server came back to take our dessert. When we asked him what the chocolate special was like e.g. cake , mousse etc. He simply said that they had introduced new menu and he did hadn't been in since to see it. There was no offer of finding out which we requested him to do. We had to ask a couple of times for our check - from hostess and different server before it finally came. Might be a nice place for drinks but I wouldn't rush back for meal.

Eclectic menu and wine list. Beautiful presentation fresh and creative ingredients. Good service vibrant bar scene. We felt very hip!

There's a 4 cheese pizza with blue cheese on it that is AMAZING! All the food here was good. And this place is seriously cool.

Good place, I absolute love the decor and the vibe. However the food I got a bit of mixed experiences, I got the oxtail for starter and it was delicious then the main course was linguine with shrimps and clams, I ate half of it.. it did not taste good at all, it tasted like fish in a bad way. My fiancé got goat cheese and chorizo for starter, which also not good, however his pizza was really good! So mixed feelings, I left the place thinking "next time maybe just drinks"

Great staff and service. Starting with the barman who made a cocktail that wasn't on their menu to the waitress who sent out gluten free bread to our table when they realised I was gluten intolerant. The food was delicious and we had a lovely catch-up and weren't rushed out despite being the last people there. I would highly recommend coming here for dinner and drinks.

Gorgeous venue, mediocre at best food. Ordered steak medium, came out well done as in zero pink in the center , had ice cream Sunday for dessert that had been pre made and put back in the freezer so that there was huge ice lumps in the ice cream, come on guys?! Also we had sparkling water for the table that was basically flat and we ordered three bottle that were all like this so not just a dud. It's a shame the food majorly lets this place down because the overall vibe is very cool. I'd say coming here for drinks is a good bet but maybe get dinner elsewhere.
