My partner and myself dined in the restaurant today, a rare beautiful day in South Dublin. We welcomed back the restaurant, as we knew it well. The wine list showed value, but lacked information and experience (gavi di gavi listed as 24 euro is only gavi). There was plenty of choice on the various menus, but we both went with... More

I love Italian food, but it is often over-cooked and stodgy. Here it is spot on and, as well as the gorgeous sea view and tasteful decor, they have a proper wood-burning stove for the pizzas. Delicious. Can't fault the wine either, but service was a tiny bit slow and we were served by just about every waiter/waitress in the... More

This is myself and my partners favourive restaurant. We have been eating here at least once every two weeks for three years and we have never had a bad experience. It is the most Authentic Italian restaurant I have eaten in and the only one I will eat in now. The view of the sea is breathtaking and adds to... More

Have eaten on several occasions now at Oliveto's - what a welcome addition to the Dun Laoghaire restaurant scene! Oliveto's have taken over all non-accommodation elements of the Kingston Hotel and transformed it as a venue. The location is superb, with terrific sea views; the lovely Victorian drawing room is a charming place for aperitifs - with real wood fires... More

Ate here yesterday with 9 year old son and his friend. It was excellent, pizzas were superb. Thin base, crispy with quality ingredients. Cooked in proper pizza oven too; you can really taste the difference. Service was slick and room is big and airy with tables not to close together. Desert excellent too. Will be back. Could not fault it. More

6 of us wined and dined at Oliveto in Dun Laoghaire on Sunday afternoon last and it was really great. It has a postcard view looking out over sailing boats and the deep blue sea in Dublin Bay and the building itself - the ground floor of the Kingston Hotel - I can best describe as 'understated cool'. The staff... More

spending a few months in Dublin had us in and out of Oliveto for lunch, dinner and a cocktail after work and the odd one late at night. We had a great welcome every time and decided to have New Years Eve with a bunch of pals! What a hoot, great value, great food and a great crew. Looking forward... More

Having previously had an enjoyable stay in the Kingston Hotel last year with our baby we headed back to Dublin at the end of February for a family reunion, in-laws in tow. As I had recommended the hotel to them (they wanted to be more city based) we were nervous that they may be less tolerant of some of the... More
