Guidebook for Dublin 2
Food Scene
My favorite Italian restaurant in town. Just 5 minutes walk from the apartment, run by a few crazy Italians who share passion for quality and good food. The place is very small, so it's better to reserve. Let them know Luca sent you and they'll give you even more love! Best for dinner.

Drinks & Nightlife
My absolute favorite place for cocktails in Dublin. Better gat a reservation. The place is kind of a "secret" and hard to find -
behind a hidden door with a bell on a side street.
