    Myself and my partner have been so excited to come here. We have been waiting for a good Filipino-style restaurant to come to Dublin. The decor is calm and cozy and the walls are covered with gorgeous artwork. We were served by Alex, who was very friendly and made us feel super welcome. We ordered the cherrywood smoked pork ribs, scallops, dynamite lumpia and masala fries. Everything was delicious, we left nothing on our plates. We also tried a few of their unique cocktails: Ube Colada, Mango Masala, Pandan Gin Fizz and Tamarind Sour! The Ube Colada was nice, I personally think it could do with a little more ube flavouring and coconut cream but the other three were flawless! We are already planning our next visit!

    Easy to make a reservation, right in the heart of Temple Bar, perfect for date nights. Just wave to wait outside till they come get you, then you’re shuffled off to particular floor and table. From there the magic begins, fancy drinks very typical to generational period. Food is off the chains good!! We started with cheese and meat boards, old fashioned and some other frothy drink similar to a pornstar martini… server was so great, kind and attentive. Bar tender served drinks like a maestro… cants wait to go back again!

    Splendid solo dinner here on Saturday night before the theatre. Every single thing delicious especially the hibiscus basted lamb. If I had a criticism it would only be that the millefeuille wasn’t very sweet but really lovely in all other respect. Already booked to return. Attentive and thoughtful staff made sure I was comfortable and well looked after.

    We had a lovely time at Toni, the food was delicious and the staff were very friendly and efficient. I went here for my girlfriends birthday and checked the special occasion box on the booking not expecting much, but the staff were so lovely having a balloon on the table ready for us and even putting a candle in the cake and playing ‘happy birthday’ for the dessert. Overall a fantastic experience all round would recommend to anyone looking for an Italian to eat at in the heart of Dublin.
