Dall'Italiano Restaurant Glasnevin

You'll find this Italian spot tucked away on Hart's Corner in Glasnevin, and it's exactly the kind of place that makes you feel smug about living on the northside. The kind of restaurant where the staff actually care about what they're serving, and where you can bring your nan without breaking the bank or worrying about pretentious nonsense. The menu does all the Italian classics properly – no fusion experiments or Instagram-bait dishes, just solid cooking that reminds you why simple done well beats complicated done poorly every time. Portions are generous without being ridiculous, and the prices make it the sort of place you can actually afford to become a regular. It's the kind of neighbourhood spot every area deserves but few actually get.
