Fantastic food and service - really top quality. Lovely atmosphere, though a little dark where we were seated. I would have preferred to be able to see the presentation on the plates better. Perhaps Christmas decorations hung on light fittings were to blame? Can't overstate how good the food and service were. All wait staff was amazing. Thanks again for a great evening

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.
