Piano Piano is an authentic Italian restaurant in Rathgar, born from a love of slow cooking and simple ingredients. With a dash of Italian flair and a generous sprinkle of passion, our story began, slowly, steadily like a rich sauce simmering until it’s just right.
From the very first evening, laughter found its way through our cosy trattoria. Glasses clinked, friends gathered, and the warmth of Italy settled into the air. In the kitchen, dough was kneaded, pasta was rolled by hand, and simple ingredients were transformed into something memorable.
Every dish at Piano Piano is a small chapter in our culinary tale rooted in tradition, lifted by creativity, and always made with love. And our name, which means “slowly, slowly” in Italian, is more than a name. It’s our philosophy: a reminder to take your time, savour the flavours, and celebrate life’s best moments around the table.

Very nice small Italian place. Group Had carbonara and chicken with bruschetta, meatballs, and Caesar salad as appetizers. Everything was delicious, service was attentive.

Thought the portions a little small, thr Fruir de Mer was short on fish and been charged +€5.00 for the chicken dish on the early bird menu was a disappointment when you saw how small the chicken was with no side servings.

Very disappointing experience. The pasta was very subpar as was the portion size. Their prices are exorbitant. Better off walking to Rathmines..

Really nice place. Been here twice, once with family and second with my partner. Very kind and attentive staff. Food was very tasty and presentation was great. The “pink” cocktail is very delicious. 100% would go back here again. Music is also really relaxing. 😊
We ordered 2 starters, 2 mains, 2 drinks and one side. It was just over €130 all together including tip. I don’t mind spending over €100 on tasty authentic food.

Decent tasting food, but shrinkflation has hit these guys hard.
€14 for 3 small meatballs in a standard tomato sauce.
€6 for 3 slices of bread in the "breadbasket" that was labeled sourdough but certainly wasn't.
€12 for 3 lettuce leaves in a Caesar salad.
On top of that, there's a service charge for group of 4.

Six of us came for dinner and chose the early bird menu, which is fantastic value. We’ve been to Piano Piano before, and the menu has changed a small bit, Everything we had was delicious, especially the pizza and the meatballs. A really lovely evening and highly recommend.

I recently visited Piano Piano Dublin 6. The food was decent, but the service was very disappointing.
We received our starter without issue, but then waited over an hour for our main course. During that time, tables who arrived after us were served their mains and even finished dessert. When I raised this with the manager, she didn’t acknowledge the delay and insisted everything was served in order, which was frustrating and dismissive.
Because of this, I would give one star for the service. The way the situation was handled completely ruined the experience for us.

Orderd the veal starter which was tasty but expensive for 6 small slices. The seafood pasta was disappointing. For nearly 30 euro you would expect a much larger portion and actual fresh seafood. There was no squid in it either. Tiramisu was also disappointing. Service good but I wouldn't return
