Manifesto

I heard so much time about their pizza, that was so good.
So I needed to try. With my boyfriend we went for lunch (one pizza and one drink for 10 €) and we shared the Mammy and the other one which received a reward.
The mammy was the best one!
The only bad thing, the place was darker for lunch, I think the place should be better for dinner.

Best Pizza in Dublin! Pizza is delicious as the real Italian Pizza and prices are really good!

Saying is that this is the best pizza in Dublin… Don’t know for sure, but it is definitely one of the rare places where you can get in only with reservation. Place looks really nice, all the staff are Italians (as well as the cook), but as this is not guarantee for anything, primo piato gnocchi was nothing special, maybe even a disappointment. But then came the principessa pizza and it was really good (even after heated in microwave).
Be aware that most of the pizza during the lunch are ten euros each with juice gratis. For dinner, those same pizzas cost around 15 – 16 euros.

Great place for a pre-​cinema meal! I’ve eaten here a few times and the pizza and pasta are both really nice. They have a good selection of starters and a reasonably priced wine list as well. While I still prefer Paulie’s, this place comes pretty close.

Firstly if you want to eat there: book! I’m glad a friend told me to do that as the place is small (but very cosy) and also very busy. I was very curious as I heard so many good things about their pizzas. We booked a table at 6 on Friday. We started by sharing the bruschetta and what I clearly remember is the size of the mozzarella — it was delicious. I then had the mamy pizza which won an award. It was aubergine mozzarella Parma ham and tomatoes — I might forget something because again, I’m focused on the amount of mozzarella and how good it was. We ended with the Nutella chocolate mousse which was surprising light and easy to eat. We pour ourselves glasses of the house red wine which was good too (and it’s a French talking!). I already want to go back. If you’re looking for typical Italian food in a cosy place this is the perfect venue.

I had a very good experience with my girlfriend at Manifesto! We came here with the idea to have a pizza but we changed our mind once we had a look at the menu. We had parmigiana with basil ice cream as appetizer. Then we ordered two primi piatti: spaghetti with tomato sauce, burrata cheese, prawns and bacon flakes and ravioli filled with bufala mozzarella with pistacchio pesto and prawns. We then finished this great dinner with a chocolate soufflé with ice cream and two espresso coffee. In general, the experience was great and we can definitely say that this is at the moment the best Italian place in town. Looking forward to come back to try the pizza!

Authentic italian pizza, the best in Dublin! Very good deal of 10 euro for 1 pizza + soft drink on saturday and sunday lunch

Really good pizza! Fresh ingredients and really tasty; autentich Italian pastry and flavours

Awesome deal at lunch. 10 € full pizza + drink. Pizzas are top notch. Highly recommended

After spotting the sign for award-​winning pizza in the window, I popped in last Sunday with my partner. The hostess was delightful, and sat us even though we didn’t have a reservation, on the promise that they gave the table back before seven. We were hungry and weren’t getting starters anyway, so this was a deal we could manage. Our server was not quite as friendly as her co-​worker, however. We ordered two veggie pizzas and the roasted potatoes; I’m a fierce woman for the spuds, you see.
So after much negotiation with my partner, we decided to split the pizzas; his was loaded with veg, feta and pesto and was a bit strong, while mine, the margarita, was a little plain. This, teamed with our delicious shpuds, was the perfect goldilocks food combo. The carafe of wine we got was lovely, but overpriced at 20 euros for a 500ml carafe, but the food was reasonable enough. When we did return the table at 7pm, there was only two other tables occupied in the whole restaurant.
I’ve no major beef with the place, and would probably go back at a push… but only after a long while as I don’t eat ham, so choices are limited.

I went there on a Friday evening without reservation and they found me a table (I was lucky because the place was packed).
I ordered what the restaurant is famous for, pizza, and I wasn’t disappointed as it was excellent. Desserts are fine as well.
The service could be quicker but the place was full and they were nice so no problem for that.
Yeah, probably my best pizza in Dublin so far, but Ciao Bella Roma comes close!

Honestly the best pizza I have ever had from a resteraunt. I went for their notorious mamy pizza and would recommend that others do the same it is delicious. speedy service however you may have to book in advance as there were reservation cards on most tables however we walked in around six without a problem. A bit pricey but you will not be disappointed

Manifesto is definitely worth a visit!
It’s good Italian food, presented beautifully in a really nice setting. We were there on a Saturday and it was packed to the gills so if you don’t want to be disappointed, make a reservation!
They have a decent menu, with the pizzas looking like the most popular option for most, and it’s no wonder, they are so tasty you just keep eating until you can’t fit any more in (apart from dessert, of course). I had the Pollo Manifesto which was really tasty but a bit on the small side, an opinion that was shared around the table for the majority of dishes apart from the pizzas, so we were glad we had ordered some sides for the table to share.
Desserts were definitely the highlight though. There was a satisfied «mmmmmm» around the table as everybody tucked into their desserts and the general consensus was that nobody wanted to share. I managed to steal a taste of the tiramisu, semifreddo (mine) and brownie, along with one of the dessert wines– all delicious and the main reason why I’m planning a return trip very soon!

Went in here for a social meal the other day with some friends. The setting was nice and the food did come quickly. They also had some good meal deals which i took advantage of.
The starters came and as we shared them I can say they were all delicious. I had meatballs and I would say they were five out of five for taste.
However the main course was not. I ordered the don something pizza that it said in the menu was awarded irelands best pizza in 2012 or something along those lines. First off the pizza had two toppings, some meat and a vegetable/​cabbage item. They were not evenly spread around the pizza so it was all concentrated on one side of it. The taste was just not that great, i’ve had better takeaway pizzas. For a pizza supposedly worth twenty euro I was expecting more and I was very disappointed.
The dessert that I got though was excellent also so I have to say it was a pretty mixed bag. I don’t think i’d return though.

Expectations were high. I’ve been wanting to try this place for years and was excited to go somewhere with GF Italian options.
I called and booked a table with no problems, the venue is lovely and I really like the interior.
I was here with two fellow food lovers and we were all very excited about the food, award winning pizzas? Yes please.
Starters:
I had the pâté which was divine, the presentation was beautiful and looked like something from a 5 star restaurant, same went for the meatballs and the beetroot gnocchi, it was so damn good we were all in food heaven.
I was going to order a pizza when I saw there was a lobster option on the menu and I simply could not resists.
When the food arrived it looked like something out of a can, it tasted even worse, the tomato sauce was bland and reminded me of spaghetti-o’s, the lobster was dry and tasteless, it was not edible and we called over the manager to inform him about this. He said ”The pasta is not something we make and the lobster is fresh”
I am sure the lobster was very fresh but that did not change the fact it tasted like nothing and that he dismissed me completely.
He did offer me another dish and waived the charge but I didn’t even want more food from there after that.
My friends both had the award winning pizza and neither was impressed.
It was such an anti-​climax because the starters really were incredible but the service (or lack thereof) and the fact that they would serve € 22 lobster that looks like it has been cut with scissors by a toddler is just not acceptable in anyway.

I went here on Saturday with my mother for an impromptu lunch and having seen the ‘gluten free’ ad in the window we ventured to Manifesto.
I was shocked when I was told that gluten free options had to be ordered 24 HOURS IN ADVANCE.
How is this acceptable? As a coeliac, I find it laughable that you advertise the restaurant as coeliac-​friendly but can’t fulfill this promise without a day’s notice. Won’t be going back and recommend you make it clear that coeliacs aren’t catered for.

Never had pasta quite like the pasta frutti di mare. Freshly rolled it was green, thick and with a sauce that was light yet flavoursome and ample serving of moist shellfish and calamares. Could not fault the service, atmosphere or décor.
The Mamy pizza was also a treat. Not my first time dining in the gem of Rathmines, nor will it be the last.

The service here is not great. The staff are nice but very slow. This is excusable because the food is so good, but it’s a pity the only type of sausage available as a pizza topping is sausage with fennel.
I had the ravioli which was delicious but I’m lucky to have ordered roast potatoes on the side as the portion size would have otherwise been too small.
Tables are way too close together and I felt closer to the stranger on my left than the person I was dining with. Overall, the experience was alright, but I was very happy with the food — the most important thing!

Service is very good!
One of the best stone baked pizzas in dublin!
Is worth to go! Very good environment.

vous etes happé par la bonne odeur qui vous accueille en entrant dans le restaurant. les pizzas sont très bonnes. attention, un mercredi soir vers 20h00 il y avait beaucoup de monde. ce soir là nous étions seulement 2, si nous avions été plus nombreux, nous n’aurions pas pu diner car beaucoup de tables étaient réservées.
il y a des pizza végétariennes (ou possibilité de personnalser), une option de pâté à pizza sans gluten (non testée); en revanchen il pourrait y avoir plus d’option végétarienne pour les pates. Manifesto, si vous me lisez…
cela reste un restaurant à recommander!

The Pizza in Manifesto is excellent. Really enjoy eating here.
There is something really nice about eating there and the servers are always really nice.
Good value, Good Pizza. No complaints.
