  <RestaurantDetails>Ragazzi Italian Ristorante - 109 Coliemore Road, Dalkey - 01 284 7280 - ragazzi109@yahoo.com - 5.30-10.30 - What a find. This is a truly authentic Italian Restaurant. I was there with friends on Monday and we had a tasting menu of a few different dishes, including mozzarella and bresaola tart, penne arrabiata, calamarai and chicken in a mascarpone sauce. It was so nice and very reasonable. I ordered a salami pizza to take home and it reminded me of the pizza I had when I was in Italy. They have a nice selection of italian wines by the glass too. I will definitely be going there again soon.</RestaurantDetails>

    <comment>The pasta dishes in Ragazzi are fantastic and the pizzas are also very good. The winelist is small but good. The service is always good and the staff are friendly and helpful.</comment>

    <comment>I've patronized Ragazzi's for well over a year ever since we found this hideaway eatery in the heart of Dalkey. Every visit the service, cuisine and value has always been exceptional. I brought one of my mates over to sample the irresistible Italian food my partner and I have been raving about and she is now a convert. Without a doubt, every time she flies over from London, she demands we eat at Ragazzi. Every other mate I've taken there has given two thumbs up on the remarkable Italian food they serve. 

The wait staff are quite charming and talkative without ever being overbearing or annoying. The owner frequents the establishment and appears to be quite favorable with a huge list of returning clientèle. I would confidently state that the staff are attentive, accommodating and friendly. If we ever found any discrepancy with our order, they would rectify the situation immediately, which hasn't ever occurred. 

I always tell my partner that I'll force myself to try another dish, but the pasta is unreal. The dish I usually order has pasta with spinach in a creamy tomato based sauce. One sampling of it, and its heaven on the palette. The pasta immediately wraps your tongue in a tantalizing and seductive dance thereby melting on your tongue as your mind overcomes its charms. Absolutely divine. I love Raggazi and can't wait to return.    </comment>

    <comment>Our first time here on a wet Sunday night and it was a very enjoyable experience indeed. Restaurant is small downstairs but has another room upstairs. We were there at around 5:30 and it was empty it did fill up during our meal and seems to be a busy spot and a takeaway service is avalable. Bruschetta starter with nice sweet tomatoes and good olive oli used. Mains of Spaghetti with fresh clams, asparagus, chilli and garlic was beautifull with fresh ingredients and beautifull fresh taste.Free range chicken in a sauce of mascarpone with small roast potatoes was very tasty and light lovely flavours. We had desserts Panatoni with berries was gorgeous my partner said and she is a lover of Panatoni,I had a chocolate ice cream  cake with a hot espresso poured over and it was scrumptious.Only negative was the lack of and Early Bird Menu but this will not stop us from going back again.</comment>

    <comment>First time here last Saturday.  Had heard a lot of good reports and was not disappointed.  Great atmosphere, great food, good-humoured and helpful service with reasonable prices.  I had the carpaccio to start and a contadina (chicken and mushroom) pizza for a main.  Both delicious.  My three dining companions all raved about their food too.  Sambuccas on the house to finish.  Can't wait to go back..</comment>

    <comment>Went here last night for my mum's birthday, 8 of us. Lovely restaurant, great atmosphere and staff are very friendly. Food was delicious, but maybe slightly overpriced i thought. Had the antipasti between 7 of us totaling €55 (eek!) but the mains were good portions size.Had a lovely time overall. Would definatley go back, but maybe not in that big a group again. Very tasty! </comment>

    <comment>We had a lovely pizza bread starter - garlic and thyme I think, wow it was delicious.  I like the service - rushed and happy but attentive enough.  It's a small squashed up place but not bad at all.  Got a decent portion main course and I changed one or two things on the menu and that was no problem which was nice.</comment>
