My partner and I celebrated our 10th anniversary with a celebratory dinner at this establishment. We were thoroughly pleased with the service and cuisine, as it lived up to our expectations. The dessert was a particular highlight of the evening.Definitely will come again!
A great little find off the main road on Parnell. It was very quiet which was nice for us as a family of 5. Had really generous sized meals packed with lots of flavour. The drinks were nice and cold I enjoyed the passion fruit mojito. Our children loved their meals just a bit large for them. The lunch specials were delicious and very lovely service from the hosts. Reasonable pricing for quality meals.
I had the loveliest meal here tonight! The food was absolutely delicious—every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. What made the experience even better was the incredibly friendly staff. They made me feel so welcome, and I truly appreciated how comfortable they made dining alone feel. It was the perfect spot to enjoy a great meal with my book, and I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!
Came here with friends tonight and enjoyed absolutely top class food, wine and service. My wife’s gluten free Chicken Pasta was excellent as was my Venison. Our friends had the Fireball Pasta and the Lamb Rack. They were impressed. The lamb rack was exceptional. We finished with the chocolate cake dessert which was great. The restaurant is intimate and warm and the service was friendly and professional. Value for money was excellent too. We’ve been to plenty of overpriced over rated restaurants in the city, driving past Di Mare on the way. We won’t be making that mistake again - Di Mare is now going to be a regular haunt. Can’t wait to go there again.
We had the most wonderful experience at Di Mare for dinner last night. The owners are the ones running the whole operation, from cooking the food to serving it. They are such lovely, hospitable people. The food was absolutely DIVINE! We had the garlic bread, calamari, fruto di mare with pasta and the rack of lamb with mint sauce. We also had incredible deserts like the panacota and the fried bananas with ice cream. The atmosphere is so cozy and reminds you of being at Nona’s house. All together, we had an incredible time and would recommend this restaurant to anyone!
