Little Forest is a top quality Italian spot that nails both the food and the vibe.

Food:
Pizza was excellent — crispy but still soft and doughy. Pastas were the real standout. Fresh, homemade, and full of flavour. The pig ragu was very good, but the silk handkerchief garlic and mushroom pasta was on another level. Tiramisu to finish was fresh and delicious.

Ambience:
Modern decor but still relaxed. Nice, chilled atmosphere.

Service:
Good, friendly service.

Overall:
Sensational Italian food, great value, and a really enjoyable all-round meal.

This restaurant is my new favourite dinner spot. I have only been once and everything about the experience was lovely. The waitress was extremely kind, the atmosphere was calm and the food was focused on fresh ingredients with amazing taste. I can’t wait to come back here again ♡

An amazing restaurant in a little hidden place in Blackrock. They deserve 5 stars in everything. Service was attentive and very helpful. The food was out of this world! We went for the set menu. Enjoyed every part of it, the sourdough bread with olive oil, starters, crab risotto, pizza were delicious. For a dessert we had amaretti cookies, fig and mascarpone cream. It was awesome!
