"Any meeter greeter who says: "Please sit anywhere you like," rather than the oft herding of two women to a tiny table beside a toilet, kitchen or screaming baby, is on to a winner with me. And, as I keep on saying, a smile, a bit of charm (even smarm), adds a considerable sweetener to the pot. Happily, we were in receipt of both on our visit to La Vespa, a new Italian restaurant in Castle Market - an atmospheric almost plaza-like cut-through between South William and Drury Street, leading on to the Victorian George's Street Arcade and ultimately South Great George's Street."
"Dubbed the Creative Quarter of Dublin, the area was once the centre of our clothing and manufacturing industry, until the majority decamped from the Georgian houses to the modern units of business parks circling the M50. It's now a hotbed of nightlife with restaurants, big and small, galleries, and pubs."
La Vespa is a new Italian restaurant in Castle Market, located in an atmospheric plaza-like cut-through between South William and Drury Street. The experience is shaped by welcoming hospitality, including being offered seating anywhere rather than being herded to cramped tables near disruptive areas. A smile and charm are presented as key additions to the dining experience. The restaurant sits within Dublin’s Creative Quarter, an area historically tied to clothing and manufacturing that later shifted as businesses moved to modern units around the M50. The area has since become a nightlife hub with restaurants, galleries, and pubs.
