Hidden by One Society is tucked away in Thundercut Alley at Smithfield Market in Dublin 7, a short walk from Smithfield Square. Established in 2024, it’s part of the One Society group and combines relaxed daytime dining with a more distinctly Italian offering in the evening. The restaurant describes its approach as simple, ingredient-led cooking, using locally sourced produce where possible.
The current daytime menu is built around casual lunch dishes and some of the restaurant's popular brunch-style plates. Dishes include pancakes, a brisket burger made with Irish beef, and a Korean-style crispy chicken burger, while the menu changes regularly. From the afternoon, the focus switches to Italian tapas, wood-fired pizza and wine, giving the restaurant a more distinctly Italian identity later in the day.
The pizza selection includes classics alongside more creative combinations, with toppings such as salami picante, nduja, burrata, mortadella and pistachio. There are vegetarian options too, including a pizza topped with mozzarella, roast aubergine, Padrón peppers and caramelised onions. The pasta menu includes dishes such as arrabbiata and chicken alla Genovese, while the drinks list has a strong emphasis on Italian wines.
The setting is casual and intimate, with the restaurant tucked into the Smithfield Market development rather than occupying a prominent main-road site. It suits everything from a daytime lunch to an evening meal built around pizza, small plates and wine. Reviews particularly highlight the relaxed atmosphere, generous portions and friendly service.
Hidden is open Tuesday to Saturday, with daytime service followed by evening Italian dining. Sunday is daytime-only and the restaurant is closed on Mondays. The current official listing says bookings and walk-ins are both welcome, with a proportion of tables kept available for walk-in diners.
