Il Padrino in Cork

My favourite Italian restaurant in Cork by far. They do an amazing spaghetti carbonara. Have been coming here for years. Great service aswell.

I have quite literally come back for seconds! It’s my go-to spot for veg pasta, to say the least. Amazing food, great staff. Love it!

I love this restaurant and have been going here on and off here for probably 15 years. Anything I say here is in the context of me liking the restaurant and is meant in a constructive way. The best thing about this place is undoubtedly the staff. They're always friendly and kind, particularly when there are kids involved. I ordered a pizza margherita. The base wasn't "right". It didn't have the elasticity and lightness found in a good base. The base reminded me of a sort of crusty bread in texture. Previous pizzas in Il Padrino haven't always been like this, although the last few times they have been. The tomato sauce wasn't pletniful on the pizza and didn't have any tang or basil flavour. The pizza was laden with a salty mozzarella and cheddar. The experience at the restaurant was lovely. The atmosphere was lovely. The lighting and setting also really pleasing. I'll always turn here as I've always liked these factors but please give us the pizzas like ye used to make - light, full of flavour, and not too cheesy. I hope ye don't mind the feedback.

Dropped in for early evening dinner for four, before a show at the Marquee, on Jul 3. We really enjoyed the food. We had two servers, who were real characters, making our visit all the more interesting. Would definitely go back.

Staff were incredibly lovely and helpful. The restaurant has an amazing atmosphere. The food quality is exceptional!

I really liked this place. Nice staff and very tasty food. Very atmospheric place.

First class all round. Stephen was fantastic..Has to be a visit while in Cork

Amazing food and great atmosphere

Un restaurante italiano de primera clase en el corazón de la ciudad de Cork. Nos quedamos tan impresionados por Il Padrino. Es un restaurante encantador. La comida era tan sabrosa con un vino encantador para ayudar. Una buena opción en el menú. Personal muy amable y atento y un ambiente encantador. Muy recomendable.

Tuve una buena cena de cumpleaños aquí. La comida estaba en gran medida bien, pero las bebidas, el servicio y el ambiente eran todos de primera categoría. Sin duda uno de los restaurantes más decentes de Cork.
