Il Padrino in Cork

Loved this place! We got this on a local recomendation and it was a good one. Food was equal to Rome but the hostess and service made the experience great! Highly recomend

We found it by chance, but it was a sure hit. The food was excellent, and the service was exceptional. The lasagna was spectacular. Be aware that they charge you the mandatory 10% tip when you pay.

Great food, reasonable price. Staff were 10 out of 10.

I visited Il Padrino for dinner as a group of four people. I would recommend reserving a table. The restaurant fills up with diners very quickly after 6pm. There is a great variety of dishes to choose from. We ordered Arancini, or deep fried rice balls, and garlic bread for starters. Both were delicious, though we would have welcomed more than two rice balls on the plate. For the main course, everybody ordered something different: risotto, tagliatelle, chips. We all enjoyed our meals. I had tagliatelle with chicken and mushroom sauce, "Tagliatelle al Pollo", which was exceptional and the garlic bread accompanying the dish was nice. The staff were all friendly and very quick to fulfill our requests for extra water and sharing plates. One nice improvement to the menu would be the addition of photos of most or all dishes on the menu. It makes it easier for people unfamiliar with Italian dishes to understand what is on offer. I would recommend Il Padrino to anyone looking to eat out at an Italian restaurant in the heart of Cork City.

Very good, the food is very good, the portions are very large, the staff is attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere is pleasant and welcoming. There are various prices, we ordered a risotto and a pasta dish, they are served with garlic bread, the quantities are abundant and about €20 each dish.

Very busy place, but we were seated and served quickly.

Very good pasta carbonara!!!! We loved it! The service a 10, Ania (from Girona too) and her partner served us wonderfully. The burrata with tomato was also very good, small portion. If you can, the inside is much nicer. Highly recommended!

A hidden gem. Small and quaint. Lovely atmosphere, busy on Saturday night, excellent service, food delicious

Love il Padrino. Los gerentes son extremadamente amables cada vez que visitamos. Los camareros son muy acogedores también. Recomendamos gambas, bruschetta y penne ruspanti... nunca decepcionan. Muy recomendable il Padrino, 10 / 10 : )

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.
