Il Padrino in Cork

We started with the sambuca prawns, which were genuinely delicious – a nice sweet kick to the sauce that worked really well. However, at €12.70, they felt overpriced for the portion size. My mum is coeliac, so she had the olives without bread as they don’t offer gluten free bread. It was disappointing to see there are no gluten free pizza options at all. She ended up ordering the spaghetti alla bolognese, which unfortunately was very oily and lacked flavour. I ordered the fusilli con gamberetti. While there were plenty of prawns, the dish itself was let down by the pesto completely overpowering everything else, making it quite unbalanced and hard to enjoy. We also got chips on the side (not gluten free). At €5.40, I expected something fresh, but they were clearly frozen and not worth the price. Service was also disappointing. The female host wasn’t particularly friendly, and one of the waiters came across as dismissive and unhelpful, which didn’t make for a great experience overall.

Amazing authentic Italian restaurant.

The food is so nice. The restaurant get full very quickly. The price is reasonable.

i got the pepperoni pizza and i was gorgeous. it was a lovely atmosphere and the waiter was very kind

Booked for 24 people. Every single one loved it. The food was amazing and the staff were very amicable. Vibes of the place were fantastic. Easily the best place we could have chosen for the event.

Great service, lovely big portions, delightful.

I like the garlic bread most! And tiramisu

Love going here. Food is amazing, Staff are so welcoming and engaging, Atmosphere is beautiful, We love everything about the restaurant, couldn't recommend it enough to you all. You have to try it yourself to understand it 👌👌

You pay for what you get so in this case its worth it.

I got the chicken lasagna and my friend the spaghetti carbonara and both were amazing!
