Il Padrino in Cork

The besta sea food with pasta that ever had😋😋😋

Had a party of 16 for a 50th birthday and everyone loved the setting, the food, and the service. The staff couldn't have been nicer they really looked after us from the welcome at the door to the goodbye at the end. I'll Padrino's is a beautiful and cosy family run business with some fantastic chefs and service staff turning out absolutely fabulous food, and reasonably priced too. Well done all.

Always happy to go there,great food, great service 😀 Highly recommend 👌

Great food, very friendly staff. Will definitely return.

The closest the you could get to Italy around Cork. Great pastas and service. Highly recommended.

We ordered a bruschetta, tagliatelle supreme and chicken lasagne. The service and the presentation was great, however the flavours were unlike any Italian food I've ever eaten - reminded me of a well spiced curry, which I usually love but not what I was expecting. And the food overall had way too much garlic. 1. Bruschetta - unlike a usual bruschetta where the ingredients shine, it had too many competing flavours -veggies, cheese, pesto sauce. (3/5) 2. Tagliatelle Supreme - crowded flavours, too much spice and heavily doused in a goopy heavy sauce (2/5) 3. Lasagne - It was served submerged in the same goopy sauce. The chicken was dry and I never say too much cheese but it had so much cheese which made it very heavy. (1/5) 4. Wine - Casa Carmela - perfect. (5/5) Overall experience - happy with the service and the atmosphere, the food was underwhelming and unexpected but then, the restaurant was receptive to the feedback. Maybe just a bad day!

This is a must go restaurant. If you haven't already been, make plans to do so. Excellent food. Reservation is required, but I dropped in three times in a month without one and still got a table. If you don't visit here you will miss out on one of Corks nicest and best dining spots. So get going, they are waiting to have you be their guest. I promise you, you will not be dissappointed!

Wonderful experience In this restaurant tonight .. food was delicious and the service excellent . Owner a delightful man who makes time for his customers . Lemon cello on the house as we left . Superb restaurant ..

Food was tasty but massive portions and absolutely smothered in thick, goopy sauce- pasta and steak both. Looked at a few reviews and the pictures looked gorgeous, but didn’t live up to reality. Maybe just a bad day? The garlic pizza bread that comes with the pasta is very tasty. Service was mediocre by some, friendly by others. Had a nice welcome and thank you goodbye from multiple servers. Very expensive for the area- no beer on tap so a 330ml Peroni (the only beer offered) is €6.50! Considering you can get a pint for €4-5 in the area, this seems a big stretch for a tiny bottle. Food is expensive too, 2 mains and 2 drinks being €64. That being said, it’s a beautiful restaurant with an overall nice vibe- but wouldn’t return.

Hello This is a great place to visit if you like Italian food. The food was amazing also the staffs were friendly and nice. Asian waiter was helped me to choose my greatest dinner. Thank you!
