Il Padrino in Cork

One of the best options, in my opinion, in Cork city where you can celebrate an occasion in a fancy and delicious way. I’m a picky eater, but starters and pasta here were absolutely amazing, ended up eating them quite fast hehe.

Food was Delish. Staff were a bit forgetful

Lovely restaurant and setting but the pizza was genuinely shocking it was something I would expect from a frozen pizza or worse. Sambuca prawns were lovely to start and my girlfriend got the lasagne which she said was nice. Service was decent and people were kind but Jesus it was the worst pizza I have eaten I would say

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
