Il Sorriso in Malahide

31/03/2024: We had a great time at Sienna restaurant in Malahide, enjoying delicious food, a cozy atmosphere, and attentive service.

19/03/2024: Short summary: the absolute best culinary experience we had on our trip to Ireland. In detail: The restaurant is beautifully located, right on the harbor with a great view over the sea. The decor is cozy and fits the style of the store, everything still faces the sea view, 5/5. But the most important thing is the food. The boss and owner personally gave us his recommendations and respect, the man knows exactly what he is talking about. No ready-made ingredients are used, everything from pasta to sauces and marinades is freshly prepared from the best ingredients. The interpretation of Italian classics is something special even for connoisseurs of Mediterranean cuisine: they manage to present the traditional dishes in a new and exciting way with a wink, which was 100% convincing. 5/5 Special recommendation: the Chicken Liver Plate Crostini and the Pasta Tagliatelle alla Ragu. The service was attentive but not intrusive and very friendly with good drink recommendations. 5/5 Overall a flawless 6 star experience, if it weren't so far away we would be there every week.
