La Piccola Italia in Limerick

Disappointing Experience on a Special Occasion We visited this restaurant to celebrate our niece’s 17th birthday and were looking forward to a lovely evening. While the food was decent—albeit a bit overpriced—and the wine and dessert were enjoyable, our experience was unfortunately overshadowed by the behavior of another guest seated nearby. We encountered deeply inappropriate and offensive conduct, which we attempted to report to the staff. Regrettably, our concerns were not acknowledged, and we felt unsupported throughout the incident. It’s disheartening that what should have been a joyful celebration was marred by such an unpleasant situation. We hope the management considers implementing measures to better support guests and address disruptive behavior in the future.

Excellent Italian-style cuisine! Perfectly suited to those of us who were homesick for Italy. The spaghetti alla marinara and mushroom risotto were delicious, and the peppered fillet steak was superb. Exceeded our expectations! Our compliments 👏

THE Best Iralian food in Limerick 👌👌

A great location, in the basement. We happened to walk past here and made a reservation. Delicious food, quiet atmosphere and very friendly staff. Highly recommended.

This is one of the most special restaurants you will ever come across. My friends and I were traveling through Ireland this March and stumbled upon this place. It got great reviews, and we had time to kill before our bus out of town. The food was exceptional, and the owner/staff were exceptionally kind. The hit of the night was the owner’s wife’s homemade pistachio cheesecake. One of the best desserts I have ever tasted. One of the members of our party ordered it, we all tried it, and ended up ordering 3 additional slices so the rest of the group could enjoy it was THAT GOOD. The restaurant staff are some of the kindest people we have come across in all of Ireland. When our bus out of town never showed up at night, they were so kind to help us figure it out as it was getting late, our phones were low battery, and most of the businesses in town had closed including the bus company’s customer service office. The cook even had his daughter on the phone looking up additional ways for us to get back to Killarney where we were staying. If you are looking for a lovely meal, a cozy atmosphere, and exceptional service from kind-hearted staff this is the place to come!

We came here on our one night stay in Limerick and had such an amazing experience. The place very charming, but is a bit hidden. We walked down some stairs and rang the doorbell. Were greated by two very nice and polite servers. It felt a bit like being greeted for dinner at a friends. We ordered the carbonara and lasagna with salad for dinner. The carbonara was good but the lasagna was one of the best I have ever had at a restaurant! We decided to get some desert. My husband had the tiramisu and I had the coppa amarena (vanilla ice cream with black cheeries). We could not stop eating the coppa amarena. So simple, yet so good. I have to say, as soon as I sat down I had the feeling of being hugged by my grandmother. It would actually have been her birthday the day we went to La Poccola Italia, and I definitely thought of her when we had our dinner. This would have been a restaurant she would have frequented if it had been available in our country.

Such a nice restaurant. A little piece of of italy

Atmosphere and food was exceptional. Friendly staff. Polite attentive and courteous. Food was fantastic. Wine paring was good, recommend the Chardonnay with the Carbonara. Recommend to anyone reading this, well worth the visit if you can grab a table !

Beautiful Sole Dinner on Good Friday..

Strange place Staff super friendly and makes you feel like home but It's all old and not in a good way it screams for renovation when you go in you have a waiting couch that is right in front of men's toilet and it smells that makes u want to leave and honestly we'd leave if we were not seated almost immediately. Food was good yet again nothing exceptional and especially my wife's past main course was more of a starter size at least in my opinion.
