Rosa Madre in Dublin

We went as a group of 5, Nice classic vibe! Lovely food. Taste & design for both starters & main food. Truffle Ravioli was absolutely delicious 😋 3 of us ordered dessert too but not 100% happy with them. So 4/5 for food.

We visited Rosa Madre to celebrate my birthday, having had a fantastic experience there on a previous visit - so expectations were high. Unfortunately, this trip fell short. The crab on toast was let down by an overwhelming amount of mayonnaise, which completely masked the flavour of the crab. The lobster spaghetti - the dish I was most looking forward to - was also a disappointment: the presentation was lacking, the pasta overcooked, and the sauce didn't come close to the depth of flavour I remembered from before. A highlight was the tiramisu, which was genuinely excellent. My boyfriend fared better with his choices, and the front-of-house staff were warm and attentive - particular credit to the young man managing the floor, who was a pleasure to deal with. I'm hoping this was simply an off night, as Rosa Madre has shown it's capable of much better.

We had a wonderful evening celebrating my partner’s birthday. The food was absolutely delicious, from the starters all the way to the desserts. When the desserts arrived, the staff came out singing “Happy Birthday” and clapping, which made the moment even more special. By the way, the wine was so good that I almost forgot it was my partner’s birthday! 😂 An exquisite place with amazing food and staff, specially the brazilian guy André and the owner. We will definitely come back.

Very tasty and 100% recommended

I love this place! I always have a great time when I go!! Thank you Rosa Madre! 🫀❤️🥰

Very good Italian restaurant, witnessed by an Italian in business travel.

Food was good. Staff were friendly. Slightly overpriced in my opinion but Obviously that will come with the territory of being in central Dublin. Would go again. 👍

Very good, but missing a few marks to be truly fantastic! Fabulous restaurant with a wonderful ambiance, it made for a very enjoyable Valentine’s night. The staff were friendly, though not particularly attentive. The menu looked gorgeous with plenty of choice, and the food itself was delicious with beautifully balanced flavours. However, there were some disappointing details: the plates were cold with visible grease marks, and the side dishes arrived freezing. These are small things, but at a restaurant as good as Rosa Madres, they really should be spot on. While the flavours were excellent, the temperature issues took away from what could have been an outstanding meal. The steaks side salad, in particular, was underwhelming and looked a little embarrassing, with only a tiny amount of sauce. Desserts tasted very good, though presentation could be improved, one plate even had two noticeable chips along the edge. There was no butter served with the bread, and several menu items were already unavailable at 5pm. Overall, it was a good meal with lots of potential. With a few small tweaks and more attention to detail, this restaurant could truly be excellent. Perhaps it was due to it being valentines night, we might hit have to give it another try.

The staff were very welcoming, and the food was authentic and delicious — just as my Italian friend recommended. The pacing between the starter, main, and dessert was perfect, and everything came out promptly. I also loved the quiet, classic interior. I definitely want to come back and try other dishes!

Incredible restaurant. An absolute must-visit
