The Taste of Italy was a delightful and delicious surprise. I had the pistachio croissant and my husband had the chocolate croissant. We kick ourselves for not taking some to-go and for not tasting the organic apple pie. Since we were headed out of town, we missed their lunch special, but I'm certain it's fabulous.
The hosts were warm and friendly.
Highly recommend!

This Italian has just replaced my favourite Italian restaurant in London. Might not be local but worth travelling for.

Completely delicious authentic Italian! I really recommend this restaurant! I had the Burrata salad and my other half had the tomato soup. We walked around for a bit and had to come for dessert. The cannolis are divine and cheesecake is supreme!

Coffee and deserts are amazing, so good we had to get more to take away. Will definitely be back soon to try their main courses. Lovely owners.

This restaurant was amazing. There is no printed menus. Just fresh daily specials on a board. We were a group of 6 people, and we ordered one of everything on the blackboard, and I am so glad we did. Very authentic restaurant, with lovely owners. A real pleasure to visit, and I can't wait to return. Thanks so much Marco and Marta 🙏

I recently visited Taste of Italy in Arklow — and it turned out to be a real gem! 🇮🇹
The atmosphere is warm and cozy, and the owners welcome you as if you were an old friend.
🍝 Food — authentic homemade Italian cuisine. Pasta, ravioli, and soups are full of flavor and clearly made with care and passion.
🍰 Desserts — absolutely outstanding. The Sicilian tiramisu and cannoli are light, delicate, and full of taste. You can immediately tell they are handmade with love.
☕ Coffee — probably the best in town! Strong, aromatic, and perfect when paired with a dessert, especially if you sit by the window overlooking the river.
🌟 Overall: A little corner of Italy in Arklow. I will definitely come back and highly recommend it!
