Taste of Italy in Arklow

We popped in for a delicious early morning coffee and pastry today (so great to have a cafe that caters for early risers in Arklow!) and were welcomed by the friendly owners who clearly put a lot of love and care into all the food they prepare. We will definitely be back and look forward to sampling more from the menu 😊

A fantastic and charming bistro, the food is exclusively Italian, all cooked on-site, fresh, and delicious. The owners are a Polish woman and an Italian man, a delightful couple. 🤗 We had a light lunch, including a tomato cream soup called "POETRY OF TASTE" 👍. And finally, of course, coffee, and that was a masterful espresso. We highly recommend this charming place and can only give it 5 stars 👍

The most delicious treats and the loveliest proprietors. And they always have a kind word for my dog Max. We are so lucky to have this wonderful cafe in Arklow. Max eagerly awaits the restaurant re-opening on the 16th September after a short break!

A very lovely place with so friendly people and yummiest Italian food and coffee ✨🥰🇮🇹

If you want to feel like you are in Italy, this is the best place.Great owners and wonderful food.

Taste of Italy is an absolute gem in Arklow! We loved it so much that we came back the very next day because we couldn't stop thinking about the food. The pasta was, without a doubt, the best I've ever had. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, perfectly cooked, and full of authentic Italian flavour. You can truly tell it's made with passion and high-quality ingredients. The tiramisu deserves its own mention. I've had tiramisu at countless restaurants over the years, and this was hands down the best I've ever tasted. It was light, creamy, beautifully balanced, and simply unforgettable. On top of the amazing food, the owners, Marta and Marco, were so warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. It's rare to find a place that delivers both exceptional food and such genuine hospitality. If you're anywhere near Arklow, do yourself a favour and visit Taste of Italy. It's one of the best Italian restaurants I've ever been to, and I'll absolutely be returning every time I'm back in Ireland!

Loved it so much yesterday that we came back again today! Fresh ravioli and pasta, great coffee, and lovely service from Martha and Marco. Everything is made fresh each morning and tastes genuinely authentic. The herb bread is perfect for soaking up the sauces, and the tiramisu is delicious without being overly sweet. Highly recommend!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tasty of Italy in Arklow is without a doubt one of the best places where I've experienced authentic Italian cuisine outside of Italy. As an Italian, I can honestly say that this restaurant brings the true flavours of home to Ireland. What makes it stand out is that the menu changes daily based on the fresh ingredients arriving from Italy. Instead of the usual fixed menu you find in many Italian restaurants, every visit offers something different, seasonal, and genuinely authentic. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients and the passion behind every dish. The service is exceptional. Marco and Marco have created much more than a restaurant—they have created a little corner of Italy just south of Dublin. From the warm welcome to the attention to every detail, they make every guest feel at home. If you appreciate real Italian food made with fresh ingredients and served with genuine hospitality, this is a place you shouldn't miss. I will definitely be returning to discover more of their daily specials and enjoy another fantastic dining experience. Highly recommended!

A wonderful bistro with great atmosphere and deliciously exceptional food.
