The Idle Hour in Cork

26/08/2025: My husband and I wanted pizza. We google searched for pizza near us on our visit to Cork, and this place came up, and the pictures of pizza we saw in the reviews looked amazing! We went to the restaurant and to my surprise, there was no pizza on the menu. I still had a very yummy lasagna, so the food was fine, but was disappointed for the expectation of pizza and no pizza available. Seems they may have gotten a new menu as of August 2025?

20/08/2025: Teh food is phenomenal. We had a cheese plate as an appetizer and lasagna / the house salad as a main. Food tastes home cooked by your Italian nonna. Everything was fresh and extremely well made. Staff was super nice and looked after us well. Because of the size of the restaurant and 3 areas (smoking outside, non smoking outside and inside) there can be small wait times. All in all I definitely recommend you to dine here. It's so very worth it!
