The best restaurantsof italian

05/04/2026: ​I recently had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful restaurant, and it was easily the highlight of my trip to Dublin. ​From the moment I arrived, I was made to feel incredibly welcome. The owner, who is also the chef, is absolutely sensational! His passion for his craft is evident, and he is one of the kindest and most personable hosts I have ever met. It’s rare to find such a warm, authentic connection in a restaurant these days. ​As for the food, it was truly exceptional, honestly the best Italian meal I have ever had. Every dish was prepared to perfection, bursting with authentic flavors and high-quality ingredients. ​If you are in Dublin and looking for a dining experience that combines world-class food with genuine, friendly service, I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

05/04/2026: Authentic Italian food! Pastas, risottos, delicious! Good portion sizes as well! I was too hungry - ate two mains! Atmosphere is calm/relaxed, with quiet Italian music playing in the background! It’s a place for people to connect and communicate! Highly recommend for people looking for authentic Italian food!

24/04/2026: Piccolo’s is THE spot for pizza! My husband and I felt welcomed from the moment we walked in. Our food was fresh and delicious, and service was quick! Ms. Veronica was amazing and took such great care of us; we definitely left having made a new friend. Piccolo’s will be a necessary stop if we ever find ourselves back in Ireland!

12/04/2026: Amazing, amazing pizza. Shared Margherita and Carnoso pizzas with my partner and genuinely, possibly the best pizzas we've ever had in our lives.

11/05/2026: Food was phenomenal, got the Caesar salad, garlic bread and the burrata pasta dish. All of that was amazing. Gave the food 4 stars because we ordered a cheesecake to go and got back to our hotel and for 14 € it was the worst cheesecake I’ve ever had. Service was good except at the end we had to wait quite a while for our check. Overall would recommend this place to someone looking for a good “Italian” dish here in Dublin.

11/05/2026: Lovely spot for a date night dinner and a couple drinks, Rashid and Afrodita were our servers and they were lovely. Very attentive and helpful

20/05/2026: Rudely turned away for not having a reservation. Go elsewhere.

12/05/2026: Gorgeous Italian food and vibe, all taken to a high standard. Lovely staff, 5/5.

25/04/2026: Great Italian dishes, shared menu. Have been a few times, service always excellent, food on first few visits excellent but unfortunately not as good on most recent visit which was disappointing. Hopefully a one off as previously ranked Host right up there

15/04/2026: The food was unbelievable, highly recommended the pappardelle beef shin ragu, it was really good. The steak was also perfect. Staff were excellent. Looking forward to going back :) Booking is definitely required.

22/04/2026: The best pizza I’ve tried in Ireland!

21/04/2026: Amazing Pizza Margherita. We devoured it before I could snap a picture. Here on a bus tour, this was a quick and tasty option for anyone who might be a bit fish and chipped out.

09/05/2026: Absolutely fabulous food, even better then meals I had in Rome. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Good size portions too. I had the ravioli and it was simply divine, my husband had the carbonara and garlic bread and he said it was lovely. We will definitely go back when in castlebar, I just wished I had room for dessert.

12/04/2026: Honestly one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. Very lovely and attentive staff, catering to our every need and request. Food was delicious and atmosphere was great!

21/05/2026: My wife and I visited last night for a quick dinner before a concert. I'm so glad we booked! It's very busy and having visited, I can see why. There's nothing not to like. It's cosy, staff are lovely and the food was amazing. My wife had the Gambas pasta dish. Loads of prawns and cooked without chili as requested. I had a pizza from the specials board. Dessert was an amazing tiramisu which we couldn't finish. Given the quality of the food, we think it represents great value. We will certainly visit again, but I wish it was closer to home so we could visit often!

18/05/2026: We were bunch of hungry shouldy who has landed in Dublin and for the love of good food came in to Paulies Oh boy it truly lives up to its expectations. The vegetarian pizzas were savored more at our table for the freshness of the ingredients and the taste. The starters were great too and the tiramisu at the end was a treat. The service was great and the hosts were very gentle and helpful. All in all it was great experience

21/04/2026: We can't say enough great things about this place! The staff made us feel so welcome. The pizza was amazing. You could tell it was made with love. The desserts were out of this word! Creme Brulee, Tiramisu, and Affogato, DELICIOUS! Highly recommend Woozza over all the other pizza spots. You won't regret it!

20/04/2026: Excellent, fast, served with grace and elegance. Pure bliss, an excellent pizzeria. I highly recommend it.

14/05/2026: Incredibly good gnocchi and tortelini Nice staff, cozy place, but they didn't have beer

13/05/2026: Only thing I didn't totally love, is it's a very small restaurant, so I felt like I was sitting on the person next to me (not at my table). Food was authentic and delicious. Staff was friendly and it had that family owned vibe which is my favorite!

13/05/2026: An amazing food,definitely worth to visit and pls try the pica .

12/05/2026: Superb traditional Italian restaurant

03/05/2026: Had a lovely meal last week at Osteria da Simone. The starters were all delicious. I would really recommend getting the arancini it was really tasty! Didn’t take any photos of the mains but they were also delicious. Would definitely like to come back when visiting again:)

01/05/2026: I had a really nice experience at this restaurant. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive. I had the carbonara and the food was very tasty, and well presented. Service was quick, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. Overall, it was a great visit, and I’d happily come back again!

19/05/2026: Charming place with excellent food. An interesting feature is the typical menu served at the table and the friendliness of the staff. We really enjoyed the typical Italian atmosphere near the center of Dublin.

12/05/2026: We have been going here years, its our favourite restaurant in Dublin. The food and service are exceptional and the prices are very reasonable! We love the garlic cheese pizza bread!
