Dall'Italiano
Dublin
30/09/2025: Cant rate this place high enough. Came too late for lunch and too early for dinner but was still sat and served. Felt bad for coming at a weird time and having the place to ourselves but the owner told us not to worry, gave us reccoemdations, and was super friendly. Great place and definitely reccoemdned. But please make a reservation!
29/09/2025: Wonderful evening spent at this amazing restaurant. Celebrated my wife’s birthday with our daughter. Thoroughly enjoyed the food, wine, service and atmosphere. Would highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be returning .

La Caverna
Dublin
09/09/2025: Best night in Dublin.
Lovely service from Darius , delicious food.
Wonderfull evening.
08/09/2025: We had a lovely experience at this Italian restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious — really, really tasty — and the place itself is beautiful. Prices are fair for the quality of the food, and we received excellent service from a Ukrainian waiter named Dima, who was very attentive and kind.
The only disappointing part of our visit was the attitude of another waiter, who supposedly had more experience but treated us very poorly. We’re not sure if it was racism or something else, but his behavior was the only negative aspect of our evening.
Overall, we highly recommend the restaurant for its food, atmosphere, and Dima’s great service.

The Dough Bros
Galway
21/09/2025: A fantastic pizza. Every topping on it was perfectly balanced. The dough was soft and chewy.
21/09/2025: Amazing atmosphere.
Fantastic service. I loved the unique way they do seating. You line up, order and pay at the counter, then sit down to get your order. Much more efficient for the wait staff.
Also, they somehow turn tables so quickly, it's not a long wait time despite the long lineup.
The food is *delicious*. I got the Stinger with the candied jalapeno dip.
I was visiting Galway from out of country for 3 days. I planned to do tourist stuff in day and try different restaurants during the night.
I ended up going to Dough Bros all 3 nights 😅.
Will miss it. Amazing!

Carpe Diem
Bray
13/09/2025: This restaurant is a real hidden gem! The focaccia was fantastic, and the meaty lasagna and the desserts were equally delicious. You could really taste the high quality of the ingredients used – it's clear that the owner cares deeply about maintaining a high standard.
The staff and owner were also very friendly. We will certainly be back.
03/08/2025: Went in to use the bathroom here during the bray air festival as the public toilets had a 30 minute line. Just to get screamed at by both the Italian male and female owners at the top of their lungs in front of the whole busy cafe, I’m 7 months pregnant and he shouted at the top of his lungs at me “shame on you for using your pregnancy as an EXCUSE” over and over. Such a horrible attitude, left me shook leaving.
Please don’t support this place with such a degrading attitude towards pregnant women. For the uneducated owner:
1. Pregnancy isn’t an ‘excuse’ to use the toilet when in need
2. You should never scream in the face of a pregnant woman it’s very stressful for her and baby to handle

The Little Pig Speakeasy

Gallo & Galetti
Cork
14/09/2025: Delicious food with a fairly good price in an adorable atmosphere. We had a bacon pizza that was one of the best pizzas we ever had and also a great risotto with fungi and steak.
10/09/2025: I've eaten here a handful of times over the past few years.
Tonight the pizzas were really good. Top drawer. Other members of our party had seabass and risotto. Everyone very happy.
Once it emptied out a bit it was very pleasant (din of other diners talking was too loud when we first arrived to the point I couldn't hear others at my table). Everything else was great.
Price wise it's not cheap but value for money is high given the quality of food, drink and service.
Must come here more often…

Woozza Wood Fired Pizza
Galway
22/09/2025: Super delicious pizza, fast and friendly service, crispy dough, fresh toppings—definitely worth a visit!
20/09/2025: My mother-in-law has Parkinson’s, so she has some mobility issues. We brought her to Ireland because it was on her “bucket list”. We’ve had a great time, but her mobility issues were often a hindrance. That is, until we showed up to Woozza.
Before I go on, the food is outstanding and appropriately priced. I want that to be clear. But what surprised us was that for the first time during our visit my mother-in-law felt like a person more than she felt like a burden. She was treated with a level of reverence and respect I had not seen in seven days of visiting Ireland.
We were not able to catch her name, but the waitress was amazing and unexpectedly kind. I wish I had a way to thank her more. On top of all of that, the food was absolutely amazing. I cannot recommend this place more and I wish I had a way to show them the depth of my gratitude.

DiVino
Carrick-on-shannon
18/09/2025: The pizza was perfect. Excellant dough, toppings were great.
Lasagna and spaghetti was very acidic and tomato rich, you can love it or hate it.
Maybe we got them at a busy time, but we felt slightly unwelcome.
15/09/2025: Just had a beautiful delicious dinner. Yummy pizza, a giant meatball, greek salad - fresh and full of ingredients and very flavoursome baked aubergines. The experience topped with lovely Italian wine and desserts (affogato & pannacotta). Looks like this is the only restaurant in town worth visiting, especially on a Monday night; it was recommended to us and we managed to get the last table! Would definitely visit again, but we are tourists here all the way from Kerry, so not sure when that will happen.

Host
Dublin
21/09/2025: Amazing place. Super vibe. Absolutely delicious food. Friendly staff. Highly recommended. We had the chef’s menu and did not disappoint. It’s also loads of food for two people, no need to add anything else! The only thing I didn’t love was the salad, but everything else was a 10 out of 10.
20/09/2025: My partner and I celebrated our 6th anniversary at Host this Monday just gone and we were absolutely blown away by every aspect of the experience.
Couldn't recommend the chef's menu enough. I used to be an extremely picky eater and it still lingers at times, but EVERYTHING on this menu was to die for. I'll be dreaming of burrata and peaches for years. I'd never really be one to order the steak either, but the striploin on the bone was absolutely stunning. We couldn't even finish the entire thing between us - they're really not playing around here. I firmly believe that no matter what we had ordered, we would have been dazzled. It was hands-down the best meal we've ever had.
The cocktails and wine were beautiful and I may have stumbled out of the restaurant somewhat... but that's the sign of a good time.
The atmosphere was fabulous: the lighting, temperature, noise level and seating arrangements were all perfect. It can take something really small to throw things off balance and make you slightly uncomfortable, but everything here was really well thought out.
Last, but not least, the service was unmatched. We had the pleasure of being looked after by Hunter for the evening. She really struck that balance of highly experienced and naturally charismatic, and she made it look easy the entire time. Every time she stopped by to check in the conversation flowed naturally; she was both fun and knowledgeable. She also surprised us with an anniversary tiramisu, which I promptly dipped my white sleeve into. It was really sweet (sentimentally) and completely coma-inducing. Amazing stuff.
Anyway, Google review drunkenly promised and soberly fulfilled. Thank you to all at Host for making it such a special night. Will recommend to anyone who will listen for a splash-out meal.

Sexton's Bar
Limerick
14/09/2025: Excellent pizza and brilliant staff 👌
02/09/2025: Went there for drinks, stayed for their wood fired pizzas. You'll always find space to chill with your friends as there is ample seating. However, it does get busy on Fridays and Saturdays, so better to book ahead.
