Dall'Italiano
Dublin
01/02/2025: The best Italian in Dublin. Homemade food made at the moment and with a lot of love. Abundant food at an unbeatable price. The place is deceiving and does not seem welcoming, but the owner makes sure you feel at home.

Carpe Diem
Bray
01/02/2025: My favorite cafe in Dublin! It's lovely in all aspects. Not pretentious, not "posh", not artificial. Just amazing panino and cakes served by an Italian couple.
23/01/2025: A great and cheap place to eat in Bray, it is 100% Italian products, everything spectacular, artisanal and a very good homely atmosphere. 10/10

The Dough Bros
Galway
15/02/2025: The Dough Bros is a real gem! 🍕🔥
One of the best pizzas I have ever eaten. The dough is delicious, with a generous and tasty filling 😋. The service is fast and pleasant, with a smiling and efficient team 😊. The atmosphere of the place is friendly, perfect for having a good time with friends or family 🍽️🍷. A great discovery that I recommend without hesitation to all pizza lovers👌. If you are passing through, don't miss this address, you will not be disappointed! 🤩
15/02/2025: I recently visited this pizzeria, and while the food had its moments, the overall experience left room for improvement.
First, the waiting time at the tills was very long, we waited 15 mins before we even had the chance to order and sit down, and the service at the till was just average. Be aware that you need to prepay for your meal, and they try to prompt you to leave a tip before you’ve even sat down, which felt a bit pushy.
We ordered two pizzas—one "Can’t Banh Mi Love" and one "Hail Caesar"—along with two lagers. The first pizza arrived after about 20 minutes, but the second one didn’t come until another 10 minutes later. This was disappointing because my partner’s pizza had gone cold by the time mine arrived.
One thing to note is that the pizza dough seemed intentionally burnt as part of their style, as I noticed all the other customers’ pizzas were the same. While some might enjoy this charred flavor, I personally found that it overpowered the other ingredients at times, which was unfortunate given how creative and flavorful the toppings were.
That said, when not overshadowed by the burnt dough, the pizzas were still delicious! They weren’t the best I’ve ever had (and I’ve tried a lot), but they’d definitely make it into my top 10.
Overall, while the food had potential, issues with service, timing, and their burnt dough detracted from what could have been a perfect dining experience.

Emiliano's
Waterford
25/01/2025: We had dinner here on a Thursday evening we got 4 starters to share all delicious we opted for a basket of bread, garlic mushrooms, brushetta and garlic potato skins. For our main we got the mushroom pasta and pizza to share couldn't fault any of it waiters are so friendly and helpful we didn't feel rushed even when it was close to there closing time will be back again super italian food
22/12/2024: We were in Waterford on a family day out for Winterval. Having made some gingerbread people we looked for a spot to feed the kids (2 boys aged 4 so pasta is usually a good option). My wife found Emiliano's. A short stroll from the main square. When we got there we were told there were no tables available but at a second check a table was located.
The service was prompt, kids had their food very quickly.
Restaurant was full and a great atmosphere there.
The food was exceptional, staff so friendly and welcoming. What we couldn't finish we took away with us.
Fabulous little find, would recommend to anyone and will defo be back again.

Ristorante Rinuccini
Kilkenny
18/02/2025: Great ambience, very relaxed but attentive staff too. Lovely food, my sole was perfectly cooked and totally delicious, as was my wife's duck. We had a great time and will definitely be back next time we're in Kilkenny.
13/02/2025: Gave this place a try after a long absence. I have mixed feelings about it. A busy place, it takes "sittings", so if you wish for a relaxed evening....well!!! One does check the watch..silly self pressure
I did find the food good and tasty, but there was a sameness about the menu from previous memories.
Service is top class and very old style efficient.
You can have a good night out...if you go for the late sitting.

Pompeii Pizza
Cork
26/01/2025: Dropping my rating to 3 stars. This was my favourite pizza in Cork but the past few times the base of the pizza has been black, particularly on the bottom. Oven needs to be cleaned so the residue doesn’t burn and stick to the bottom. Hope it can be sorted soon.
21/12/2024: Great! Very cozy place. I really liked it!

Paulie's Pizza
Dublin
17/02/2025: 5-star all the way! Great little place. Authentic, friendly, delicious. Go!
16/02/2025: One of the best pizzas in Dublin. The dough is fantastic, soft & chewy, with a bit of charring. It is popular & has been around for ages so reservation is recommended though we happened to get a table from a walk-in. They do pasta too. It's in a charming building & squeezed in as many seats as they comfortably could fit. The staff are lovely. Our pizzas cost 18.50e and 19e (February 2025).

Piccolo
Killarney
17/02/2025: The delicious smell lured us in. We were minding our own business, on our way back to the car park when we passed the door of Piccolo. We didn't dine in, only sat at the high stools waiting on our two take away pizzas. Both were divine. Easily one of the nicest pizzas we've both had in some time!
Would recommend! We'll Definatley be back.
24/01/2025: Came in September and ate there. Such great service and they set up a table all nice so we could sit outside. We were craving pizza, and this was so delicious and hit the spot. Really cute spot with great staff.

Wallace's Asti
Dublin
01/02/2025: Really excellent restaurant. Very friendly Italian staff. Food really fresh and tasty. Dog friendly. Highly recommend.
01/02/2025: Arrived for a prematch meal and was VERY disappointed. Friends recommended it but probably not for a prematch. Service was slow but friendly staff. Chicken was lovely as was pizza, but side salad looked like it was just out of a bag and the calamari looked and tasted as if it was cooked from frozen. Manager was adamant everything cooked fresh but refused to accept anything was less than his imagining believed it to be. Not a place I'll be going back to.

Di Luca
Dublin
26/01/2025: Absolutely gorgeous!
We had dinner here recently and I couldn’t fault a thing about it🤌
Everything from the Bruschetta per due, to the rigatoni al ragù was just sensational! My dad is gluten intolerant so was such a bonus that they have gluten free pasta!
Every dish was bursting with flavour and the special dessert ‘torta della nonna’ was honestly sensational💯.
The staff were super attentive and friendly, couldn’t recommend Di Luca’s enough and will definitely be back!
22/01/2025: The drinks, starters, mains, and dessert were impeccable. The staff is stellar. Our server remembered my partner and I when from we visited once before—many months ago! A great place for a dinner date, girl’s night, or a group dinner. I recommend making a reservation as it is an intimate setting.The portions were generous. I had the Rigatoni cacio e pepe. I can’t wait to come back!
