The best restaurantsof italian

04/02/2026: Fabulous food, great atmosphere and the owner is so lovely. Will most certainly return!

02/02/2026: We had a lovely lunch there, my kids already wanna come back. My husband said it was the best risotto he ever had. Portions are very generous and desserts were gorgeous too. We’ll be back!

24/01/2026: Went here for my birthday and the atmosphere is unreal, I would recommend sitting downstairs for the full experience. The food was a perfect fine dining experience imo. I had the lasagne, followed by the chocolate brownie cake & sorbet. The waiter presented me a rose and a glass of prosecco, will definitely come back

10/01/2026: Dawid and Dina were Fantastic , they were friendly and made our experience lovely

23/12/2025: Authentic Italian food. Beautiful food, fried calamari was gluten free as was the pasta available for coeliac. Highly recommend

18/12/2025: Brilliant food and service. Would highly recommend.

17/02/2026: There's a lot off about how this place runs that really puts me off ever coming back despite the fact that the food is lovely. The queuing system when you come in the door feels entirely unfriendly to customers, because you have a limited time to pick from a huge menu and once you're in the queue it's really awkward to go back out if it doesn't suit your taste. I really don't understand why you wouldn't give people the dignity to have a seat and take their time choosing their food. When you are seated you'll have to look at this huge mass of people at the door. Genuinely curious why dough bros have this system in place. There's also never a good reason for gendered single stall bathrooms. It's unnecessary. There's also no signage for the bathrooms at all, which is wild to me. The food was great, but with all the awkwardness I'd personally be looking for other places to eat. My boyfriend has mobility issues and autism; standing up in a queue like that was stressful and painful for him, and if this restaurant utilised a more usual seating system, this could have been avoided.

17/02/2026: Have been waiting to visit for quite a while. Did not disappoint. Great pizza and very happy and attentive staff.

07/02/2026: "You have 15 min left so you can't have a dessert and we won't give you the menu" 🤡

06/02/2026: Went here a while back, Amazing pizza, amazing deserts and wonderful staff!

08/02/2026: Best food in Dublin everyone should come and experience the food it’s incredible

31/01/2026: I always live to come to Virtuoso for special occasions, the service is great and food is always incredible. What a wonderful way to spend the evening!

30/01/2026: I've been waiting months to get a booking here. Had a gorgeous meal, but maybe not worth as much hype as everyone makes out. Sharing Ribeye was beautiful but had barely a drizzle of sauce on the plate. Not like the photos I've seen. They also didn't let the steak rest long enough so it was tough when it was served. I did bring it back home and by the time I was home it was beautifully tender and juicy. The Pumpkin Cappellacci was simple but tasty, the venison pappardelle rich and hearty. Burnt ricotta cheesecake was yummy. Most disappointing dish by far was the burrata with beetroot, olive oil and dill. I don't understand why they would put such a bland and boring dish on such a gorgeous tasting menu. Spoiler alert, it tasted like burrata, beetroot, dill and olive oil. It was definitely a mixed bag meal but definitely more ups than downs.

25/01/2026: Just staggeringly good, the steak came with olive oil and balsamic...a combination you'd never think of but worked perfectly

02/02/2026: The restaurant was empty, and unfortunately we weren't allowed to sit at another table; we were assigned a seat! What a shame. The food was absolutely delicious.

23/01/2026: One of those places you discover while traveling and remember because of how good the food was. The pizza was spectacular, with a fantastic crust and quality ingredients. What's more, the service was excellent—very friendly and welcoming. We left delighted.

08/02/2026: The service was fast and pleasant, for Slavs it is an advantage that there is a Czech working there, and the food was quickly prepared and delicious.

08/02/2026: Eva was wonderful! Everything was great!

06/01/2026: We were a bit late to reserve a table, but we ordered 2 very tasty stone oven Neapolitan pizza’s (Capricciosa and Margherita) for takeaway! It was perfectly on time. Both the toppings and the dough was divine! It was rich and thin. The price was very reasonable as well. Yummy!

04/01/2026: Disappointed with the 10€ tiramissu but the rest was good :)

31/01/2026: Perfect for a girl's night out! Comfy place with friendly service and delicious food. My friend, who is partly Italian, was shocked with the superb taste of their tiramisu. It was all delicious! We made reservations to guarantee a table and glad we did cause in fact it was very busy around 6:30-8pm. We can't recommend enough and will definitely be back!

11/01/2026: Very acccommodating for our 1 year old child, did not make us feel like an inconvenience and made feel very welcome

15/01/2026: Food was delicious and the service was brilliant. Atmosphere was very cosy and the price was very reasonable. Staff were very nice and helpful and if I had the option to go back again I would in a heartbeat.

26/12/2025: Amazing experience. Amazing food

09/01/2026: No word of a lie one of the best pizza i've ever had . The dough they use is unreal. It's clear this place only uses the freshest ingredients. Also all the staff are incredibly kind and friendly . Would highly recommend this place when visiting Carrick On Shannon.

04/01/2026: Very cozy restaurant with delicious food and a lovely atmosphere. I would especially like to thank the staff for their kindness and understanding 💛 I forgot to mention my basil allergy in advance, but they were incredibly caring and changed the dishes for me without any problem. Everything was handled so calmly and warmly, with genuine concern. We left with only positive impressions

02/02/2026: The pizza is amazing, and the staff super friendly

20/01/2026: Had gluten free pizza available

12/01/2026: Menu is fairly limited in variety, but the quality is good. The decor is nice, lighting is bright, fireplace is very cozy.

02/01/2026: Great place. Friendly service. Very good pizza, although a bit too burnt on the bottom for my liking.
