The best restaurantsof italian

06/08/2025: Hiddem gem. Great food with a homemade essence

05/08/2025: Lovely food, the restaurant is run by the owner on his own so capacity is limited and it is advisable to book. It's an excellent addition to the area.

21/08/2025: I haven't had such delicious pizza in a long time. Thank you.

07/08/2025: Excellent! The server was so sweet and kind and worked hard to make us comfortable - the pizza had a nice thin crust and was super fresh! We were there with another couple on a kind of rainy night and she brought us a ln umbrella just in case ~ great place! Highly recommend!

22/08/2025: Outstanding. Busy but queue moved quickly and worth the wait. Nice variety of pizzas and add-ons. Friendly and helpful service, felt welcomed.

20/08/2025: The pizza was amazing and freshly made

14/08/2025: Stopped in and the owner / manager (maybe?) was very rude and not kid friendly. Pretentious is probably the best word to describe him. Definitely not welcoming or warm as you would expect from fine restaurants across Ireland. We left before things went any further and were welcomed across the street at an even nicer restaurant, Sage.

14/08/2025: Spectacular Italian food. Very good service.

17/08/2025: Incredibly good service, very friendly, and the food was delicious! Thank you so much! Highly recommended!

17/08/2025: We dropped in spontaneously, and what can I say? The welcome and service were incredibly friendly, and the food was absolutely delicious and highly recommended. We'll definitely stop here on our next visit to Dublin.

11/07/2025: A must for Italian food in Dublin!

11/07/2025: Terrific dining experience. Great atmosphere, excellent service, great wine selection, great selection on the menu. The food was remarkable. I highly recommend it.

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

16/07/2025: Wonderful experience, that's the only place in Ireland where I drink coffee as a very good coffee fussy Italian, cheap coffee for Irish prices. Food made freshly from scratch daily including bread and focaccia dough, desserts freshly made from scratch daily, very fresh ingredients with plenty of Italian ingredients. The Italian owners working there make everything and serve both in English and in Italian, they are fantastic people, I always go here every week, super mega ultra recommended. Coffee and wine on sale.

25/07/2025: Very clean and cozy place with top-level service and truly delicious food. A great selection of authentic Italian dishes and desserts. Staff are friendly and attentive. Highly recommend! 👍😌

23/07/2025: A real gem in the heart of Waterford City. Our food was close to the best I have had in an Italian restaurant in Ireland and I have been to many!

22/08/2025: So so good the owner and staff were lovely and the food was delicious and came out really fast! I would 1000000% come back this place is molto bene!

22/08/2025: GLUTEN FREE PIZZA AND BEER!!! Really good quality and taste! They care about cross-contamination.

18/08/2025: Good restaurant, very good, there were 10 of us, good atmosphere, the dishes are also delicious

15/08/2025: I wouldn't recommend this restaurant if you're craving genuine Italian cuisine. I ordered the carbonara, which immediately raised concerns when I saw cream and garlic listed in the ingredients on the menu. Despite my reservations, I decided to give it a chance since I was looking forward to some pancetta. Unfortunately, the dish arrived with small pieces of bacon instead of proper pancetta, served over spaghetti. My girlfriend tried the spicy beef ragu, which felt like an unnecessary and inauthentic twist on a classic dish. We also ordered the calamari for €11, only to receive what was clearly frozen calamari. Completely unacceptable at that price point. Overall, the food felt overpriced for what amounted to basic preparations that I could easily make better at home. If you're seeking authentic Italian flavours, you'd be better off looking elsewhere.

14/08/2025: Sicilian owned authentic Italian food. Lobster ravioli excellent!

04/08/2025: Great place .Had lovely food here .Highly recommended.Great food and service .

05/08/2025: Great pizza, staff and Guinness.

02/08/2025: Chill place, good vibes, great food.

26/07/2025: We had a lovely evening at Di Luca! The wine selection was great, and the pasta was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and comforting. The cozy, intimate setting made it a perfect spot to unwind, and the warm, attentive service really added to the overall experience. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a relaxed yet quality Italian meal in Dublin.

25/07/2025: Had lunch with the family and really enjoyed it. Relaxed atmosphere and wonderful food.

03/08/2025: One of the best pizzas I've had in a long time, and the freshly made tiramisu was the cherry on top. Better than what I've had in some great spots in Italy. Friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Highly recommended!

29/07/2025: Great pizza and staff so so helpful.

18/07/2025: I love this place. Didn’t know what it was, saw it recommended on Reddit during my trip research, booked it, and so happy that I did! It was for a bday celebration, food and Bev were excellent. Service is bravo. Good job Dublin , highly recommended.

14/07/2025: Without a single doubt in my mind this is one of the best restaurants in the country. Tucked away in Ranelagh, the food, service and atmosphere are all 10/10 . Try the chefs menu, great value for the variety of incredible food you'll get .
