The best restaurantsof italian

12/09/2026: Truly Italian! I just fancy something Italian and I found it here. I always pass by here in my walk to Bray seafront and can’t believe I have been passing by here to miss this. Now, I’m addicted. Cannoli is truly delicious and the coffee is super. The panini is freshly made and staff is brilliant and friendly. Carpe Diem, you’re now my favourite in Bray. Thank you!

09/09/2026: Small restaurant with limited seating, but a good selection of salads and sandwiches. It’s a little hard to spot the sign from the road, but look for the purple building! We had the mixed salad with tuna and the roasted ham panini—both were fresh and delicious.

17/08/2026: The owners are great. The food is lovely and the place has a very chilled vibe.

12/07/2026: Review by my daughter, Alana: I went there with my friends. We were nine, and we ate for only €50. The girl taking our orders was super nice, and the food was delicious.

13/09/2026: Are dinner here on my honeymoon in 2014 and I’ve been thinking about that meal for the last 12 years.

08/09/2026: The pasta and chicken were delicious…beyond wildest expectations. Go! Bring cash…they don’t take cards.

25/07/2026: Absolutely delicious. Had the scampi pizza and cheesey garlic bread 😋😋🤤🤤🤩 Highly recommend

24/07/2026: Fantastic Food and Great Team! The pizzas here are absolutely delicious! The service is brilliant, and the entire restaurant is very clean with a lovely, accurate decor. The only negative point is the waiting time, especially during the weekends. However, it is clear that the long wait is simply due to their massive success and how incredibly good the pizzas are! The team works exceptionally hard and does their absolute best, both inside the restaurant and managing the kids' area. Highly recommended, just get there early on weekends!

05/09/2026: Fantastic place, friendly, super quality food in the center of Dublin

24/08/2026: Best Pizza I Have Had in Dublin. This is like eating in your Nona’s kitchen. Elaine and Carlo run an amazing little gem here. Elaine is in the front of house, while Carlo turns out some of the best food you will taste. Everything is home made, and I mean EVERYTHING!!! The antipasto is unctuous, and their pizza was amazing. Super thin crust, so you don’t feel bloated after eating one. I also recommend the hot oil they have. The home made pasta is Devine. Simple food, fresh ingredients, brilliantly made, and served with genuine passion. Bravo. We will be back again and again and again.

23/08/2026: Great little casual Italian restaurant in a cool part of town.

15/08/2026: Great pizza, Erika nad Vini are amazing 😍thank you

05/09/2026: Starting with the positives: the service was fantastic. The waiters were very friendly and attentive, and the tiramisu is genuinely one of the best I’ve had in Cork. And honestly, that’s about as far as the positives go for me. The food itself is perfectly fine — I’d describe it as average. There are definitely better Italian restaurants in Cork, but there’s nothing particularly wrong with the food either. What really put me off, and ultimately means we won’t be coming back, is the restaurant itself. It is unbelievably noisy. I assume this is partly because they have squeezed an enormous number of tables into a very small space, with barely any room between them. I have no idea what the maximum capacity of that little room is, but when you’re sitting beside the counter, you can practically hear conversations from people sitting by the windows. Of course, it becomes a vicious cycle: because the background noise is already so loud, everyone has to speak louder and louder just to hear the person sitting opposite them, which makes the whole place even noisier. I actually left with a mild headache from the noise. Because of this, the atmosphere was completely lost for me. It’s difficult to relax and enjoy your meal when you feel like you have to shout across the table. Overall, the service and tiramisu were excellent, and the food was perfectly acceptable, but the noise level completely ruined the experience for us. Unfortunately, it’s not somewhere we would return to.

27/08/2026: Wow!! What a find Da Mirco Restaurant was! We were visiting Cork for a few days to celebrate our Ruby Wedding Anniversary and wanted somewhere to eat on our first evening, after a little research Da Mirco was the stand out choice and having now experienced personally, can categorically say that all the great reviews are totally justified! We had an absolutely wonderful evening, fabulous atmosphere in the restaurant, very busy but due to it's compact size still felt very homely and welcoming. The menu had a varied choice which took us some time to choose because everything sounded delicious........and it was! We shared a starter of Monkfish tails which were cooked to perfection and was one of those plates that you don't want to end! Followed this with two superb main courses, I went for pork loin, my wife had seafood pasta, both absolutely delicious! Finished the meal with a perfect Tiramisu. Coupling this meal with a nice choice of wine and being served by lovely friendly staff, made this whole evening one wich will remain fondly in our memory for a very long time. Thanks! PS.......If Hannah, our terrific server gets to see this review, please tell her we went for the infinity tattoos........she'll know what we mean, ha ha! :-)

16/09/2026: Nice(but a bit strong) Old fashion. Good vibe Find the pig !

14/09/2026: Very good place and a little mysterious

09/08/2026: A fantastic place. Delicious food prepared in a relatively short time. The staff was also very friendly, smiling, helpful, but not overbearing. We went two days in a row – because we liked it that much. Once for lunch, once in the evening, on a weekend – and there was no problem getting a table. There were quite a few people, but the restaurant handled the service brilliantly. Thank you very much, best regards, and we'll definitely see you again (Blond trio from Poland – the carbonara and margherita team)
