Zizzi
Dublin
03/02/2026: Centrally located and perfect for celiacs. Their gluten-free menu is extensive and safe: crispy pizzas and delicious pasta that's just as good as regular pasta. The staff is very careful to prevent cross-contamination. A great find!
03/02/2026: Amazing staff, great food!!! Liked a lot! Special thanks to Luke😍

The Little Pig Speakeasy
Dublin
14/01/2026: The cocktails here were some of the best I have tasted! The whole experience was really fun and unique
26/12/2025: Great cocktails! Quite bad service (consistently bad across all 4 people that attended us). Since the moment we arrived they reminded us that we had only less than 1h30.. I was joking that we send more time being reminded about the time left than enjoying our drinks 😢. Chery on the cake they give the bill 20 mins before the end of our slot.

Terra Madre
Dublin
08/01/2026: For me personally a hidden local perl with amazing authentic Italian food and great service!
Was a bit cold, and rough interior but fitting the experience and the food quality compensates everything the location might not provides.
05/01/2026: Food was incredible, really small menu but everything was perfect. We were the first ones in there on a Monday, 2 adults a toddler and a baby. They made my young daughter pasta with butter and cheese, whilst me and my husband had a gorgeous dinner and a bottle of wine. It’s not set up for children being a small place but they made us feel incredibly welcome and the food was very worth it. An absolute must visit in Dublin for me. 10/10

Da Mirco
Cork
31/12/2025: Overall good experience, giving 4 stars out of five.
Something is still not yet there to be rated at five.
Food quality was great.
Service well on point.
Small place, at full capacity it can be very noisy. Management should consider solutions to absorb sounds waves.
Recommend.
31/12/2025: Unbelievable from beginning to end!
I had the duck special and my partner had the ragu. Both were so tasty.
The service was spot on and the place was packed with a lovely atmosphere.
Can't wait to come back again!

Gallo & Galetti
Cork
07/01/2026: Not really authentic Italian if that's what you're in the mood for. Pasta was bland eating in, and a while back we got takeaway and had 2 different pasta dishes that tasted basically the same (and equally lacking in flavour besides just cream and garlic).
I've been going here on and off for about 6 years, used to LOVE it back then, but I don't think I'll be going again as I feel the quality and taste isn't the same anymore.
But - if it not being authentic doesn't bother you, it's still a decent spot, popular with locals. I'd recommend the pizza, and the Panna Cotta.
28/12/2025: This place is truly a hidden gem. We visited with our family and were honestly impressed from start to finish. The atmosphere feels elegant yet warm and inviting, giving it a premium touch without being stiff or formal. We ordered a variety of Italian classics — spaghetti, pizza, and a few other dishes — and every single plate was outstanding. The flavors were rich and authentic, the ingredients clearly high quality, and everything was beautifully prepared. The service was attentive, professional, and made us feel genuinely welcome. It’s rare to find a restaurant that combines top-tier food, a refined atmosphere, and a relaxed family-friendly vibe so effortlessly. An absolute must-visit for anyone who appreciates excellent Italian cuisine.

Di Luca
Dublin
27/01/2026: A very enjoyable little restaurant off the beaten track. The service is very friendly and there is a good selection of dishes, including a wide variety of pasta dishes. The food was hot, fresh, and tasty. Grazie.
A charming and discreet little restaurant. The service is very welcoming and the menu offers a wide selection of dishes, especially pasta. The dishes were hot, fresh, and tasty. Grazie.
26/01/2026: This was our third visit to Di Luca, and it was by far the best experience yet. The staff were exceptionally kind and attentive, with Jose and Miguel creating a wonderfully warm atmosphere through their genuine smiles and welcoming personalities. We truly appreciated the attention to detail—especially the care taken with our dietary restrictions—and the thoughtful effort to make our anniversary celebration feel special. Thank you Miguel and Jose and to the chef behind the scenes.

Little Lane Restaurant
Dublin
06/12/2025: Excellent range of coffees including complex filter coffees. Quiet and secluded.
Hard to not be tempted by their delicious cakes and buns.
Warm friendly service.
Wish it was bigger but that’s part of the appeal too.
My fav coffee shop on Galway bar none.
28/11/2025: These guys know what they’re doing. Excellent latte that had no need for sugar or syrup. I even picked up a bag of the same beans used in their espresso. My wife tried their ube matcha and it was also delightful.

Il Colosseo
Athlone
30/12/2025: Really, this is one of the best Italian restaurants for miles. The food is incredible. The service is too class, no matter how busy they get, the service doesn't do of.... top marks all around, the staff are always friendly and humorous at times....
13/12/2025: We arrived (6persons) completely unprepared and without a booking. The floor manager greeted us so warmly and was able to accommodate us, despite being in under pressure in a full house of Christmas groups.
Couldn't believe our luck, as it was our brothers birthday. Food was perfect and came out so fast. Great price and no fuss what so ever.
They even surprised my brother with ice cream, a candle and sang him happy birthday, completely unexpected and so appreciated.
Absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a wholesome and relaxed meal with lovely service.
Will be going out of my way to go backsoon.... (I'll be sure to book ahead from now on)
