The best restaurantsof italian

31/03/2026: My first time trying Carbonara and I thing I choose the best place, simply amazing.

29/03/2026: Great staff, tasty food and pleasant atmosphere, not loud.

23/02/2026: Reviewing based on both visits to this venue. The first one (in 2024) was fab with a true speakeasy vibe and some lovely cocktails. However, I was turned away this evening from my booking which I had rearranged for an earlier time (40mins early) due to a change in our dinner reservation. This was agreed with the venue but we were turned away when we arrived (after organising our trip back to suit the last minute changes). It was a shame we didn't get to drink here again and felt let down by the comms not landing for us to be seated and had no choice but to cancel rather than wait. We would perhaps go back next time we visit Dublin due to the venue.

20/02/2026: I would love to come and review this place incredibly highly but unfortunately I cannot. The initial experience and communication before booking was extremely helpful and left me very excited and hopeful, however the real life experience was more than disappointing. Walking in was so much fun and I was ready for a fun encounter. The minute we sat down our waitress was instantly rude and cold. Giving dirty looks to us, those looks could not be misconstrued. I gave the benefit of the doubt however the rest of my table continued to notice considerable rudeness. My boyfriend was almost cross examined about his drink choice by the same server. Furthermore when we asked for water another from our table was met with a finger in the face and general attitude. This trip was specifically for a surprise for our boyfriend’s joint birthday and there was pre warning to this, there was no recognition to this, or even a simple happy birthday. We spoke to another member of staff about our experience and she was beyond kind, beyond attentive. I just wish she was our waitress for the whole experience. I would like to preface this by saying I appreciate you cannot be on your A game all the time, but it does take more energy to be that UNKIND to people than it does to make general pleasantries.

23/03/2026: Bro the pizza doesn’t look or taste like a pizza its far from pizza honestly just remove your deal and make a nice and good pizza 🍕

16/03/2026: The 9 inch pizza deal is a steal, amazing value. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, with a special mention to Maia.

08/03/2026: Very kind. Have a good evening.

17/02/2026: Great traditional Italian food and drinks! We eat here often.

15/03/2026: Really enjoyed a very nice evening here. Staff were friendly and food was very tasty. Would have loved a slightly larger main course otherwise everything was bang on.

07/03/2026: We didn't have food so I can't comment on that but the food I saw looked excellent. The cocktails we had were probably the best we've ever had, really really nice. The staff are excellent and very friendly. The place itself is absolutely tiny and, for us, kind of uncomfortable ......... unless you whisper everyone can hear everything you're saying. It's fine for a cocktail or two but I wouldn't spend my night here, it's just too quiet and small.

26/02/2026: Absolutely brilliant place, food is some of the best I’ve ever had. If I’m ever in Cork again, I will be back. Thank you so much for making this work trip a little easier.

21/02/2026: Nice place, very friendly staff.

17/02/2026: Absolutely love this place, delicious food. Especially spaghetti bolognaise tastes amazing. Nice restaurant, relaxing atmosphere and great friendly staff service. Fantastic meal courses.

21/11/2025: Unreal food and Shonagh our server was excellent so attentive and gave the best recommendations!!!

14/09/2025: Service was appalling, was trying to order a drink was asked to move certain area so I did. Then proceeded to get ignored by the bar staff who asked me to move in so I asked why, again because I was “not in the que” even though there was no designated Que here sign. Didn’t get name but very distinct staff member, Round glasses and mullet working upstairs by the smoking area absolutely awful service. All could have been avoided by better communication.

13/09/2025: Great sevice lovely food unreal cocktails and great vibes

30/03/2026: I was very sad when this place closed few months ago but they reopened even stronger. Papa's bistro never disappoints. Always amazing. Love their salads and pizza's. Recomended to my friends as well,specially considering they offer many halal options. Btw their scones are the best in Limerick.freshly baked. keep serving good food

15/02/2026: Cajun chicken salad is quite hot.... Helps clear sinuses 😁 quite filling though for anyone with the right mixture of salad leaves and balsamic flavour...

08/02/2026: I have never finished a pizza before.. ever..before tonight ! The pizza here is incredible! Freshly cooked with authentic toppings, no chain restaurant crap here. Options of 10 inch (I had) or 12 inch which Would be sharing. A very basic restaurant with a very special vibe , it’s like sitting in your granny’s 💗 basic menu but food cooked fresh and to perfection .. original paintings from his daughter adorn the walls … we will be back!

06/02/2026: Great place to eat pasta and pizza, Impressed the best pizza I've ever eaten, just the dough and the ingredients very homemade. The pasta is simple and tasty. Spectacular salad. Authentic place without pretensions. We will be back

04/04/2026: Delightful small neighborhood Italian restaurant. Absolutely delicious in house made ravioli! Several different varieties to choose from.

01/04/2026: Overall, a super humble and cute Italian spot with handmade pasta. Absolutely enjoyed the seafood pasta, burrata and tiramisu! These 3 are the highlights of my meal!

08/03/2026: This place is amazing and has great prices and ice cream, there is a big variety throuout all locations <3

16/01/2026: Staff was great. They were very polite and I would recommend gino’s to my friends

02/04/2026: So good we may just have to go a second time before we leave!! The bolognese and margarita pizza were both incredible.

29/03/2026: This was the best carbonara I've ever had in my life! The wine was also reasonably priced and delicious. The service was excellent.

18/03/2026: We as a family celebrated my partners 60th birthday last night , the staff were fantastic, the food was amazing , looking forward to returning in the future

21/02/2026: It's an amazing place! Delicious meals, friendly and professional staff.

22/03/2026: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fantastic dining experience! The service at Wine House is incredibly professional and welcoming, making you feel relaxed and comfortable. I especially loved their pasta—authentic, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. It's a perfect place for gatherings with friends, with a wonderful atmosphere for both dining and conversation. Highly recommended!

22/03/2026: Came here, after years of meaning to, had the tastiest lasagne I have ever had. My wife's pasta was the best she had in years. We also had the profiteroles which my wife said was her favourite she ever had. Service was swift and friendly and the restaurant was beautifully laid out. My only regret is I waited so long to vist, but I will certainly be back again. Food didn't last long enough for pictures to be taken.
