The best restaurantsof italian

23/11/2025: Have been frequenting this restaurant since it opened. Fantastic as always. Super food and fabulous hospitality. Highly recommend a visit.

01/11/2025: From an Italian, best Italian in Ireland. Service amazing. Thanks guys

16/12/2025: A safe bet for Italians! A very refined atmosphere, a very nice place! The food is good Italian for a foreign country, recommended for those who want a pasta dish or a good main course! The staff is very kind and friendly, greetings to Giorgia!

13/12/2025: I ordered the 23 euro carbonara. I found it too salty for my taste to be enjoyable. I know carbonara contains salty ingredients but I've had others that were more balanced. The portion size was too small for me personally especially considering the price, I was still a bit hungry afterwards. The service was ok, but it seemed like the waiter didn't care and might even come off as a bit rude. I don't think we were being terrible customers. The atmosphere and the decorations were very good. I would not recommend the carbonara and would suggest ordering something else.

27/12/2025: One of the best Paninis I ever had.

19/12/2025: Very authentic Italian place with nice cocktails and cheese/meat boards. They have a lot of different items on the menu to choose from. The lady from Abruzzo Is very friendly and welcoming.

16/12/2025: Efficient and friendly service with helpful menu advice. We were a group of 8 and everyone enjoyed the experience. The antipasti platter was particularly good.

16/12/2025: DON'T BOTHER!! I went in and asked for a table for one around 4:30 pm. The hostess asked me how many of us there were, then started looking at her screen. The other host walked back and they began speaking to each other in another language. She then looked at me, smiled, and said they didn't have anything available at the moment. There was no option to wait a few minutes or anything. All the other 1-star reviews had a similar or worse experience with rude service. DON'T BOTHER!

20/12/2025: Excellent Italian food. Great service 👏

15/12/2025: Pasta is the best in town. However, I feel like the quality lowered down in few things like the complementary bread at the beginning (before they brought more quantity and olive oil where now they serve a small portion of focaccia). Also, quite expensive the focaccia for the portion. They used to have bigger portions of desserts where now the cannolo comes in a small millegoglie. The tiramosu used to had a delicius crushed dark chocolate and last time it came with one that seemed like the milk Cadbury one from the celebration boxes. Hoping that they keep the amazing standard on the little details that they used to have. Finally, the attention and atmosphere there is amazing. They make you feel like home.

06/09/2025: Very family friendly and delicious breakfast!

30/08/2025: We've been living in the area for about 15 years or so but yesterday evening was my first visit for some takeaway pizza for the family. It was excellent and we will be back!

06/10/2025: Very nice place with great food and good service. I higly recommend that restaurant!

06/12/2025: Party of four for dinner. Limited gluten free options. Service was slow but they were very busy to be fair. A side salad was just a bowl of lettuce, which seemed poor. Overall, some meals were good, but slightly over priced. 10% service charge was added by default, which is bad form for a small table. Wouldn't go again. Pleasant atmosphere and a good view though.

14/11/2025: Fantastic experience this weekend for a special birthday celebration lunch. Virginia and the entire team at Oliveto and The Parlour, were outstanding. Nothing like a warm welcome and personal service as well as fabulous food, beautiful surroundings and a venue with style. We are very grateful to Virginia and the team for their upbeat, professional engagement and service. Our drinks and bar snacks afterwards at the Parlour with some additional guests, were also superb and enjoyed by all. A big thank you! We will be back!

08/12/2025: We visited this restaurant last Friday and were really disappointed. The food itself was only okay, but the prices were extremely high — I had a half-portion of spaghetti that cost €24. We asked for tap water and were still given a bottled water, which added another €8 to the bill. The service felt reluctant and not particularly friendly, and when we went to pay, we were shocked to be asked for a gratuity of 20% or €10 (€30) per seat. For the level of service we received, this was completely unreasonable. Overall, it was not a good experience and we won’t be returning.

06/12/2025: Lovely place, all the personnel are polite will be back again 🥰

08/12/2025: Great Italian food, very nice coffee the best in swords. Great little spot.

06/12/2025: Pizza is unreal, the best you're going to get, the staff are also lovely.

13/12/2025: Pleasant cosy cafe with some nice food and good coffee with Italian people working there. Enjoyable for brunch.

12/11/2025: Great food in this small Italian restaurant

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

11/12/2025: Went for cocktails, got recommended one for what I liked. Great staff, and a great recommendations

09/12/2025: What a special place! Shhhh it's a secret hideaway! Drinks were fantastic, staff are great! Picked up a set of rocks glasses and their menu to take back with us!
