The best restaurantsof italian in Cork city council

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!

06/12/2025: Had a lovely dinner and the food was outstanding. We had a seafood pasta and a truffle linguine plus starters (salad and bruschetta) and desserts (brownie and a crepe). Will definitely come back!

01/12/2025: Lovely place,delicious food great atmosphere.I would highly recommend this restaurant.The best food ever 🥰

30/12/2025: Coming here years we always keep it for special occasions so we don’t get sick of the place, it always ends up being a treat, always great service and amazing food

04/12/2025: Very nice food, I ordered the risotto à la salsichia, it was delicious!! 😍

16/01/2026: We arrived at this place and it seemed old and not very clean, the staff was running everywhere in a hurry and with dirty hands they took forks, glasses and dishes, no hygiene and dirt almost everywhere, including the bathrooms which were appalling and I don't understand how they use them in Ireland, very dirty, little civility in this restaurant and, many drunks and terrible and slow service, the dishes were far from Italian food, dubious quality meals and nothing good, the owners were rude and busy with their phones as well as there was a stench coming out of the smelly kitchen, dangerous candles on the tables, we at least smiled with other people because of the slow service, I would not go back again and I certainly do not recommend it in addition to saying that the cleanliness is lacking and the food was not good and well presented, horrible Experience

16/01/2026: The restaurant is in the center but a bit outdated. We noticed the dirt and the slow and disorganized service. The food is definitely not Italian, of poor quality. The owners are rude and busy on the phone. I do not recommend the restaurant and will never return. It's terrible.

13/12/2025: A slice of Italy adapted to Irish style, combining Italian warmth with Irish kindness. Emiliano and his staff are very kind and knowledgeable! Thank you for the excellent dinner!

28/11/2025: The best chef and all the staff are very professional I go often and always make me so happy

07/01/2026: Bad service, they're shoveling food in front of you not even clearing the table of the previous course. Food is good (avoid arancini/rice balls they're dry and overcooked) and okay priced. Despite booking a table they put you in a random place not caring at all about the booking (Ie: twi peopl in a table of 4, then move you again in front of the return empty dishes place always there

06/01/2026: The food was amazing. Fresh and feel good after it.

05/12/2025: Great little place to grab a pizza. I got a small pizza here and wish I had gotten more. It was delicious. And the people in there were so nice. I will be back.

12/10/2025: Incredible place, incredible waitress, incredible owner and incredible food! Grazie Mille!!!

26/12/2025: Genuinely one of the top 5 pizzas I’ve ever had, their piccola diavola is amazing, the chilli honey is so sweet and it’s cooked perfectly. Stunning food. Smash.

16/12/2025: Always an enjoyable addition to having the best craft beer in Cork.

26/10/2025: I would consider myself a regular customer of the claddagh restaurant and what makes me a "regular customer " is simple. Quality. Quality food, quality service. I have sampled virtually every choice on the menu over the past few years and have never left disappointed. As they say in sporting circles, " form is temporary, class is permanent ". BTW, im not connected with management, staff, in any way other than a relationship built on wonderful dining experiences. My wife and I love the place and will continue to tell anyone with ears about the claddagh restaurant.

16/10/2025: Dropped into the Claddagh after seeing a few “decent” reviews. We arrived just after opening, yet three dishes on the menu were already unavailable — not a great start. “The best fish & chips in Blarney”… Bold claim. I had to see for myself. The verdict? This title could only be accurate under two circumstances: 1. The Claddagh is the only place serving fish in Blarney. 2. The claim is quietly revised to “best fish goujon” — because what arrived was a tiny portion that under the right lighting, could have been mistaken for a length of dental floss. To make matters worse, the peas listed on the menu were missing entirely. I’d normally raise this with staff, but by the time I noticed, the meagre 2–3 bites of fish had already vanished. At least the little that was served seemed fresh and was decently cooked. Meanwhile, the Asian/Chinese options looked suspiciously like they’d wandered in from the Chinese restaurant next door. My girlfriend’s chilli chicken was significantly better than my “fish & chips” and actually resembled a meal. In short: don’t come here for the fish. If you do venture in, stick to the Asian dishes. Otherwise, save yourself the disappointment.

11/12/2025: I can't imagine pizza tasting better!

26/11/2025: Very good service, and food is so delicious

05/01/2026: Since Irish food is what it is, a good pizza is always welcome. And they make really good ones here.

23/12/2025: Interesting ordering policy. They operate a FILO system - First In, Last to Order
