The best restaurantsof italian in Cork city council

19/02/2026: Great food lively atmosphere,its why I keep coming back

18/02/2026: Nice food .. dishes looked well presented

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!

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.

24/01/2026: I got the chicken lasagna and my friend the spaghetti carbonara and both were amazing!

23/01/2026: Good, but far too expensive for the quality of the food. Over €20 for a pizza...

07/02/2026: The restaurant was dimly lit and the atmosphere wasn't exactly lively, the service wasn't as fast as expected and the food didn't remind us of our home-cooked food, a shame.

04/02/2026: The restaurant is centrally located, small and dark, the service isn't exactly fast, the food isn't to our liking, and it's far from authentic Italian cuisine. We were unfortunately disappointed.

07/01/2026: Always great service and incredible food

07/01/2026: The food was excellent —great quality and very tasty! The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because the restaurant lacked proper heating, which made the experience a bit uncomfortable.

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!!!

05/01/2026: Being Italian, I usually avoid pizza abroad and prefer local food. In this case, I've never trusted the reviews, which have proven to be reliable. We ordered four Margherita pizzas, and they were truly delicious. Very fast service.

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.

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

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

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.

03/02/2026: The pizza was very good and priced at a competitive rate. Especially considering the number of pizza joints in Cork City. The seating inside is smaller but they have tables outside, too. However sitting inside was not problem at lunch.

28/01/2026: I ordered 2 pizzas for Collection, Arrived in on time, no problem, pizza ready, perfect not busy, but not liking that when I asked to pay, I was handed a Credit Card Machine with Tip Options, I was getting a Take Away, Tip for what exactly? I do tip and tip generously at that, but not for fun, When I Tip, I Tip because::; The server went above and beyond, The Food Was Excellent And I was generally happy with my experience, I can Safely say that I will not be looked at in that way again, for not tipping a takeaway order, Domino's Donetellos or Four Star didn't do it, Tips Are Gratitudious, which means, you are gracious for an excellent service, not for simply doing your job
