The best restaurantsof italian in Cork city council

21/10/2025: 3 of us really enjoyed our evening meal. Restaurant was buzzing.

07/10/2025: Excellent food, service and atmosphere!

04/10/2025: The food was fantastic. I had the wine and tasting menu it was delicious the pasta is to die for it was so good and after doing the wine tasting I realised I loved orange wine which is something I never tried. I tried new foods like duck liver and polenta and I was worried when I first tried it but it was so good. The pasta sauce oh my god I want a jar of it.

01/10/2025: A little gem in Cork. The ingredients and dishes are very good and beautifully presented. The waiters are friendly and helpful. The owner, Mirko, is a friendly person who's easy to talk to. If you're visiting during high season or on weekends, I recommend booking a few days in advance.

22/10/2025: The place is basically inside the pub. To be honest, we took the pizza only because we didn't want to drink the beer without eating. The guys inside were very nice, and after tasting a garlic bread made with the pizza dough, we tried the pizza itself. Well, I'm not into napolitan style of pizza, but this was one of the best I tried. The only suggestion I give to this people is to cook it a little slower to burn the yeasts a little bit more, but the taste was flawless. Also, they don't put ananas on pizza, even if you ask. Good work guys, godspeed.

13/10/2025: Excellent pizza at a reasonable price

15/11/2025: Came down to cork for a quick trip from Dublin and just had to try this restaurant. Alex was very helpful, with an amazing recommendation of the lasagna, couldn’t recommend this place more.

04/11/2025: Florencia provided excellent service. The food was very friendly and the staff were great. We were very happy with our dining experience at Rossini.

24/09/2025: Loved this place! We got this on a local recomendation and it was a good one. Food was equal to Rome but the hostess and service made the experience great! Highly recomend

14/09/2025: We found it by chance, but it was a sure hit. The food was excellent, and the service was exceptional. The lasagna was spectacular. Be aware that they charge you the mandatory 10% tip when you pay.

12/11/2025: Food was nice but the service was so rushed. We'd barely sat down before the starters were slapped down and it was the same for the mains. It all felt so hectic. I wouldn't go back.

08/11/2025: Clam chowder was poor lot of unopened clams in it. Main was excellent. Was left waiting long time for drinks during meal. Was waiting a long time for desert menu eventually chef seen we had been abandoned and came out to give us the menu.

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.

10/10/2025: Must say this is one of the best Italian restaurants in Cork. It’s very cosy, great selection of food and the staff are very friendly. The chef brought the food out. Definitely recommend it for anyone seeking real, Italian cuisine.

08/09/2025: Hello. The food and service here is divine. All for a reasonable price too in this day and age. My friend Edward also loved it. I feel that a reel picture cinema deal should be introduced for ballincollig film club members. Thank you bye

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

02/10/2025: Italian vetted pizzeria, best pizza I've ever had outside of Italy. Small place, family owned. Recommended

31/10/2025: Very good pizzas and very friendly staff

27/10/2025: Food always nice here, town shop is quite small, and there was no water in the toilets to wash hands and no so hmm either so I ended up with loads of soap on my hands and no way to wash it off 🤪 Staff nice tho.
