Il Padrino
Cork
06/03/2026: The food is so nice. The restaurant get full very quickly. The price is reasonable.
03/03/2026: the food was in no way worth the price. 22 euros for carbonara is a scam. It's very crowded and you can see the dirty kitchen and cooks without uniforms or headgear. unacceptable behavior in the open kitchen. and the Italian owners speak excellent Arabic 😅

Ristorante Rossini
Cork
16/03/2026: Sunday night, 8.30pm. 6 waiters passed by without acknowledging we came in for our booking until I approached. Weren’t asked if we want our mains with starters so ended up waiting for one person with starter. Took extra 20 minutes to bring out dinner after starter was picked up from table. Meal was lovely. Attitude to left over food you can see for yourself
10/03/2026: Super friendly and very accommodating! Food is amazing!

Bocelli
Cork
04/03/2026: Edit: Since posting this, Kristina, one of the managers, kindly rang me to apologise for the experience. She explained they were extremely busy that day and very generously offered to process the gift card over the phone. She was genuinely lovely to deal with and I really appreciated her taking the time to follow up!
I rang today to purchase a gift card. On my first call, I was politely told to ring back later as no one was available to process it at the time, which was completely understandable.
However, when I called back, the person who answered was very abrupt and dismissive. When I asked to purchase a gift card I got an abrupt no I was told I would need to come in to purchase a gift card and the call was ended immediately.
What made this more frustrating is that the restaurant’s website states that gift cards can be purchased over the phone. If that’s no longer the case, it would be helpful to update the information online. The interaction felt unnecessarily unfriendly and left a disappointing impression, especially when I was simply trying to support the business.
01/03/2026: Place number one to go in Cork. Food just amazing 😻

EATin'IT
Blarney
03/02/2026: Takeaway and Dine in options. Looks like a takeaway from outside but actually an authentic Italian restaurant. The decor is very Italian. Some warm colour bulbs could soften atmosphere in the evening. Food was very good and enjoyable. Staff friendly and attentive.
02/02/2026: Got two pizzas as take out and wish we would have eaten in the restaurant! The pizzas were truly fantastic but the service was the shining star. The owner is incredibly warm, welcoming, and friendly. Made me wish we would have sat down and eaten our spectacular pizzas in the restaurant and continued the conversation the owner struck up for the few short minutes I was in to pick up our order. Highly recommend!

Pompeii Pizza
Cork
28/02/2026: Great pizzas and a really nice overall vibe.
There are good vegetarian options, which is a big plus. I liked almost all the pizzas, but my favourites were the Quattro Formaggi (Four Cheese) and the Marinara, simple and done really well.
The place has a warm, cosy atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed evening.
Beers are excellent, I usually go for the Chieftain IPA, and it never disappoints.
Would definitely recommend for pizza + craft beer lovers
22/02/2026: Staff were friendly service was quick! Nice menu & reasonably priced

Oak Fire Pizza
Cork
11/03/2026: Hands down the worst pizza I have ever had. It was just slapped together and served to us. 3 ppl ordered the pepperoni extravaganza land 2/3 got pepperoni on their pizza like you would expect. I had 110 total pepperoni on a 12 inch pizza. It’s sad. I paid more than they did and got less of a “pizza” than they did. I took pictures to show the difference between them and me. It sucks because it wasn’t even good so we just left it as is and got out of there as soon as we could. Don’t go here if you want quality pizza. This place isn’t for you
19/02/2026: For a cheap meal this place was fine. I would go here again as the pizza was cooked perfectly with minimal burning.
Most places that use this method burning the pizza but the chef here takes care.
Thanks for the meal 😋

LA TANA
Cork
12/02/2026: I used to order here when I lived in Cork 4years ago. I ordered today again as I’m here for holidays and I can say it is still the Best pizza in Cork by far.
Mixes Italian style crust with strong flavours you’ll remember.
Also if you have the chance try the garlic mayo, a bit expensive but worth every penny, owner told me they make it fresh every week and it tastes amazing.
I lived in Spain and Italy and never thought best pizza I’ve ever tried would be in Cork.
22/01/2026: If you’re in Cork and craving pizza, Verace Pizza is a must-try! I ordered the 12-inch Verace pizza and a Student Deal, and the quality blew me away. The pizza base is perfectly crispy and full of flavor, and the garlic mayo topping is absolutely irresistible. For those looking for a great value, the meal deal comes with pizza, chips, and a drink. Hands down, one of the best pizza spots in Cork—delicious, fresh, and worth every bite! I would like to mention one think if you want to collect it directly it will take only 10 to 15 mintz but for delivery it will take nearly an hr but the pizza will be hot .. so I prefer to buy directly from the shop

The Brick Oven

14/07/2025: Beau choix de plats et excellent accueil!
Nous étions un groupe de 8 personnes, chacun a trouvé ce qui lui convenait et personne n’a été déçu.

16/06/2025: Ristorante tipicamente nord europeo, senza tante apparecchiature, ma con cibo molto buono. Abbiamo mangiato fish&Chips, ben fatto, fritto bene, non unto, ma croccante e leggero. Ottimo anche l'irish coffe. Le porzioni sono abbondanti, tant'è che ci siamo limitati al solo main course, saltando apetizer e dessert. Prezzi nella norma della tipologia di ristorante. Consigliato
