The best restaurantsof italian in Cork city council

05/09/2026: Starting with the positives: the service was fantastic. The waiters were very friendly and attentive, and the tiramisu is genuinely one of the best I’ve had in Cork. And honestly, that’s about as far as the positives go for me. The food itself is perfectly fine — I’d describe it as average. There are definitely better Italian restaurants in Cork, but there’s nothing particularly wrong with the food either. What really put me off, and ultimately means we won’t be coming back, is the restaurant itself. It is unbelievably noisy. I assume this is partly because they have squeezed an enormous number of tables into a very small space, with barely any room between them. I have no idea what the maximum capacity of that little room is, but when you’re sitting beside the counter, you can practically hear conversations from people sitting by the windows. Of course, it becomes a vicious cycle: because the background noise is already so loud, everyone has to speak louder and louder just to hear the person sitting opposite them, which makes the whole place even noisier. I actually left with a mild headache from the noise. Because of this, the atmosphere was completely lost for me. It’s difficult to relax and enjoy your meal when you feel like you have to shout across the table. Overall, the service and tiramisu were excellent, and the food was perfectly acceptable, but the noise level completely ruined the experience for us. Unfortunately, it’s not somewhere we would return to.

27/08/2026: Wow!! What a find Da Mirco Restaurant was! We were visiting Cork for a few days to celebrate our Ruby Wedding Anniversary and wanted somewhere to eat on our first evening, after a little research Da Mirco was the stand out choice and having now experienced personally, can categorically say that all the great reviews are totally justified! We had an absolutely wonderful evening, fabulous atmosphere in the restaurant, very busy but due to it's compact size still felt very homely and welcoming. The menu had a varied choice which took us some time to choose because everything sounded delicious........and it was! We shared a starter of Monkfish tails which were cooked to perfection and was one of those plates that you don't want to end! Followed this with two superb main courses, I went for pork loin, my wife had seafood pasta, both absolutely delicious! Finished the meal with a perfect Tiramisu. Coupling this meal with a nice choice of wine and being served by lovely friendly staff, made this whole evening one wich will remain fondly in our memory for a very long time. Thanks! PS.......If Hannah, our terrific server gets to see this review, please tell her we went for the infinity tattoos........she'll know what we mean, ha ha! :-)

16/08/2026: Outstanding dining experience thanks to Chris! He provided attentive, friendly, and highly professional service throughout our dinner

15/08/2026: Good food, good drinks, good atmosphere, and friendly service! One of my favourite restaurants in Cork City! 👏 If you're looking for a good Italian Restaurant in Cork, I don't think you can find a better one than Rosinis in my opinion. 🇮🇹

20/08/2026: We went at a quiet mid afternoon and had a peaceful lovely meal. They cater for GF diets and all pasta dishes and have GF pizza bases. A truly relaxing experience with great unobtrusive staff.

16/08/2026: I recently went to this restaurant for lunch with a friend. I ordered a salad and my friend had a pizza. The food was good overall, so I would give it 4 stars. Unfortunately, the service really let the experience down. The waitresses kept coming over and asking if we were ready to order, even though we clearly weren’t. It became quite irritating and felt very unprofessional. We got the impression that they simply wanted us to order and leave as quickly as possible. The restaurant was also very busy, which made it difficult to have a conversation and made the atmosphere feel quite overwhelming. Overall, the food was good, but the service made the experience much less enjoyable than it could have been.

31/07/2026: Passing through the area, we stopped at this small restaurant tucked away in an alley. Excellent, authentic pasta carbonara and cannelloni. Quite generous portions. Pleasant and attentive service. I recommend it.

11/07/2026: Great food and service. Friendly owners take good care of their customers. Prices are very reasonable!! Definitely will be back next time Im in Cork.

03/08/2026: A great Italian restaurant for a delicious and comfortable meal. The waiter, Alejandro, is very friendly and will make your visit wonderful.

02/08/2026: Great food, reasonable price. Staff were 10 out of 10.

06/09/2026: Enjoy the pizza nice delicious. Beer is different level. We are coming back every so often and never disappoint! Keep it UP!

27/08/2026: Not the biggest range of pizza toppings but pizzas look really nice authentic ones. Nice outdoor area with music but tends to be pretty busy so hard to get a table if you're having a pizza

15/08/2026: Food is very good but we spent our meal listening to TikTok videos a staff member was playing on their phone (having asked them to turn it down three times)

14/08/2026: The food was very good and the waiter spoke Spanish, so that was great.

26/08/2026: their use of AI for posters is very disappointing. not very authentic italian at all and very unsustainable

23/08/2026: Thank you so much for the delicious pizza! 🍕❤️The atmosphere was so beautiful… just like a little Italy. 🇮🇹✨

29/07/2026: Very well priced, very familiar food. The atmosphere is laid back and informal (in a good way), and the locals come here which means it must be good! Highly recommend their daily roast.

30/04/2026: I have to say we eat here now and then when we are in blarney this restaurant is the best by a country mile in Ireland nothing would come close to it fantastic staff owner lovely person food amazing anyone that puts up a negative post about the cladagh must be in the wrong place you couldn't get better top class
