Da Mirco
Cork
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!

Gallo & Galetti
Cork
07/01/2026: Not really authentic Italian if that's what you're in the mood for. Pasta was bland eating in, and a while back we got takeaway and had 2 different pasta dishes that tasted basically the same (and equally lacking in flavour besides just cream and garlic).
I've been going here on and off for about 6 years, used to LOVE it back then, but I don't think I'll be going again as I feel the quality and taste isn't the same anymore.
But - if it not being authentic doesn't bother you, it's still a decent spot, popular with locals. I'd recommend the pizza, and the Panna Cotta.
28/12/2025: This place is truly a hidden gem. We visited with our family and were honestly impressed from start to finish. The atmosphere feels elegant yet warm and inviting, giving it a premium touch without being stiff or formal. We ordered a variety of Italian classics — spaghetti, pizza, and a few other dishes — and every single plate was outstanding. The flavors were rich and authentic, the ingredients clearly high quality, and everything was beautifully prepared. The service was attentive, professional, and made us feel genuinely welcome. It’s rare to find a restaurant that combines top-tier food, a refined atmosphere, and a relaxed family-friendly vibe so effortlessly. An absolute must-visit for anyone who appreciates excellent Italian cuisine.

Ristorante Rossini
Cork
16/01/2026: Best dinner ever had in my life
16/01/2026: The restaurant is in the center but a bit outdated.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.

Bacco Ristorante Italiano
Cork
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.

Bocelli
Cork
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.

Oak Fire Pizza
Cork
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

LA TANA
Cork
11/01/2026: We ordered 5 pizzas at 20:50 with a delivery time of 21:40. This time came and went. When we called they said they were on the way however 10 mins later they called and said they’d be leaving soon (clearly our order had been forgotten about and they were only making them!). They arrived finally at 22:30, nearly 2 hours after we ordered. While the food was nice, the service was so poor. If a mistake was made just admit it. We spent nearly €100 and only received the most transactional apology.
Will never return.
La Tana used to be a special treat - so disappointing.
26/11/2025: food is good, but we waited 2 and a half hours for food to be delivered.

The Brick Oven
Cork
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.
Nous recommandons
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
