The best restaurantsof italian in Cork

11/03/2026: Great Italian restaurant with delicious food. Friendly and helpful staff. Reasonable prices. I recommend it.

09/03/2026: 5* food and service. I had the Carbonara and the kids had goujons and chips. It was beautiful and as I was rushing for the airport, they facilitated me super fast, I calculated 6 minutes from ordering to table!! Delicious and fresh, will definitely return.

26/02/2026: Absolutely brilliant place, food is some of the best I’ve ever had. If I’m ever in Cork again, I will be back. Thank you so much for making this work trip a little easier.

21/02/2026: Nice place, very friendly staff.

12/04/2026: Good food and friendly staff, good Italian music.

04/04/2026: Went with 3 adults and 3 children food was super tasty ,service was very good and the staff were really nice,if you’re in Ballincollig well worth a visit,highly recommend.

06/05/2026: One of the best options, in my opinion, in Cork city where you can celebrate an occasion in a fancy and delicious way. I’m a picky eater, but starters and pasta here were absolutely amazing, ended up eating them quite fast hehe.

16/04/2026: We visited with high expectations, but unfortunately the experience was very underwhelming—especially for the price point. The food was not bad, but it was completely average and lacked any real character. The Penne Filetto was okay, but nothing memorable—something you would expect at a much lower price. The calamari fritti portion was small and overpriced for what it was. The burrata was fresh and probably the highlight, but it was extremely simple and did not justify the €12.70 price tag. Desserts were again just average, nothing special. The wine (Montepulciano d’Abruzzo) felt like a basic, low-cost bottle being sold at a premium price without adding any real value. Service unfortunately matched the food: polite, but indifferent and lacking warmth or attention. Overall, the atmosphere felt uninspired and the whole experience quite disappointing. For €93 for two people, we expected something significantly better. The value for money is simply not there. We won’t be returning

15/04/2026: I ordered the seafood pasta with a side of garlic bread and unfortunately it was quite disappointing. I had visited a few years ago and ordered the same dish, which was beautifully presented (served in a tinfoil swan) and absolutely delicious, so I was really looking forward to it again. This time it was a completely different experience. The pasta was covered in a bland tomato sauce and the seafood was overcooked. The garlic bread was also very poor, the bread itself tasted dry and the garlic butter wasn’t fully melted. It’s a shame as I used to rave about this place, but based on this visit, I wouldn’t be recommending it anymore.

12/04/2026: A top-notch culinary experience, refined dishes featuring excellent ingredients and meticulously presented. Thanks to Chef Achille, who amazed us with bold yet perfectly balanced pairings! Impeccable service, highly recommended!

09/05/2026: Food was bland and tasteless. Felt rushed to leave at the end when the bill came. Lots of great places to eat in cork. This is not one of them. Definitely will not return and would not recommend. Avoid!

28/04/2026: Friendly, efficient staff,good food served with a smile. It has been years since I dined at Bocelli.It was good then remains so. The staff are warm and friendly just as they were in the past. Consistency is King and Queen.😊

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
