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!

10/06/2026: Fantastic experience at Bocelli! The ribeye steak was absolutely amazing — perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of flavor. A special thanks to Gabriel for his excellent service and wine recommendation, which paired beautifully with the steak. Great food, great atmosphere, and outstanding hospitality. Highly recommended, and we’ll definitely be back!

10/06/2026: Such a lovely meal at Bocelli. The olives were incredibly tasty, and the steak was one of the best we’ve had in a long time. Everything was full of flavour and clearly made with care. We left happy and looking forward to coming back.

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

12/06/2026: I always have ordered Pesto base pizza. I have been loyal to ordering it for over three years now. Today when I picked my phone to order the pizza. I see you have taken out the Pesto base. I've always admired the taste of pesto and fire pizza. There is a huge difference in the taste. Except sun dried tomatoes. All other toppings have been lowered in quality. Olives tasted pretty bad and parmesan base feels like vomit. Extremely disappointed you guys. Bring back pesto.

28/05/2026: We had a New York pizza, it was objectively not tasty, I would only like to highlight the sauce, the rest is pretty bad
