The best restaurantsof italian in Cork

05/10/2026: Let's start with a mile negative, this place is not cheap. But you get what you pay for, because the food, the wine and the service here are top notch. Very highly recommended.

21/09/2026: Best meal I've had in 3.5 weeks in England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales!

12/09/2026: Ordered the Special Seafood Pasta, delicious and pleasantly surprised on the delivery! Our waiter Chris friendly and had us laughing . We have a new cousin across the Atlantic Ocean!

12/09/2026: The food, atmosphere and service were fab. Chris is great craic, I’ll definitely be coming back!

01/09/2026: The food was delicious. The restaurant was quite empty, but we were served very quickly and courteously. We received a small complimentary treat from the kitchen and our food arrived promptly. I can't comment on the pizza, but the pasta was very tasty. If we were in the area more often, we would definitely eat here more often.

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.

18/09/2026: Our party of four was looking for a place to eat dinner. While we enjoyed the Irish pub atmosphere, we wanted something different. We found this place by chance. Although we didn’t have a reservation and they were busy, they welcomed us and were very accommodating. Honestly, everything about this place exceeded our expectations: the food, the service, the friendliness of our servers, the atmosphere…I’d give them 10 stars if I could! We’re from the States but if we ever come back to Cork, we’ll be back!

15/09/2026: Wonderful restaurant love the food. Had a penne pasta w/chicken. The pasta sauce was tasty beyond expectations, wonderful The folks that work there really want to please. Loved it

04/10/2026: This was a favorite stop of ours on our road trip. The pizza was amazing! I had the piccola diavola. It was delicious. My boyfriend had the margherita and really enjoyed his, too. We ate outside. It was busy, but also very relaxing for us.

02/10/2026: Let no one say they don't know how to make pizza outside of Italy, because this one was amazing. I chose the ingredients myself because the other options didn't entirely convince me, and I was happy with that. There's only one dessert, and it's a bit pricey but good. Maybe it would have been better if the crusts had been a little thinner so there would have been more for those who leave them.

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.

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.
