The best restaurantsof italian in Cork

17/04/2025: Food: tasty, flavourful and absolutely authentic dishes. We tried their calamari fritti for starters. It was tasty but could have been better. For mains we had their pomodoro chorizo and carbonara. Both were absolutely excellent! Service: service was friendly and quite fast. Ambience: beautiful and cozy ambience. They have a cute fishtank at the entrance which we loved. Every table has a small lamp which gives very cozy vibes. Definitely coming here for more

05/04/2025: Nice food. Went in the middle of the day so hard to judge atmosphere

28/04/2025: A pizzeria that understands that more is not better.

08/04/2025: First stop on a trip to Ireland in this pizzeria/bar (the 2 businesses seem to be merged), with a magnificent terrace! The place seems very busy, the pizzas are very good and accompanied by beers from the neighboring bar it's perfect!

29/04/2025: Food was very disappointing. Starter average. Mains where not very nice, too much oil and sea food was not at its freshest. Wine was not fizzy . Had a bad toilet experience and hour after . Really not impressed. Came here a 2 years ago and it was great . I feel this place needs a rethink.

18/04/2025: Great small Italian spot, cozy, with fantastic food and service all around.

17/04/2025: Muy buena opción en Cork, muy bien tratados por Alex, el camarero italiano. Carne y pescado ricos y sabrosos, no todo es pasta y pizza.

15/04/2025: I can't recommend it! Spaghetti without cheese. She's expecting a delivery today. I asked if I should quickly go and buy it myself at the store. She said a delivery was expected. The fluffy ragu was good, but the sides looked like they'd been served before. The potatoes were warmed over and inedible. Completely overpriced, and having the service staff chewing gum is unacceptable. Wasted time!

03/05/2025: Love il Padrino. The managers are extremely friendly whenever we visit. The waiters are so welcoming also. We recommend prawns, bruschetta, and penne ruspanti…they never disappoint. Highly Recommend il Padrino, 10/10 :)

24/04/2025: The carbonara is to die for. I'm not kidding. It's the best Carbonara I've ever had, and I've had a few. Pizza was really good, too, and Tiramisu was just amazing. Service is exceptional. We were seated right at the pass where the food came out of the kitchen, and it was so nice to see the whole process (I watched my Carbonara being made and plated just for me). Wine was delicious. The only beer they have is Peroni, but sure, that's not the end of the world. Loved everything about it, the atmosphere, food, service, all 10 out of 10.

19/03/2025: Staying in Ballincollig for a few nights and fancied a pizza. Tried Bacco because of Google reviews and didn't regret it. It was superb. It's a lovely crust with quality ingredients. Got it as a takeaway, but next time we're in town, will definitely sit in...throughly recommend

22/02/2025: No recomendaría. La comida no estaba bien. Había un ambiente extraño desde allí. No te hagas perder el dinero. Ir a la casa de comercio, mejor comida

15/04/2025: Magnífico. Gran opción de menú. Excelente servicio. Tuvimos una comida encantadora aquí para todos nosotros. Los niños tenían el mismo menú, pero se les dio porciones más pequeñas a mitad de precio. Definitivamente volveré

12/04/2025: Recommend for food in the Cork. Absolutely great food and dessert. 2xtimes I was here

08/04/2025: Made the mistake of looking at reviews online before coming here, it meant we already had our pizzas eyed up and particularly the breadsticks, it all amounted to a lot of food but as the nice lady serving us said we can have the leftovers for breakfast. The breadsticks were totes amaze and is definitely worth getting if you head this way. The pizzas were brilliant, cooked to perfection, I ordered the carnivore pizza which came with black pudding so I was a very full boy pretty soon. The girlfriend ordered the Emilia and wouldn’t let me try her pizza which means it must have been good. Quite a small establishment but the guys there made us feel very welcome and insisted we move to a bigger table to feel more comfortable

27/03/2025: They have to improve their dough yet. Sometimes it's a little chewy...

06/04/2025: This local business is one of Cork's best kept secrets. It's a small eatery but we've always been able to sit down, and you won't be waiting long for good food. Since Bella Napoli no longer serves pizza, I can definitely call this the best in Cork.

31/12/2024: Absolutely disgusting. Not only that this is not pizza dough but the order was 1 hour late and they even messed up the order THEY SENT A DISGUSTING PIZZA WITH PINEAPPLE! Absolutely disgusting! Never again
