The best restaurantsof italian in Dublin

07/09/2025: Great restaurant, the owner is very nice and helpful, the food is delicious and the atmosphere is truly Italian

07/09/2025: Very attentive service, such a beautiful atmosphere and the owner makes the best dishes. Recommend pasta carbonara and prawn linguine. And you have to try the tiramisu, it's to die for.

09/09/2025: Best night in Dublin. Lovely service from Darius , delicious food. Wonderfull evening.

08/09/2025: We had a lovely experience at this Italian restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious — really, really tasty — and the place itself is beautiful. Prices are fair for the quality of the food, and we received excellent service from a Ukrainian waiter named Dima, who was very attentive and kind. The only disappointing part of our visit was the attitude of another waiter, who supposedly had more experience but treated us very poorly. We’re not sure if it was racism or something else, but his behavior was the only negative aspect of our evening. Overall, we highly recommend the restaurant for its food, atmosphere, and Dima’s great service.

17/08/2025: We dropped in spontaneously, and what can I say? The welcome and service were incredibly friendly, and the food was absolutely delicious and highly recommended. We'll definitely stop here on our next visit to Dublin.

17/08/2025: Incredibly good service, very friendly, and the food was delicious! Thank you so much! Highly recommended!

30/08/2025: Great vibe. Great staff. And great food!

26/08/2025: Well-made pasta, but ridiculously small portions, in contrast to the high price.

29/08/2025: Anyone get the name of the fitty waiter. Connell Waldron vibe! Extra dish served 💁🏼‍♀️ #findsean

22/08/2025: The chefs menu was one of the best meals I have recently had in Dublin. Great service and the organic sparkling rosé was so special! Kudos to their sommelier who curated the wine list. Will be back as the soon as we can get another reservation ❤️

04/08/2025: Had food and drinks, great experience would recommend

30/07/2025: Made reservations and got seated right away! The servers really know their cocktails and gave us great recommendations on what to try according to our taste. The cocktails were delicious and the food was great as well… the atmosphere was very chic and dimly lit, and not noisy at all for the small space.

25/08/2025: Top quality italian , amazing pizza and pasta , the service was superb , cant recomend this place enough. Great value for money 🇧🇷😋

22/08/2025: Pizza was great but maybe lacking a bit of imagination, for the price point and quality of the restaurant I would have expected a little more? I feel there is nicer more casual pizza spots that are cheaper,

08/09/2025: Great service and fold very good as usual

07/09/2025: We really enjoyed the food and great selection of wines. I would highly recommend

27/08/2025: We were served by Matheus, who was very friendly and efficient. He recommended some good pizzas. I recommend Milano, a temple bar in Dublin.

26/08/2025: Good food and very nice staff! Thank you!

01/08/2025: So lucky to have this place as our local Italian. The food, wine, and service are all superb. Every bite was delicious. No wonder there’s a queue before it even opens at 5. Can’t wait to go back!

29/07/2025: Grano had been on my list forever with all the hype — and wow, it actually lives up to it. Best Italian I’ve had in Dublin, no question. Everything was so fresh and full of flavour. Totally worth the wait for a table. Can’t wait to go back!

15/08/2025: Siamo stati a cena presso questo ristorante a ferragosto, dopo giorni nei pub irlandesi a mangiare hamburger, ed è stato un paradiso. Staff super gentile e cordiale e cibo di ottima qualità.

13/08/2025: Terra Madre is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the warm, intimate atmosphere makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a true Italian trattoria. The staff are all Italian, and their genuine hospitality shines through, adding to the authenticity of both the food and the experience. The homemade pasta is outstanding — the ravioli was delicate and flavorful, and the wild boar was perfectly prepared, rich, and satisfying. The wine list is thoughtfully curated, featuring selections from various regions of Italy, giving you a chance to explore the country’s diverse flavors right from your table. It’s a small restaurant, which makes it all the more special and personal. Every bite, every sip, and every interaction felt like a taste of Italy itself. If you’re looking for an authentic dining experience in Dublin, Terra Madre should be at the top of your list.

15/08/2025: Terrible place with very rude staff. Never coming back Update to the owners comment: No, I never threatened any staff with a bad review. Also, the toilets were not closed, the waitress said it was only for who was consuming food, even though we bought loads of pints there. Also, it was lashing outside so we were standing under the tent on the footpath and the waitress told us to leave, even though there were no customers consuming food there and we were having our pints. My friend was trying to talk to the waitress to say we were consuming and where were we supposed to go and the waitress said “go home then”. So Mr. Restaurant owner, kindly check the facts before replying to a review. You were not there and my friends and I felt extremely humiliated that day as that never happened to us before in any other place. Please be more human and allow people that are buying many pints in your establishment to also use the toilets and be under the tent in the footpath if it’s lashing out. We’re not animals

15/08/2025: A place where you feel at home, greeted with smiles, kindness, and excellent food! Contrary to what I read in a previous review, we had no issues with card payments, and for the owner's hospitality and attentiveness, a 10% tip would be the minimum! They truly deserve it. We'll definitely be back!

06/09/2025: Stylish Setting, But Value is Slipping Sparks Bistro is undeniably a beautiful place—inside, it's elegant and thoughtfully designed, creating an upscale atmosphere that really makes for a special evening out. However, I've noticed a shift over time: the portion sizes have gotten noticeably smaller, while prices have remained high, which makes the value feel less satisfying than it once was. It's tempting to go for the ambiance, but it feels like you're paying more for the décor than the meal. All that said, if you're after a visually impressive spot and don't mind spending a bit more, Sparks still delivers on atmosphere. Just be prepared for smaller servings that may not meet your expectations for the price.

23/08/2025: The food was amazing and great service

26/08/2025: Delicious and well presented food and friendly staff and a best service given by Elsa who's a great host . highly recommended it's a must✨

25/08/2025: This restaurant is well worth a visit. Food is delicious, prices are good and service is superb. I highly recommend this restaurant.

11/09/2025: The coffee was good and the service was great. However, these sandwich photos are old and they don't offer hot food in the morning. Unfortunately, it wasn't what I was looking for, but I loved the vibe.

08/09/2025: Hands down the best coffee shop in Galway. I live in Dublin but at the weekend if I’m in Galway I make it my business to stop by here. Great coffee and the staff are friendlier than any business I have ever seen. Cute pink cups as well, and selection of keep cups, hats and socks. Go here :)
