The best restaurantsof italian in Dublin

05/04/2026: Authentic Italian food! Pastas, risottos, delicious! Good portion sizes as well! I was too hungry - ate two mains! Atmosphere is calm/relaxed, with quiet Italian music playing in the background! It’s a place for people to connect and communicate! Highly recommend for people looking for authentic Italian food!

05/04/2026: ​I recently had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful restaurant, and it was easily the highlight of my trip to Dublin. ​From the moment I arrived, I was made to feel incredibly welcome. The owner, who is also the chef, is absolutely sensational! His passion for his craft is evident, and he is one of the kindest and most personable hosts I have ever met. It’s rare to find such a warm, authentic connection in a restaurant these days. ​As for the food, it was truly exceptional, honestly the best Italian meal I have ever had. Every dish was prepared to perfection, bursting with authentic flavors and high-quality ingredients. ​If you are in Dublin and looking for a dining experience that combines world-class food with genuine, friendly service, I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

11/04/2026: We had a lovely experience at the restaurant. The food was amazing. Rachid and Patrick took great care of us throughout the evening. Would definitely recommend.

11/04/2026: Food and atmosphere didn’t match other strong positive reviews. Servers were working hard but I’d describe the pizza as edible at best.

21/04/2026: Great food service and place, thanks Roberto for the amazing Tartufata

18/04/2026: A treat to discover a genuine gem of an Italian restaurant in Dublin city centre. Very authentic Italy from the service to the attention to detail with the ingredients. Will definitely come back

17/03/2026: The best in Dublin. Don't miss the ribeye.

10/03/2026: Worth the hype! Get in if you can

20/04/2026: Amazing service, Sandra and Dani were so kind and help with everything. I'm coeliac and they were so knowledgeable about allergies and gave me the best recommendation. Food was super tasty too!

19/04/2026: Small place, felt a bit too tight. But, great pizza.

04/04/2026: Ordered the Braised Beef Ragu Pappardelle via Uber Eats, delivery arrived hot and fast, which was great. The pasta was al dente with flavorful sauce, but the portion felt way too small for € 20.75; it was more like a starter than a main, leaving me hungry, which didn’t match the value. Solid flavors otherwise! Bump up the beef and portion next time! I REALLY hope the portion ratio is better in the restaurant.

01/04/2026: Gorgeous chilled atmosphere. Staff are friendly and helpful, offering advice when asked. Pizza's were delicious, so light and full of flavour! We will definitely be back.

07/03/2026: A wonderful time at Terra Madre! The food was excellent, the pasta was delicious, and the tiramisu was incredible. As a French woman who has traveled to Italy, I can confidently say that you'll be in for a treat!

25/02/2026: Excellent service! The food was delicious!

01/04/2026: Food was absolutely delicious I couldn't fault it honestly, really lovely little place! Seabass was so good😊

01/04/2026: Great spot. Lovely food. Quick lunchtime service

03/02/2026: Centrally located and perfect for celiacs. Their gluten-free menu is extensive and safe: crispy pizzas and delicious pasta that's just as good as regular pasta. The staff is very careful to prevent cross-contamination. A great find!

03/02/2026: Amazing staff, great food!!! Liked a lot! Special thanks to Luke😍

12/04/2026: Amazing ambience and great food. Loved this place and Marcella is amazing. Lovely service

12/04/2026: Cool location. But yesterday evening I asked to the young barman at the main bar on the ground floor if he could please change the cocktail as it was not what I ordered and he just keep serving other people. I understand the music is loud and there can be misunderstanding but if the order is not right, that is barman mistake and I should be still getting what I asked.

06/12/2025: Excellent range of coffees including complex filter coffees. Quiet and secluded. Hard to not be tempted by their delicious cakes and buns. Warm friendly service. Wish it was bigger but that’s part of the appeal too. My fav coffee shop on Galway bar none.

28/11/2025: These guys know what they’re doing. Excellent latte that had no need for sugar or syrup. I even picked up a bag of the same beans used in their espresso. My wife tried their ube matcha and it was also delightful.

17/04/2026: Amazing food as always, the best Italian I have had outside of Italy! Dennis our waiter was absolutely fantastic and made our night 🤏🏼🇮🇹

17/04/2026: Denis the waiter is extremely attentive and so good, best Italian in Dublin

19/04/2026: Updating to add that I visited again and it was still just as incredible! The food is so delicious, I’ll be thinking about it all week. It was ready pretty quickly too. Great cocktails also. Only note is that the service was a little slow, we had to flag the staff down for most things. Nov 2024: Absolutely incredible, one of the best italian restaurants i have visited. Food was fantastic. Can’t wait to come back!!!

18/04/2026: The food was good, but the service was disappointing. We had made a reservation in person the day before, and upon arrival, no one seemed to know about the reservation, and they even changed our table during service. The bathroom was in terrible condition.

09/04/2026: We had pasta and risotto which was amazing. Nice and tidy place ,staff really friendly ,really helpful if you need explanation for some of the dishes. They are open to make changes for your meal that you get exactly what you like. Definitely we coming back!

16/03/2026: Riccardo and his team hosted my father's 80th birthday. The team was amazing with the party planning, menus etc. We are so glad that we picked Bellagio for my father's 80th and family reunion (my father having grown up in Terenure). We could not have hoped for a better place to celebrate than at Bellagio. The food and everything was exceptional, the pasta, pizza, tiramisu a delight. The restaurant was clearly well liked as it was busy and had a lovely atmosphere. Bellagio was also spotlessly clean.

19/04/2026: Do not go here unless you watch your money extremely carefully. After 18 of us paid over the amount for our bill, we were told we were short. Some paid by card, some cash. We all checked and totted up what we had paid, which was nearly €100 OVER the total amount including the 12.5% service charge. The waiter insisted we had not paid enough. After asking for the manager the waiter miraculously “found” some of the missing money. It still wasn’t the amount of cash we’d actually handed over though. Not a single apology. How many other people is he doing this with?! Absolutely disgusting and totally spoiled our final evening.

19/04/2026: Be extremely vigilant when eating here. 19 of us went for food tonight. The service was sadly very slow, meaning we ended up spending over 3hrs there. Then it came to the bill. We split it between us AND we all paid a bit additional on top of the service charge. The waiter then proceeds to tell us we’re over €100’s short, which we obviously knew was not correct. He then spent approx 30mins repeatedly adding up the totals of the receipts from card payments and physical cash we had paid. We stood our ground and he proceeded to call the manager over. After more wasted time discussing it, we then asked for the service charge back as we knew we had overpaid and were not willing to pay anymore. Then by some miracle….low and behold, the waiter miraculously remembers he has a wad of OUR cash in his apron pocket that he had apparently forgot about. Unfortunately, we all felt he was going to pocket that money for himself and try get more out of us. The waiter also swore at us when we were questioning him and it sadly took longer than we’d hoped to receive an apology from the manager and said waiter. I rarely leave bad reviews but in this case, I would be wary eating here.
