The best restaurantsof italian in Dublin

30/09/2025: Cant rate this place high enough. Came too late for lunch and too early for dinner but was still sat and served. Felt bad for coming at a weird time and having the place to ourselves but the owner told us not to worry, gave us reccoemdations, and was super friendly. Great place and definitely reccoemdned. But please make a reservation!

29/09/2025: Wonderful evening spent at this amazing restaurant. Celebrated my wife’s birthday with our daughter. Thoroughly enjoyed the food, wine, service and atmosphere. Would highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be returning .

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.

21/10/2025: Book ahead! Real deal delicious Neapolitan pizza and more. High quality ingredients done right. Helpful staff. Delicious cocktails especially spicy Irish Mule. Solo diner treated right!

20/10/2025: Excellent food that tastes delicious. Friendly and attentive service. Highly recommended! Reservations are usually recommended.

29/09/2025: Not too bad, true speakeasy vibes with secret password and entrance. Creepy back alley that leads you upstairs to a comfortable venue above. Downstairs is the restaurant and the more pub-like sister “speakeasy” (which is not hidden by any means and much louder). Red Elixir 3.5/5 Petite Dejuener 4/5 (better if warmed)

11/09/2025: “A mysterious little speakeasy, distinguished by its intricate and enigmatic entry system and whimsical décor. With exceptional drinks and remarkable music, it is an experience worthy of your research.”

21/09/2025: Amazing place. Super vibe. Absolutely delicious food. Friendly staff. Highly recommended. We had the chef’s menu and did not disappoint. It’s also loads of food for two people, no need to add anything else! The only thing I didn’t love was the salad, but everything else was a 10 out of 10.

20/09/2025: My partner and I celebrated our 6th anniversary at Host this Monday just gone and we were absolutely blown away by every aspect of the experience. Couldn't recommend the chef's menu enough. I used to be an extremely picky eater and it still lingers at times, but EVERYTHING on this menu was to die for. I'll be dreaming of burrata and peaches for years. I'd never really be one to order the steak either, but the striploin on the bone was absolutely stunning. We couldn't even finish the entire thing between us - they're really not playing around here. I firmly believe that no matter what we had ordered, we would have been dazzled. It was hands-down the best meal we've ever had. The cocktails and wine were beautiful and I may have stumbled out of the restaurant somewhat... but that's the sign of a good time. The atmosphere was fabulous: the lighting, temperature, noise level and seating arrangements were all perfect. It can take something really small to throw things off balance and make you slightly uncomfortable, but everything here was really well thought out. Last, but not least, the service was unmatched. We had the pleasure of being looked after by Hunter for the evening. She really struck that balance of highly experienced and naturally charismatic, and she made it look easy the entire time. Every time she stopped by to check in the conversation flowed naturally; she was both fun and knowledgeable. She also surprised us with an anniversary tiramisu, which I promptly dipped my white sleeve into. It was really sweet (sentimentally) and completely coma-inducing. Amazing stuff. Anyway, Google review drunkenly promised and soberly fulfilled. Thank you to all at Host for making it such a special night. Will recommend to anyone who will listen for a splash-out meal.

27/09/2025: We had incredible Italian pasta, the service was excellent, and the food was delicious, with the perfect amount. The place is beautifully decorated and cozy and quiet. Highly recommended!

21/09/2025: The food is on point! Delicious. Small venue and good food. Would recommend.

11/10/2025: I can’t recommend this place enough. I just had the BEST pasta I’ve ever had in my life. I had the porcini mushroom and truffle ravioli, it was to die for. My boyfriend had the gnocchi, also delicious. The wine and tiramisu were delightful. The atmosphere and ambiance was beautiful, it truly felt like we had found a hidden gem in rural Italy. And to top it all off, the service was excellent. The perfect date night. ❤️

30/09/2025: Delicious but really far away from an Italian restaurant

21/10/2025: I had dinner here on Saturday night with a friend and we were thrilled! The pizzas were phenomenal, some of the best I've ever had. We shared a spicy salami pizza and the pumpkin pizza of the month: both truly special. The cocktails were excellent and the prices were absolutely reasonable. The service was attentive, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. It was a simply wonderful evening! Thank you!

19/10/2025: Ordered margherita pizza, very tasty

06/10/2025: My 2nd visit here. Food was absolutely gorgeous yet again. We ordered the seabream fish fillet and Risotto. Garlic potatoes, green beans. Everything was unreal, especially the fish! I would order again!

05/10/2025: One of the best Pizzeria in Dublin. Great food, with also the Black Pinza Romana option. Very interesting flavours, high quality ingredients. You need to book in advance over the weekend.

26/09/2025: Left the Jamison whiskey tour was famished pizza smell good Italian this is where we ate. Great food. Nice service good people.

24/09/2025: Booked a table on our way home. There were menu options for everyone and the staff was friendly and made us feel right at home. Food was delicious and hot, we had a couple of pizzas and the crab and lobster ravioli.

03/10/2025: It’s very rare for me to be writing a review whilst sitting in the restaurant but this place is honestly incredible. The food, the service, the atmosphere!!! With live pasta making. Everything is perfect!

01/10/2025: The food was excellent and the service was attentive and professional. The atmosphere, however, was quite noisy, and our table in the middle of the restaurant had a lot of foot traffic, which was not ideal. Overall, a good experience. My personal rating: 4/5, though my fiancé enjoyed it even more.

26/10/2025: Our servant Ruben was one of the best we ever had. He asked for allergies and asked in the kitchen for all recipes. We had a very good time.

24/10/2025: this was by far one of the most unsatisfying dining experiences of my life. we shared one leggera pizza and cannelloni and were so disappointed! the cannelloni tasted bland and the pizza was dry and the „salad“ in the middle consisted of a few sad leaves of spinach. but the price was what really threw us off. we paid 40€ for this (didn’t even order drinks) and the portion sizes where suparb at best… never coming back because for this price they could have at least create a nice ambience but it felt like a cheap diner. the only good thing were our very friendly waiters. sadly they couldn’t make up for the fact that this was an utter disappointment:(

19/10/2025: The pasta carbonara is an absolute must!

19/10/2025: Make sure to book in advance, especially for weekend.Each pasta has its own unique texture and flavor, and everything we ordered was delicious. Prices are on the higher side, but it’s absolutely worth it. The best pasta I’ve had this year!!!

11/10/2025: Iced Cherry Matcha with Oat milk, Carrot Cake, chocolate chip cookie and an americano, all were 5 stars ! The service is great all the baristas are so friendly ! Best matcha in Galway

07/10/2025: Found this great little coffee shop just down the road from my hotel. I popped in and tried the apple chai latte… it was amazing! Friendly service, cozy atmosphere and I had a nice little chat with the owner on the patio. I’m going back tomorrow!

23/08/2025: The best authentic Italian restaurant for miles around. Fantastic food. Large portions. Reasonable prices. Wonderful atmosphere. Very nice and pleasant staff. If you are thinking about doing it. DO IT. The seafood pasta is over the moon.

21/08/2025: Beautiful location, ambiance and most importantly the food is delicious. Very generous servings, authentic Italian service. Great attention to details. Make sure you book and come hungry!
