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.

11/05/2026: Food was phenomenal, got the Caesar salad, garlic bread and the burrata pasta dish. All of that was amazing. Gave the food 4 stars because we ordered a cheesecake to go and got back to our hotel and for 14 € it was the worst cheesecake I’ve ever had. Service was good except at the end we had to wait quite a while for our check. Overall would recommend this place to someone looking for a good “Italian” dish here in Dublin.

11/05/2026: Lovely spot for a date night dinner and a couple drinks, Rashid and Afrodita were our servers and they were lovely. Very attentive and helpful

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

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.

25/04/2026: Great Italian dishes, shared menu. Have been a few times, service always excellent, food on first few visits excellent but unfortunately not as good on most recent visit which was disappointing. Hopefully a one off as previously ranked Host right up there

15/04/2026: The food was unbelievable, highly recommended the pappardelle beef shin ragu, it was really good. The steak was also perfect. Staff were excellent. Looking forward to going back :) Booking is definitely required.

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!

04/05/2026: The atmosphere was very pleasant, the food was delicious and in good portions, and the ice cream was very tasty.

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.

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.

06/05/2026: Amazing food and great atmosphere.

05/05/2026: Everything very good ❤️❤️ well done!

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.

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.

07/04/2026: Excellent service. Beautiful ambience and so close to the City centre. Loved being there and will visit again
