The best restaurantsof italian in Dublin

05/01/2026: Interesting little restaurant, it's all run by one guy solo. Book via WhatsApp. Delicious carbonara which I've found really hard to find in Dublin. Ragu and tiramisu also top notch. Very good value for money, I'd say he could easily up by prices by a few Euro a dish and it would still be good value. I'll be back to try the risotto next time.

05/01/2026: If you want to eat homemade Italian food made with love and care this is a place to go ❤️🇮🇹🍝✨

10/01/2026: Dawid and Dina were Fantastic , they were friendly and made our experience lovely

09/01/2026: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Food: Wonderful Atmosphere: Wonderful Service: Wonderful “A truly amazing experience at La Caverna! The food is delicious, very well prepared and full of flavor. The atmosphere is cozy and beautiful, perfect for enjoying a relaxed meal. The service was outstanding — *Dima and David* were wonderful, extremely attentive, friendly, and professional. They made us feel very welcome from start to finish. Highly recommended, and I will definitely be back!

15/12/2025: Food is excellent but the place is too noisy.

09/12/2025: A fantastic restaurant. Staff are so friendly and efficient. Excellent service, pizzas delicious and the moretti was so so good. I'll advise you to make a reservation.

20/12/2025: This is our fourth or fifth visit. Excellent food and service as always. Would recommend and will visit again in the new year

20/12/2025: I really love this place. Service is excellent and environment is spectacular. I just have good words for them. I cannot say no to come back again.

23/12/2025: Nice decor, we sat at the high chairs but there are couches and window seats too. Solid wine list and friendly, attentive service with no feeling of being rushed. Playlist was okay; I mean, Glue by Bicep is undoubtedly an all time classic but not sure it's really dinner music. Tostadas were brilliant. Pork chop was truly, truly, awesome.

18/12/2025: I had the shared menu at Host Restaurant. Got absolutely delighted with the pappardelle ragu, Hannan’s salt-aged rib eye absolutely delicious and well made! Pumpkin cappellacci, walnut & sage is an explosion of flavours. I don’t know how, but I’ll try to reproduce it at home, and the burnt ricotta cheesecake just made me feel speechless! It was such a good time that I had there with my bf to celebrate my bday! Can’t wait to go back!

06/01/2026: We were a bit late to reserve a table, but we ordered 2 very tasty stone oven Neapolitan pizza’s (Capricciosa and Margherita) for takeaway! It was perfectly on time. Both the toppings and the dough was divine! It was rich and thin. The price was very reasonable as well. Yummy!

04/01/2026: Disappointed with the 10€ tiramissu but the rest was good :)

14/01/2026: The cocktails here were some of the best I have tasted! The whole experience was really fun and unique

26/12/2025: Great cocktails! Quite bad service (consistently bad across all 4 people that attended us). Since the moment we arrived they reminded us that we had only less than 1h30.. I was joking that we send more time being reminded about the time left than enjoying our drinks 😢. Chery on the cake they give the bill 20 mins before the end of our slot.

30/11/2025: Great night and food for our group

30/11/2025: Food fine but portions were tiny. Service slow. Staff pleasant

08/01/2026: For me personally a hidden local perl with amazing authentic Italian food and great service! Was a bit cold, and rough interior but fitting the experience and the food quality compensates everything the location might not provides.

05/01/2026: Food was incredible, really small menu but everything was perfect. We were the first ones in there on a Monday, 2 adults a toddler and a baby. They made my young daughter pasta with butter and cheese, whilst me and my husband had a gorgeous dinner and a bottle of wine. It’s not set up for children being a small place but they made us feel incredibly welcome and the food was very worth it. An absolute must visit in Dublin for me. 10/10

29/12/2025: Very good restaurant, warm welcome

12/12/2025: Loved the whole place. Food was brilliant

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.

04/01/2026: It's a disgrace. After crossing the city to have dinner at this place, when we arrived they told us they were closing and that they were very sorry. I told them that I had made a reservation for 10 pm on their website and that I had the confirmation, I showed it to them and they said okay, but that they close at 10 pm and cannot serve us.

01/01/2026: Came in for a meal for NYE. Booked in advance for the meal at 8. Big group so we assumed we would have the table for at least two hours. No where in the booking does it mention we had to leave at 9 and on arrival we were told we had to leave at 9. We were rushed by the staff to order and eat our food and then taking plates while people were still eating. The atmosphere was not pleasant due to the staff trying to rush us all and get us out the door. If you don’t want to have a big booking on NYE don’t accept or make it very clear what time we will need to leave at before hand. Wouldn’t recommend.

10/12/2025: I’ve always been a fan of calamari as an appetizer, and I was disappointed when I saw the plate that arrived. However, to my surprise, it turned out to be flavorful and slightly crispy, unlike what I had expected. The pasta was also delicious, with a great texture. I wish they had more pasta options, as there were only three available.

08/12/2025: We booked a table for two the day before, and let them know we'd be 20 minutes late due to a setback. No problem. We were seated and served very quickly. The pizza was good and the price was fair. Definitely an excellent choice.

24/12/2025: Not great, the size of the pizzas doesn't match the price, the service was nothing special, in short...next...

23/12/2025: Amazing restaurant, Matheus is a super lovely guy and had our food out as quick as a roadrunner. I would definitely recommend the place. Lots of love

23/11/2025: Have been frequenting this restaurant since it opened. Fantastic as always. Super food and fabulous hospitality. Highly recommend a visit.

01/11/2025: From an Italian, best Italian in Ireland. Service amazing. Thanks guys
