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: 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

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.

20/05/2026: Rudely turned away for not having a reservation. Go elsewhere.

12/05/2026: Gorgeous Italian food and vibe, all taken to a high standard. Lovely staff, 5/5.

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.

21/05/2026: My wife and I visited last night for a quick dinner before a concert. I'm so glad we booked! It's very busy and having visited, I can see why. There's nothing not to like. It's cosy, staff are lovely and the food was amazing. My wife had the Gambas pasta dish. Loads of prawns and cooked without chili as requested. I had a pizza from the specials board. Dessert was an amazing tiramisu which we couldn't finish. Given the quality of the food, we think it represents great value. We will certainly visit again, but I wish it was closer to home so we could visit often!

18/05/2026: We were bunch of hungry shouldy who has landed in Dublin and for the love of good food came in to Paulies Oh boy it truly lives up to its expectations. The vegetarian pizzas were savored more at our table for the freshness of the ingredients and the taste. The starters were great too and the tiramisu at the end was a treat. The service was great and the hosts were very gentle and helpful. All in all it was great experience

14/05/2026: Incredibly good gnocchi and tortelini Nice staff, cozy place, but they didn't have beer

13/05/2026: Only thing I didn't totally love, is it's a very small restaurant, so I felt like I was sitting on the person next to me (not at my table). Food was authentic and delicious. Staff was friendly and it had that family owned vibe which is my favorite!

06/05/2026: Great spot for dinner- enjoyed a lovely three courses of mussels, Cesar salad, and ravioli. Nice selection of wine and friendly staff. Check this place out!

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

05/05/2026: Great place, great staff, great food. I would recommend this place without hesitation. Thank you for everything!

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

14/05/2026: came to celebrate my wedding anniversary, and what was meant to be a memorable night ended up being incredibly disappointing to say the least. the food was average at best, and the service… the service was nothing short of terrible. we spent most of the evening waiting for someone to attend us and when the server finally took notice in us they were ridiculously rude and standoffish. never coming back.

12/05/2026: Served by Marcella.She is really kind, introducing food, always smiling! We got wonderful service! Thank you!

21/05/2026: Went for a delicious meal before a show in the gaiety. It's such a lovely restaurant, staff are second to none. Service was prompt but not rushed. Would definitely recommend 👌

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

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

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.

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.

12/04/2026: We had such a wonderful experience at this place! The pizza was absolutely delicious—perfectly cooked with fresh ingredients and amazing flavor in every bite. You can really tell they care about what they serve. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, making us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. Their friendly attitude and attentive service added so much to the overall experience. The atmosphere was also lovely, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal with friends or family. Everything was just spot on. We’ll definitely be coming back again. Highly recommended to anyone who loves great pizza and excellent service!

08/02/2026: I have never finished a pizza before.. ever..before tonight ! The pizza here is incredible! Freshly cooked with authentic toppings, no chain restaurant crap here. Options of 10 inch (I had) or 12 inch which Would be sharing. A very basic restaurant with a very special vibe , it’s like sitting in your granny’s 💗 basic menu but food cooked fresh and to perfection .. original paintings from his daughter adorn the walls … we will be back!

21/05/2026: My wife liked the truffle pizza, my daughter liked the pizza but didn't like having to cut it herself, they need to buy a pizza slicer. My ragu was ok.

20/05/2026: Beatriz was fabulous. She served our group of 7 with grace and a smile. The food was excellent - I highly recommend the fettuccini and pink margaritas!
