The best restaurantsof italian in Dublin

17/10/2026: they were straight up rude. if they decided they didn’t like you they would ignore you the entire time. terrible service, terrible vibe. just so high school and exclusive

15/10/2026: This was quite a unique experience and the drinks were fantastic. There were so so many to choose from and we both enjoyed ours.

12/10/2026: The pizza from Dublin Pizza Company was absolutely delicious, and the meal deal was an excellent value. Only thing was the dolce vita could use a bit better cutting; it was challenging to eat without making a mess. (But the mess was worth it.) Really appreciated how kind the lads in the shop were.

26/09/2026: Best late night food in Dublin and great staff.

11/10/2026: Both pizzas were thoroughly disappointing. Cold, flavourless dough, watery mushrooms and a chicken pizza with sparse toppings and bland pieces that reminded me of cheap supermarket chicken. Poorly executed, unappetising and utterly mediocre. I wouldn’t return.

10/10/2026: Amazing restaurant definitely recommend for date night/girls night food 10/10 recommend the flat bread start and the pasta aggie our waiter was absolutely fabulous so genuine the service was perfection at the table as soon as you needed anything ! What a woman fab resturaunt !

14/09/2026: Lovely wine bar away from the busy main stretch. Very nice wine!

06/09/2026: GO HERE! My GOD! I’m basically in Lyon, France right now. The wine list is absolutely incredible with something for everyone! Best wine list I’ve seen in Dublin and reasonably priced! Would 10/10 recommend. The tartare was perfect and the potatoes changed my life. They’re just a vehicle for caramelized onions and are perfect. I leave Dublin tomorrow and I’m so sad I found this place on my last day.

01/09/2026: Bad petrol station quality food -

12/08/2026: Lovely restaurant food and staff consistently good

18/09/2026: Very refreshing and tasty. Excellent service.

18/09/2026: Delicious gelato with lots of flavours to choose from without it feeling overwhelming. It was so good that I came back a couple of times during my long weekend in Dublin. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!

15/09/2026: The food was delicious. We ate at about 4pm so just walked in and got a table. But it is quite small so you might want to book if eating at a popular time

14/09/2026: Great early bird menu before 18:15 and nice staff would recommend :)

05/08/2026: If you wish to go to a restaurant with your family and have a pleasant evening DONT go here if you want to have a conversation amongst yourselves, goodness me the music blasted out and despite me asking them on 3 occasions to lower it down so we could actually hear each other they kept increasing it, we had to leave the restaurant and will never return.

12/07/2026: The best Italian food ever! The owners are incredibly nice and welcoming, and the portions are huge—even guys can get very full. It's really delicious! 😋

16/09/2026: The bolognese at Pinocchio’s was absolutely delicious! We’ve already eaten here twice in the space of four days—that’s how much we enjoyed it. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the sauce was incredibly tasty, and the whole meal was surprisingly light and easy to digest. The restaurant also has a lovely atmosphere. We may even return once more before heading home to Montreal! Without a doubt, the best bolognese pasta we’ve had to date.

16/09/2026: Fantastic Italian restaurant in Dublin. The pasta was perfectly al dente and the Bolognese was rich, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Easily one of the best Bolognese dishes I’ve had in a long time.

02/09/2026: I track calories, so I used an app to find this place. The coffee with its creamy foam fit my daily total and tasted great. The outdoor seating area is simple and quiet.

22/08/2026: Anna and Lorenzo are fantastic and so friendly! You have to stop by for a classic Italian aperitivo!

23/08/2026: Food delicious, waiters are very nice

19/08/2026: My daughter ordered the french toast, she couldnt eat it, bananas soggy and absolutley drenched in maple syrup, couldnt even lift it up because it was so soggy, wont be back

24/08/2026: carolina was our waiter, and had excellent service providing us with all our desired orders, fantastic service and even better food

24/08/2026: We had Carolina serving us- she was lovely and very accommodating! Great service

23/09/2026: Toscana Dun Laoghaire is exactly the place you want to come back to again and again! If you are looking for real, delicious Italian cuisine at a really high level, be sure to visit. Everything we ordered was prepared incredibly tasty, with a sense of authentic Italian traditions and attention to detail. I was very pleased with the atmosphere itself, warm, cozy and hospitable. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, they greet you like family, serve you quickly and sincerely. This restaurant in Dun Laoghaire is for everyone who loves quality food and good service! My recommendation 👌

20/09/2026: I had a really lovely experience at Toscana. The food was delicious, the staff were friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was great. The location is also beautiful, especially with the views over Dublin Bay. It’s a great place to enjoy good Italian food in Dún Laoghaire. I would definitely come back and recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

02/10/2026: Max the manager is very professional and runs the place like a swiss watch. Passionate about the food and kindly got us a taxi at the end of the night. Fabulous best restaurant in Dalkey

26/08/2026: We walked in yesterday evening around 8:30pm, in the rain. There was no line outside, and I could see four or five empty tables inside, but we were told they could not seat us without a reservation. It's a shame, since the restaurant appeared to have capacity that night. It might be worth clarifying this policy for walk-in guests, especially on quieter evenings. On the bright side, a local we met outside kindly recommended another restaurant just around the corner, where we ended up having a wonderful evening instead.

07/10/2026: An absolutely exceptional experience! From start to finish, everything was perfect. The food was delicious, beautifully prepared, and full of authentic Italian flavour. The service was outstanding — friendly, attentive, and professional. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and charming. A truly wonderful Italian restaurant in the heart of Temple Bar. Highly recommended! 🇮🇹❤️ I’ll definitely be coming back!

05/10/2026: Really enjoyed our lunch in Pinocchio. The staff were so welcoming & friendly & the food was delicious. The place was packed which is always a good sign!
