05/08/2025: Lovely food, the restaurant is run by the owner on his own so capacity is limited and it is advisable to book. It's an excellent addition to the area.

27/07/2025: Great pizza, delicious cocktails and a lovely restaurant. All staff were super nice and attentive and you wouldn’t judge by the service that the place was so full on the day of our visit (heatwave!), all great!

23/07/2025: Gran servicio, pizzas increíbles la base es deliciosa, regresó por segunda semana consecutiva, no puede faltar la comida o el servicio! Reserve con antelación cuando esté ocupado. Teníamos el Double Pepperoni y el Barry y el brownie de chocolate para terminar, este lugar es una joya!

21/07/2025: Delicious pizza, still thinking about it a week later

03/08/2025: Authentic and great quality food. Very professional and friendly service. Excellent way to top pff a great holiday. Grazie mile.

03/08/2025: We were there just yesterday and the experience was 10/10. The food, the atmosphere, the staff, everything was just amazing. The thing that made our dinner even better was our server Daniele and his friend in glasses and obviously the owner himself. They made sure everything was good about our visit, we talked, made some jokes, even took some photos together. They made us feel like we were part of this Italian family. The food on the other hand was the best we have had in a while. Big portions, delicious, nothing could beat that. We will definitely come back in the future. Cannot wait for that🥰🇮🇹

12/07/2025: FANTASTIC! I went for a casual weekday dinner with friends, and it was so lovely. The pasta is unreal, it felt very authentic. The atmosphere makes it so special. The owner sings and waiters play songs for everyone. It felt very warm and welcoming. Highly recommend it!

01/08/2025: So lucky to have this place as our local Italian. The food, wine, and service are all superb. Every bite was delicious. No wonder there’s a queue before it even opens at 5. Can’t wait to go back!

29/07/2025: Grano had been on my list forever with all the hype — and wow, it actually lives up to it. Best Italian I’ve had in Dublin, no question. Everything was so fresh and full of flavour. Totally worth the wait for a table. Can’t wait to go back!

04/08/2025: Had food and drinks, great experience would recommend

30/07/2025: Made reservations and got seated right away! The servers really know their cocktails and gave us great recommendations on what to try according to our taste. The cocktails were delicious and the food was great as well… the atmosphere was very chic and dimly lit, and not noisy at all for the small space.

06/08/2025: The burger was excellent and the service too, the waiters are attentive and very friendly. The restaurant is a little hidden but it's worth going there for a visit. Honestly a good experience 👍

26/07/2025: Very kind host, serving realt good quality food.

13/08/2025: Terra Madre is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the warm, intimate atmosphere makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a true Italian trattoria. The staff are all Italian, and their genuine hospitality shines through, adding to the authenticity of both the food and the experience. The homemade pasta is outstanding — the ravioli was delicate and flavorful, and the wild boar was perfectly prepared, rich, and satisfying. The wine list is thoughtfully curated, featuring selections from various regions of Italy, giving you a chance to explore the country’s diverse flavors right from your table. It’s a small restaurant, which makes it all the more special and personal. Every bite, every sip, and every interaction felt like a taste of Italy itself. If you’re looking for an authentic dining experience in Dublin, Terra Madre should be at the top of your list.

07/08/2025: The restaurant location is very central but underground. We sat outside near the stairs which was a bit weird considering people wait to enter the restaurant standing right next to you. The food was OK, but I will mention I'm vegetarian and maybe the non vegetarian dishes are better. I suggest ordering an indoors table for better atmosphere.

12/07/2025: Very disappointing experience. The staff were rude, and the service overall was poor — something that seems to be a common issue based on other reviews. The food was mediocre at best. If zero stars were an option, that’s what I’d give.

09/07/2025: The food was absolutely brilliant. Service was great and music was so good. Definitely one of the best Italian restaurants in Dublin.

05/08/2025: Was disappointed this time that our food was over cooked. The worst part though was that the wine menu was not clear that the price of the wine we were ordering (€39) was for a carafe. Our waiter confirmed that we’d like a bottle. When the bill came, we realised that the price of the bottle was €62!! We were horrified and our waiter remarked “oh yes a lot of people make that mistake”! But yet he did not make clear that we were understanding that at the time of ordering. Very unhappy with that, it spoiled the experience completely.

26/07/2025: A unique experience in Dublin sitting out the front at their beer garden with a sea view, well worth a visit!
