26/08/2025: Well-made pasta, but ridiculously small portions, in contrast to the high price.

22/08/2025: The chefs menu was one of the best meals I have recently had in Dublin. Great service and the organic sparkling rosé was so special! Kudos to their sommelier who curated the wine list. Will be back as the soon as we can get another reservation ❤️

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.

25/08/2025: Top quality italian , amazing pizza and pasta , the service was superb , cant recomend this place enough. Great value for money 🇧🇷😋

22/08/2025: Pizza was great but maybe lacking a bit of imagination, for the price point and quality of the restaurant I would have expected a little more? I feel there is nicer more casual pizza spots that are cheaper,

08/09/2025: Great service and fold very good as usual

07/09/2025: We really enjoyed the food and great selection of wines. I would highly recommend

27/08/2025: We were served by Matheus, who was very friendly and efficient. He recommended some good pizzas. I recommend Milano, a temple bar in Dublin.

26/08/2025: Good food and very nice staff! Thank you!

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!

15/08/2025: Terrible place with very rude staff. Never coming back Update to the owners comment: No, I never threatened any staff with a bad review. Also, the toilets were not closed, the waitress said it was only for who was consuming food, even though we bought loads of pints there. Also, it was lashing outside so we were standing under the tent on the footpath and the waitress told us to leave, even though there were no customers consuming food there and we were having our pints. My friend was trying to talk to the waitress to say we were consuming and where were we supposed to go and the waitress said “go home then”. So Mr. Restaurant owner, kindly check the facts before replying to a review. You were not there and my friends and I felt extremely humiliated that day as that never happened to us before in any other place. Please be more human and allow people that are buying many pints in your establishment to also use the toilets and be under the tent in the footpath if it’s lashing out. We’re not animals

15/08/2025: A place where you feel at home, greeted with smiles, kindness, and excellent food! Contrary to what I read in a previous review, we had no issues with card payments, and for the owner's hospitality and attentiveness, a 10% tip would be the minimum! They truly deserve it. We'll definitely be back!

15/08/2025: Siamo stati a cena presso questo ristorante a ferragosto, dopo giorni nei pub irlandesi a mangiare hamburger, ed è stato un paradiso. Staff super gentile e cordiale e cibo di ottima qualità.

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.

06/09/2025: Stylish Setting, But Value is Slipping Sparks Bistro is undeniably a beautiful place—inside, it's elegant and thoughtfully designed, creating an upscale atmosphere that really makes for a special evening out. However, I've noticed a shift over time: the portion sizes have gotten noticeably smaller, while prices have remained high, which makes the value feel less satisfying than it once was. It's tempting to go for the ambiance, but it feels like you're paying more for the décor than the meal. All that said, if you're after a visually impressive spot and don't mind spending a bit more, Sparks still delivers on atmosphere. Just be prepared for smaller servings that may not meet your expectations for the price.

23/08/2025: The food was amazing and great service

26/08/2025: Delicious and well presented food and friendly staff and a best service given by Elsa who's a great host . highly recommended it's a must✨

25/08/2025: This restaurant is well worth a visit. Food is delicious, prices are good and service is superb. I highly recommend this restaurant.

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!
