The best restaurantsof italian in Dublin

13/08/2026: Had an amazing experience at La Caverna! Great food and our servers Dima and Billy were terrific

13/08/2026: I had one of the best vegan meals that I have ever had before! It was a great experience, as my boyfriend is not vegan, it’s usually hard for us to find good restaurant options that suit us both. So we really enjoyed our dinner and had an amazing time. Patrick and Kris gave us a great service, very professional and friendly!

05/09/2026: I’m a Japanese student currently studying abroad in Ireland, and I came across this restaurant while looking for somewhere to eat. I’m really glad I decided to come in. This place is wonderful. First of all, the Italian owner was incredibly kind and welcoming. The service was excellent, and I didn’t feel uncomfortable at all. In fact, I felt very comfortable throughout my visit. As for the food, I ordered the carbonara, and it was absolutely delicious. Honestly, without exaggerating or trying to be polite, it was the best spaghetti I have ever had in my life. The portion was also very generous, so I think students with a big appetite would be more than satisfied. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great Italian food in Dublin. I’m very happy that I found this place!

05/09/2026: Owner chef server.. singlean operation. Excellent food, somewhat limitedenu but if they have what you want then who needs a 50 page menu?

13/08/2026: A really special but really cozy spot, tucked half below street level so you watch the legs of passersby drift past the windows while you eat. Classic Italian cooking done really well, the food was great, and the service and atmosphere matched it

05/08/2026: Great atmosphere and food, friendly attentive owner

05/09/2026: What an amazing food place worker Martinai was lovely!

05/09/2026: So so delicious! Best around! Thanks Martina

02/09/2026: Exceptional meal. Top class service. Lovely setting. Couldn’t recommend it more!

11/08/2026: The food is outstanding and the service is good. The beef steak was very tasty and significantly better than in other grill restaurants. The prices are relatively high. The only thing we didn't particularly like was the salad. The tiramisu was the best I've had in Dublin. The atmosphere is very lively and the restaurant was packed in the evening. It's a shame that three people can only sit on high stools.

30/07/2026: The coffee is really good, nice and strong, even the decaf. Staff very nice too.

21/07/2026: The most delicious coffee in my life, which I have ever tried in coffee shops and various cafes.

22/08/2026: Typical Italian cuisine, delicious dishes, friendly, attentive staff, excellent service. A way to feel at home even if you're only in Dublin for a few days. We had a great experience, and when we return to Dublin, we'd love to come back. Highly recommended! See you soon.

21/08/2026: Even though we arrived right on time for the restaurant's opening hours, they served us quickly and were very friendly, and the food was delicious.

13/09/2026: The pizza taste was ordinary, nothing too bad or too good, the same as ceasar salad, but carbonara pasta was a small portion and extreeemely salty 😵‍💫🧂

12/09/2026: The best place for a drink and dance & not the mention the queen of security love her

05/09/2026: Fantastic place, friendly, super quality food in the center of Dublin

24/08/2026: Best Pizza I Have Had in Dublin. This is like eating in your Nona’s kitchen. Elaine and Carlo run an amazing little gem here. Elaine is in the front of house, while Carlo turns out some of the best food you will taste. Everything is home made, and I mean EVERYTHING!!! The antipasto is unctuous, and their pizza was amazing. Super thin crust, so you don’t feel bloated after eating one. I also recommend the hot oil they have. The home made pasta is Devine. Simple food, fresh ingredients, brilliantly made, and served with genuine passion. Bravo. We will be back again and again and again.

12/09/2026: Fantastic experience, the pizza was delicious. Thanks, Johnny.

12/09/2026: We had a wonderful experience at Cirillo’s! The pizza was absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked and full of flavour. A special mention to Johnny, the pizzaiolo, who clearly puts a lot of passion and skill into his pizzas, absolutely fantastic! 🍕 Our lovely waitress Erica was also amazing. She was friendly, attentive and made us feel very welcome throughout the whole luch. Excellent service with a lovely atmosphere. Thank you Johnny and Erica for making our visit so enjoyable! We will definitely be back. ❤️

06/09/2026: Relaxing, leisurely late afternoon meal on the busiest of days for the area. Mouthwatering food & excellent wine & Sicilian beers. Bellissimo !

06/09/2026: First time, definitely not the last. Perfection.

29/08/2026: friendly staff . And the best ice-cream in the world. The vespa scooter stools are cool. If your in liffey valley shopping centre. You have to visit

22/08/2026: Really nice fresh icecream for a fair price. Workers were very nice and offered me samples to if i was sure what i wanted. I chose the rocher and the kinder bueno they were extremly nice.

20/09/2026: The pizza was amazing, the best I had while in Dublin. Great flavor and cooked to perfection with a bit of charring. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

16/09/2026: The food and the atmosphere were quite good. However, it seems there is a lack of a welcoming atmosphere toward a single customer. I’m generally a fast eater, so I appreciated being able to receive the table and food without a reservation. But they didn’t come to ask me how the food was, as they had done with the guests at the other table, and they seemed to be waiting for me to eat quickly and leave. And as soon as I finished eating, the waiter picked up the empty plate too quickly and put the bill down for me, which felt a little cold to me because they didn’t do that to other customers. And it felt a little funny that I had to choose the tip option when I needed to make a payment. Haha…And when I left, no one said goodbye or thanked me. I understand how difficult it is to run a busy and popular food and beverage business, but I did not feel welcomed; rather, I felt as if I was being kicked out.

21/09/2026: A real gem in the Dublin scenery. Service was effective, not pushy. Wine List is extensive and a real surprise for wine lovers. The food was real authentic Italian, very tasty. I can only recommend the restaurant if you visit Dublin.

18/09/2026: Lovely food and ambience, would recommend
