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.

11/04/2026: We had a lovely experience at the restaurant. The food was amazing. Rachid and Patrick took great care of us throughout the evening. Would definitely recommend.

11/04/2026: Food and atmosphere didn’t match other strong positive reviews. Servers were working hard but I’d describe the pizza as edible at best.

20/03/2026: This is my third time in virtuoso and everything is excellent, a hide gem in Dublin !! Highly recommend the pasta with truffles, or the mortadela and pistachio pizza or the veal ragu !!

07/02/2026: "You have 15 min left so you can't have a dessert and we won't give you the menu" 🤡

06/02/2026: Went here a while back, Amazing pizza, amazing deserts and wonderful staff!

04/04/2026: Ordered the Braised Beef Ragu Pappardelle via Uber Eats, delivery arrived hot and fast, which was great. The pasta was al dente with flavorful sauce, but the portion felt way too small for € 20.75; it was more like a starter than a main, leaving me hungry, which didn’t match the value. Solid flavors otherwise! Bump up the beef and portion next time! I REALLY hope the portion ratio is better in the restaurant.

01/04/2026: Gorgeous chilled atmosphere. Staff are friendly and helpful, offering advice when asked. Pizza's were delicious, so light and full of flavour! We will definitely be back.

07/03/2026: A wonderful time at Terra Madre! The food was excellent, the pasta was delicious, and the tiramisu was incredible. As a French woman who has traveled to Italy, I can confidently say that you'll be in for a treat!

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

12/04/2026: Cool location. But yesterday evening I asked to the young barman at the main bar on the ground floor if he could please change the cocktail as it was not what I ordered and he just keep serving other people. I understand the music is loud and there can be misunderstanding but if the order is not right, that is barman mistake and I should be still getting what I asked.

12/04/2026: Amazing ambience and great food. Loved this place and Marcella is amazing. Lovely service

09/03/2026: Had an early dinner here. Place was packed and it’s huge! We had the bread with olive oil and the tagliatelle al ragu with an insalata mista.

05/03/2026: As we were making our way to Trinity College, a pair of locals helped us with directions, and we mentioned our love of coffee. The pair immediately said we had to go to Dunne & Crescenzi around the corner. Although certainly not a coffee shop, we were blown away by the incredibly friendly staff and amazing antipasta selection. In addition, the latte we had was so beautifully crafted and delicious! I also had a glass of wine and the server was happy to help me select from their vast array of options. Definitely worth going for any occasion.

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.

27/03/2026: Amanda served us; she was very pleasant and kind. We will be back.

27/03/2026: Matheus is very friendly and professional.
