The best restaurantsof italian in Dublin

16/03/2026: Riccardo and his team hosted my father's 80th birthday. The team was amazing with the party planning, menus etc. We are so glad that we picked Bellagio for my father's 80th and family reunion (my father having grown up in Terenure). We could not have hoped for a better place to celebrate than at Bellagio. The food and everything was exceptional, the pasta, pizza, tiramisu a delight. The restaurant was clearly well liked as it was busy and had a lovely atmosphere. Bellagio was also spotlessly clean.

05/01/2026: Staff are incredibly vivacious and attentive. Food amazing.

28/02/2026: Great authentic italian food, cozy, and the staff were great.

28/02/2026: Amazing and AUTHENTIC italian food and ambiance, got so nostalgic from rome while being in this place. Giuseppe, Miguel y Jose were absolutely amazing. Had the pleasure of meeting the chef Klaudio and you can tell by the taste of the food how much passion is out into this place. Can’t miss it.

23/02/2026: Reviewing based on both visits to this venue. The first one (in 2024) was fab with a true speakeasy vibe and some lovely cocktails. However, I was turned away this evening from my booking which I had rearranged for an earlier time (40mins early) due to a change in our dinner reservation. This was agreed with the venue but we were turned away when we arrived (after organising our trip back to suit the last minute changes). It was a shame we didn't get to drink here again and felt let down by the comms not landing for us to be seated and had no choice but to cancel rather than wait. We would perhaps go back next time we visit Dublin due to the venue.

20/02/2026: I would love to come and review this place incredibly highly but unfortunately I cannot. The initial experience and communication before booking was extremely helpful and left me very excited and hopeful, however the real life experience was more than disappointing. Walking in was so much fun and I was ready for a fun encounter. The minute we sat down our waitress was instantly rude and cold. Giving dirty looks to us, those looks could not be misconstrued. I gave the benefit of the doubt however the rest of my table continued to notice considerable rudeness. My boyfriend was almost cross examined about his drink choice by the same server. Furthermore when we asked for water another from our table was met with a finger in the face and general attitude. This trip was specifically for a surprise for our boyfriend’s joint birthday and there was pre warning to this, there was no recognition to this, or even a simple happy birthday. We spoke to another member of staff about our experience and she was beyond kind, beyond attentive. I just wish she was our waitress for the whole experience. I would like to preface this by saying I appreciate you cannot be on your A game all the time, but it does take more energy to be that UNKIND to people than it does to make general pleasantries.

23/03/2026: Bro the pizza doesn’t look or taste like a pizza its far from pizza honestly just remove your deal and make a nice and good pizza 🍕

16/03/2026: The 9 inch pizza deal is a steal, amazing value. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, with a special mention to Maia.

10/03/2026: Visited Milano recently on a work travel trip. Food was affordable and nice, exactly what I was after. Service was excellent, with particular thanks to the waiter Alvin for his warmth, friendliness and professionalism. Would recommend!

10/03/2026: The food was great, and the waiter was really kind, will go again.

15/03/2026: Really enjoyed a very nice evening here. Staff were friendly and food was very tasty. Would have loved a slightly larger main course otherwise everything was bang on.

07/03/2026: We didn't have food so I can't comment on that but the food I saw looked excellent. The cocktails we had were probably the best we've ever had, really really nice. The staff are excellent and very friendly. The place itself is absolutely tiny and, for us, kind of uncomfortable ......... unless you whisper everyone can hear everything you're saying. It's fine for a cocktail or two but I wouldn't spend my night here, it's just too quiet and small.

11/03/2026: Although the blueberry pancakes are delicious, I'm not sure they're worth the price. Almost $18.

10/03/2026: Popped in for breakfast on Sunday. The food was very nice.

08/02/2026: I have never finished a pizza before.. ever..before tonight ! The pizza here is incredible! Freshly cooked with authentic toppings, no chain restaurant crap here. Options of 10 inch (I had) or 12 inch which Would be sharing. A very basic restaurant with a very special vibe , it’s like sitting in your granny’s 💗 basic menu but food cooked fresh and to perfection .. original paintings from his daughter adorn the walls … we will be back!

06/02/2026: Great place to eat pasta and pizza, Impressed the best pizza I've ever eaten, just the dough and the ingredients very homemade. The pasta is simple and tasty. Spectacular salad. Authentic place without pretensions. We will be back

14/09/2025: Service was appalling, was trying to order a drink was asked to move certain area so I did. Then proceeded to get ignored by the bar staff who asked me to move in so I asked why, again because I was “not in the que” even though there was no designated Que here sign. Didn’t get name but very distinct staff member, Round glasses and mullet working upstairs by the smoking area absolutely awful service. All could have been avoided by better communication.

13/09/2025: Great sevice lovely food unreal cocktails and great vibes

08/03/2026: This place is amazing and has great prices and ice cream, there is a big variety throuout all locations <3

16/01/2026: Staff was great. They were very polite and I would recommend gino’s to my friends

25/02/2026: Everything is incredible. It is on par with some of the best Italian food in the world. (Seriously!) Total bill for 3 courses and 2 glasses of wine was €100. We ordered Nduja and Arancini starters, Balanzoni and Beef Ragu for mains and Tirimasu and Cannoli Dough for dessert. Highly recommend everything we ate. Thank you Grano, we rebooked to come back as soon as possible!

21/02/2026: Dinner at Grano confirms the solidity of a restaurant that, despite its small size, manages to express a clear and coherent gastronomic signature. The place is intimate, with just a few well-spaced tables: a detail that contributes to the intimate experience but makes reservations well in advance essential. Demand is high, and understandably so. The ambiance is simple yet refined, with a casual elegance that leaves room for the true protagonist: the dish. The two of us chose different yet complementary dishes. The amatriciana stood out for its rigorous execution: lively, yet not overpowering, tomatoes, well-browned pork cheek, savory but not overpowering, and a creamy sauce that binds the dish together without weighing it down. The pasta, cooked with precision, balanced the sauce, offering an interpretation faithful to tradition but not overly didactic. The spinach ravioli my companion chose displayed a more delicate yet equally focused tone: thin pastry, a filling well-balanced between vegetal and creamy lactic acid, and a buttery finish that was never cloying. Two dishes with distinct character, both executed with technical attention and respect for the ingredients. A well-structured Chianti, chosen with the support of a competent and never intrusive dining room staff, accompanied the meal. The wine paired naturally with the amatriciana, enhancing its flavor, but also proved harmonious with the ravioli, a sign of a thoughtful and coherent wine selection. A small mix-up in the kitchen resulted in a longer-than-expected wait. The management of the unexpected event, however, deserves mention: transparent communication, professional attitude, and, at the end, a tiramisu offered as a gesture of thoughtfulness. Not simply a gift, but a sign of care toward the guest. The dessert, moreover, was excellent: airy cream, a balance of coffee and cocoa, and a firm but not heavy texture. Grano thus demonstrates a maturity that goes beyond fine dining. Not only well-executed dishes, but also the ability to master the overall experience, including unexpected events. In a competitive city like Dublin, this combination of culinary quality, intimate setting, and attentive service explains the numerous excellent ratings. A successful dinner for two, with personality and restraint.

18/03/2026: I had a wonderful experience thanks to Hazal, who was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit. Her warm and friendly behavior truly stood out and made us feel valued as customers, and on a special occasion like St. Patrick’s Day, her positivity made our experience even more memorable and enjoyable. Thank you, Hazal, for making our day better!

18/02/2026: I bought an ice cream and a crep, I found 2 tiny hair in it 🤢🤢 and also the crep got me sick all day.

09/03/2026: Excellent restaurant; I had the carbonara, which was truly delicious, and the tiramisu was the best I've ever eaten. The staff was a 10/10, incredibly friendly and attentive.

21/02/2026: The food was excellent: pizza, pasta, salads... They speak several languages ​​and are very attentive to customer service. A perfect 10! Thank you so much!

22/03/2026: The food is exquisite. Great value for money. The staff are very friendly and served us very quickly. We loved the music, the decor, and the atmosphere. Highly recommended. I especially loved the pasta.

07/03/2026: Loved it. Service was impeccable, food was delicious. Loved the decor and lovely quaint vibes. Fantastic date location that's fairly easy on the wallet.

10/03/2026: The ambiance is very decent and porsh looking , the waiter was very nice to us . We went for a dinner date . The cocktails are mostly the best , the starters were very scrumptious. Overall loved the place , very good for date night recommendation

08/03/2026: We come here always when we are here visiting for the rugby. I wanted to show off to my Irish friends how when you are not in Italy that you can have a wonderful pizza! It didn't work! We arrived, sat down & were told that there is no more pizza here. We were hungry so we stayed & had a very good dinner, but now also much more expensive menu. I don't know other than what the waiter told us, but in all our opinion, this is probably a mistake. Julio (from Milano)
