The best restaurantsof italian in Dublin

11/12/2025: Table was not ready for 15 minutes despite an online booking. The restaurant was very loud, with a food-making class happening right behind us. I got the salmon and it was fine but nothing to write home about and the portion was small. The service was excellent once we were seated.

11/12/2025: We had a corporate event and learnt how to make pizza. Everything from the organizing the event, to the actual event was superb. Great communication, and the host of the event was class. Thank you Pinocchio team!

25/10/2025: Probably the best Amatriciana I have had in quite some time!

06/09/2025: An absolute gem! Delicious authentic Italian food, friendly service. Well priced.

06/01/2026: Fantastic food, service, and quality. Highly recommended.

03/01/2026: So. After a day carrying bags for an (almost!) 17 year old, I had the good fortune to find myself staring at the menu outside Pacino’s door. Saying that I was hungry was an understatement. The bags I was laden with were beginning to look edible. Dublin on a Saturday, at 5 pm, I tried more out of hope than anything by asking the nice girl inside the door was there any chance of a table?!?!… and I truly don’t know what class of an angel was looking down at that moment (…possibly the one that looks after lost causes???) but she said YES!!! The place looked stunning, all still decked out in twinkly Christmas lights, and the menus are delightful, with something for everyone. We had a mix of starters, mains and pizzas, and one common theme throughout them all- they were all as equally exceptional as each other. The “Arancini Al Funghi” is to die for… delectably delightful balls of mushroom risotto, with a crispy coating and an arrabiata sauce- it s perfection. The pizzas are just how Nonna likes them… light and airy with just the right amount of topping, and the flavours from those toppings jump out. I had the Salami & Gorgonzola with oodles of smooth blue loveliness all over it. Pacino’s is definitely my new favourite Dublin eatery, the staff are friendly and helpful, and it just feels “right” if you know what I mean? The only downside is that I need to find an excuse to get back over again soon!!! Treat yourself, I know if Al is ever in town, he’ll stop by… 😉 17/10 for pizzaness… 😇

08/01/2026: There is no debate, this is the best pizza in town

03/01/2026: Absolute must eat in Dublin - especially late at night after a few pints of Guinness! The guys there were hilarious, and our margherita pizza was divine.

10/08/2025: My partner and I left vomiting all night and extreme stomach sickness after eating here, no manager to speak to, to help deal with this situation, was left speaking to the assistant manager who has no clue what she is doing and accused me of lying just to get my money back, told me to go get proof that im sick from the doctor, said her name was Monica just talked over me the whole time on the phone and acuused me of lying and was shouting at me the whole phonecall, absolutely horrible person, has no place in a customer service job, please dont eat in this dump unless you want to be sick and abused

19/06/2025: Food so good staff are so helpful and friendly

11/01/2026: I had a great experience at Angelina’s Restaurant in Dublin. I ordered the chicken sandwich, which was delicious — well seasoned, fresh, and perfectly cooked. The bread was soft and complemented the filling really well. For dessert, I had the cheesecake, and it was absolutely amazing: creamy, rich, and not overly sweet. The service truly made the experience even better. Haryel and Teresa were incredibly friendly, attentive, and professional, making us feel very welcome from start to finish. The atmosphere is lovely and relaxed, perfect for a casual meal or a special occasion. I would definitely come back and highly recommend it!

08/01/2026: Angelina’s had a bit of a mixed vibe for us. It was quite dark inside and not very quiet, and we ended up seated almost right in the middle, which made it feel a little busy. That said, the food was really good, and it definitely made up for the atmosphere. If you’re there mainly for the food, it’s well worth it.

03/01/2026: THE ABSOLUTE BEST PIZZA IN IRELAND.! I'VE EATEN PIZZAS IN NAPOLI, ROME, PISA AND THEY DO NOT COMPARE TO CARLO'S AT TOFFOLI.

14/12/2025: We like small ,cozy ,family running places. Friendly owner and staff , we had nice chat about origins of Bottega Toffoli . Pizza delicious. I and my family like to find restaurants/ pizzeria/different cuisines with a soul and Bottega Toffoli is one of them .

31/12/2025: Always fabulous food and service

16/11/2025: One of the best carbonaras I’ve ever had. The ragú was also incredible. Top quality ingredients and everything was super fresh. Great ambiance and service. Recommended 🙌🏼

12/01/2026: The best slice of pizza after visiting all the pubs. Great staff too!

10/01/2026: Best pizza slice place in Dublin I think!

10/01/2026: Excellent restaurant! Pleasant atmosphere, music not too loud, and impeccable service!

04/01/2026: We ordered two main dishes: gnocchi and chicken/pasta. Both entrees were obviously reheated since we received our food 5 minutes after placing order. Flavor was super bland and reminded me of something ordered from a kids menu. On top of the blah food, there were gnats diving bombing our plates. I shared this info with the waiter and he acknowledged that gnats have been an issue. WTH!?!

10/01/2026: Small but mighty, a must-visit if you're in Dublin! Delicious wines and great food! Ideal for couples.

30/12/2025: cozy vibe, delicious food with amazing service!

09/01/2026: The atmosphere was cozy, the waiter Ismael was incredibly friendly, noticed we were from Hamburg, Germany, and immediately spoke excellent German. The food was good.
