The best restaurantsof italian in Dublin

08/08/2026: it‘s not there anymore; there is an Asian Restaurant instead. Be Careful!

28/06/2026: Food was good, service was better. Enjoyed taking a break from pub food and enjoying the tastes of Italy. People say the prices are high, but everything is high in Dublin.

18/09/2026: Lovely service! The slow cooked rib with mash is to die for.

17/09/2026: Lovely atmosphere with good service but inconsistent with some amazing food and some tasteless. My tagliatelle bolognese was so so good. There was tons of flavour, everything was cooked really well and I was really happy with my choice. Unfortunately my latte was undercooked and sour which was disappointing given it is an Italian restaurant. My partner ordered the carbonara and while the meat was delicious, the rest of the dish was disappointing. The sauce had a nice creamy texture but somehow lacked any flavour whatsoever. Seems odd how different the two dishes were but overall it was a satisfactory visit with some caveats.

13/09/2026: Teresa she is the best, very good food.

05/09/2026: I brought my husband and Daughter today for the brunch and bubbles, food was very nice,I had the chicken with waffle and the others had the chargrilled burger with simosas,and aperol spritz,and we all had the sticky toffee pudding for desert,delicious.staff really nice and very efficient,Agnes (waitress)surprised us with an extra dessert with lighting candles for the Birthday celebration,a very nice gesture and finish to our day,thank you all xx

26/08/2026: We walked in yesterday evening around 8:30pm, in the rain. There was no line outside, and I could see four or five empty tables inside, but we were told they could not seat us without a reservation. It's a shame, since the restaurant appeared to have capacity that night. It might be worth clarifying this policy for walk-in guests, especially on quieter evenings. On the bright side, a local we met outside kindly recommended another restaurant just around the corner, where we ended up having a wonderful evening instead.

24/08/2026: Great pizzas and cocktails, lively atmosphere, reasonably priced with friendly and very efficient service from our waitress Leah. We'll definitely return again soon for more having enjoyed a great night there.

13/09/2026: The food was absolutely delicious! The pasta was so creamy and flavorful and the burger and chips were fantastic—you could really tell that everything was freshly made. We had a picky eater with us but he loved the garlic pizza and even finished the whole thing—compliments to the chef! A special thank-you to the wonderful servers, Maria, Remy, the young gentleman and the lovely young lady. They were working nonstop but still managed to keep smiling and provide excellent service. Everyone was very accommodating, friendly and kind. We also truly appreciated the complimentary items. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience—we’ll definitely be back!

12/09/2026: First time here today and I already love this restaurant. The staff are so friendly, welcoming, and really accommodating. Our special guests were treated with such kindness and zero judgment — it honestly lifted Temple Grill’s reputation even higher in my eyes. Definitely going back again.

18/09/2026: Delicious gelato with lots of flavours to choose from without it feeling overwhelming. It was so good that I came back a couple of times during my long weekend in Dublin. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!

18/09/2026: Very refreshing and tasty. Excellent service.

04/07/2026: Delicious food and the staff is super friendly and professional ! Great spot in dublin, I highly recommend !

02/07/2026: A perfect restaurant with a lovely staff. We had a really wonderful time

11/08/2026: Best pizza 🍕 around. The guys working there are so friendly and polite. We had really good experience with this place. Definitely will be back again. Highly recommend this place to everyone visiting this part of Dublin.

04/08/2026: Waited almost 2 hours and this is the standard of what got delivered. If you're going to list a telephone number, at least answer it. Alternatively, don't take an order if you can't deliver it within a reasonable time.

16/09/2026: Fantastic Italian restaurant in Dublin. The pasta was perfectly al dente and the Bolognese was rich, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Easily one of the best Bolognese dishes I’ve had in a long time.

16/09/2026: The bolognese at Pinocchio’s was absolutely delicious! We’ve already eaten here twice in the space of four days—that’s how much we enjoyed it. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the sauce was incredibly tasty, and the whole meal was surprisingly light and easy to digest. The restaurant also has a lovely atmosphere. We may even return once more before heading home to Montreal! Without a doubt, the best bolognese pasta we’ve had to date.

05/08/2026: If you wish to go to a restaurant with your family and have a pleasant evening DONT go here if you want to have a conversation amongst yourselves, goodness me the music blasted out and despite me asking them on 3 occasions to lower it down so we could actually hear each other they kept increasing it, we had to leave the restaurant and will never return.

12/07/2026: The best Italian food ever! The owners are incredibly nice and welcoming, and the portions are huge—even guys can get very full. It's really delicious! 😋

06/08/2026: Not the best place, need to improve a lot

03/07/2026: Very disappointing meal. The prices are very high & the portions are tiny - a poor combination. It's not like the dishes were so exquisite that small portions are part of the deal. Just mean portions & overpriced food - welcome to Dublin. I've eaten high quality food in Dublin many times, but Oliveto is trying to be something it's not.

24/08/2026: We had Carolina serving us- she was lovely and very accommodating! Great service

24/08/2026: carolina was our waiter, and had excellent service providing us with all our desired orders, fantastic service and even better food

06/09/2026: Super venue in the heart of Drumcondra. First time visit. Food was fantastic and the value was good.. They were busy.

04/09/2026: Expensive for the terrible level of service. Enjoyed meals here in the past but today when I brought my family of five out for dinner, I ordered the €41 steak and requested a simple substitution: swapping the onion side for mixed vegetables. I was informed my the manager that they don't accommodate swaps and that I would be charged the full €6.85 for an additional side dish. I even offered to pay the €1 price difference between the items, but this was also declined. At this price point, a basic level of flexibility and customer service is to be expected. Refusing a minor request so rigidly felt incredibly unwelcoming and won't have me returning.

23/08/2026: Food delicious, waiters are very nice

19/08/2026: My daughter ordered the french toast, she couldnt eat it, bananas soggy and absolutley drenched in maple syrup, couldnt even lift it up because it was so soggy, wont be back

02/09/2026: I track calories, so I used an app to find this place. The coffee with its creamy foam fit my daily total and tasted great. The outdoor seating area is simple and quiet.

22/08/2026: Anna and Lorenzo are fantastic and so friendly! You have to stop by for a classic Italian aperitivo!
