The best restaurantsof italian in Dublin

21/06/2025: There is nothing Italian about this place. The pizza/pasta and the ingredients used are of very low quality. As an Italian, I definitely do not recommend this place

21/06/2025: Maya's service was the best. I loved it.

06/07/2025: Food was so so good. Staff were quick and polite.

06/07/2025: Pizza absolutely failed. €20 to eat a pizza with ridiculous toppings, 2 slices of ham, very acidic and unpleasant tomato, not to mention the Mozzarella insistence. The dough is biscuity, not at all leavened and absolutely not digestible. It's a shame because the location is crazy and in the past (about 1 year ago) the pizza was good and pleasant. Not recommended for a very demanding Italian public, if you are a tourist and are satisfied then it's fine, but there are millions of places even in Temple bar where they do it much better and that says it all.

12/05/2025: I will give them 5 stars even they can improve some things. Food was excellent, home-made omlette, home-made beef burger, both really perfect. Sweets are not home-made but excellent as well and I highly recommend apply pie. I appreciate they were honest to say that sweets are not home-made. Lady who was serving food was super friendly, nice and kind. Even it was only us and we were not in any rush, we were wanting for drinks and food too long. This place could be better cleaned (table cloth and all around) but food was so good, and music was so nice, that we forgot other things.

10/05/2025: Cute little place, service was very nicer , delicious food. Cake was also good. They even delivered on the sunshine, but that might not be guaranteed.

14/06/2025: Hospitality and Italian cuisine, the real ones! Congratulations!

27/05/2025: We have been to Bellagio a number of times with friends and family. A lovely Italian experience in Dublin, food and staff amazing.

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

16/06/2025: Father's Day early dinner....place was hopping..food as always really good..company even better

04/06/2025: Often for a coffee accompanied by a Focaccia 😋

01/06/2025: Best coffee in Dublin, real Italian bar and super staff.

23/06/2025: Had dinner here one night. The layout is interesting: booths at the front, tables for two at the back. Nicely decorated and lit. Good, limited menu. The wife had the lasagne - reportedly very good - and I had a pizza. Is there a polite way of eating pizza? – finger food? The wine was alright: by the glass and I think the bottle had been open too long. The service was attentive, friendly and fast. The barman makes a good soda water and lime.

13/06/2025: Absolutely stunning location for group outing. Food was great, lovely music in the background at good level to still allow you have conversations with friends and hear yourselves. I will definitely visit again.

29/06/2025: This is a very well presented large restaurant, nice decor and a very lovely setting right on the grand canal and their outdoor seating area is lovely on a bright day. I was here on Saturday and the restaurant was very quiet - hardly four tables occupied and that is very surprising for Dublin. I had the cauliflower soup to start - it was flavoured well and tasted good but was just coloured broth instead of soup - watery. For mains I had the chicken and what arrived was half a piece of chicken that was tough accompanied by a bit of courgette and some mash and jus. The jus was flavourful and mash was really smooth and tasty - but the dish was very disappointing as a whole. My friend had speck and truffle pizza and that was very flavourful and perfectly baked. Overall I might try them for breakfast sometime as the setting is lovely - but the food is nothing to rush back for and the prices are ridiculously high for what you get.

27/06/2025: Wouldn’t have guessed how nice this place was walking up to it - it’s a gorgeous spot overlooking the river - food was excellent - everyone in my group loved what they ordered & some tend to be hard to please! Will be back very soon!

12/07/2025: Food was very good. I had the Katsu Chicken and my friend had the guniesa beef stew. Both of us were impressed by the taste. My Katsu was close to the best I've ever had even the ones made by Japanese people. I tried the beef stew and it was so rich that I almost couldn't handle it. It's well made. If you like that sort of thing it's a must try. Service was excellent. Even though it was busy both bartenders kept asking if we were settled and took our orders as well as helping us know where to sit. This place will be on my list for a lifetime.

30/06/2025: What a lovely lunch spot! Enjoyed every bite of our meals and even dessert. Everything was so fresh and the restaurant had the perfect view of the city. Grazie mille!

09/06/2025: Veal disguised as pig. Absolutely worst meal I've had in Dublin

08/06/2025: Family atmosphere, cozy, unparalleled food and the best people, kind, high standard education...thank you

13/06/2025: The best ice-cream in the world. My favourite are Sorbet mango, white chocolate pistachio and Dubai chocolate

09/06/2025: Outside on Grafton street. The ice cream is absolutely a treat. We were a group..so we had a few different things..the waffles and the crepes are made fresh

10/06/2025: Ordered burger n chips n a kebab as a treat for myself n the kids. Was told 15/20 mins to collect. Arrived 30 mins later and meal still hadn't been started. Got home and burger and kebab meat was burnt (overdone), chewy and chips were hard, cleary undercooked. Was as if they quickly torches the meal as they forgot about my order. I did get a free pasta but a big disappointment having chosen this place under a tight schedule with kids etc.

27/05/2025: Ordered here through Deliveroo and was really unimpressed. I had the chicken in pepper sauce, which consisted of a small chicken breast swimming in pepper sauce and two measly scoops of mash. No side of veg, nothing. For €13 a portion it's scandalous, you'd get a whole carvery dinner for nearly the same money. The only good thing was that the food arrived quickly, but I'd never order from here again.

07/07/2025: This place deserves all the love! Amazing wine list, excellent food, cute, romantic atmosphere, reasonable prices. On a quiet street off bustling Temple Bar area. If you don't want something touristy, this is your spot for a great dinner!

21/06/2025: Love love love Piglet, the food, wine and service are always top notch. We had a selection of starters, duck gizzards, devilled eggs, prawn pil pil and the paté, all were delicious. We had a bottle of white with the starters and left the owner choose the red for the main, both were lovely. For mains two of us shared the Côte de Boeuf and the other two mains were Ragu and Cacio de Pepe, all were absolutely delicious, the Beef was cooked perfectly. Even though we were stuffed we shared tonka bean creme brulee and some dessert wine. Can't recommend this restaurant enough.

21/06/2025: Me and my partner are visiting Ireland and stayed at the Maldron Hotel, we decided to try out Pandini's for lunch on our last day and I wish we came sooner! Great service, friendly staff and good wait time for the food even though it was busy on a Saturday lunch time. If you're around the area I would highly recommend the food. I had the carbonara and my partner had the lasagne and the portion sizes were great too. Way better than what you get in your restaurants in the UK.

16/06/2025: We visited this restaurant for father's day and I will be honest it's thin on the plus points. We arrived a few minutes before our appointment and the outside can be a bit deceiving as you can't see inside it doesn't look busy. But when we went inside there was a decent crowd there for the time of day so it created a good ambience. We walked up to the reception point but for some reason we were left standing there for several minutes even though there was 4staff members standing on the other side. No one even acknowledged our presence it was a very odd exchange. Eventually we were shown to our table but the table service was very slow throughout. No one even asked us what drinks we wanted I had to ask for the round. Some glasses we had to change as there was lipstick marks still on the glasses. We thought the food was just OK. We ordered different starters and mains. The pesto pasta was very overpowering in taste and really wet compared to the spaghetti bolognese that was dry. The chip portion we ordered was far too greasy.

06/07/2025: Situé sur le toit de l’hôtel The Dean, Sophie’s Rooftop offre une belle vue sur Dublin. Les cocktails sont corrects, sans être exceptionnels, mais le service est vraiment sympathique et efficace. C’est une bonne adresse pour prendre un verre en profitant d’une ambiance agréable.

04/07/2025: Veronica was excellent and the food was delicious! It was a great experience in Dublin! Wishing the weather was not cloudy so we could have seen the sunset.
