The best restaurantsof italian in Dublin

09/06/2025: Service was slow for only 10 people eating. Few items where not available

01/06/2025: We have visit here many times over the past 3 years, with our 3yr old grandson and family and never been disappointed however busy the restaurant is, we constantly change the menu to suit or needs and each time it is correct... We have been looked after by the amazing Mari she is so super efficient, no fuss, whatever our requirements she takes it all in her stride she is a credit to any restaurant, thank you Mari and we will see you soon and not forgetting the super kitchen staff who, despite being under a lot of pressure they are amazing... Thank you everyone

09/06/2025: Food and drink was lovely, but the attitude of the staff made for a negative experience, we attended the restaurant having made a booking and we were made to feel rushed and judged the whole time. The staff including the manager gave us dirty looks when we were there past 19:30 for ‘holding up their staff break’ despite our booking being until 20:00. The manager then attempted to smooth it over, after clocking our distaste at the negativity the staff were giving, by giving us a free lemonchelo (which tasted like a mix of handsanatiser and lemsip). Considering the price we paid, of over 100€, for drinks and food it would be expected to receive the same quality of customer service. Attend for the food but don’t expect a welcoming atmosphere

07/06/2025: I visited Toscan with two friends this week. The food was unreal and the staff were very welcoming. There was a really nice atmosphere too, we will definitely be back and will happily recommend to others!

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.

30/05/2025: We went in for just drinks - we were told we were only allowed stay for 1 hour. Had a few cocktails that were lovely and made well: all are €14

27/05/2025: Would give 4.5/5. Chicken waffle dish is very nice - could have some other brunch variations to the menu. Outside area looking onto the canal is a lovely spot for some food and drinks.

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.

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

11/05/2025: Great location and nice place. I found the food basic and it was over priced.

25/04/2025: ¡Muy buena pasta! La boloñesa es simplemente deliciosa y su madrugadora (antes de las 6 ) es de brillante valor. El servicio es bueno. Mientras aceptan tarjeta, creo que se prefiere el dinero en efectivo. Bonitas vistas si puedes conseguir un asiento en la ventana. Buena selección de vinos!

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.

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

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.

15/06/2025: I know this is mostly a cocktail place to people, but they have the best woodfire pizza I’ve ever had and I’ve been looking for a proper one for ages

15/06/2025: Absolutely appalling that they charge for cancellations! Especially when it was an emergency! Our father had to go in for emergency surgery (who was the whole reason we were going for lunch). Absolutely predatory policy! Disgusting

10/06/2025: We really enjoyed Piglet Wine Bar. We stopped for some wine and a cheeseboard and it did not disappoint. The menu has some very interesting wines and the service was very friendly and attentive.

11/05/2025: The best Tartare in Dublin! Had lunch here on Friday and truly enjoyed the service and food! We started with the charcuterie board and moved into the tartare. I’m already itching to go back! Thanks to the team- you were superb,friendly and attentive.
