The best restaurantsof italian in Fingal

02/07/2025: Incredible Pizza & Authentic Italian Vibes at La Scarpetta! La Scarpetta is hands down one of the best Italian spots I’ve been to! If you’re a pizza lover, this place is a must. The crust is perfectly thin and crisp with just the right amount of chew—clearly made with skill and passion. Each pizza is wood-fired to perfection, with high-quality, fresh ingredients that speak for themselves. We tried the Special pizza with tomato sauce, spicy salami ,nduja,hot honey .The tomato sauce was rich and flavoured , the mozzarella was creamy and melted beautifully, and the toppings were generous without overpowering the balance of flavours. You can really taste the authenticity in every bite. The Tartufo Nero dessert was the perfect balance of rich dark chocolate and creamy indulgence.The outer shell had a satisfying coca powder,giving way to a smooth cream , velvety center with just the right hint of bitterness from the dark chocolate and a touch of sweetness. Each bite felt luxurious and deeply satisfying. If you're a chocolate gelato lover, this dessert is non-negotiable – a true showstopper! I would come back just for this. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a touch of rustic Italian charm. The staff was friendly, attentive, and happy to walk us through the menu and wine pairings. We felt well taken care of from start to finish. La Scarpetta has definitely earned a spot on our go-to list. Whether you're dining in or grabbing a casual pizza night, it's a five-star experience every time. Highly recommend!

02/07/2025: A firm favourite of ours in the past, the service has deteriorated recently while prices have gone up.

20/05/2025: Food was nice, service was good but the kids were charged for early bird menu when they only had garlic bread and margarita pizza plus 1 meat....this didn't add up to the price of the early bird so disappointed to be charged that and should have been charged the A la carte price

18/05/2025: Friendly staff, delicious food and mostly the pastas are a good portion per price. Friendly staff, delicious food, and the pasta dishes are mostly a good portion for the price. The only thing I didn’t like was the focaccia — it didn’t really resemble a focaccia; it looked more like naan bread. It was tasty, though, just not what we were expecting. Also, if you don’t have a reservation, be prepared to wait a long time for a table or possibly be asked to leave, as tables are often booked — unless you go during the quieter hours

10/08/2024: Great spot for a coffee. Get the bagel it's delicious.

30/03/2025: Excellent!! We haven't been to this restaurant in a while, but it just gets better and better. Pastas cooked to perfection, tuna steak was delicious. Exceptional food, hidden away but well worth a visit.

29/03/2025: The food here is made with care. We usually get the calamari appetizer. It’s garlicky buttery goodness. Their prawn appetizer, gamberi in salsa, is also very tasty. You can’t go wrong with their pasta dishes. Our favs are the Cappelletti di Carne and the Tagliatelle alla Salsiccia. For dessert, their tiramisu “parfait” is gorgeous.

11/06/2025: The pasta was overpriced and poorly presented. I was disappointed.

27/05/2025: The food is just average. I've been in Ireland for 10 days and decided to stay close to the airport on my final day. The hotel receptionist during check-in asked if I wanted a reservation at the Italian restaurant. I thought it had to be good. I am disappointed this will be my last meal in Ireland. I should have taken a taxi back in to the Temple Bar area. Ive had several amazing meals in that area. I can't believe a fancy place like The Italian Kitchen could not compare to any of those smaller restaurants. The Bruschetta was bland. The truffle dinner was bland.
