Best Italian restaurants in Dublin
"We open at 5pm.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #VintageStyle #SpeakEasy #TempleBar... The Vintage Cocktail Club is truly appropriately named. In fact, those who have been here will be hard-pressed to answer which of the two brings crowds in the most: its award-winning cocktails or its vintage feel."
"If you are looking for something outside the ordinary pub, this is a must. The speakeasy-themed bar offers amazing drinks and food. The decor on the roof top makes it seem like you have traveled back in time for one of their specialty drinks!"
"The ever elusive V.C.C. is just one big dreamy mystery, and we just love it. On their top floor, the rooftop bar doubles as a smoking area. A beautiful view, if there's no rain of course."
"The best restaurant in Dublin for burgers, Bunsen is identified by its no-frills menu and cool contemporary interiors. Reflecting this ethos in its succinct menu of classic cheeseburgers, this place really knows all about the beauty of simplicity."
"Simplicity itself, Bunsen is straight up Irish beef burgers. Think fat, juicy meat between two squishy buns, with fresh toppings and a secret sauce. Choose a single or double patty, add chips and a drink and you’re golden."
"One of the prettiest restaurants in Dublin, Angelina's is a wonderland of green botanicals, comfy leather booths and floor-to-ceiling windows. In the summer months, head to the waterside terrace for an elegant brunch made up of Italian-inspired dishes and cocktails."
"Savoring the last day of the Bank Holiday with a lazy brunch or relaxing dinner?. Sink into one of our cosy booths and enjoy!. #AngelinasDublin #Angelinas"
"Why:Da Mimmo may be not be particularly central but it's well worth making the journey over to the North Strand simply to try the wonderful food on offer here. Although from the outside this cosy Italian might seem a little understated, the minimalist dining space provides the ideal ambience to enjoy dishes ranging from a wodge traditional hearty lasagne to wood-fired pizzas. This is also a particularly great spot for oenophiles thanks to the impressively long wine list that accompanies the food.Where: 148 North Strand Road, North Dock, D03 FK52"
"Da Mimmo is not exactly a tourist spot, and is considered by many to be one of Dublin’s best-kept secrets due to its familiar and cosy atmosphere. They serve large portions at affordable prices and both the pizzas and the pasta taste just like they would in Italy. Try the penne alla Norma with grated salted ricotta cheese and the pizza bianca with mozzarella cheese, Italian sausage, mushrooms, gorgonzola cheese and Parmesan."
"Da Mimmo was opened in 2010 by Tino Fuscardi with their dishes being developed over past generations as it is a family run Italian restaurant located in Dublin 3. They are well known in Dublin for their homemade wood fired Pizzas, Pasta & AntiPasto; delicious desserts and a wide range of best Italian Wines."
"For pizza slices as big as your head at €3 a go, you cannot beat DiFontaine’s Pizzeria, right in the heart of town on Parliament Street. Don’t expect a five-star setting – this is a counter-and- stools kind of place – but the pizzas are excellent. Your cheap-as-chips slice will have a good base, deliciously melting cheese and a robust tomato sauce."
"I absolutely love this place, if not for their delicious vegan pizza, then for their kind and friendly staff. It has that New York pizzeria feel that sometimes I just crave. When I went to try a slice, the owner shared a story about how they came up with their recipe."
"Opened back in 2009, the Golden Elephant Asian Restaurant is all about made-to-order Chinese dishes prepared from fresh local produce. They use traditional recipes with lots of oriental spices and offer a wide range of sizzling dishes like prawn Malaysian sambal sauce and fillet beef black bean. I had the signature steam seabass in ginger scallion a while ago and it was extremely tasty."
"The last item on our list is undoubtedly one of the finest examples of modern architecture in the city. The Bord Gáis Energy Theatre was designed by Polish-American architect Daniel Libeskind in 2010, and its contemporary, angular style ties in perfectly with its home in the ultra modern Grand Canal area. The design ties into its theatrical theme with a striking composition of a ‘red carpet’ with bright resin-glass paving extending from the theatre, covered with distinctive red glowing angled light sticks."
"Designed by Studio Libeskind in 2010, the Grand Canal Square formed an important milestone for the redevelopment of the Dublin Docklands area. The 2000-seat theater is based on the concept of stages: the stage of the theater, the stage of the piazza, the stage of the multiple lever lobby above the piazza."

"Again, you will have done your homework and booked something in advance, we hope (though there always is a chance to get late tickets even for the Abbey Theatre, with a bit of luck). If you are set on enjoying an Irish night out, a large number of pubs offer their services and many also provide entertainment (free or for a small fee in most cases). Just follow the crowds, which will, more than likely, bring you to the Temple Bar area."
"One of my all time favourite memories as a child was visiting the Gaiety Theatre with my grandmother. She use to take us once a year and I absolutely loved it. Things haven’t changed too much at The Gaiety but it remains a prominent influence on Irish arts and theatre."

"A stunning mansion in the Elizabethan Revival style, Killruddery has been home to the Brabazon family (earls of Meath) since 1618 and has one of the oldest gardens in Ireland. The house is impressive, but the prizewinner here is the magnificent orangery, built in 1852 and chock-full of statuary and plant life. If you like fancy glasshouses, this is the one for you. It's 6km north of Greystones just off the R761 coast road."
"At the northern end of Parnell Square is a small, peaceful park, dedicated to the men and women who have died in pursuit of Irish freedom. The Garden of Remembrance marks the spot where several leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising were held overnight before being taken to Kilmainham Gaol, and was also where the Irish Volunteers movement was formed in 1913. The central water feature is in the form off a sunken crucifix with the mighty Children of Lir statue at one end."
