The Best Italian Restaurants In Dublin
"Not an area known for its cocktail bars, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the hidden gem that is Vintage Cocktail Club. Taking you on a journey into the dark and distance Prohibition Era, this Crown Alley bar offers that ‘wow’ factor at every turn. The exclusive, relaxed and welcoming vibe of the bar is a throwback to the golden age of speakeasies, aviators and silent movies, complimented by the fabulous vintage-chic 1920s themed drinks."
"Offering a menu of fresh and delicious seasonal dishes, Vintage Cocktail Club is a romantic retreat for date nights in Temple Bar. With its a stunning selection of cocktails, this place is three floors of 1920s chic for you and your partner to lose yourselves in for a few hours."
"Bunsen is the newest addition to the Wexford Street food trail and it promises authentic, American-style hamburgers with the perfect arrangement of beef, bun, cheese and toppings. Proprietor Tom Gleeson went through 12 different prototypes before settling on his current recipe and it's an excellent combination. Expect perfectly cooked Aberdeen Angus beef, oozy cheese, a soft bun and crunchy fried, all served on a classic red, plastic tray with a milkshake."
"If you’re craving a burger, then Bunsen is your only man, as Dubliners would say. The menu is so small it fits on a business card – they only do one thing, but boy, do they do it well. The patties are minced every morning and dripping pink and juicy, while the hand-cut fries are quite possibly the best in town."
"The tag line says Straight Up Burgers, but Bunsen serves only the tastiest, most succulent lumps of prime beef cooked to perfection and served between two halves of a homemade bap."
"A vision in red, Angelina's is a beautiful canal-side restaurant with plenty of character, flavour and charm. The menu itself is made up of Italian, European and Irish influences, with everything from pork belly for brunch, to leek gnocchi and sausage pizzas for dinner."
"Angelina's is a canal-side romantic restaurant in Dublin with plenty of character, flavour and Italian-inspired charm. Tuck into a menu that includes everything from maple glazed pork belly with brunch, to creamed leek gnocchi and delicious sausage pizzas for dinner."
"Another great spot for outdoor dining is Angelina's in Percy Place, Dublin 4. Booking for the terrace has been in high demand so make sure to check availability and make a booking through OpenTable. View this post on Instagram"
"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"
"The Penne Da Mimmo provides a great taste of Italy on a plate with its fresh Italian sausage and creamy red bell pepper sauce served over al dente pasta. Da Mimmo was our personal savior during our second trip to Dublin. Located less than a block from our less-than-fabulous apartment in a previously sketchy area of Dublin, this restaurant became our go-to for pasta, calzones and pizza."
"Located in the East Wall neighbourhood of North Dublin, Da Mimmo serve up quality pizza, pasta, and other Italian staples in a friendly and casual cafe-style dining area. Their wood-fired pizza is excellent and a contender for the best pizza in the capital. For a cosy, hearty, and tasty Italian lunch, it is hard to look past Da Mimmo."
"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."
"Located on bustling Camden Street, it would be easy for Neon to get lost in the abundance of asian restaurants that line either side of the road. The concept and execution however put them a cut above the rest. With chic d�cor and long, sharing tables you order at the till and with lightning fast service even in rush hour you'll find a large, hearty portion of your dish of choice."
"A post shared by Neon (@neondublin) on Dec 28, 2019 at 6:35am PST. At Neon Asian Street Food, the emphasis is on creating dishes with the aid of fresh, locally available ingredients. Recipes are sourced from various Asian countries and the spices used are also diverse."
"It can be hard to get a table at tiny Tang, but it is worth the wait for a taste of the impressive menu that is made on a single hot plate. The modern Middle Eastern-inspired twists on the morning meal are bright and fresh. The shakshuka (eggs poached in spicy harissa with red peppers) is unmissable."
"We’ll be serving all the good stuff in Dawson St today from 10 – 4 then closed till Tuesday 👊🏻 Abbey Street closed all weekend!. Time for some rest and relaxation for us and our staff – have a great bank holiday and see you Tuesday!. #tangfood #dawsonstreet #abbeystreet #bankholidayweekend"
"Fresh, Middle-Eastern inspired food with a local Irish twist plus some of the best-tasting coffee in Dublin, Tang is one of our absolute faves for breakfast, lunch and we'd totally do dinner there if we could!. Stop in for smiling faces and stellar treats."
"The Bakehouse sell a variety of at-home food boxes, from dinner to family feeds to something for the wine lover in your life."
"The Gerard Byrne Studio, Art Gallery is home to a display of Gerard's paintings and is aimed at art enthusiasts and collectors."
"Set in the beautiful St Anne's Park in Clontarf, the Red Stables Food Market is ideal for a romantic stroll, a day out with the family, or just a browse with your mates. It runs every Saturday from 10am to 5pm (10am to 4 pm in winter) and is set against a Victorian two-storey building which features design studios, artist workspaces, a commercial gallery, café and courtyard area where the market takes place."
"Since construction completed in 1204, this original Celtic settlement structure has been in continuous use. Today, the city center enjoys a prominent location that is used for important conferences, events, and fine dining for the elite. If these walls could talk, they would spill secrets of invasions, espionage, famine, and the occasionally peaceful and wealthy rule."
"The next place on the list of best photo spots in Dublin is Dublin Castle. One of the most famous things to see in Dublin is Dublin Castle. It's a very large Irish government complex that's a must-see when you're in the city."
"Ireland, and Dublin in particular, is synonymous with great literature, and many of its great writers are synonymous with Dublin pubs. They drank, talked, and took in characters and conversations that made their way onto the page. Every pub will tell you James Joyce, Brendan Behan or Flann O’Brien drank there – and they probably did – but none has a stronger literary connection than Neary’s."
"Perhaps the most agreeable of Dublin's old-time boozers, a step away from the shopping frenzy of Grafton Street. It's perfect for a low-key drink on a Saturday afternoon or on a mid-week evening. Outside there's a touch of late-Victorian exuberance in the form of two outstretched cast-iron arms holding aloft a pair of lanterns."
