Rooftop Bars in Dublin
"This waterside restaurant boasts a beautiful terrace that's perfect for soaking up the city's buzzing atmosphere in the summer. The ideal setting for group dining, Angelina's interiors are made up of a long bar and luxurious leather booths, with Irish fare making up the menu."
"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."
"It offers a grown-up dining experience, traditional in the best sense of the word, with white tablecloths, low lighting and endless bottles of (mostly Italian) wine lining the walls. Fresh fish is delivered daily, displayed to patrons at a wet counter by the restaurant entrance and transformed by the chef into a selection of authentic Italian dishes. These include capesante gratinate (oven-baked scallops covered in breadcrumbs and parmesan) and the house speciality: fresh calamari and gamberi with spicy spinach."
"Rosa Madre is located in Temple Bar and specialize in fresh fish which is delivered by local suppliers where they guarantee to have the finest quality available. Rosa Madre focus on the quality of their ingredients with their specialities including fresh Calamari and Gamberi served with spicy spinach, Lobster tonnarelli or Ravioli al Tartufo made by their Chef from Pesaro, Francesco Mambelli."
"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."
"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."
"An informal setting, great banter from the staff and amazing Italian cooking makes Da Mimmo one of the most popular Italians in town. Tasty pizza, gorge pasta, cheerful prices - sure you can't go wrong."
"San Lorenzos is a modern Italian inspired restaurant in the city centre, famous for its fantastic brunch menu. It’s a fast-paced restaurant so not exactly the place to go for a quiet brunch to read the newspaper but if you want a fun atmosphere, great music and fantastic food, it’s the place to be. Their brunch tacos are an unusual but delicious addition to the already alternative menu and there is something to suit every taste."
"The mighty San Lorenzo’s is another restaurant that’s said to dish out some of the best brunch Dublin has to offer (it’s also one of our favourite Italian restaurants in Dublin). This is, unsurprisingly enough, an Italian restaurant that cooks with a New York flair. Booking here is an absolute must!"
"Bringing you fresh Italian cuisine within a relaxed and romantic setting, this city centre restaurant is a top spot for a date night dinner or weekend lunch. Boasting an extensive menu of pizzas, pastas, fine wines and refreshing aperitifs Pacino's will keep you sticking around 'til closing time."
"This romantic city centre restaurant is the perfect place for an Italian-style date night. The simple menu is jam-packed with delicious pasta and pizza dishes made from local ingredients, freshly cooked to order. Pacino's also offers an affordable early bird menu, perfect for a pre-show dinner."
"Pacino's is serving authentic Italian cuisine that's freshly cooked to order and paired bottles from their dedicated sommelier. One of the most sought-after Italian restaurants in Dublin city centre, it creates a sense of amore with its atmospheric dimmed lighting and exquisite classics."
"Inside, it doesn't look like much, you'd most likely walk past it without even spotting it (I don't know how many friends I've had to run out and meet because they got lost coming here) but Terra Madre is a gem. Whenever someone asks me for a dinner recommendation, Terra Madre always makes the list and I've never had a single person come back after with anything other than high praises. It's a simple place, just a few worn-down tables, red and white gingham table cloths and a few jolly wine-loving Italians there to take your order."
"This is a family owned, homely restaurant based on bachelors walk, and you’ll need to have a good gander around to find the entrance but once you do, trust us when we say you won’t be disappointed. The authentic Italian food and wine alone make this one a winner but the service is what brings it over the top. The staff and the owners treat you like their own and you truly feel the Italian charm in this place."
"This tiny basement restaurant feels like a secret patch of Italian soil by the Liffey. Down a set of old stone steps you’ll find Italian peasant cooking, including rich Tuscan stews filled with octopus and black chickpeas. The kitchen serves warm lardo draped over toast and fennel salami imported from Italy with a side of pickled caper sprouts."
"For a more quaint American-themed restaurant, this small cafe offers a wide variety of traditional Irish and American classics such as Guinness Beef Stew and cheeseburgers. Read More: Almost 25% more North Americans visiting Ireland"

"Founded in 1028, Christ Church Cathedral is Dublin’s oldest medieval cathedral. It’s a spectacular Gothic / Romanesque construction, and serves as the seat of both the Church of Ireland and the Roman Catholic church in Dublin. It will be recognisable to fans of TV show The Tudors, as many scenes from the show were filmed on site."
"Christ Church Cathedral is one of the best photo spots in Dublin. One of the reasons why it's amazing to capture is that it's a medieval cathedral!. Also, the architecture of the cathedral is amazing."
