Top Best Italian Restaurants in Malahide

"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."

"Like the idea of waterside drinking and dining as the temperatures rise?. Angelina's have pretty outdoor space facing the canal, so you can kick back with a couple of glasses and a plate of freshly made pasta while topping up your tan."

"Why: If you’re a fan of Italian seafood, Rosa Madre is the perfect place for you. With a menu centred around fish, the Temple Bar restaurant is also never short on theatre. Dishes such as gratinated Wexford scallops come served on loudly patterned plates, while whole fishes are filleted at the side of your table."

"Some of the tastiest seafood pasta can be found in Rosa Madre. As soon as you step in the door you're met by a huge cabinet which is iced and packed full of fish and shellfish. It's a stunning venue, tucked away down the cobblestone streets of Temple Bar but inside it's got a lot of character."

"If you are by the North Strand, consider yourself lucky because Da Mimmo is one of the best Italian restaurants in Dublin. Opened in 2010, it quickly outgrew its original place, with half the neighbourhood queuing to try one (or more!) items on their extensive pizza and pasta list. With high-quality food and prices considerably lower than many restaurants in the very centre, we really can’t think of a reason why this shouldn’t become your new regular spot on the Northside."

"I’ve never been a fan of touristy Italian restaurants in Dublin (or anywhere else, for that matter). Which is why I try to opt for family-run restaurants located outside of tourist/office hotspots. This is why I’ve been returning to North Strand’s Da Mimmo time and time again (the food’s great too, of course!)."

"The son of the original owners converted what was once a traditional fish-and-chip shop into this sit-down restaurant, now serving some of the best Italian food in the city. Everything here – from the Caprese... Top ChoiceIrish in North of the Liffey"

"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!"

"With salt caramelized bananas, peanut butter, mascarpone whipped cream, Belgian chocolate sauce. #gains #gainsfromtrade #ireland. A post shared by •ﾉ◊и∆ɬｻ∆и ﾚⅰ㎡• SWAT626🔫🎮🇺🇸🇮🇪 (@jonathan_impactswat) on May 2, 2015 at 6:09am PDT"

"If you're looking to indulge early on the weekend, look no further. San Lorenzo's can be described (and is) as a modern Italian, NYC style. Some say this is the #bestbrunchindublin and I'm finding it hard to argue that myself."

"Tucked away behind Dublin Castle, this little restaurant serves pizza, pasta, fresh fish and seriously mouth-watering Italian desserts in an especially cosy atmosphere. A tiny place accommodating less than 20 people at the same time, it almost feels like having dinner (or lunch) at your Italian friends’ home. The extremely welcoming owners (Carlo cooks, Elaine takes care of the guests) will take you through the menu, recommend wines to go with your chosen plate and give you tips for your next Italian holiday on top."

"Why: This tiny restaurant over towards Dublin castle has a wonderfully laid-back feel to it with the menu scribbled up on a black board and the owners always keen to come over and have a chat while you wait for your food. When it comes to food, it’s mainly about the pizza at Bottega Tofolli, with a different pizza on offer every day for just €10. However, with a focus on always sourcing the finest Irish produce, you can also expect the odd seasonal special cropping up now and then.Where: 34 Castle Street, D2"

"Tucked away behind Dublin Castle on a cobblestone street is a tiny restaurant that serves glorious Italian food. Ran by a two-person team, this little nook is a very chill spot for casual dining and an ideal spot to hang out with friends over some honest good food. The pizzas are all roughly around €16-€18 and are seriously good."

"Pinocchio was the late Italian food writer and Michelin star-winning chef Paulo Tullio’s favourite Italian restaurant in Dublin. Though its location beneath the Ranelagh Luas station might not be the most glamorous, their flavourful menu of delicious antipasto, homemade pasta, pizza and other authentic Italian recipes earned their food top marks from the respected critic. This is genuine Italian cooking that won’t break the bank: Pinocchio offers a value early-bird-style dinner menu option seven days a week."

"Cafe Topolis is located in the heart of the city center, next door to Dublin’s City Hall and serves its guests with a wide variety of mouth-watering Italian cuisine. All of the pizzas at Cafe Topolis are cooked in the traditional wood burning pizza oven. A wood fired pizza oven cooks your pizza better than a normal oven because of Read more…"

"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."

"This tiny Italian joint only has a few tables, but the food that comes out of the kitchen is exquisite. This is the kind of earthy food you’d be served in a Tuscan village, with moreish pasta dishes and traditional secondi. The pastas are rich and prepared perfectly, with just the right amount of flavour packed into the sauces."

"Dublin must have a thing for great restaurants in basements, because Terra Madre is just that, great. The restaurant itself is quaint, and a no frills affair but that’s exactly its attraction. Because you are transported to a village in Italy once your chosen dishes arrive at your table."

"With two locations in Grafton Street and Blanchardstown Captain Americans welcomes families with children of all ages. For the burger fans, Captain Americas will keep the whole family happy. Serving large portions with an extensive selection of burgers alongside steaks, chicken wings, nachos, and many others."

"These superheroes claim to have introduced the burger to Ireland way back in 1971. Since then, this hugely popular Stateside invasion has continued apace, …"

"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"

"Located in Whitehall in a Northside suburb of Dublin city is Golden Palace, a Chinese restaurant offering one of the top buffet restaurants in Dublin. Stepping things up a notch, they offer table service that enhances the experience of what would otherwise be a self-serve buffet dinner. Seeing as this is one of the most popular restaurants in the locale, booking is advised at Golden Palace."

"If you appreciate a good, strong cup of coffee, then you need to get yourself to One Society in Dublin. It has some of the nicest tasting coffee we’ve ever tried anywhere in Ireland, and we’ve tried a LOT of places. Not only are their drinks phenomenal, but their food is out-of-this-world grade, too."

"One Society cafe on Lower Gardiner Street is a “hidden” gem. If you’re looking for a cool coffee, breakfast, brunch, or lunch spot, check this place out. ⁣It’s a little bit out of the way to get to, but no more than a 5-10 minute walk from O’Connell bridge."

"One of my favorite vegan stands that I simply cannot get enough of. They serve their signature vegan roll with seitan chick’n and you can pick from a number of different toppings and sauces. My go-to order is spicy chick’n, chili mayo, cheeze, lettuce, and red onion."

"Dublin based Vegan Sandwich Company’s ‘Chick*n Fillet Roll is ideal for anyone craving something meaty this veganuary. Who could resist a sourdough baguette filled with plain or spicy vegan chick*n and a combination of up to three salads?"

"Nunki Tea House opened at the start of the summer and it's the most darling spot for a cup of tea or bubble tea. Along with tea in precious Japanese porcelain cups, they serve delicious sweet treats including a classic bubble tea waterfall cake. It's a really cute spot, deffo worth a visit."

"If you find yourself hungry or thirsty in Dún Laoghaire, Nunki Teahouse is always a good call. For some serious refreshment, they have a range of cold fruit teas including pineapple, orange, watermelon, and a totally tropical mango cloud yogurt tea."
