"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"
"Located in the heart of Temple Bar, Rosa Madre is both one of the most central and one of the best Italian restaurants in Dublin. The focus of the place is seafood, so expect everything from risotto with prawns to Octopus salad and even a full lobster. The owner, Luca De Marzio, is originally from Rome and has legendary status in the foodie scene."
"Rosa Madre in Dublin’s Temple Bar neighbourhood specialises in Italian seafood dishes, including such delicacies as lobster, oysters, and prawns. While the seafood is locally sourced Irish produce, all of the recipes have an authentic Italian influence. Location: 7 Crow Street, Temple Bar, Dublin"
"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."
"San Lorenzo's in one of the city's premiere Italian spots that isn't relying on the homely, rustic style that is the usual hallmark of Italian restaurants. The aim is modern cuisine that fuses classic Italian ingredients with a New York style of cooking. The interior is dark with light wooden benches in booths."
"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!"
"Why: If you know that you’re fancying Italian food but are wanting something a little bit different from a standard restaurant, The Little Pig Speakeasy could be just what you’re looking for. This 1920s style speakeasy hidden away in the centre of Dublin not only serves some pretty spectacular cocktails, but also offers a fantastic food menu of Italian classics. You can indulge in dishes ranging from burrata with Parma ham and melon to lobster spaghetti, all while enjoying the classy ambience of the velvet-clad room.Where:6 Glendenning Lane, Wicklow Street, D02 NP97"
"The Little Pig is from the folks behind Suffolk Street's beautiful, underground Blind Pig speakeasy - Michael Martin & Co. It takes up the floor above Pacino's restaurant and is all luxurious red velvet walls, polished bronze roofing, navy velvet seating, white tabletops, dimmed lighting and tasselled lamps. It's pure mysterious, intriguing, elegant, old-school class that brings you back to another era."
"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…"
"Another Italian restaurant with a different feel and proposition to Milano, Dunne and Crescenzi is family friendly in the Italian way. Here there is nothing that is specifically for kids (except for high chairs) but kids are welcome and the food meets the taste of most small mouths. While they do not have a ids men as such the portions are not huge (still good though!) so my kids usually polish them off."
"If you’re seeking a taste of Sicily, Dunne & Crescenzi is the answer. Strategically placed very close to Grafton Street in Dublin’s city centre, this place offers some of the best in Italian cuisine, using authentic Irish ingredients whenever possible. Try the Altamura bread with the antipasto misto board, made of Emilia Romagna and Tuscan charcuterie and Asiago cheese."
"The unpretentious brilliance of this husband-and-wife restaurant and deli just off Nassau Street is what makes the classy little Italian joint...Read More"

"The Ilac Centre is a shopping centre, located in central Dublin, north of the River Liffey. It has entrances opening onto Henry Street, Parnell…"
"Located in the Creative Quarter, a hub for shopping and art, George's Street Arcade dates back to the late 19th century, when it was called South City Market. Although it's Ireland's oldest market, it resembles a current-day flea market, with stalls selling everything from wood-fired pizza to New Age jewelry. A respite from traditional boutiques and shopping centers, the covered market packs in vendors and is certainly worth a walkthrough."
"The Victorian redbrick George’s Street Arcade houses several stalls and stores. There’s a lot to discover in this arcade, from high fashion clothing and accessories to funky gear to custom and costume jewellery. There are also stalls and shops offering fortune telling, hairstyling and specialty items."
"Dublin’s first purpose-built Victorian Shopping Centre dates back to 1881. Following a devastating city fire in1892 which destroyed most of the building, the …"
"If you’re in central Dublin and feel like walking off your pints of Guinness, cheese toasties or oysters, there are few better places to stretch your legs than St Stephen’s Green (another public space donated by the Guinness family, when Sir Arthur Edward Guinness bought, landscaped and opened up the park). Its 3.5km of paths take you past a bird-filled ornamental lake and several leafy places to take shelter from the very occasional rain showers you might experience in the city. In the summer, lunchtime concerts are the perfect outdoor accompaniment to a picnic."
"St. Stephen’s Green is another one of the many luscious green spaces throughout Dublin, perfect for a stroll as you lock arms with your partner. Waltz through the trees and twirl around the concrete slabs that many have walked before. Pay a visit to the Yeats memorial garden and view the bust of James Joyce, while relaying their words in your minds."
"Go to Stephen's Green Shopping Centre for a great place for shopping and taking photos!. It is a large indoor shopping center in the city center of Dublin where you can find many shops. The interior of the place looks incredible."
"The buses will take you past the major sights and, depending on which tour you choose (grab some leaflets the evening before or do some research on the internet), even far-flung attractions like the Guinness Brewery, Kilmainham Gaol, and Phoenix Park will be seen. The main thing to remember here: get a good seat on top, enjoy the view, listen to the commentary, and snap away... but do not get off the bus. This is your city tour."
"Porterhouse Central on Nassau Street is the 2nd Porterhouse location in Dublin. Thanks to being off Grafton Street just a little bit further from the heart of the nightlife action, it was much more chill than other pubs were on the same night I visited. I had the Celebration Stout, which had been created for the brewery’s 20th anniversary."
"This casual, unpretentious restaurant serves up Lebanese cuisine, and except for a couple of dishes that include cheese, the majority of Umi Falafel’s menu is vegan. Here you’ll find freshly prepared, home-made falafel in sandwiches and salads, along with sides like vegan spinach filo pastries, stuffed vine leaves and lentil soup. With a number of branches throughout Dublin, Umi Falafel can be found in Ireland’s oldest shopping mall, George’s Street Arcade."
"Govinda’s give customers an entirely veggie and plan-based experience with a host of unique flavours to their name. They offer chickpea curries, mouth-watering samosas, tofu satay and much more. If you’ve still got room there’s trays of vegan cakes to add the cherry to your hearty meal."
"Govinda’s is a very affordable Indian restaurant that has a completely vegetarian menu with plenty of vegan options, too. It’s located just on the north side of the river near Arnotts Department Store. The best part about this restaurant is their daily plates."
