This is yet another review from my time in Ireland in August of this year…read more I have to start by saying that I absolutely love Italian food and will seek it out where ever I go...for the most part. Il Sorriso was quite fantastic and authentic - from the Italian staff to the excellent cuisine! Began with a fine glass of Chianti and superbly fresh bruschetta and basil. The main course was Pollo con Panna e Funghi . Tender chicken, perfectly cooked pasta, mushrooms and an exceedingly delicious marinara. The ambiance was excellent and had a warm, inviting glow. This is a wonderful restaurant to bring your significant other - a romantic setting. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for Italian done right. And if you desire a place where you can relax and take in all that is good!!

One of the favorite places to dine for the whole family. Superb Italian menu, good wine selection…read more The portions are huge and when I say huge, I mean a starter plate can perfectly fill you, so be prepared to explode if you order main course too. By all means, the best pastas you can eat in Dublin and this comes from someone who is very fussy about pasta:) The place is small and cozy with good music and great service. The only minor complaint would be that it's freezing most of the times, not sure if it's AC problem. Also, they could improve on desserts as none of the ones I tried were good, especially tiramisu, which you would expect to be fabulous in such a fine restaurant.

Just arrived home from Mulino tonight. I went their with my Wife and two teenage children…read more The place is beautifully decorated and the seating is well spaced out. The chef and staff are very attentive and the service is excellent. I ate from the a la carte menu and the others from the early bird menu. 20 euro for two courses. 23 euro for three course. The kids ordered a generous portion of spicy chicken wings which where delicious. My wife had the Bruschetta which I was eyeing enviously until my Gambretti arrived (tiger prawns in tempura batter). Scrumptious. (I would return for the starter alone) We all enjoyed our starters and I had the rump of beef steak for main. Best steak I've ever had when dining. Simply divine. Huge portion. My wife and daughter had the Penne and my unadventurous son had the Pizza. All really enjoyed their meals and we had no complaints (which is a first with fussy eaters) We all had dessert which had been freshly prepared. I drank a bottle of Chardonnay from the varied list. All in All I had no complaints about this beautiful family restaurant and I cannot wait to return. This quaint family run authentic Italian would suit all types from romantic couples to families and parties. I have at last found my quiet little Italian which I will be visiting on a regular basis from now on.

Ìt wasn't that busy for a Saturday- there were quite a few empty tables, but a pianist made the room feel full with a lovely mixture of tunes- so it was actually even better, not having to compete with a noisy room! Would I go back?- absolutely- it was a lovely experience and would recommend highly! salut!

We were very lucky to experience this tiny Italian restaurant on a Monday evening. Friends made…read morethe reservation for the 7pm seating. The service is very friendly, the atmosphere is casual and the food is delicious. We ordered the seafood pasta and the tortellini, a seafood starter and eggplant starter. Daily specials were announced by a waiter with a microphone which was hilarious considering the place had about 5 or 6 tables. Diners celebrating birthdays were treated to an enthusiastic rendition of happy birthday by the staff (one wearing a chicken head!). We ended our zany delicious dining experience with limoncello and were given notice that the place needed to be cleared for 9pm seating. The regulars know the drill, the place cleared out just before 9 as the 9pm diners were waiting outside. Make reservations!!! Also highly recommend you call earlier to confirm your res, and show up promptly otherwise you may lose your table. This is not a pretentious place, pretentious people should give it a miss, their loss!!

Service, food, atmosphere. Nothing to fault about the place at all (well, except that it's so…read morepopular that you need a reservation most days but that just proves how excellent the place is!) Book in advance because the place is very cosy! Amazing authentic Italian food lovingly prepared. The staff all seem to really enjoy their jobs and take pride in their work. Our first trip here took place on a sunny Saturday. We were on the way to Avoca for lunch but thought we'd check to see if we might get lucky with That's Amore. We were in luck! The outdoor tables were unoccupied so we sat in the sun drinking chilled white wine and chatting. We had the bruschetta to start which was just perfect. Delicious juicy tomatoes, fresh crusty bread and a little basil and balsamic. I had the prawn and courgette pasta which was perfect. Balanced flavours and tasty pasta. He had the tortellini with a creamy tomato sauce. It took all of our self control not to lick our plates clean. Thankfully we had been brought some of their garlic and rosemary focaccia to mop it all up. Yum! We were pretty full but the dessert menu was just crying out to us. We had the strawberries and cream which had some meringue in it too. The erect end to our meal. It felt like we could have been in Italy! If you can't get a reservation, don't despair! You can get the food to go as well. The pizzas are also fantastic. Really thin and crispy. Absolutely massive but so good that you won't be able to stop eating!

Was really pleasantly surprised by Fratelli's. Had seen vouchers for it on the various different…read moreusual sites and hadn't given it much thought tbh. Got invited along to an occasion here last weekend and used said voucher. The menu really impressed me, seemed very authentic with many options not often seen at your usual run of the mill Italian. I went for the venison sausage with berry and red onion reduction for starter and wild boar bolognese with papardelle fresh egg pasta topped with parmesan cheese. Both were top notch and I'd recommend both for sure. We finished by sharing the homemade tiramisu and a chocolate cherry cake, both didn't last long, the tiramisu in particular was bloody fantastic. Nice as I've had :)

At one stage there were three in the village but they all closed their doors in recent years. They serve authentic Italian food, with an emphasis on freshly made items like pasta and tiramisu (one of the best I've had). The service is fantastic and there is value to be had in the Early bird or voucher offers to be found on the usual discount sites, though the ala carte menu is definitely on the pricier side. No better (or other!) place to look for a good feed of Italian fare in Swords; you'll get a warm welcome and be looked after very well if our experience was anything to go by!

We ordered two glasses of Barbera wine as our cocktail, followed by calamari, pappardelle al funghi and ravioli Asiago. The wine was perfect and complimented our meal. Our server Massimo brought out some bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar to start our meal. The calamari was amongst the best I've ever had, the breading was light and crispy. Both our pasta dishes were divine and authentic. At the end of our meal we had some espresso and were given complementary limoncello shots. Il Vicoletto was amongst the best restaurants we visited during our trip to Dublin. I highly recommend for anyone looking to eat great Italian food.
