The staff were all very pleasant and the atmosphere in the restaurant was good - not too loud considering it was quite busy. The location is nice too, especially if you're lucky enough to be looking out over the sea as we were - the view of the sunset was a great back drop. All in a very very nice meal.

The place was packed even though they had just opened at 5 pm. We had the "prawn" appetizer which consisted of 5 dinky shrimp swimming in oil, oh and the smallest slice of bread I'd ever seen. The app came out fast... however, the server just a quickly wanted to take it away even though there were still prawns in the dish. Then, we proceeded to wait 45 mins for the main courses. The seafood pasta was bland and had this terrible fish they claimed to be monkfish. Having had good monkfish, this would turn anyone off of trying it again. We were duped by the "woodfired" pizza, which was barely cooked through and just boring and bland. The only redeeming dish was the sea bass, which was actually cooked well, but still not super flavorful. So, all in all, only come here if you are desperate, have low expectations and aren't in a hurry.

Unfortunately they don't offer a separate, dedicated Vegetarian menu like their sister restaurant Coppi. However Il Pirata do offer a few good, clearly marked Vegetarian options on their standard menu.

The Upper Newtownards Road is a hive of restaurants and coffee shops so you've got to do something…read morereally special to stand out from the crowd, or so you'd think. But Il Pirata is chic and understated - from the outside there is no hint at what is behind the heavy stained glass door - you could easily walk passed without even giving it a second glance but that would be a mistake. Inside there is a reclaimed feel to this hip Italian. The furniture is all made from rich oak and the walls are paneled with what looks like up-cycled wood. This creates a real authentic rustic feel. The menu is typical Italian with all the usual suspects listed - you've got pizza's. pasta dishes, risotto as well as piatto. I actually opted for the Calzone of the day which at £5 was a bargain (Monday to Friday lunchtime special). It was filled with cheese and mixed Italian meats and was just the right size to ensure that the afternoon isn't spent in a food coma. The calzone was served on a wooden board which actually made sense as I was able to cut through the doe without the fear of making porcelain shriek. The service was second to none - the food was on our table no more than 10 minutes after ordering and the waiter even replaced a coffee he spilt a tiny bit of, even after we insisted that it was fine. To me this is the perfect place for a quick working lunch - the food is light and relatively health and they have lunchtime deals on which make it value for money. I also noticed that they serve draft lager and there was wine listed on their menu. I will definitely be back - there was a lovely relaxed vibe and the Italian food was as good as I've tasted in Belfast.

Spaghetti with Bolognese sauce... so good!
Group of us got together to catch up and thought we would try Coppi. We had been here last year and…read morethey have since done a renovation. The place has comfortable seating, combination of booths and chairs. It's a very noisy place so if you're going with more than 2 or 3 people it will be difficult to have good conversations. We were well taken care of by several servers that kept water and drinks coming when requested. We started with the Focaccia with olive oil, Cerignola Olives, and Anchovy Toast, Stracciatella & Marinated Peppers. The starters were well received and everything was very good. We then placed our orders, too many to list here, but I had the pea and ham risotto and a companion had the gnocchi. It was requested that the gnocchi only have the tomato sauce but it arrived with the basil and cheese on top. The dish was okay but nothing spectacular. It was offered to remake it but we declined just for lack of time and holding up everyone's dinners. The pea and ham risotto had whole peas and several small slices of ham on it. This dish was like eating a plate of melted cheese with peas thrown in. It was hard to distinguish the risotto from anything else in the dish. The pistachios had a nice toasted flavor to them but the cheese just over powered everything else. Some of the other dishes ordered were the duck ragu (seemed well received), but the beef cheek dishes were not well received and had a number of comments that the quality and flavor wasn't there. From what we recall from last year not only was the restaurant renovated but so was the menu and I think we preferred the old menu. Not sure there will be a return visit if we come back to the city again.
By far the best meal I've had since coming to Ireland! This is conveniently located in St. Ann's…read moresquare. We made a reservation here a couple days ago and were seated quickly. There is a 4 course meal option here where you can get a starter, a pasta, another main entree (+£5 if you get the steak and +£6 if you get the market special fish, which in this case was halibut and was delicious), and a dessert for £46. I got beef carpaccio, beef ragu with papardelle, lamb, and tiramisu + my friends ordered some different dishes so we could all try a little of everything. The food was absolutely amazing! Service was attentive + friendly! It's definitely not cheap, but if you're looking for a good "treat yo'self" option in Belfast, look no further than here!

I always seem to have enough coins left for one after a night out. The food is delicious, they have a massive selection and it is all made there in front of your eyes. The place is clean and the poor guys working behind the counter take the drunken antics with a good heart. When we lived abroad we often chatted about Lahores and how we missed it.

I had my heart set on pizza by this stage, so looked up Vicinity on my phone, to see if there was anywhere else nearby, and it threw up this wee place (I'd never heard of it before) I got there in a couple of minutes, and was pleased to see there was not much of a queue, so wasted no time in ordering my pizza with the usual toppings, cheese, tomato, peppers and onions.

Don't get me wrong - I know that restaurateurs must cater to their market but I know what I like and a corn, pineapple, ham pea and mushroom pizza - as I was offered in Taiwan not long ago - isn't appealing. I found Little Wing while wandering around Bangor my first night in town and mentally noted to come back before I headed back to the States. When my fiancée arrived a few days later, I suggested we try it. We arrived around 1930 on a Friday night and the place was already fairly crowded, but we were seated in the small-ish and tightly tabled place quickly. Our server quickly brought us menus and took our drink order and then hustled back with them. The wood burning oven near us filled the room with amazing aromas while we waited for a bowl of minestrone soup and an order of cheese garlic bread as our starters, which both arrived fairly quickly. The cheese garlic bread was basically a nearly oval-shaped thin crust pizza - delivered to the table uncut but with a pizza cutter as a utensil so we could cut pieces to whatever size we wanted - with no sauce but with a nice mix of cheese and garlic seasoning. I'm not a fan of minestrone but my fiancée insisted I try it and I was blown away by how good it was. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful and was served hot. By now the place was completely full with a wait for a table several parties deep - arrive early if you have after-dinner plans and are on a schedule. The pizza itself arrived in about 15 minutes which I felt was reasonable given the crowd and the number of "takeaway" orders we saw being collected, including several 24" pizzas in giant boxes. Like the garlic bread, the pizza was delivered to the table uncut but with pizza cutter. We watched it come out of the oven and placed on a flat piece of wood - a nice touch - and brought to our table. The ingredients were fresh and flavorful and the pizza tasted amazing. Everything about the place exceeded our expectations and we resolved to return and explore the menu a bit more on a return visit yet this trip. I've added this small local chain - 4 or 5 Belfast-area locations - to my favorites places list on my visits to Northern Ireland. Well done!

I always go for a chorizo and goats cheese Panini with a coffee to give me that afternoon boost - you can get all this for around £6 - can't go wrong.
