The best restaurants serving Italian food in Northern Ireland

The ambience in the restaurant was lovely, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Our order was taken quickly, wine and bread brought (we asked for water but they forgot). However, we ordered a sharing platter of antipasto and had to wait about 25 minutes for it. When it came, it was delicious, in fairness, but given that it was a cold platter, we were puzzled at the delay I was a bit disappointed by the antipasti menu - I travel to Italy a lot and most of the items on the menu were not Italian dishes - confit duck with plum sauce, chicken liver paté, tempura prawns, for example. I was looking forward to authentic Italian dishes like vitello tonnato, bruschetta, insalata caprese... My rigatoni with pancetta and asparagus was very nice, as was my husband's monkfish, and the desserts were lovely too. Overall, a nice meal, but the lack of Italian starters, plus the long wait at the start took away from the experience

I like Efe's for a kebab. Friendly service and the mixed kebab on chips would feed a small army... well, at least 2 people. I haven't tried anything else from there but the kebab never disappoints.

Moonlight is always gorgeous. Beautiful food, not too expensive. Great service.

Not great service in restaurant terrible

Nice place to eat. Bit on the expensive side for what it was but friendly service.

arrived cold, driver was late and didn't follow the directions to my house. ordered dip qad it wasn't provided

Love this place. My favourite local restaurant. Great food and Guiness. Best chocken wings, lasagne, pizza risotto. Food so good. Excellent staff too. Not to mention the view.

It has halal seafood dishes, but ask for this with the order He have some halal dishes with good tasting but you have to ask for it

Fantastic food, great location lovely friendly staff. Always worth the visit!

Fui a buscar comida para llevar a Sunnyside Street, pero se calló. Llamó y le dijeron que se habían mudado a Lower Ormeau Road. Chicos, necesitan actualizar su sitio web. Fui al otro restaurante y pedí 2 pizzas, jamón y piña y un pepperoni. Más de 25 libras me cobraron por salir con estos. Estaba sorprendido, pero esperaba que valieran la pena. Sin embargo, honestamente puedo decir que no creas todo el bombo. Bases insípidas, masticables y duras, pizza no muy bien cocinada, pepperoni desagradablemente picante y grasiento, piña de una lata y jamón barato. Todo un poco artificial y de baja calidad. Muy decepcionado. Definitivamente no creo en todas las críticas o de lo contrario son de personas que no tienen ni idea de cómo es la comida fresca realmente buena. Esto era solo la comida chatarra sobreprocesada de gama baja y muy cara. Desperdicio de dinero, no volverá.

Food was incredible but a big shout out to the service as well. Great welcome, extremely friendly and attentive. Glad I found this place. Highly recommended

As always Mario's doesn't let you down , good delivery time , food always correct and tasty

Great little pizzeria place to visit with an authentic pizza oven. If you're in a group, pre booking is advised as you may be in for a wait. The pizzas are freshly made, and cooked to perfection. Well worth the visit!

Here’s a refined version of your review with improved flow and clarity: The restaurant has a very cozy and beautiful atmosphere, and it never feels overcrowded. The staff and service were excellent. However, the food didn’t quite meet my expectations—I was hoping for something a bit more flavorful. The fish dish I ordered tasted just like something I would make at home. My husband had pasta with duck, but there were only a few small pieces of duck in the dish. We came to the conclusion that pizza is the best choice here, as most guests seemed to be ordering it. I also noticed that there is no dress code some diners arrived straight from the gym, wearing sports shorts and carrying large gym bags.
