I visited Il Padrino this afternoon my girlfriend and me recommended by a friend. It is a nice place to eat, the staff so good and friendly. All the atmosphere in the restaurant is familiar.

Delicious food - made fresh to order- excellent wine list - 5star quality and priced according

Fantastic family run business you simply must visit in cork! Booking advisable. Staff working here are a like one big family...you feel the buzz from them.
Cannot fault the delicious Italian fare on offer.
Just special see you soon again please🙏🏼

I had Tortelloni Ricotta pasta( Vegetarian), which is the best pasta I've ever had. Completely satisfied & worth the money
h. b.
Good food at a fair price, great ambiance and lovely staff. Open kitchen- see your food being prepared.
B. W.
Very traditional Italian , you feel like you’re in a little slice of Rome. The waiters are a tad lost but the hosts are sharp and have a very well run place. The food is lovey and very reasonable priced, 4 adults with drink, coffee, mains all for around 25€ each.
B. K.
Manager here is very good and a nice guy (could be the owner), Italian food is fairly straightforward, more expensive than other places in the city for pasta & pizza although it is nice. A lot ofthe dishes taste the same. The decor inside is really nice. Menu hasn't changed in a long time.
D. K.
Had the most beautiful and delicious lunch here today. The staff were so busy but attentive to everyone and the view from our table of the kitchen and how busy but efficient it was , was a pleasure to watch.
T. C.
Food was lovely but steak overpriced for what it was... Also staff members arguing with each other in front of customers didn't go down well... Shame because the setting was lovely... Just a bad day at the office perhaps!
J. F.
Fantastic spot. Staff are all so kind and check in to make sure everything's okay regularly. Food is delicious and the prices are worth what you get. Definitely one of my favourite restaurants in Cork and hands down my favourite Italian restaurant.
G. S. N.
Very pretty place with nice food! Nothing to complain here. The food came out pretty fast. Once I went with my friends without any reservations after a long tiring day of hiking but the staff was kind enough to give us a table for an hour. The food was very good and the taste is amazing ! Try their ravioli. And also the staff is amazing... the wine perfectly matched with the food ! Can’t wait to go again

Went to eat here with the family on our staycation this past week. The food was delicious however the atmosphere was very uncomfortable. You could notice that the staff were working very hard to meet customer needs with one being visibly upset at the managers treatment of their work. The manager had only 4 staff serving about 20 tables outside and multiple tables inside of about 4/6 people. Which myself and few others sitting around could not believe!! While businesses around the country are adhering to government regulations this manager put his greed over the health and safety of his staff and customers and sat table of people inside! I spoke to the manager regarding all of the above and needless to say he didn't seem to be bothered. I would have gone back every night as my children and I loved the food but I definitely won't support the treatment of staff nor do I feel safe as Covid-19 health and safety regulations aren't being met. Absolute shame highly recommended 💯💯👍💯💯👍👍

Absolutely fabulous food and best staff who are so attentive they really look after their customers every needs.

Very elegant restaurant, but anybody can enter. Very nice and kind waiters, fast services. Amazing and tasty food.
They are baking the best pizza I've ever had eaten in Ireland.
M. P.
Authentic Italian restaurant! Food was delicious and very flavorful. The place is very close to the city center and beautiful ambience. Very welcoming staff. I'm satisfied!
R. R.
Food was tasty. Service was poor. It took a while for anyone to come to the table when I wanted something. Also, I hate when places give the cheap Coca Cola and charge 2.50 for a glass of the cheap drink. This was disappointing.
J. M.
Really nice food, atmosphere and friendly staff.
E. D.
Great food. Lovely atmosphere. Very pleasant staff.
K. B.
This is a well established restaurant in the heart of the city . It's the type of place to go if you feel like good honest Italian food. The owner is a really nice guy and the waitresses exude that typical warm Italian personna we associate with this Mediterranean country. The restaurant doesn't baulk at having younger children and in fact welcomes them, which in my opinion is something that any good Italian restaurant should do. The wait time is small and the prices are reasonable, and most important of all the food is very tasty. This place is the ideal spot to grab a tasty afternoon lunch in my opinion.
K. A.
One of the best experiences we had with very friendly staff and excellent food, must try in Cork Ireland
T. S.
I totally recommend their pastas and pizzas. The pasta is not big (well, that is the opinion of an ogre (me)), but the size is good enough for a meal. Prices are in the average.
A. S.
Excellent! Great food, great service, had a wonderful time and meal here, particularly enjoyed the sambuca prawns
P. O.
Had a beautiful meal here and the staff were truly amazing..Top class.Will be back very soon..If you want a good Italian meal go somewhere else,if you want an amazing meal Eat at ll Padrinos....

Amazing food. My husband and I went for a delayed anniversary celebration. It was very busy at the restaurant (for a Wednesday evening that speaks volumes in itself) but they were able to accommodate us. And oh my goodness I'm so glad we chose it. I had the small (however it wasn't so small) caesar salad to start and it was stunning. Unbelievably fresh, sweet and tasty. My husband had pepperoni which he said was also delicious. We both had the same main, just cooked slightly differently, fillet steak strips in a beautiful rich sauce, served with fries and a salad. So gorgeous. He finished his, I couldn't quite manage to finish mine. The portions are very generous. One of the best meals we've had in a long time... And we were so impressed that we've booked another table for two weeks time when my husband is back in Cork again, so that we can take family with us. What a little gem of a restaurant.
D. N.
Had a great meal here with lovely friendly staff. We'll worth calling in
L. O. D.
Try the carbonara, tastier than any I've had in Italy, always go here great service friendly staff.
K.
The food and service was out of this world. I have never been so satisfied leaving an establishment. From starters the dessert and everything inbetween was a night not to forget. Thank you to a very talented chef Ali and to an amazing team that works alongside him. We were treated like royalty. Would recommend over and over again.
A. H.
Fab Italian restaurant in the centre of Cork. Great decor and atmosphere. Large selection on menu and large portions. Coffees and desserts fab also. Great service and value for money. Staff sang happy birthday to our daughter. Loved it. We will def be back again.
N. H.
My favourite restaurant in town and so happy back doing takeaway. Placed an order last Sunday and was delighted with the service and the food was delicious as always. Waiter was wearing gloves and mask and placed the order in the boot for me .
J. S.
Always great food anytime we are there
J. v. H.
We had a lovely evening. There were 4 of us all eating something different, including 2 vegetarian dishes. Each meal was delicious. Service very good and the place had plenty of atmosphere. We would all go again. I give it 4 stars.
A. S.
The atmosphere is great and the hospitality is the best. I will definitely go back there every time I get the chance. So far is my favorite restaurant.
R. S.
Il Padrino is one of these rare places that understand the value of employing a great restaurant manager.
We came at the busiest time. The manager quickly saw that one guest was a smaller child and so still they managed to find space for all five of us at two tables - perfect.
When you walk in the ambience is warm and welcoming, the food is excellent and the service attentive - even with every seat in the house filled we got advice on the wines, were able to try them until we found the perfect white. Despite that we only ordered by the glass.
Another great experience in Ireland.
O. O. R.
Fabulous atmosphere, very helpful, friendly staff 👌

I was a visitor to cork and was taken here for dinner. I enjoyed it very much. I had pizza and it was delicious. They did make a mistake on my pizza but offered to fix it straight away. Staff were very nice. Tables are close together. We had made a reservation so there was no wait time. So all in all great night.
L. B.
Amazing place, good service and the good is really good. Pasta highly recommended
W. V.
Amazing service and Incredible food!! Definitely will be back
V. G.
what a fantastic restaurant..dined here today with my son.. the food absolutely delicious... the decor beautiful.. the atmosphere relaxing and the waiter and waitresses oh so friendly and efficient.... what a beautiful place to dine...
A. T.
My favourite Italian restaurant in the city centre. The food is fabulous (I personally love the calamari and the pasta dishes). The staff, especially the waiters, are so fun and professional. The decor is my favourite though - it feels like you're sitting in a cosy Italian home and it really adds to the experience!
S. S.
My husband and I were in Cork for 2 nights as part of our Honeymoon and we ate dinner BOTH nights at Il Padrino. We were looking for good food because we had struck out for nearly every meal in Ireland so far! And we stumbled upon this wonderful restaurant. All the staff were super attentive and very sweet ESPECIALLY our server Danny. Between him and the amazing food, we made the easy decision to make a second reservation before we even left the restaurant:) I HIGHLY recommend the chicken lasagna! If we ever go back to Cork, we’ll 100% stop at Il Padrino again.
D. S.
On a road trip out west we were getting our fill of beef. We found this very nice Italian restaurant. Excellent pasta and wonderful mixed drinks. If you want to do Italian in Cody, this is the only place. They also serve steaks but we wanted something different, it has a very good Italian menu, expertly prepared. Service was great and the bartender makes a very good Manhattan, she was also happy to share her mixology secrets.

Food was excellent. Been here many times,always top notch. My sister and her husband came with us for the first time and adored it. Couldn't understand why they were never here before. All fresh and made to order and desserts a must. Had the taglietelli al salmone...outstanding. ambience and staff all outstanding also. Would highly recommend it.
M. M.
First time here, absolute gem of a place , food was beautiful,staff were friendly and super efficient even when one starter didn't appear they were so prompt in fixing the mistake .. my only complaint is that I felt a terrible draught where I was sitting but that eont take away the fact that we had a really lovely experience. Will definitely be back .
L. S.
Garlic bread with cheese
B. R.
First time here..... wont be our last. Food was delicious and despite the restrictions the staff were very helpful. Very reasonable price even with the vino
M. W.
Fantastic food, but they seem to lose track of customers and their service really suffers during rushes (more so that one would expect, I mean). Still, would highly recommend, especially if you get there when it isn't too busy.
J. O.
Just left after our second time there. Price is fantastic for such delicious and generously portioned food. Staff are so friendly and inviting. Would recommend for any occasion. Definitely one of the best in Cork.
V.
One of the best Italian restaurant in cork city. There service was good and the food was awesome. Prices are moderate and the place looks like an upscale restaurant.
"Good food and Cozy place for friends and family"

Fabulous food and atmosphere.

We called in to this little Italian restaurant just off The Mall in Cork. It was extreemly busy and we had no reservation. We asked the manager and he quickly look and said we could have a table for two but only for 1 hour. We were delighted to accept. Quickly seated and ordered. Prosecco for my wife and Italian red for me. My wife had the juiciest fillet steak in a wonderful mushroom and cream sauce. I had penne with slices of fillet steak which was cooked to perfection. This Italian restaurant is wonderfully romantic and has a fab vibe. Staff were soo very friendly and helpful. We gave our table back just on the hour much to the delight of the owner. We were visiting Cork for the weekend an regret that this cannot be our regular restaurant It is a little gem. Highly recommend Il Padrino Restaurant for the warmth, great food and all round value. GO TEAM IL PADRINO!!
E.
A lovely Italian restaurant, serving generous size portions. During the week they have daily specials. I'd say price point is a little high but worth it if you want good italian food.
D. M.
Has a nice atmosphere and very friendly staff! Food was just right, especially portion wise and was cooked nicely. Would definetly recommends going back there again if I was in the mood for pasta
M. H.
Absolutely great experience, the staff went above and beyond, and the food was amazing will definitely be back. My new favourite place
B. K.
Wow! What a great authentic Italian meal. My friends an I all ordered different meals, and we all found our respective dishes to be really outstanding. From the pizza to the pasta, it was all good.
G. B.
Wine was good, the building is pretty nice. Pasta was cooked too much and prawns with a cheese sauce matches as ice cream with fries and ketchup. Instead the meat was good and soft. Expensive but not too much.
K. S.
Great food, big portions and great taste, staff very friendly and kind, highly recommend
D. F.
Very good food, atmosphere with friendly service.
M. B.
Food was great and not overpriced. Staff very pleasant
P. G. W.
Amazing and their beer is beautiful, malty and not full of gas. Lost one star because I was cold. Booked at 7 When we were leaving it had warmed up
e.
It was an amazing experience. The food was delicious and the staff are great. The atmosphere was amazing. This is one of my favourite restaurants and I highly recommend it.
L. P.
Delicious pasta, lovely atmosphere here every time. Plenty of space, quite romantic but also a nice place to meet friends. Would love to see more homemade desserts here though
Y.
Great
T. M.
I have travelled all over the world and can honestly say, this is the one you simply have to visit if you like original italian cuisine. No mangey portions, it's measured with love and tastes Bellismo. Book ahead if you can, if not expect a wait as most all of Cork are trying to get a seat here. Expect nothing, only great value for you money and a great dining experience. Come hungry.
A. t. S.
Nice place, authentic feel. I am not huge fan of pasta, but their snacks are awesome! On the negative side - they don't have beer on draft, only small bottles of Peroni
S. R.
Food ambiance and staff first class. We will be back again
s. b.
Wandering around cork City this evening, we stumbled upon this hidden gem. Friendly is an understatement, we began our meal with brucceta, arancini and sambuca prawns. Simply delightful and beautifully presented. Moving onto the mains, my taste buds exploded, you could taste the freshness in every bite. To summarise, simply exquisite. We will be visiting again.
S. G.
Impeccable pizza base and cheese selection. Too much of seasoning in the tomato base of pizza. Oily bread. Bruschetta in the form of panini. Not much varieties of desserts!! Price worth it.
P. S.
Very well situated restaurant in the heart of Cork. The staff is extremely friendly and nice. They speak Italian even :)
The food is very well done, very good mozzarella and pizzas are nice.
Would definitely recommend and come back.
T. L.
We stumbled into this place which turned out to be a delight. The food was great and the service was even greater. We had pasta and Risotto With Merlot. Love the vibes this place has and the beautiful food.
K. S.
Some of the best food I’ve ever eaten. We had the fillet steak with penne and it was incredible!
N. M.
Excellent restaurant and staff. The best restaurant in Cork. Camalle the manager and his team are five star . They create a memorable night matched with the God and wine
B. E. Í.
Great food, good service, accommodated us on a busy night and we enjoyed our dinner very much!
For an Italian the wine selection wasn't great.
I. M. C.
Best Italian food in cork. Latest visit was with a group of 4, all dishes (starters, main and dessert) were excellent. Would highly recommend the tiramisu
D. S.
Arrived off the street. Cosy authentic Italian. I had carbenara and my partner had lamb shank. All was fabulous with a glass of Merlot. Took the tiramisu as a take out for eating later. The prices were similar to others paid in Ireland. Try it!
S. &. C. O.
Great food, wine and service!
C. m.
I love the food here. It's very high quality and very tasty! The staff are great aswell.
B. O. R.
Love coming here for a nice dinner and glass of wine. We are looking forward to booking a night out in the city soon and will definitely be returning to this great spot
r. 4.
The pasta dishes tasted really good. Recommended.
R. N.
Very nice restaurant and friendly staff. Great food.
S. G.
Good - not great
This is a decent Italian. I had caprese salad which came with tomato chopped into very small pieces (?) and loads of oiled pizza base - I had to ask for some sliced tomato.
The main of risotto was good, beef, mushroom and pea, also came with oiled pizza base, very large portion.
The wine list is the usual fair of cheap wine marked up 2.5, a couple of options if you want to push the boat out - €69 Barolo and €79 Amarone.
The online wine list shows a lot of wines by the glass that are not actually available, such as the Barolo and Amarone.
Y. H.
An absolute gem of a place. The waitress was so attentive and friendly. The food is outstanding. Would shout from the rooftops bout the place. Truly.
A. L.
A nice Italian in the middle of town. More than just a pizzeria thanks to its extended seafood menu and decor (which is a little over the top). Friendly staff and well-cooked pizzas and pastas. A bit pricey for what it is, but it's the middle of town, so it's expected.
C. D. l. V.
Very good service and incredible price quality. This restaurant is a pleasure, without doubt I recommend it.

Best Italian restaurant in Cork, Food and service was amazing. I recommend it 100%.
Price very very high.
Something that I don't recommend is squid or Calamares, spaguettis Carbonara best ever.

The food is good. For lunch you can create your own pizza with 3 things to put on top. The staff is nice and the ambiente lovely
M. O.
Excellent. Food beautifully cooked and very very tasty. Staff friendly and extremely helpful. As always an beautiful experience.
P. P.
Nice interior design and pasta is good. It a bit too expensive for what it is. Rest of dishes are okay'ish and defo don't try the Tiramisu, it's pure cream with sugar.

My wife & I were in Ireland for our honeymoon as part of a coach tour. On the Saturday night of the tour, we were on our own for food. We found Il Padrino thanks to Google Maps. It was close to our hotel & we were tired, so the very short walk was appreciated.
When we got there, the chap at the door told us they were booked & smiled as us thinking we could walk-in off the street without a reservation. Once I told him we were on our honeymoon, they were beyond lovely at squeezing us in. A reservation canceled & we were seated next to the kitchen.
To say every course was an orgasm for our mouthes would not be an understatement. Garlic bread with cheese, out of this world. Ravioli Toscani...mind blowing. Lasagne Al Pollo...beyond amazing. Atmosphere & service were amazing as well.
A world class restaurant par none.
J. R.
The lunch menu is very good value for money considering the portion size. The carbonara and the pizza are both very filling and tasty.
A. W.
Lovely food, excellent service and very friendly staff. Will be there again!

Il Padrino is a very special restaurant with an authentic Italian feel. I would recommend it.

N. C. E.
Good food for a decent price. I recommend you to try the lasagna, my favourite dish. They have a lunch menu with better prices than the regular menu.
K. W.
Great service 👍 beautiful food
C. M.
Fairly limited choice of food, not a steak on the menu or a piece of chicken. Everything is in strips in sauce.. bruscetta was nice though.
Very pricey for average food and average service but seems very popular nontheless
D. F.
Thank you Philip for great help. Luici has served us with so much warm. For those who miss Italy or recently came in Cork from there and still in adaptation process this is a great place for transitions.
