J. T.

Delicious Italian food. Hard to fault the quality. Tortellini is divine.

E. L.

The best food, service and overall experience I've had in a restaurant in years. highly recommend the staff. The chef is top tier. Any occasion too, seen children and babies , people on dates and friends catching up. Greated with a smile from start to finish. Excellent

B. G.

I've been here twice. The first time it was really excellent. The waitress was beyond lovely and the food was really delicious. The calzone, pizzas and pasta were excellent. Service was also prompt. The second time was really mediocre. Service was beyond slow, though it has to be said that once again the waitress (a different one) was super lovely. The starter's (brie, prawns and wings) were decent but the mains were very slow and disappointing. The calzone was a little cold in the middle and when cut into leaked quite a lot watery liquid which caused the bottom to be soggy. The chicken dish was a very small portion that didn't warrant its quite high cost, it was also dry. The pastas were enjoyed though no one was crowing their praises either. The chip portions were also much smaller than last time, which isn't a major deal but continuity is key. Overall, I don't want to be too harsh as the food wasn't very bad or anything, it was just a remarkable amount worse than the first time. Would I return? Probably not.

Went there last week with the family for my wife’s birthday we had a brilliant night food was delicious and the staff were excellent.

E. B.

Great all round experience with Empoli yesterday. I called and to my surprise there was a table free for ourselves and the kids. Food was out of this world. We love Italian food and this was by far the best we had in years. We had a good mixture from pizza to pasta and starters too and could not fault one thing. The service was brilliant and very comfortable setting. Would go back both as a couple or with the family again.

I had to write this review! Visited this restaurant several times and it never fails to impress me. In an area like Swords, where there are plenty of food choices and competition, I must say Empoli is underrated and deserves recognition. Gorgeous tasty food... Both of us had pasta dishes - love the 'tomato sauce'...Service excellent too. Would highly recommend this Italian restuarnt

J. L.

I worked for the meat company who supplied their steaks, always a nice relaxed vibe when entering the place. Finally got to eat here a year later, well worth the time. The missus and myself split multiple portions. Very tasty and reasonable on prices. Would recommend everyone to try! I will definitely be eating here again soon

C. B.

Lovely food here brought my left over pizza home as it was too nice to throw out big portions and great value for money.. very nice staff also will be back again

K. E.

Ordered Pizza from here recently and it was delicious! Loads of toppings, tasty and crispy dough, all well seasoned. My favourite so far in Swords. But maybe pre-order for weekends, we waited more than 90mins on a Saturday night.

K. M.

Ate in here tonight with 3 friends. The quality of the food was outstanding and the hospitality was first class. Would definitely return. Thanks for great service.

K. G.

Amazing food and service Garlic mushrooms for starter,fresh and tasty no frozen stuff here. Lasagne was the best I've had in any Italian restaurant I've been too My wife got the sea bass, also amazing with the dill sauce Waffle for dessert, class.

L. c.

Excellent food. Nice staff. We really enjoyed our meal. We will definitely be back.

a. m.

I didnt know this restaurant existed until their post about not discriminating against anyone. They get a 5 star from me for this alone, the fact that my whole family is welcome to eat without divide will make travelling up from the north of Ireland all worth while. Thank you.

M. M. F.

Excellent food, really enjoyed it. Staff are lovely and so pleasent. Excellent service. Will for sure come back. Highly recommended!

A. C.

I am going to go here now as they don't discriminate. I will support any business who mind their business regarding my non participation in a medical trial. We all still need to eat so 5 stars all the way and see you soon ☺

R. B.

Food was amazing as always, the staff are great, relaxing environment & they don't discriminate 😁😁

D. K.

Recommendation 100%. The food is delicious, good service. Thank you very much 👍

F. W.

First time there ..never tasted lasagne like it .absolutely gorgeous..great service and lovely staff. Worth a visit

F. M.

In here at the moment. Clean, cosy, tasty, welcoming, great music, amazing Pinot Grigio, lovely bruscheta, amazing wings, excited for the pizza and it just arrived, looks amazing, smells unbelievable and I'm loving it. Wait, how many times did I say amazing, not enough. Reasonably priced.

M. B.

The food is amazing, the staff couldn't be nicer, we had a great night!

M. F.

Food never disappoints from this place.The service from the waiter was excellent, very pleasant to deal with. I had the Buffalo wings for starters and had the Lasagna for mains. Highly recommend and compliment to the chefs

D. M.

D.

No discrimination here of people not wanting an experimental vaccine, unlike a lot of other places in Ireland, unfortunately.

s. d.

Really tasty however we was not happy with the service .For about 20 minutes there was no waitress only the chef .Trying to get his attention to order drinks etc was literaly hoping hed look up from the kitchen eventually .I will give 5 stars because it was all i was not happy with however it was christmas week wednesday and if a gang or christmas party walked in you were in trouble .Have a waitress there as soon as you open and do not have a chef serving us its unprofessional i think .Waitress did arrive eventually tho .Food was delicious this was our second time here .I would like to come back again but next time if it is similar with staff i wont be .Thank you.

J. M.

Great food and service

p. c.

Lovely Food,Staff and Atmosphere...

O. H.

Good service pizza base wasn't to my taste

S. D.

Quality food and a great little restaurant

C. R.

The food is ok. It would be a more successful restaurant If It was managed better. The whole time we were there one of the managers sat on a chair beside the kitchen fanning herself. There are always staff standing outside smoking when you walk past. We have had trouble with wine orders in the past. It's a restaurant that I would love to recommend but I feel it's waiting for an episode of Ramsey kitchen night mares to shake it up.

E. L.

Gorgeous food and excellent service. Best restaurant in Swords for many years now.

9. 0.

Great service and great food to match,brought my daughter here for her communion,the staff were very accommodating and one of the girls even gave my daughter money for her communion. Thanks for that, highly recommend the lasagne

L. R.

Have visited this restaurant many times and I have never been disappointed. Food is fantastic and the staff are very friendly. Also really good value for money. Highly recommend it.

E. N.

Now admittedly one doesn’t eat the fixtures and fittings, but the ambience has to count for something. That said, let’s be positive. The pasta was good although the arrabiata sauce was way too spicey for Italian standards - & the pizza base was. Dry good indeed. The menu is limited but I’m assuming that they major in what they’re good at. The service was very good , attentive & charming - but the place is as dark as a Soho strip club. a pity when the food would be so much better to see under good light.

T. l. V.

Myself and my kids always love going there. Spaghetti carbonara is my favourite and our kids love the kids sized pizzas. Can’t really complain. Greeted and welcomed at the entry door. Highly recommend it people with craving for Italian food or not.

C. K.

Went for dinner with my girlfriends and food was absolutely fab! Only issue was that while our waitress was wearing a mask, she didn't have it covering her nose and kept pulling it off completely when behind the bar, so she was repeatedly touching it - pretty much defeats the purpose of wearing a mask!

E. M. K.

Faroz was the owner of the restaurant that I dealt with. An absolute gentleman in the heighest and so helpful. My girlfriend and I ordered spaghetti carbonara and a spaghetti bollogneses . The food was amazing . Exceptional pleased with the food and the customer service 10/10 . This will be my new regular . 5 stars

G. O.

Nice and friendly staff. Good value, excellent portions. Something for everyone on the menus too. My family and I were unaware of this restaurants location but we are glad to have found it. It is truly a hidden gem in swords!

H. S.

We went here last Saturday evening for a party of five family meal. The food was delicious Staff really make or break a restaurant and everyone here is a great example of how things should be done. If you want to eat the best pizza in Dublin i would easily recommend you to try the pizza in Empoli Restaurant.

D. S.

Excellent service, delicious food and competitive prices. Very filling dish sizes to top it all off! 5/5

l. w.

Went with my friends after work for some dinner and was blown away. The staff were so friendly and could not do enough for us. The food was delicious!!!! & at amazing prices! We all really enjoyed the evening and will defo be recommending it. Will be back soon. Thanks guys

C. K.

Had a lovely meal there last night. Very reasonable prices, great selection of pasta and pizza dishes and attentive service. I was surprised it wasnt busier in a friday night. Think it maybe needs more social media marketing. We could have found our new place to eat...

M. B.

Warm welcoming and genuine. Sumptuous food cooked with care and consideration to the individual palate, any request dietary or for us finniky eaters honored and delivered with a smile. Homely and comfortable ambiance always come back❤️

A.

Gorgeous food & such good value, with such friendly staff. A new regular customer!

H. H.

Really really good food. Always piping hot. Staff are very friendly and accommodating.

C. B.

Food ok..5 small garlic mushrooms - chef should've sorted that, tasty but small portion compared to rest of table...steak well cooked. Lovely service & v attentive..good value..just not sure I'd go back when I see the other choices in Swords

N. D.

Excellent night – had dinner with my partner and 2 friends. The food was beautiful and well presented. Great to see it so busy. Will recommend it and will definitely be back.

B. M.

Delicious food for amazing value. Menu has a great selection to choose from and the lunch deal is fantastic value. Excellent customer service. I would highly recommend.

M. D.

We ordered a takeaway and got it delivered. Food came really quickly and it was piping hot and tasted really good. I would definitely order again nice to have something different rather than ordering the same takeaway.

B. L.

I call in a lot for lunch takeaway. Staff friendliness, prices and food all 5/5. I’m yet to sit in but it’s definitely on my to do list as the atmosphere is really nice inside.

N. B.

Slow food service, and some items were straight out of a packet. Not what I expected in an Italian restaurant. Restaurant was full and they appeared to have a busy takeaway service. May be I should have ordered a pizza. Overall for four starters, four mains, three coffees and a bottle of wine bill came to €110.

J. B.

Best food & quality, Best service, Nice staff. Really had a nice time there. I would recommend this to people who love Italian cuisine. The chef has the best recipe. :)

N. B.

For Italian food lovers is not recommended. Very cheese and heavy. Little side salad was full of balsamic vinegar :-( child portion was very big but sadly made from frozen ingredients

K. C.

Food is delicious and the prices are great! The owner is extremely kind and always making sure you're well looked after. 100% recommend!

First time visiting the place and we all had a great meal. The house white wine (pino grigio) complimented the meal and the owner made an effort to make us all feel welcome. Tasty, comfortable and affordable.

A. E.

It's "alright". I've had worse. Worse brought me a pizza so different from the one I ordered I still can't work out how it happened when there were just 2 couples in the whole place and the others had finished eating.
