Best Italian Restaurants in South City Centre

Gorgeous food - pizza and chips (when it arrived, took a long time) and overall good experience. Very friendly staff and very helpful.

Great food and cocktails. Food was delicious and came out really quick, not much waiting between courses. Cocktails were interesting, some ones I hadn't seen before, the avocado, ice tea and dill ones were tasty. Service was fantastic, really nice and friendly staff. I had noted it was for a birthday in the booking and when my partner was away from the table they checked with me it was a birthday and gave us a candle in the dessert and a glass of limencello. Very nice of them, totally unprompted and stuff like this really adds to experience. Would recommend this place to anyone.

Wonderful experience! This is a lovely wine cellar below the Fallon & Byrne grocery. The atmosphere is cozy and yet vibrant. The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. Simon was of great assistance selecting the perfect wine to bring home. He’s wonderful. There is a wine list on the menu or you can select from their wide variety on the shelf for a corkage fee. The food was delicious. We had the peppers and focaccia for appetizers- really great. The bolognese was good but a bit undercooked ( and I like Al dente). The pizza was superb. Go, you’ll love it!

Booked an early dinner for 2 people midweek. It was a small anniversary celebration for us. The restaurant was very quiet and we were greeted warmly and friendly by the host who assured us we could store our wheelchair without needing to bring it down to the table. Server was super friendly and personable. Our drinks and food came extremely quickly - right after our bread (fresh focaccia and olive oil) and drinks had just been brought. The food overall was delicious and very high quality. I had pork belly and sausage bucatini and got a full piece of pork belly on top of the pasta which had a delicious creamy sauce. My husband had pizza and ate every scrap of it. Also had a side of cheddar bacon fries. Yum! We got 2 desserts - mulled wine poached pears and a caramel sundae (couldn’t convince hubs to get the Christmas putting parfait with eggnog anglaise!) and a couple of cokes and a mocktail. Value was good for what we got - I did note a few items on the menu were quite highly priced a steak over €40 for example but that seems to be the norm now of extremely overly priced select items. Overall a delicious meal, friendly, attentive staff and a nice interior / vibe / decor in the place. My only small complaint was it was pretty cold - needed my jacket put back around my shoulders during the meal, It was the start of the freezing cold weather outside this week so maybe hadn’t thought to get heating going inside just yet! Otherwise no real complaints and will certainly be back ! Thanks for a lovely evening at Isabelle’s.

Terrific service by people interested in their customers… Extensive wine menu can be daunting but they are happy to help. Food is good, if not absolutely amazing. Very enjoyable.
