1. Terra Madre
You truly haven’t lived until you’ve sampled the pasta in Terra Madre. Divine.
2. Rustic Stone
While not strictly and Italian restaurant, Rustic Stone does have a sterling selection of pasta on its menu including Pork Pappardelle and Truffle Taglitatelle.
Mamma mia.
3. Manifesto, Rathmines
Manifesto may be better known for its sublime pizza offering, but the restaurant is killing it in the pasta game, too.
4. Da Mimmo
If you’re looking for authentic Italian pasta that will make you feel like you’re on holidays, look no further than Da Mimmo. It is… Da Business. *ba-dum-tish*
5. Mario’s, Ranelagh
The pasta from Mario’s is comforting, delicious and hearty, and makes you wish you had an Italian mother.
6. Pacinos, Suffolk Street
*drools*
Look at how beautiful those meatballs are. Stunning.
7. Dublin Wine Rooms
Doesn’t this look delicious? Well, it’s also gluten-free. So if you’re gluten intolerant/on a bit of a health buzz, hit up Dublin Wine Rooms.
8. Dall ‘Italia, Temple Bar and Dublin 8
Dall ‘Italia bills itself as Dublin’s only artisan pasta bar. Customers can make their own meal by choosing the pasta (tagliatelle, macheroni, etc.), the sauce (ragu, carbonara, pesto, etc.) and the toppings (aubergine, spinach, olives, etc.)
It’s simple and casual, but absolutely gorgeous.
