La Piccola Italia — Restaurant in Limerick

This is one of the most special restaurants you will ever come across. My friends and I were traveling through Ireland this March and stumbled upon this place. It got great reviews, and we had time to kill before our bus out of town. The food was exceptional, and the owner/staff were exceptionally kind. The hit of the night was the owner’s wife’s homemade pistachio cheesecake. One of the best desserts I have ever tasted. One of the members of our party ordered it, we all tried it, and ended up ordering 3 additional slices so the rest of the group could enjoy it was THAT GOOD. The restaurant staff are some of the kindest people we have come across in all of Ireland. When our bus out of town never showed up at night, they were so kind to help us figure it out as it was getting late, our phones were low battery, and most of the businesses in town had closed including the bus company’s customer service office. The cook even had his daughter on the phone looking up additional ways for us to get back to Killarney where we were staying. If you are looking for a lovely meal, a cozy atmosphere, and exceptional service from kind-hearted staff this is the...

We came here on our one night stay in Limerick and had such an amazing experience.

The place very charming, but is a bit hidden. We walked down some stairs and rang the doorbell. Were greated by two very nice and polite servers. It felt a bit like being greeted for dinner at a friends. We ordered the carbonara and lasagna with salad for dinner. The carbonara was good but the lasagna was one of the best I have ever had at a restaurant!

We decided to get some desert. My husband had the tiramisu and I had the coppa amarena (vanilla ice cream with black cheeries). We could not stop eating the coppa amarena. So simple, yet so good.

I have to say, as soon as I sat down I had the feeling of being hugged by my grandmother. It would actually have been her birthday the day we went to La Poccola Italia, and I definitely thought of her when we had our dinner. This would have been a restaurant she would have frequented if it had been available in...

Was told when booking we would have to be out by 8 and that was fine. But the speed at which the food was brought was excessive. After we arrived in one woman was giving out to another of the women just a meter away from us and this was not at all pleasant to hear when out having dinner. At this point thwy asked us to move tables which we did. When seated at the new table i asked for some water only to find lipstick on the glass at my table. The lady taking our order was abrupt and not pleasant. The lady serving our table was a bit familiar calling us love and touching my shoulder from the back before asking me how was everything on way to many occasions. The decor is non existent and the table was far to small and confined. My food was reasonable and that is the...
