Our Guestbook
“ If you have had your fill of fish and chips, Irish stew, and fish chowder, and craving great Italian food, Terra Madre is the place. Located below the street level, this small and quiet restaurant serves amazing Italian food and wine. We had a gnocchi dish, along with a mushroom and truffle ravioli entree. Just fabulous taste and the Chianti only added to the experience. Service matches the food quality with quick seating and turn around on the main dishes. Finished the night off with Tiramisu. Italy, watch out, Ireland is knocking on your door step. ”
“ Service was friendly and amazing! Small menu, everything prepared well! Definitely need reservations. Tables are small but cozy. Restaurant holds about 8 tables. Our burratta appetizer was enough for four. We had one more appetizer and three desserts. One friend ordered primi and a secundi plate. He was stuffed and couldn't eat dessert. We go here every time we come to Dublin. Other reviews suggested the cherry panna cotta. I ordered it. It was the best of the very good desserts. ”
“ Cute tiny hole in the wall place, almost hidden off the Main Street down a set of stairs. The food was excellent and the owner/chef who was serving us was very kind. Would go again. ”
“ Minimalist, eclectic, and authentic....well worth it! You honestly feel like you're in the owner's (small) house for a family event. Don't expect a vast menu, but what ever is on it will be delicious. ”
“ Some of the best homemade pasta I've ever had! I'd highly recommend trying the Truffle ravioli and the mozzarella antipasti: every single bite was fresh and extremely flavorful! ”
