Italian restaurant in Belfast

“Had a great night last Wednesday. There were ten of us; service was spot on, food was excellent. Special thanks to Grace, Freya and the rest of the team. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Hopefully get back again soon!”

“Excellent meal, which started with the fish chowder served with warm bread and continued with the fish of the day for me and the duck for my wife. Both entrees were well prepared and attractively presented. Desserts were tasty and a delicious end to a memorable dinner. I highly recommend this restaurant.”

“What a lovely spot. On the bustling High Street but a hidden gem (well to us) How did we not know this was here when it's been open for 27 years! It was lunchtime so very quiet but we had such a nice time. Attentive and friendly service and the food! I had the confit duck salad with chocolate mousse for afters. One friend had scampi then doughnuts and the other had the burrata salad starter as a main. All so good! Beautiful room and a lovely outside deck too. We sat well behind lunch closing time (sorry!) but we weren't rushed and really had no idea we overstayed. We will be back!”

“As a breastfeeding mum, Goodfellas was super welcoming, comfy, and no fuss about feeding my baby. The food? Absolutely delicious (the chicken Kiev hit the spot!), with generous portions. Staff were lovely and made us feel right at home as always. Highly recommend for great food and a relaxed, family-friendly vibe!”

“Perfect treat for my sister’s birthday while we visited Belfast. Lovely warm welcome from the host then served by the fabulous Josh, who was relaxed and fun, yet professional at the same time. Thank you Six by Nico for some wonderful food!”

“Lovely staff, good music, tasty food. My partner loved her cocktail and I had a very nice cappuccino. A better American-style meal than I've had anywhere in Craigavon. We'll certainly return.”

“We arrived without reservation as we are visiting Belfast. We explained to the host that we were there for the good reviews on Google Maps. He was extremely kind and got us a table. Very cozy atmosphere. From our table we could see the dishes being finished very carefully, fresh ingredients. Delicious food, amazing. Pizza even tastier than the ones I've eaten in Tuscany. If I could, I would give 10 stars.”

“Coppi was amazing. I was there for my graduation celebration the week leading up to Christmas and it was so good. Our visit really topped off a really happy day marking the end of my studies in Belfast. We had the choice of ordering from the Christmas menu or the regular menu - we went for the regular. The only snag when I tried to make a reservation was the website not allowing reservation for more than a group of 6, so I had to call. Food was yum - try the nachos and thank me later. Service was attentive. Really can't fault it. Overall, a really positive experience!”

“People were friendly and warm food and hospitality great lots to see, sad in places ,but on woulds and up woulds and build a better city.”

“I visited Zizzi recently and had a really lovely experience. Chef Pepsi made pizza and pasta for us, and both were absolutely amazing. The pizza was fresh and full of flavour, and the pasta was cooked perfectly. You could really tell the food was made with care. The overall experience was great, and I would definitely love to visit again. Highly recommended!”

“A bit crowded but is understandable. The food is great, super fresh and the staff is friendly. One of the best Asian restaurants in Belfast.”

“Stayed in the Premier Inn Belfast in the city Cathedral quarter and walked in next door to the Pizza & Punks for a meal at night. The restaurant is busy and has a nice vibe about it and the pizza with macaroni and cheese as a side was delicious and perfect. The staff were nice, friendly and helpful which made the experience memorable. The pizza was really well cooked and tasty and I would definitely recommend a visit.”

“We visited as a group of friends. Would like to particularly praise our waitress Emma, who we actually met as we were going up in the lift. She accommodated us at our table quickly, and looked after us very well all evening. Emma is a great asset! 5⭐️’s Our food was lovely, ambience great. We will definitely return.”

“Lovely Italian restaurant. They have gluten free pasta option. I have to say pasta carbonara was amazing. 5* well deserved. Place highly recommended. Prices are very moderate. They even have lunch special menu for a discounted price. Very good drink selection even cocktails.”

“Not only is it great service.Its done with a smile! order nearly every week each time its just as nice great quality, quantity & Price! i HIGHLY recommend to any bargain hunter with an empty stomach! Nachos are a new addition to the menu and there slowly becoming my new Favourite! Hidden Gem in East Belfast!”

“Food is delicious, and portion sizes are OK. We have only had one issue when we didn't receive our full order. We contacted the shop and the problem was rectified very quickly and they gave us cookies for free for the inconvenience. Staff are always friendly and booking online is easy and quick.”

“the food was amazing and came so quickly, i didn’t get the chance to wait. The service was impeccable”

“Had a couple of pizzas from the joint yesterday. The dough was fresh and light, and meat feast in particular was great and so morish.”

“I love ordering from this place, they always give extra sweets and little things with nice notes on the lids. This place is great if u just feel in the mood for something sweet.”

“Dog friendly restaurant with a fantastic menu and fry. Back again and this restaurant is to good to miss, still totally amazing”

“Lucky to join a special tasting menu, was not disappointed. Food was amazing and fantastic to hear more about the individual curry dishes. Lamb Biryani was top notch! Service was excellent.”

“Well now, what do we have here? A little slice of Italy has swaggered into Ballymena, donned its fanciest apron, poured itself a cocktail, and promptly stolen my heart. Gatto’s, you seductive little minx, where have you been all my life? Let’s start with the opening act: the Carne Platter — a carnivorous symphony of sizzling, seasoned magnificence that hit the table like a meat-based fanfare. Chargrilled, marinated, and unapologetically meaty, it set the tone for what would be an evening of gluttonous delight. Each bite was a hug from Nonna, if Nonna had a penchant for fire-grilled finesse and a cheeky wink. Then came the main event: the Pollo Alla Veronese — a dish that deserves to be serenaded by a gondolier while fireworks explode tastefully in the background. Tender chicken, cloaked in a rich, dreamy sauce, with flavour notes so intricate they could compose an opera. Every bite was a flirtation with perfection. My taste buds? Positively scandalised and begging for more. Around the table, my fellow diners were deep in gastronomic romance with their own dishes. Pizzas that were crisp yet chewy with toppings as bold as an Italian soap opera. And those sirloin steaks cooked so well they nearly applied for citizenship. Searing on the outside, blushing pink within — the sort of steak that makes you want to write poetry and take up woodcarving. To wash it all down? A few cocktails that danced their way across the palate, charming and boozy in all the right ways. A few pints of Madri added that continental edge — and gave the illusion we were somewhere warmer than Ballymena, at least until someone opened the door. And the bill? Surprisingly reasonable. The kind of total that makes you double check it, nod slowly, and feel vaguely smug about the whole affair. Gatto’s isn’t just great food — it’s a culinary cuddle with a handshake from value-for-money. This was my first visit, and I can confirm with absolute certainty: it won't be my last. Bravo, Gatto's. Bravissimo.”

“Best pizza on the road. Perfect ratio of ingredients. The way pizza used to taste, far better than large pizza franchises that over cooked or undercooked slop.”

“Cannot rate this place highly enough I got intouch last minute and asked for party pack 12 pizzas expecting to be told not enough notice but no they were FANTASTIC straight to it they went delivered ontime and my team loved it big thanks to ciaran and his team at pizza crew unreal we will definitely be back”

“We have been converted! This pizza is now our favourite pizza in Belfast. I forgot to take a photo of the base, which to me is always the most important. It was well cooked, not 1 drop of grease on the box and very tasty. I'm usually a chunky chip gal but wherever they get their potato's - yum! Highly recommend.”

“Have purchased food from Papa Antonio's a number of times and the pizza is some of the best I have tasted. Very well priced too.”
