Always enjoy eating here & its decent value . Whitebait , Gorgonzola/pear salad and amaretto sour a few faves. Recommend booking at weekends. Could get away with hoodie and jeans or dressed to nines.

Peter Collins

The Duck Ragu and Gnocchi is truly awesome. I challenge anyone to dislike it. The pork slider rocks too! AND they do quality cocktails . Favorite restaurant in Belfast!

Il Pirata

Perfect for sharing! Come with a group and order a little of everything!

Ellen Pickett

Best steak I've had in ages, but personally I'd ask them to hold the salt on the fries ...

Tim Monroe

Try bruschetta-soft, w/a delicate grilled flavour & Fritto misto w/ sardines & crispy Pork Salad . Only dessert disappointed-Panacotta wasn't light n creamy & Tiramisu didn't pick us up. But I'llBeBack

Wan Angela Tong

Drink plenty of water because everything is very salty ! Makes my tongues feels really weird every time I go there but I still love it!

Andy McMillan

Lunch : order 1 large plate + 1 small plate , or 2-3 small plates . Dinner : order 1 large plate + 2 small plates , or 4-5 small plates . Small but exceptional portions.

Il Pirata

We have an awesome vegetarian & vegan menu available every day too, check it out on our website or social media pages!

For dinner or for lunch , this place is great - check out of the brisket ragu & definitely try some of the polenta chips !

The baked lemon cheesecake is amazing. The blueberry cream makes it.

Staff are always friendly and food is good. Can be a bit too dark a nights, ok for ambience but not so good when it comes to reading the menu

Beat lasagne in town... Which is a strange thing to say, but yrue. Picante pizza is the best. You have to try the monster 24 takeaway too. 1 serves 4 normal people, 3 blokes, or 2 people like me. - Tony Millar
