Suzi WaddellOctober 7, 2014Always 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 CollinsApril 24, 2013The 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 PirataOctober 25, 2016Check out our fantastic value and delicious 352 lunch menu. Available Monday - Friday, noon - 4pm. £3 starters, £5 main courses, £2 desserts
Ellen PickettJune 18, 2016Best steak I've had in ages, but personally I'd ask them to hold the salt on the fries...
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 TongApril 19, 2014Drink 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 McMillanNovember 3, 2012Lunch: 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 PirataApril 3, 2017We have an awesome vegetarian & vegan menu available every day too, check it out on our website or social media pages!
My favourites in order: 1) prawn pizzetta 2) duck ragu 3) prawn linguine 👌🏼
There's a Sunday Sharing Roast on... well Sunday obviously. You should totally do that thing if you have someone to share with- Brendan CoyleMay 5, 2013For dinner or for lunch, this place is great - check out of the brisket ragu & definitely try some of the polenta chips!
Keith BelfastMarch 24, 2014I have it on good authority that there is a GF menu and even GF pasta. Good lads.
Erin TinsleyJuly 29, 20143-5-2 lunch time menu. (Mon-Fri 12-4 ) £10 for a 3 course meal. Amazeballs!
Noriko MedinaApril 28, 2013Had lunch: Today's special-Squid Sauté and Italian bread with tomato paste. Reasonable and amazing meals!
Eduardo SaizApril 11, 2015Staff 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

"Try 5 ciccetti to share: all divine.If you can't make your mind about the main (cos let's be honest- it all looks amazing) they'll let you get 2 pasta dishes- duck ragu &smoked chicken tortellini 😍😍"
Vanessa Zammit - 8.0
"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 - 6.1
"Lovely restaurant! The food was cooked to perfection, the decor is lovely and rustic and the staff couldn't be more helpful! Had a great time! Will definitely be back :)"
