If you're in a town named Limerick, you expect to see plenty of leprechauns gallivanting about searching for their pots o' gold as they recite their, what else, limericks..."There was once a guy from Nantucket..." But no, laddie, t'is not the case here as it's a bustling little city with a pretty dense downtown where parking is at a premium. Jamie W. and I arrived here for a lunch stop on our long road trip between Dingle and Galway in the western part of Ireland. I thought Italian might be a nice change from all the pub fare we had been eating in the past three days, so I found this place on the Yelp app. It was a rather generic but contemporary and clean-looking spot where we obviously missed the lunch rush since the place was empty save for two pregnant women with their toddlers running in circles. The menu is mostly pasta, four different pizzas and some share plates. I decided to get their €7.50 take on the starter-size Classic Caesar Salad. Baby gems instead of romaine lettuce and a creamy garlic dressing instead of a real Caesar dressing. It was a plentiful portion with croutons and grated Parmesan, though it had too much pancetta if there can be such a thing (photo: http://bit.ly/2fpsMXJ). Without much rationale, Jamie ordered a €2.90 side of Garlic Bread with Cheese (photo: http://bit.ly/2fH949i). That struck me as redundant since we already got free bread and ordered individual-size pizzas. Jamie's was the €12 Napoli, a Southern Italian classic ladled with tomato sauce with pepperoni, mushrooms, onions and mozzarella on top (photo: http://bit.ly/2fihAP2). Mine was its Northern cousin, the €13 Venezia, an interesting mix of flavors on the same tomato sauce but with prawns, mussels, Parmesan, mozzarella, and a lot of arugula on top (photo: http://bit.ly/2eOQvT8). I rather liked mine for the seafood elements contrasting nicely with the peppery flavor of the arugula. Jamie's pizza was comparatively more pedestrian. Now it's time for me to do my leprechaun jig. FOOD - 3 stars...decent enough pizza with the North seizing victory over the South AMBIANCE - 3 stars...modern and quiet SERVICE - 2.5 stars...a bit passive perhaps because it was after the lunch hour TOTAL - 3 stars...Italian in Limerick is not that magically delicious read more

This restaurant never disappoints ! They have got it all from lovely staff to ready to go meals at the front , fresh produce and AMAZING food! I especially love coming in the summer months you really see this place rocking. My fav pho dish is there carbonara . read more

The pasta is well cooked and flavorful. I had pasta shells with a creamy pesto sauce and chicken. SO GOOD! The garlic bread with cheese is just as yummy as it looks. The portions are huge and fairly priced. My husband had the Mona Lisa pasta. He liked it but I didn't care for it. It reminded me of a gravy sauce. It had some nice spices and was fruity at the same time as spicy (my husband's description). We shared the brownie dessert which was delicious. Not too sweet but very rich! Overall my favorite stop while visiting Limerick. read more

Had the lasange. Was great and cooked to perfection. The restaurant was empty and quiet when I got there, and I liked how the servers weren't too pushy after asking if everything was alright. Every so rarely, I'd overhear one of the servers sing along to the music which was quite endearing. No complaints! read more

Bella Italia - Lasange! - Italian Near Me - Limerick, LK

Bella Italia is a nice authentic restaurant, located right in the middle of town. I went with my girlfriend for some good old Italian thin base pizza! I was actually pretty disappointed with the amount of variety they had on the menu, especially for vegetarians. There wasn't a whole lot other then pizza to choose from and it was a little pricey. The pizzas were nice, nothing too special to be honest, but still far better then a lot of pizza places in town! I ordered the quattro formaggi pizza and my girlfriend had mushroom and red onion. I was kinda just in a plain mood but the 4 cheeses sounded pretty good; Brie, feta, mozzarella and cheddar. We shared dough balls to start which perfect to share, not over filling and came with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. I really wanted to try the bruschetta but felt it might fill me up too much as we did order a pizza each! The staff are very friendly and what's great is you can also buy cold take out dishes to heat up at home! Must try one sometime :) worth checking out and having your own opinion on the place read more

This place is perfectly tucked away in town, and a must see and do if you're in the mood for Italian. The menu is extensive and not super expensive. I loved the options for pizza - I tried the meatball, ham and pepperoni and it was great. I'd highly recommend the Cajun chicken too. The service is great. Waiters are pretty attentive. The ambiance is all candlelit- perfect for a date or a small family din out. Loved it! read more

This is absolutely the best restaurant in Limerick. My family has been coming here for years (12+ for me, my parents since it opened in the 90s), and the food has never disappointed. The staff are really friendly too. I usually get the tagliatelle polpette, or the conchiglie pesto al pollo. Both are phenomenally good and I never get tired of eating them. Their boscaiola is also amazing, as is their bruschetta, their pizza, their garlic bread....... everything. read more

Had been there several times before & had great experience and must say this time it was very disappointing. Very long wait for meals. Had two kids with us, they got their chips served last, while after we all got our mains. One particular waiting staff member as very rude. Meatballs- tasteless, no seasoning or spices whatsoever. Sauce was the same. Dont think I'd go there again. Very disappointed. read more

Good spaghetti carbonara, and fish stew. Loved loved the yogurt dessert with fruit, nuts and dark chocolate!

I really love Bella Italia. I've been here three times, and my favourite was to sit outside. Of course, it's not that beautiful June afternoon anymore, but the inside seating is just as nice. It's a little bit slow, the service, and for a large group we were starting to worry that we might be looking at being back late to work, but thankfully we weren't. My go to is the Pollo e funghi tagliatelle, which I could eat forever and ever if obesity wasn't a thing. The garlic bread is yum, the pizza looks incredible and they have lollipops at the counter when you pay. What more is there really!? read more

The service was the best I've had in over a week that I have been in Ireland. Beautiful little resturant. I had the soup to start and the lasagna for dinner. They were both fabulous. The lasagna was very meaty and hearty and bursts with flavor. My husband had a pizza. He is very picky about his pizza and ate every bite! Highly recommend. read more

Fresh. Authentic. Classic. Perfect for romantic meals. Well lit. Attentive staff. Clean through out. (I used the restroom) portion size adequate, salad could of used more basil, breadsticks should be improved. However this is nit picking. If your looking for Italian, a nice atmosphere, and good food made with love you will be pleased to drop €50 for a very enjoyable evening. read more

Good good. The fried risotto bald were delicious. Get there early for the early bird special which is reasonably priced

Unbelievable cheese pizza. Definitely will return to try much more Italian on this menu!
