This is yet another review from my time in Ireland in August of this year…read more I have to start by saying that I absolutely love Italian food and will seek it out where ever I go...for the most part. Il Sorriso was quite fantastic and authentic - from the Italian staff to the excellent cuisine! Began with a fine glass of Chianti and superbly fresh bruschetta and basil. The main course was Pollo con Panna e Funghi . Tender chicken, perfectly cooked pasta, mushrooms and an exceedingly delicious marinara. The ambiance was excellent and had a warm, inviting glow. This is a wonderful restaurant to bring your significant other - a romantic setting. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for Italian done right. And if you desire a place where you can relax and take in all that is good!!

Start, as they have, with top notch, fresh ingredients. Next cook the very best ingredients simply, and with passion. I could see the other happy diners receive their dishes and the food just looked so delicious. Be sure you complement the key ingredients on the plate with the supporting cast for instance I had Dublin bay prawns pil pil (€11). These are the best cold water prawns and they are just top notch; as warm water prawns don't ever come close in taste. This place served them up with finely sliced fresh red chilli (green chilli wouldn't pair as well) and a garlicky oil that delivered a delicious spice kick with a tangy after-burn mouth feel. The spicy balance was just right and what I really liked here too was their judicious use of garlic oil. I've had prawns pil pil in places where the prawns were over-cooked to dry, hard lumps swimming in copious vivid bright red pimento peppery oil. Here they served me up two types of bread - one seeded & lightly toasted that I used to dip into the chilli garlic oil so giving me a bit of crunch and light, wonderful wheaten bread that I heavily buttered with salted butter and a side salad. My wife opted for their seafood chowder which was crammed with fish and delicious. She also got the delightful wheaten bread. We are so used to 'white' potato based chowder - it was tomato based here so viva la difference. We also had very good cappuccinos (€3) and these came with a little home-made shortbread on the side and this too was a really nice touch. Service was friendly but not overbearing. I've two observations; the raw sliced red onion with the salad on my plate was acrid and as a result it clashed with the other tastes. This is easily resolved though - just soak the fresh sliced onion in cold water (or vinegar) for 10 minutes - or if you want to be posh instead soak them in lime or lemon juice for 10 minutes. The second observation: I didn't notice sea salt on the table, but perhaps it was there and I we were too engaged in my dining experience. In short this place is wonderful and well worth finding even if you are only passing by this town.

Got invited along to an occasion here last weekend and used said voucher. The menu really impressed me, seemed very authentic with many options not often seen at your usual run of the mill Italian. I went for the venison sausage with berry and red onion reduction for starter and wild boar bolognese with papardelle fresh egg pasta topped with parmesan cheese. Both were top notch and I'd recommend both for sure. We finished by sharing the homemade tiramisu and a chocolate cherry cake, both didn't last long, the tiramisu in particular was bloody fantastic. Nice as I've had :)

At one stage there were three in the village but they all closed their doors in recent years. They serve authentic Italian food, with an emphasis on freshly made items like pasta and tiramisu (one of the best I've had). The service is fantastic and there is value to be had in the Early bird or voucher offers to be found on the usual discount sites, though the ala carte menu is definitely on the pricier side. No better (or other!) place to look for a good feed of Italian fare in Swords; you'll get a warm welcome and be looked after very well if our experience was anything to go by!
