This is a lovely find in Belfast, conveniently located 5 mins walking distance from the Hampton Inn by Hilton Belfast as well as a train station. They offer breadsticks with a delicious spread to dip it in. Food: I had the buffalo chicken wings, not really spicy yet flavorful, the prawns- which by america's standard were really baby shrimps & a Margarita pizza. The menu gives you the option to pair your food up, which was great for me. The service was prompt and friendly. I would definitely return to this restaurant when in Ireland

Opens at lunch. Amazing service but it was probably because it was just opening and it wasn't busy. Portions are huge and it was pretty good. I think the downside was that they didn't have to go boxes in stock and I know that there's this whole eco friendly thing going on, but the portions was humongous and there was no way we could finish our meal. They spent a lot of effort finding containers for our food. Despite the containers being just plastic boxes with lids unlike the traditional to go containers, their efforts are greatly appreciated

Fennel sausage pasta

Delicious pasta, garlic butter pizza, and ambiance was really nice. The people working there were extremely caring and courteous and they even asked if we had any allergies before we started our meal. The waiters are very attentive and helped us book a cab back to our hotel. Great place to get late dinner in Belfast.

Our last dinner on our trip was very satisfying in stopping by in this spacious, busy restaurant. Although without reservations on a Saturday night, the host invited us upstairs to have a drink at the bar while we awaited our table, which wasn't too long. Martin, the bartender, was a joy to talk with as he served us our drinks. Our waitress was also very sweet and attentive. I loved the setting for it's comfortable seating and funny artwork. Only thing I really did not like is the spotlight shining straight into my eyes where I sat in the corner booth upstairs. I actually would shield my eyes a few times as I conversed with my friend across the table. Food was delicious! (Except for the tuna with crackers they serve when you sit down.) Definitely a great place for Italian food! Pics attached: Carbonara (top) creamy, hugs your tummy. Scampi (middle) btw, these are baby shrimp NOT prawns, very tasty. Sea Bass (bottom) flavorful and light

Skinny pizza - cauliflower crust with salami and ham and mushrooms

I'm rounding up here because I REALLY like what they're doing here as a policy. This is a nice casual Italian restaurant, with a fantastic kids menu (make your own pizza!). What I really love though is the focus on healthy dining here. They've got cauliflower crust as an option for your pizza - it's not a great substitute if you're craving a crispy crust, but it was good and a nice change of pace. They'll also spiralize some zucchini & carrots to substitute for pasta in some dishes as well. My salmon special was wonderful and light (requested none of the pepper sauce listed on the menu), with deliciously roasted fresh tomatoes and gnocchi. Our particular server on our visit was rather surly though, but the rest of the employees we encountered were friendly. I wish the kids menu would allow the ordering of only the entree, but it's a 4 course thing they've got going on instead (which I think is way too much).

See all

Two weeks ago 150 extra special folk were wined and dined at the newly opened Italian restaurant…read morethat is Tony Macaroni at Victoria Square, Belfast. It occupies the prime spot out of all the restaurants in Vic Square, the iconic glass corner tower ( ex Chiquito). Tony Macaroni is a large Scottish (Glasgow) chain of "Real Italian Food" run by Sep Marini. This is the second one in Northern Ireland (after Bangor). I brought my daughter as my plus one, a welcome distraction from AQE preparations!! She was so thrilled and excited as it was a surprise for her. The interior has all been totally refurbished with the main features being the bar and the open kitchen. On arrival we were very warmly met and seated by the Manageress. There was Prosecco on arrival but I opted for the sparkling water and Fanta for my daughter. The menu was very extensive, with lots of mouth watering, Italian named dishes and my daughter immediately spotted the calamari whilst I opted for the Gamberoni (prawns). After a few minutes our dishes arrived and looked incredible. They were big portions!! The squid was juicy and perfectly cooked and the garlic mayo and sweet chilli sauce accompanied them well, whilst the prawns were subtly flavoured with lemon, garlic and white wine and served with sticky rice. It didn't take us long to finish!! Spaghetti carbonara is a firm favourite for my two daughters and for me I love calzone, so I ordered the Americana and my daughter insisted on chips (I tried to dissuade her as I suspected the portions would be large). When the dishes arrived I was certainly right about the big portion sizes!! The carbonara was excellent (my daughters honest opinion!!) and I must say did taste excellent!! The chips were big fat fellows. My calzone was a bit plump round the edges but bursting with filling- the sausage, bacon and ham bursting out along with the tomato, cheese and onion and was tremendous! Alas bellies beat our eyes and we had to stop and leave room for desert!! We asked for the rest to be packed (so no 2 daughter wouldn't feel left out!!). For sweets my daughter chose the white chocolate sundae whilst I was recommended the toffee tablet cheesecake. When they arrived my daughters eyes lit up!! She immediately went to work, like a busy beaver, deconstructing it, peeling back the layers of cone, mint, cream, raspberries, vanilla and strawberry ice cream until the treasure of white chocolate was unearthed at the bottom. Meanwhile my toffee tablet cheesecake, topped with raspberries and blackberries and served with a pot of cream was equally indulgent. "Tablet" I hear you say, it's not medicinal but is what our Scots friends call butterscotch fudge. There were nice chunks on and in the creamy toffee cheesecake. The biscuit base was quite thin and the addition of the pot of cream was maybe too much!! This was all washed down with a cappuccino and hot chocolate. Well we could hardly move after all that!! The food was excellent and service was slick. We were given a nice gift bag containing a glass and bottle of Prosecco (for the wife of course!!) as well as the remains of the spaghetti and pizza (for no 2 daughter). I shall definitely be back with the rest of the family as there are a few dishes I want to try and I love the Presto menu for £5.95 (£6.95 on Sunday) and the breakfasts and the "Go Jimmy style" of having pizza/pasta half/half, a great way to share.

I dined at Amici tonight with a crowd of friends and the food was delicious. I started with…read morebruschetta which was fresh and light. My main of wild mushroom risotto was the richest, most flavoursome I've eaten in a long time. A light, floral, Italian Pinot Grigio (La Plume) complimented the food perfectly. Restaurant decor is white and bright but still feels gentle on the eye making for a pleasant atmosphere. Definitely a continental vibe which is delightful on a grey, autumnal Belfast day. I would almost have given Amici 5 stars but a few things really, really let this restaurant down. I was dining with a party of 6 and arrived first. Whilst seated at our table waiting for the others to arrive the waitress didn't bother asking me if I would like a drink. She didn't ask if I wanted to order a drink until another person in my party arrived. This was exceptionally poor service. I couldn't even get her attention to order something as she initially showed me to a table then promptly disappeared out of sight. We specifically went to Amici to try their Pre-Theatre menu of 2 courses for £12.95 which is clearly advertised on their website. However when we asked to see this menu Amici told us their website was out of date and the Pre-Theatre now £15.00. This is false advertising and very bad practice. Amici should have honoured their £12.95 menu when we highlighted we'd seen it advertised. Again, poor customer service, as well as shoddy marketing. They need to get their website updated urgently. At the end of our meal when we asked for our bill we also enquired if we could use our Perks Cards. Amici's website states "We are now accepting the perks card. Card holders will receive 10% off their bill and a homemade limoncello (not to be used in conjunction with any other offer)." Though as their website is not maintained we were unsure if this was even correct. We thought we'd ask anyway. Our waitress, a different Lady from the one who served us initially, seemed very uncertain. She did point out that the Perks Discount was a per person discount and one card could not be used for discount off the total bill. We advised her this was fine as each of us had a Perks Card anyway. So off she went to check if we could avail of the Perks Card offer. We waited quite a while for her to return. Eventually she returned with our bill, on which we had been granted a 10% food discount. The discount whilst off food was not off drinks, which is fine but again this is not clear on their website. Plus we didn't get a homemade limoncello as their offer states, but hey, it's hard to know with a place like this where you stand! I was initially thinking of giving Amici a 4 star rating. It's a shame, as my food was definitely 5 star food. Sadly, the poor customer service, false website advertising and mild disdain from the waitresses when we enquired about special offers have dragged the overall rating down. I think for me Amici is definitely a 3 star restaurant.

Amici is a great wee restaurant. Its on the slightly 'less trendy' part of the Lisburn Road, down…read morenear Queen's MBC. You may miss it if you blink when passing but is directly across the road from Ryan's bar. So Amici is an Italian restaurant with a nice simple clean décor. There are some lovely 4 seater booths and a few other tables and chairs. Its a very pleasant place to sit and enjoy a meal and some wine. Like any Italian there is a whole host of things to order off the menu including a wide selection of pasta and pizza. I can't attest to the wine quality as I was having a sober evening but I have it on good authority that it was good. For starter I got the Zucchini Crisps. They were delicious batons of courgettes in a thick batter and fried till crisp. Very well seasoned and quite light despite the batter. They came with a delicious Balsamic dipping sauce. I'd highly recommend the started to anyone as it wasn't heavy and made a perfect kick off without filling you up before the main. For my main I ordered the Aubergine, Sun dried tomato and spinach pizza. The pizza itself was great, a slightly thicker base than some places. My only downside was that it was very slightly overdone. It was slightly burned on the bottom. Other than that it was very fresh and very tasty. The other mains my party had all came out well presented and there wasn't a bad word said about the food. This is a great wee gem on the Lisburn Road and because it doesn't seem rally well known yet its a great place for the adventurers out there to go explore and discover. I would have given 5 stars but the website was incorrect promising a pre-theatre menu at 2 course for £12.95. On arrival we were told this and it was 2 courses for £15.00. They did however let us use our Perks card so there was a bit of balance there, however I definitely think if you are changing an offer the first place to update should be your website!

Il Gusto Ristorante - Mussel starter

So impressed!…read more There's a new addition on the Lisburn Road and it is definitely a welcome one. Il Gusto is a modern Italian that packs a punch. We went for dinner here last week and it couldn't have been better. First up, the decor is modern, confutable and stylist - a delicate balance that's hard to create. It's a relatively small restaurant seating maximum forty people. This small set up creates an intimate dining experience, perfect for couples. The menu is great - there's all the Italian favourites with some additional dishes such as mussels. For starter I went for Caesar salad which came fantastically presented. It was loaded with thinly but bacon and tender chicken. The portion was just enough without being overly filling. A great set up for main. I went for pizza for main and my girlfriend went for tagliatelle so we could mix and match. The pizza was incredible spicy, but that's exactly what I was after. The tagliatelle was great, loaded with chicken and spicy peppers also giving it a real authentic flavour. Although we were full we couldn't resist having dessert. Once again we mixed and matched. I ordered chocolate fudge cake and my girlfriend went for cheesecake. Both delicious. The coconut ice cream was incredible - a must try! I can't recommend Il Gusto enough. You won't be disappointed.

This place gets a full five stars from me - I'm already planning my next visit.

Lunch is served from 12pm - 3pm and includes a Pasta Bar with your choice of pasta and sauce for £5. I opted for the Rigatoni Arrabbiata adding brocolli and mushroom, these two additions added £3 to the bill which seemed a bit overpriced so probably best to stick with the straight pasta and sauce. The dish was very well presented and fresh parmesan was offered which completed the dish. Overall was quite tasty though the pasta was mildly overcooked. But the food arrived promptly and service was friendly. The americano I ordered afterwards was also quite nice. They do not offer filter coffee. In summation a very pleasant and reasonably priced Italian cafe/bar. They also do cheap takeaway of the pasta of the day.

The menu isn't extensive but all pasta dishes are freshly prepared and full of flavour. I'm a woman who likes her food and portion sizes are ample. At lunch you can order whatever type of pasta and sauce and it's cooked fresh for you. Absolutely delicious! and price wise £5 for a plate of fresh pasta is good. The lasagne is one of my favourites and there are always daily specials on the board. The house wine is sourced by the owner and comes in bottles with a quirky cartoon pic of Mr Deane himself. Nice touch! I have eaten both lunch and dinner here. The service is good and efficient without being intrusive. Parking during the day can be a bit difficult but not impossible and in the evenings it's usually easy to get parked on Lisburn Road. Definitely worth the trek well not so much a trek really if I'm honest and I do prefer it to city centre. If you want a quiet drink after dinner there's loads of great bars within easy reach but that's a whole other review so watch this space!
