Wow, this place was a great random find. We were walking around downtown Malahide on our last night…read morein Ireland and this was one of the few places that listed GF options. We decided to give it a shot and I'm so glad we did. The owner and staff were super friendly and attentive. They assured me they would take every precaution to avoid any cross contamination and even brought me out gluten free garlic bread. I decided on the seafood dish and my husband got the pizza. Everything was delicious and very fresh. My husbands pizza was loaded with meats and he said the crust was great. My portions were very hearty as well and I couldn't even finish all the fish. They brought us out a shot after dinner as well, which was Italian coffee mixed with liqueur and whipped cream. It was delicious and the perfect way to end our meal.

Was really pleasantly surprised by Fratelli's. Had seen vouchers for it on the various different…read moreusual sites and hadn't given it much thought tbh. 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!

Superb Italian menu, good wine selection…read more The portions are huge and when I say huge, I mean a starter plate can perfectly fill you, so be prepared to explode if you order main course too. By all means, the best pastas you can eat in Dublin and this comes from someone who is very fussy about pasta:) The place is small and cozy with good music and great service. The only minor complaint would be that it's freezing most of the times, not sure if it's AC problem. Also, they could improve on desserts as none of the ones I tried were good, especially tiramisu, which you would expect to be fabulous in such a fine restaurant.
