Very good, but missing a few marks to be truly fantastic!
Fabulous restaurant with a wonderful ambiance, it made for a very enjoyable Valentine’s night. The staff were friendly, though not particularly attentive.
The menu looked gorgeous with plenty of choice, and the food itself was delicious with beautifully balanced flavours. However, there were some disappointing details: the plates were cold with visible grease marks, and the side dishes arrived freezing. These are small things, but at a restaurant as good as Rosa Madres, they really should be spot on.
While the flavours were excellent, the temperature issues took away from what could have been an outstanding meal. The steaks side salad, in particular, was underwhelming and looked a little embarrassing, with only a tiny amount of sauce.
Desserts tasted very good, though presentation could be improved, one plate even had two noticeable chips along the edge.
There was no butter served with the bread, and several menu items were already unavailable at 5pm.
Overall, it was a good meal with lots of potential. With a few small tweaks and more attention to detail, this restaurant could truly be excellent. Perhaps it was due to it being valentines night, we might hit have to give it another try.

A must-visit Italian in Dublin!!!
My family came to visit me from Spain and I took them to Rosa Madre. The atmosphere was amazing, they gave us a really comfortable table and the staff were attentive the whole time. The price is totally fair for the portion sizes and, above all, for the flavour. We tried the burrata, the octopus and the oysters, I really liked all and was beautifully presented. The location is amazing too, just a two-minute walk from Temple Bar, so you can finish the night with a cocktail in the centre. My parents were really happy. I’ll definitely bring anyone who comes to visit me here, 100% worth it.

The staff were very welcoming, and the food was authentic and delicious — just as my Italian friend recommended.
The pacing between the starter, main, and dessert was perfect, and everything came out promptly.
I also loved the quiet, classic interior.
I definitely want to come back and try other dishes!

Fantastic seafood experience! The fish was prepared perfectly and was a clear standout, especially when complemented by their expert wine pairing suggestions. While the dessert options are a bit more standard, they still offer a nice finish. I will certainly be visiting again soon!

I have been a chef in an italian Restaurant for many years, and I can confidently say this was one of the best meals I’ve had in Ireland.
The beef tartare was fresh and perfectly balanced, the paccheri ragu rich and full of depth, and the ravioli beautifully made. The tiramisu was an excellent finish — classic, creamy, and well executed.
The staff were very friendly and professional, communicating clearly in English and making the experience even more enjoyable.
A truly outstanding meal that I highly recommend.

Went here for a pre Christmas meal, the venue itself and the staff are all lovely and the wine was excellent. I do have to say I was thoroughly disappointed with the food however. Shared a few starters and appetisers, the crab on toast was really poor and the sea bass croquets were equally poor. The mains were very average and not the quality I would have expected. Given the abundance of good Italian restaurants in Dublin I wouldn’t be returning in a rush unfortunately

We ordered the lobster pasta, scallops, and tiramisu. Everything tasted nice. The lobster pasta had flavorful, al dente noodles in a rich tomato sauce, though the lobster portion was small. The tiramisu was authentic—lightly boozy, not too sweet, moist, and served with ice cream. The staff were friendly.

Had a really good meal at Rosa Madre. Started with the burrata and tomatoes, fresh and tasty, just good honest food. The crab toast was very nice as well, full of flavour and done right.
For the main, I had the fillet steak and it was cooked just how it should be — tender and full of taste. Nothing fancy for the sake of it, just proper food done well.
They also have a huge wine list, plenty to choose from, no matter what you like.
All in all, a solid Italian restaurant with good food, good wine, and a comfortable place to sit and enjoy a proper meal. Would happily go back.

“While visiting Dublin, we had dinner here and enjoyed a lovely evening. We both ordered the lobster pasta, which was flavorful and well-cooked, and finished with tiramisu that was light and delicious. The restaurant was quite busy, and service was a bit slow at times, but the staff were friendly and attentive when they came by. We had made a reservation, so we were seated right away. Overall, a good experience with tasty food and a comfortable atmosphere.

This restaurant had been on my list for a long time, so I made a reservation a month in advance to celebrate our third anniversary. When we arrived, there was a brief wait for our table due to a mix-up with another couple’s reservation. However, we were in great spirits, and the manager handled the situation smoothly, ensuring it didn’t affect our night.
The food was excellent! The crab on toast and seabass croquette are a must to start (not in the pictures). We had oysters and parmigiana for starters, followed by the ragu for my wife and the lobster pasta for me. The lobster pasta was exceptional—the cherry tomato sauce was both sweet and punchy, perfectly complementing the lobster.
We were too full for dessert, but to our surprise, the staff brought us a small treat to celebrate our anniversary. It was such a thoughtful gesture, especially since they remembered from my booking.
For wine lovers, they have a fantastic selection to pair with the meal.
I couldn’t recommend this place enough! The staff was incredibly friendly, the service was outstanding, and the atmosphere was perfect for a special occasion. I’ll definitely be back to try the Gnocchetti Crab!
Ciao!
