Fodor's Review:
We hope you're not shy about being seen eating, because the front of tiny Bar Italia is a sheer wall of glass that looks out onto the Liffey and the Civic Offices at Wood Quay. If the weather is good, snag one of the tables on the patio and grin at the office workers trudging back to work after lunch. The menu is short and simple, but everything on it is guaranteed to be fresh and cooked like your mother back in Naples would have done. The minestrone soup is, without question, the best in Ireland, and the melt-on-your-tongue gnocchi is served in a few different sauces. People travel miles to have their coffee here and the house wines never let you down. They now have a second, slightly more formal restaurant in the new "Italian Quarter," almost directly across the river on Ormond Quay.
