Impasto 48

In Kilbarrack, Dublin, Impasto 48 keeps things simple and satisfying, channelling the easy pleasures of Italian-inspired comfort food. It's a neighbourhood spot where the promise of a good slice or a steaming bowl of pasta draws families and friends around the dinner table.

Pizzas lead the way, from a classic Margherita to pepperoni, with a focus on familiar flavours done well. Pasta follows suit: spaghetti carbonara is rich and silky with pancetta, parmesan, and egg yolk, while tagliatelle bolognese brings homely comfort. Lasagna is also layered with Irish beef bolognese for an extra nod to local taste.

Starters and sides keep dinner convivial, featuring buffalo wings with blue cheese and celery, garlic pizza bread to share, and crispy skin-on fries or garlic cheese fries. With a dedicated kids' menu of mini pizzas and spaghetti favourites, little diners are welcomed just as warmly as grown-ups.

Book in, bring an appetite, and let Impasto 48 do the rest - a slice of fun, a swirl of comfort!
