Il Pirata - Belfast

We usually come here for family and couple meals and it has never disappointed. The food was good but the service was shocking, after receiving our food the waitress (with purple hair) didn't visit our table for over an hour. Manager saw this and didn't do anything, such a shame

Went here in recommendation of friends. We ordered a Sunday roast beef board for 2. Service was excellent, all the accompaniments were excellent. The best gravy ever! However, the beef was so tough we couldn’t saw our way through one of the slices………absolutely dreadful beef. We may give Il Pirata one more Sunday visit to see if any improvement. Interestingly we spoke to friends who were there after us on the same day and had the roast beef and reported the same issue. Il Pirata……….you need to revisit your beef offering if you are to get repeat business!

Delicious I ordered lemon chicken. Sides of Parmesan fries were excellent. Nice space and staff attentive. Good atmosphere

Very disappointing. The food was pretty awful, especially considering the price. It’s probably the worst vegan meal I’ve had and my husband’s chicken wasn’t good either. I don’t usually give bad reviews but it was so bad I felt like I should.

This is one our local restaurants and we have always had lovely meals. We went before going to a concert recently and we were shocked at the decline. The menu seems to be getting shorter and shorter and therefore, very limited. My husband ordered the duck Ragu with gnocchi a dish he has ordered many times before. He said the gnocchi was very wet and loose and the ragu didn’t have much flavour. I ordered the roast hake with Parma ham and caviar. The hake came out fish and one piece of grilled leek. Then a small jug of cream sauce. The Parma ham in very small pieces was in the sauce and the caviar -I’ve no idea where it was! The dish was bland. Just a nicely cooked piece of fish with a cream tasteless sauce. I gave the waiter feedback saying it was fine but bland. He apologised and came back offering free desserts. We selected one which was fine but again flavour limited. We will continue to visit for Sunday roasts but apart from that there are better places to spend your money!!!!
