Il Pirata
Simple, rustic, tasty Italian food is the order of the day at this East Belfast eatery. Inspired by the Italian restaurants on Manhattan’s Lower East side and named after veteran cyclist Marco Pantani (‘the pirate’), Il Pirata’s menu ranges from Venetian style cichette to share, to hearty plates of Parma ham and braised beef brisket to devour.
The homemade gnocchi is served with a deep, rich duck ragu, while the Portavogie prawn pizzette is a perfect fusion of Ireland and Italy. Offering up fresh pasta made in house daily and an amazing ‘Porchette’ (pork) sharing roast on a Sunday, trust us, your tastebuds will thank you for visiting.
Bring along your old mismatched china plates they might use them for serving food and reward you with a little complimentary something…upcycling chic!
