Top Best Italian Restaurants in Londonderry

"Opened in 1995 by husband and wife team Claudio and Maureen Antonucci, La Sosta has been delighting local diners with its delicious Italian cuisine for over two decades. Inspired by the culinary traditions of Claudio’s native Abruzzo with a distinctly modern twist, La Sosta’s menu features standout dishes like the risotto starter with mascarpone and red cabbage and the seabream main with roasted fennel, olives, cockles and thyme. With indulgent treats like traditional homemade tiramisu and hot chocolate pudding with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce to finish, diners with a sweet tooth will want to save room for dessert."

"A stalwart of Derry’s eating out scene for two decades, La Sosta on Carlisle Road holds pride of place as the city’s original Italian restaurant. With an entrance hidden down an alleyway on Carlisle Road, once inside diners are treated to a sweeping panorama of the River Foyle. The decor inside the restaurant makes it feel like the kitchen of an Italian farmhouse, complete with wooden timber beams running across the ceiling and an oak sideboard for wine storage."

"Central yet tucked away in a small, out-of-the-way alley, La Sosta is a family-owned Italian restaurant that is worth a little extra effort to find. Depending on where you request to be seated, you might be able to dine with a direct view over the river."

"This traditional Derry watering hole has been a local favourite since 1922 and still maintains its original design and interior to some extent. Located on the lively Strand road in the heart of the city, The Grand Central Bar while it may not seem too grand in size, it surely has a larger-than-life personality, with its cosy atmosphere, friendly staff, great food and excellent beer menu, it is a relaxing place to spend an afternoon. The Grand Central Bar is also known for its infamous quiz nights and live local music with acts from far and wide."

"Established in 1922 and still retaining much of its original character, the Grand Central Bar was reinvented in recent years as a thriving city centre attraction. With its cosy atmosphere, friendly staff, and great beer menu, it is a great place to wile away an afternoon. It’s also a great place to hear local live music."

"Grand Central Bar might not be too grand in size, but surely has a larger-than-life personality: it tends to get quite busy in the evenings with both locals and tourists enjoying a drink or two, or taking part in the pub quizzes conducted here weekly. Some food options are also available."

"The Scullery, is an artisan bakery & coffee house at the bottom of Waterloo Street, & they sure know how to make a damn good cheesecake. The ideal place to kick back, relax & watch the world go by. Also home to two cafes at Magee Campus."
