It offer a great variety of Italian food, from bruschettas and salads, through to bigger dishes such as Salmon and pork main meals. It also provides a selection of ‘smaller plates’ for those with a more ‘pickish’ nature. It’s also licensed, with a good range of beers and even cocktails, so something for everyone
Il Pirata certainly looks as if it will be a firm favourite with the local foodies. Opening nights saw almost a full house, savouring its buzzing ambience. There are no bookings, so its a matter of just turning up .

Had lunch in Il Pirata with my daughter (17 Jan) The meal was excellent We opted for a variety of the small plates. All delicious. First authentic Italian food I have tasted in Belfast I lived in Sicily for 5 years,it was like being back there again. Service excellent Will be back and have told lots of friends about the restaurant
Il Pirata is a great addition to all the restaurants here. However I always wonder when they are going to put up a nice big sign outside, or is that part of the ‘look’ ?
