"I love Italian food and was happy to try something new as always.Firstly for what it was I thought it was expensive, there's much cheaper similar productions in Cork. The food was bland and extremely forgettable. Without trying to be mean, I felt like I'd wasted a meal and money! I like the set up and what not but when the food itself doesn't deliver it'..."

"When I first heard about this restaurant opening I was delighted. I love this type of food, mezes, Greek, Mediterranean flavours, how could it go wrong. Well, the answer to that question is lack of imagination, the menu isn't inspired in the least and it is expensive. A starter of humous (you must order bread separately) costs 5euro, that's too expensive. Th..." Read more

"I work in a restaurant so I'd like to think I'm understanding and easy to serve, but as the only two people in the entire restaurant on a Friday evening we were left waiting quite a while to get our order taken while the staff stood around.I got a vegetarian pizza and my company got some kind of chicken skewer dish. Upon serving it was obvious this w..." Read more

"I dined at Nosta last night for thefirst time, in the company of several of my colleagues (from a mix of nationalities). We were greeted warmly with a genuine welcome from Evren, who seated us and explained the menu. It is truly a taste of the Mediterranean - a fantastic mix of Italian, Greek and Turkish influences. We got a wine recommendation - the Rioja -..." Read more

"We were looking for somewhere new to try and I came across Nosta. I am vegetarian and my fiance can't eat a meal without meat so often it is hard to find a place that does both well. The food was great and they were so helpful and flexible if you wanted any changes made to a meal they were only too happy to oblige. My fiance also found the food great and it..." Read more

"Nosta is a relatively new restaurant in Cork and a welcome alternative to the usual steak n chips variety. I've been 3 times recently with work colleagues, friends and family. Each group loved it. Dishes are freshly prepared and very tasty, chefs can be seen in the open and spotlessly clean kitchen. I love the meze starter for two and the lamb skewer dish is..." Read more

I also had the Tzatziki to start and thought it was really tasty!My girlfriend had the cheese rolls to start and she really enjoyed them, although she thought that she cou..." Read more

"Been here twice in the last couple of weeks and ate the lamb skewer and chargrilled chicken which were both really good. The wood-fired oven looks great at the back of the open kitchen and makes a huge difference to the taste of the food. Both dishes were unlike anything I had tasted in Cork before and the Turkish bread is another highlight. Service is very..." Read more

"Nosta propone una buona scelta di piatti tipici della cucina italiana, greca e turca. L'atmosfera e' gradevole e la qualita' del cibo buona. Tuttavia, in tutti i piatti proposti nel menù vi è aglio...e sono poche le alternative per chi è intollerante a questo ingrediente..."

"Eat in nosta after seeing it recommended on boards.ie.We ordered the tazatzki to share and were very disappointed. It just tasted like Philadelphia cheese with a little herb through it. If there was garlic you couldn't taste it over the overpowering Philadelphia.I got the mixed grill for main and it was lovely!! Would highly recommend it...." Read more

"I had a mix feeling when I read the other reviews, but I have to say I disagree with lots of them. Nosta is a very friendly restaurant, where the food is excellent.No offence to anyone taste, but if you go there to order the same thing you can find in every other restaurant, chances are it will be ok, but won't change your life. On the other side, if..." Read more

"Heard about Nosta from a friend of mine and decided to give it a go. Our waiter was very courteous and helpful with menu information. The menu was varied and non repetitive with the choices, which is great to see as some restaurants have taken to flooding the menu with options which in my opinion lowers the quality of the meal.I had the Brusc..."

"To be honest we should have booked somewhere to eat on the Easter Saturday weekend, so we spent a lot of time wandering around Cork getting increasingly hungry. However, we finally struck lucky at 8:30 with Nosta- they were busy, but accommodated us without a fuss.Tasty pizzas and delicious puddings in a relaxing ambiance. The service was friendly an..."

"First I need to just say, if you come for a regular old pizza, and then complain then perhaps you should have never deviated from Four Star Pizza. This is NOT a pizza place. This is a tasty little gem that I am thrilled has entered the Cork dining scene! The food is tasty, freshly prepared with a char grill to give that extra bit of flavor! Mediterra..." Read more

"I've come here now a few times, I saw it advertised on a free local newspaper. Myself and my boyfriend got a few mixed starters & their mixed grill plate. We finished every last bit of it we even got ice cream at the end. I'd recommend getting anything with lamb and the rice that they do is really different. The meal came to under €30 and it was g..."

"This is an awesome resturant, with beautiful decor, lovely food and pleasant staff. Our group enjoyed the warm chicken salad, spaghetti bolognese and a salami pizza. The food portions were a little bit small, but very tasty. The waiter was very good at his job and made our meal even more enjoyable."

"This is a nice Mediterrannean cuisine restaurant, with pleasant decor and a good central location. They do a few Turkish dishes (kebab-style meats, lahmacun and three pide offerings). A major plus is a real wood-fired oven; another attractive feature is the staff - they are formal and friendly.We shared the squid starter - it came in a light batter,..." Read more

A l'intérieur, c'est plutôt à connotation turc. Bon accueil, belle salle à la décoration classique, l'ensemble est bien tenu. Le choix des plats en..." Read more
