"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

"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

"Pur hasard que ce passage dans ce restaurant, il pleuvait et nous souhaitions manger. Nous étions juste à coté et de l'extérieur cela semblait être une pizzeria. 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

"The first time I ate here, I said I wouldnt go back,I got a pizza which was as flavoured as cardboard,cost almost 50 for 2 pizzas and two horrible glasses of house wine you would clean glass with. We tried it again today thinking, we did try just after they opened, maybe its improved, so we got the steak sandwich, the sandwich was nicely presented with a mea..." Read more

"Relatively new eatery in the city centre. My husband has been here a few times and raved about this place. I ate there today with him for lunch and was not disappointed. The stone fire oven at the back of the restaurant tells you that you are in for a treat. We had the lamb and mixed skewers - to die for with gorgeous sauces, salad and rice on the side. Very..."

"My boyfriend and I enjoyed a delicious lunch at Nosta last Saturday. We ordered two of their speciality lamb pides (Turkish Pizza). They were super tasty with lean lamb that was so flavoursome (and no fatty taste that you can sometimes get from lamb). They have a €10 drink and a pizza deal which we availed of and thought was fantastic value (my pizza..." Read more

"We had diner there a week ago with friends. The Greek/Turkish food was good but not the pasta. The starters and desserts are small and therefore a bit expensive. Our waiter and waitress were really nice. Overall we had a good experience."
