What we’re about
Welcome to "Italian Food and Wine in Ireland"
This group is dedicated to gathering food and wine lovers to taste, celebrate, and learn about Italian cuisine and cuisine culture. Whether you’re here to enjoy authentic dishes, explore Italian cooking, or simply meet other foodies, you’re in the right place!
Anyone interested in Italian food and wine is welcome to join. You don’t need to be Italian—just bring your enthusiasm for great food and good company!
Group Rules and Expectations
To maintain a respectful, organised, and enjoyable experience for all members, please review and agree to the following rules. By joining this group, you confirm that you have read and agree to the following terms:
1. Contact Information
To ensure smooth event planning, members must share their phone number with the organizer. Event bookings may require additional confirmations or last-minute coordination, so it’s essential that all members are reachable.
Please contact Gianni at 0*8*7*2.4.6*7.5*68 via WhatsApp or sms or via Meetup direct message to share your phone number and if you have any concerns. If you’re not comfortable with this requirement, please do not join the group.
2. Email Notifications
To stay informed of group updates, members are required to enable email notifications from this Meetup group, including “Italian Food and Wine in Ireland” and “Fun Food Adventures.”
This is crucial for event-related updates, including any changes to time or location. You can adjust your settings here: https://4142298.xyz/account/comm/.
3. Booking Fee
Some events require a €3 booking fee to reserve your spot. This helps ensure that only committed attendees book, preventing last-minute cancellations that affect other members and the venues. While not all events have a fee, if you’re not comfortable paying this, please reconsider joining the group.
4. Annual Group Contribution
Running this Meetup group incurs costs, and members may occasionally be asked to contribute to cover expenses. While not mandatory, active contribution shows appreciation for the group and its community. If supporting the group financially doesn’t align with your interests, you might consider whether this is the right fit.
5. Respecting RSVPs
This group operates differently from others: RSVPs are a firm commitment, and we rely on members to honour them. When you RSVP to an event, you are expected to attend or, if necessary, update your RSVP as far in advance as possible.
While last-minute cancellations can occasionally be unavoidable, they are still highly disruptive to our plans and to the experience of other members. However, failing to show up without any notice is even more unacceptable. Just 1 or 2 instances of no-shows—or repeated last-minute cancellations—may result in removal from the group. Respecting RSVPs is crucial to ensuring everyone has a positive experience and to maintaining our group’s good standing with venues.
WhatsApp Group:

Looking forward to sharing delicious food and wonderful experiences with you!

Dear Foodies,
Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and requests to celebrate Christmas together! 🍝🍷
Why Ragazzi?
Because our last Christmas celebration there was unforgettable—delicious food, great company, and an atmosphere that made it one of the best dinners we've ever had! Ragazzi is renowned for its consistently excellent cuisine, wine, and service, making it synonymous with an authentic Italian dining experience.
A Taste of What Awaits:
I'm thrilled to invite you to dinner at Ragazzi. Imagine rustic decor, terracotta tiles, all set in the heart of Dalkey—an idyllic setting for a cozy evening out.
The Culinary Adventure:
Menu Highlights: Get ready to indulge in an array of Italian delights! From the signature linguine with succulent prawns tossed in oil, to the classic Bucatini all'Amatriciana—a Roman favourite featuring a perfect balance of salted pork cheek and tomato sauce. Ragazzi offers a "true Italian" experience, with highlights like Vongole clams and perfectly cooked dishes, consistently praised for their generous portions and great value.
During a recent conversation, Fabio Ragazzi, the restaurant owner, expressed his excitement about preparing a special Christmas dish exclusively for our group!
