I think this is one of the best Italian restaurants in Ireland. Absolutely fabulous delicious food. Willow was our waitress, who was super efficient & friendly. The sicilian chicken was divine & the fettuccine boscaiolo so delicious. Very generous portions and excellent value for money.

Friendly staffGenerous portionsPastaTasty food
Such an amazing food, I had beef hamburger with fried onions and fries. The best beef Ive ever had without a doubt. My girlfriend had the steak baggett which wad amazing aswell. It was 44e for 2 person
We recently visited this place and had a fantastic experience.
The tomato soup was absolutely incredible — honestly one of the best I’ve ever had. The flavor was perfectly balanced and truly 10/10.
I ordered the chicken and mushroom pasta with pesto sauce, and it was amazing. It was so delicious, and the portion was huge. I couldn’t finish it, so I happily took the rest home.
My husband had the pasta with meatballs, and he said it was excellent as well.
A special mention to our waitress, a lovely girl with dark hair. Unfortunately, I don’t know her name, but she was absolutely wonderful — so friendly, smiling, and attentive throughout our visit. Her service made our experience even better.
Overall, everything was perfect: delicious food, generous portions, and outstanding service. We will definitely be back!
