I had my 60th birthday here. It was wonderful. Dario went to a lot of trouble to make sure everything was right for my party. He decorated the table provided complimentary prossecco and nibbles to start. He gave me a huge menu to choose from and gave the house wine at a very reasonable price. Overall the night was fantastic and i would definitely go back there again for any special occasion. There was one negative and that was the toilets. There was only one for men with a queue all the time, that’s why i took away one star

Service with a warm welcoming smile and food that was top quality from start to finish. A large number of us dined here very recently for a special birthday gathering and it was an extremely memorable evening. Despite getting our time of arrival mixed up and huge heartfelt apologies, we got seated within a half an hour, even though we did have to go to a nearby bar as our group was too large to wait in the restaurant. However, we we returned the table was all set and beautifully decorated with large helpings of appetisers and plenty of Prosecco(provided free on the house I believe!). The orders for our starters and mains, were taken promptly, despite the large number, and, indeed, the huge choice on offer for both courses. The atmosphere was wonderful, warm and jolly, however, those seated on the inside large seats were somewhat hemmed in and it was difficult to get out(to go to the toilet for example) without disturbing a lot of other guests! Speaking of toilets, my only major gripe was that, for a restaurant of its size, there was only one toilet each for males and females and thus there was a constant queue. However, the food was absolutely delicious and our large group had a whole variety of dishes, from Italian to the humble chicken or steak, and there was not a single grumble or complaint. The restaurant also provided a large birthday cake for the guest of honour at our table and this was served for dessert. Wonderful experience overall and top marks to the Manager and staff for their attention to detail, but mostly for their lovely warm friendly and happy dispositions!

We arrived in for a family dinner without a reservation and were seated within 10 minutes. The staff were lovely and welcoming and the food was very good. The service was ok, a tiny bit slow but nothing to moan about really. We shared a Quattro Formaggi pizza as a starter and it was very good. I had the asparagus ravioli in white wine cream sauce and it was delicious. The espresso was good as well.

I returned here for a quick lunch on a beautiful day during the summer and sat outside by myself. I had a red pesto cream pasta(I think Calabrese?) and it was absolutely one of the best pastas I’ve ever had. I also had the garlic bread which was a pizza base. I’m not big on pizza base garlic bread as I find it too filling and greasy, but this was really tasty. The service was good too.

FOOD: Overall, it was ok. Having eaten many Italian restaurants, I really expected more after reading the reviews. The pizza was a bit sloppy, very oily, poorly cut and the sauce was rather bland. The fusilli baked pasta dish had a great sauce(3-stars), but it needed more umph from the vegetables and chicken. SERVICE: Waiters were extremely friendly, but we waited around for 10 minutes before being asked for our drinks. After that, they came by only twice and it was definitely not as personable as another review. OVERALL: The place had room so we went in, I was expecting an overall better experience but the food, inattention and overall heat in the restaurant led to this review.

The best Italian restaurant that I have been in Ireland. I had antipasto, spaghetti bolognese on the first day and garlic bread, lasagne and prosseco duribfmg the second. Everything was perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. I hope they open a place in Dublin. Excellent service, very friendly staff and waiters, affordable prices, great music and splendid atmosphere.

Oh my lanta! I just went to a dinner with a large group of college students celebrating! The layout of the restaurant is beautiful and modern. The lighting/décor is interesting, and colorful. Everything was delicious. I had a seafood pasta with wine sauce that was amazing. Across from me, my friend got some sort of baked pasta with riscotta cheese and mushrooms, it was amazing. My friend next to me ordered a steak, and he loved it. Then the dessert — oh sweet lord in heaven… We decided to taste one another’s desserts, & they were all scrumptious! The tiramisu was out of this world! Creamy, full of flavor, and perfect texture! The ice cream that was multi flavored was delicious(vanilla toffee and chocolate), and of course the chocolate bumpy something or other… It was exemplary. I had the berry cheesecake… And it was really strange. I didn’t care for this much at all. The outside of the slice was rubbery, and then biting into it was spongy. The sauce on top was fine. Next to how amazing every other dessert was, I was highly disappointed with my dessert. Even still, everything else was above and beyond.
