    Superb atmosphere. Massive plane hanging on ceiling and air balloons. I'm impressed. We got coffee and inhouse made desserts. Nice. Next time coming back with kids for pizza ;)

    Love this place! Such a wide variety on the menu, great decor, and relaxed ambience. The staff were so friendly and the food was delicious and very filling. A must visit if you're looking for a good, woodfired pizza!

    Great Italian restaurant, quite pricey I'd say but the food is amazing! Good variation of pizza and pasta following Italian's traductions. It's not 5 stars because I asked for a risttetto and they didn't know what it is and they gave me an espresso (same coffee but the mug wasn't warm which change the coffee experience)

    Gorgeous food, lovely staff. The outdoor area is fab too. Many thanks to our waitress Rachel (can't remember her name sorry 🙈) who was so lovely and attentive. Great little restaurant in Drogheda.

    There were 5 or 6 waitresses present, but none were coming to our table of 4. They were serving other tables quite fine, even more than just one of them was going to other tables to help. We were completely ignored, even after establishing a begging eye contact. I had to go to the til to get someone. No-one came to ask us if everything is OK, or, God forbid, to see if we'd need another drink after we've gotten our food. We went for a nice lunch for my daughter's birthday, but we'll never return, needless to say. Thanks a lot.

    Barman was lovely no complaints. The place was very quiet when we entered so no excuses for the lack of service we received from any other staff. We waited nearly 40mins for a garlic bread (starter), it was presumed we wanted our mains seperate, which ended up in waiting another 30 mins or so until we eventually asked for our food. Myself & partner got the chicken wraps and chips. Chips were lovely. My wrap was literally black and the fillings were like melted mush. It was vile. My partners wasn't too far off although his wasn't burnt. I asked for a side salad that didn't arrive with our food, or even by the time we were leaving. It was horrendous. We'll never go back. Clearly a huge staffing issue here and more training needed.

    The food was Devine, I highly recommend the Penne vodka, just delicious. Portions are huge I can never finish my main when I'm there. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The decor in the restaurant is beautiful and so unique. Could recommend the place more. Everything was spotless ! Tiramisu was devine and melt in the mouth

    Was open New Year's morning, which was great. Stands breakfast menu, standard fare. Speedy service, although drinks order was wrong and one extra drink added to bill which we rectified at till with zero hassle. No real advice on gluten free options apart from "we have gluten free bread"

  • 5/5 Patricia G. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a really authentic, fresh, carbonara, it was delicious! The bacon was tasty and the pasta was smothered in a thick, creamy sauce. It was a very generous portion. The staff were very knowledgeable and helpful regarding the menu and they were very pleasant and professional. I would certainly visit again. I'm enclosing a photo of my carbonara meal, enjoy!

    First and last time at this restaurant. I wanted to try it for a long time, and unfortunately I was left feeling very disappointed. Went to il forno at lunch time on Saturday. It was around 13, there were only few tables occupied. We ordered 3 started to begin with, but the startes took 40 minutes to arrive so we decided to not have the main, and we left after we ate the starters. The restaurant got busy while we were there and we noticed other people being served ahead of us and also different menus being handed out while we only had one. It looked like there were breakfast options, wraps and sandwiches on those menus as people around us were eating them. I wonder if there was a lunch menu cheaper than the restaurant menu we got? We spoke Italian going inside, did they think we were tourists and didn't bother giving us the other menus... I'm not sure. Food wise the portion were quite small for the price. 32 euro for 3 starters, bruschetta, arancini and squid rings. Food arrived to our table just warm. I can't say was authentic italian either. The restaurant inside is designed nicely, and that is, I'm afraid, my only positive.

    Been here before and wasn't impressed 😕 but I'm here again and what a turn around everything about this restaurant is A1 including the Italian back ground music. I loved my experience here and hope others will also ❤️

  • 5/5 Sue Ellen B. 6 months ago on Google
    A nice gluten free meal of eggplant Parmesan with roasted vegetables and garlic potatoes. I was so full I didn't have room for the gluten free brownies for dessert. Hot air balloons decorated the ceiling.

  • 4/5 Hayley C. 7 months ago on Google
    Lovely restaurant that is connected to a pub/bar next door. The BBQ wings were amazing and I’d highly recommend the bubblegum martini cocktail.

  • 5/5 Nick B. 6 months ago on Google
    Separate menu for vegetarian and gluten free options. There were many gluten free pizza and pasta options! Pictured is gluten free pepperoni pizza and gluten free eggplant Parm.

    Beautiful food, friendly helpful staff but the restaurant was freezing. On one the coldest nights of the year there didn't appear to be any heating on and it was uncomfortably cold which unfortunately took away from the great food.

  • 2/5 Lina A. 1 year ago on Google
    My experience wasn't great- on mum's bday wanted to treat her with the eggs benedicts. First they didn't have my chosen dish which was on the menu. So ordered the eggs with salmon and eggs with ham. When they came- were cold. The yolk was runny, but cold. Didn't complain as didn't want to destroy the birthday mood. Such a shame for such a lovely place and nice staff.

  • 4/5 Kevin A. 5 years ago on Google
    Meal was taste and well presented as are the premises but had to buy two coffees as I waited over 30 minutes for breakfast to arrive and both toast and most of meal were cold and it may have been due to me asking for a poached egg which I got 3 of and two were still raw. Having to ask for a coffee refill and paying extra was why only 4star.. Pity as meal was very tasty otherwise. would say normally great place to eat out.

  • 3/5 Stephen W. 1 year ago on Google
    Popped in for lunch. Nice atmosphere in the place. Service was good, food was OK but probably over priced for what it is.

    Excellent service here , the blonde waitress is always super nice and friendly and always makes sure we are ok. Very accommodating and was so lovely to my little boy too. 🧡 Jerry says thanks for the lollipops 🍭 we were also a walk in and we were looked after.

    Food ok but service incredibly slow people at the table could have had their meal eating before others got theirs. Plates came out 1 or 2 at a time. And not busy so no real excuse . Lovely spot staff lovely helpful but just service needs sorting

👍 We drove from Dublin to have lunch here, and it was completely worth it. The food is excellent here and so is the selection of the menu. I like the food fusion places a little bit more than the authentic one. It shows creativity, and this place is awesomely doing this. The chicken parmesan was so...
