    A little gem of a restaurant located in Bray and only located a stones throw from the promenade and 5 minutes from the dart. If you want to experience authentic Italian cuisine you will be hard pushed to find somewhere better. A real taste of authentic Italy. It came highly recommended but with a small warning, expect it to be small and with a limited menu. My colleague then threw in how it only had about 10 seats. Its small but cozy, not what you might expect and you could certainly walk right by. BUT, and its a big one - don't let that put you off. You are here for the food and exceptional service. According to their business card they are a cafe, wine and mozzarella bar. Its more than that though. Turns out its been here for years. An Italian husband and wife. Lots of local produce. The menu is small but changes each week along with the Italian wines, a reason to come back I guess :-).  Small selection of craft beer for those not a fan of wine with craft beers. Forget your Peroni's. Remember this authentic. We had a pretty amazing meat platter to start which included hand made dips, cheeses and pear. Very generous helpings. All our mains were excellent. I had fresh cavatelli in a slow cooked duck ragout. Delicious and I'm a picky eater. The other meals were equally impressive; fresh panzerotti stuffed with crab meat, with mussels and tiger prawns and 'Grigliata di pesce' which is a selection of grilled tiger prawns, seabream fillet, baby squid and salmon and mussels. All in all, just different but in a really good way. I'd imagine their lunch menu is equally as good. Looking at the paninis, well they looked delicious. You can't go wrong with a quick bite, a coffee and some Panettoni or a full meal all backed up with super friendly service. I'll be back for that meat platter for sure. 👍

    what an authentic Italian food cafe across whole Ireland and UK. Absolutely loved how fresh salads were and cheese was amazing!!! I strongly recommend this place to anyone who loves Italian delicacies. The coffee is magnificent! :) This place deserves 5 star out of 5.

    On a rainy day in Bray, we come across this lovely respite and a nice cuppa. The staff were very friendly and efficient. The homemade pastry was delicious and well served. We'll definitely be back.

    We rely on Google reviews to find good places to eat and we weren't let down this time. Great little place with lovely food and exceptionaly nice people working there. We had the Vegetariano Tagliere & the Tagliere Di Fromaggi shared between 2.5 of us for lunch and it was just delicious. I regret not having a coffee afterwards or a cake after having a deep dive on previous reviews so will have to go back again.

    A very charming and friendly Italian sandwich shop. Coffee was top notch, the paninis were crunchy and delicious and the staff were very welcoming and amicable. Would certainly visit again!

    One of best meals we had in Ireland. Had the bruschetta selection and cheese/fruit plate- both excellent. Highly recommend!

    Small restaurant but food was good. My first time to taste white lasagna and it was good.

    Exquisite authentic Italian food for a quick bite, delicious home made bread and focaccia, a piece of Italy in the heart of Bray. Bravi Rebecca e Tony, a presto
