    Fantastic food. We had prawns, chicken wings and garlic mushrooms for starters amazing. And then cannelloni and ragu for main. Portion sizes were great. Service is fantastic. Everyone is so lovely. Decor is great. We all agreed we will be back. No faults what so ever

    Absolutely fabulous meal! Some of the best wings in Chicken Wing land, and absolutely fabulous Lamb Shanks. Rachel, Claudio and all the team are so welcoming and attentive. Highly recommended.

    Good, but not great Italian. Pasta choices were creative. Most had a twist, but some of the choices didn't really come together. Well executed tradition Italian is better than mediocre creativity. Service was a bit off. We usually had to prompt them for service.

    Great, cool place to enjoy pasta & a glass of wine. Service terrific. Very reasonable priced.

    The pizza was crispy and delicious. The cappuccino was frothy and had a lovely chocolate like bitterness. The tiramasu was divine! Forget those snooty places on the quay and come here instead!

  • 3/5 Dawn F. 1 year ago on Google
    Have been a few times to espresso it’s been hit or miss, some dishes taste great others like carbonara quiet bland . Main issue with espresso was have had prawn pil pil twice in there one as a starter and the second time I asked for a main version of it I got the same amount of prawns in the starter as the main just a bigger bowl covered in green leaves 9€ vs 18€ Disgusted

    The brownie and peanut butter ice cream is the absolute best I’ve ever had. Beyond that, all of the pasta dishes were so, so delicious. Definitely one of the best restaurants in Waterford

  • 1/5 Sophie O. 2 years ago on Google
    Worst Italian I’ve ever experienced.

  • 5/5 John Q. 5 years ago on Google
    Should have checked the before photo can't really see how amazing the food looked. I'll get a better picture next time. I didn't have to wait long for a table. The staff were very nice and accommodating. The food was epic. Great vegetarian selection. I would have liked it if garlic bread was inclusive in the meal to mop up the lovely sauce. I look forward to trying the pizza next time. 5 stars for good food, good service, at a good price.
