Food was fantastic. We hadn't been for a while after being regular customers for years. Menu has lots of variety, whether you want small or larger meal, and my arancini starter followed by meatball bruschetta was delicious. Will be back soon.

Lovely evening eating out with friends! Food is top quality and I found it to be very tasty. The staff were lovely, friendly and went the extra mile to make our table virgin cocktails which weren't on the menu. Honestly a great experience and a true gem of Ballysnack! Will be back

Used to love this Italian for their hand made pasta and selection of pasta dishes / pizza. Hadn't been for a few years and was really surprised to find pizza was no longer an option on the evening menu, yet it was available on the kids menu.

Gorgeous Sunday roasts on sharing boards. We shared the beef and the chicken between 5 of us. We had breads and tapenade to start and finished off with lovely desserts. All 5 of us enjoyed every course. Well done chef.

Wow. A fantastic Italian. Every time I go here I'm impressed with the service but most of all the food. I had a tomato based dish (sorry can't remember which!) and it was out of this world. The meatballs starter was seriously tasty too. Goats cheese polenta which we've had before is very good too.My partner had carbonara and was less impressed - she said it was OK but not amazing. However that's her experience and mine was epic so giving this five stars.They do the best 0% beer - Heineken - on draft. Best 0% beer I've ever tasted.They even do gluten free pasta. If you're into Italian food, I don't think you'll be disappointed (although I've never been to Italy so take that with a grain of salt maybe!)

Menu is a bit off the beaten track. Staters and desserts were good but found it very hard to choose a main. In the end i went for a mediocre carbonara.

Went here with my partner to try, and it was beautiful.We had two pieces of bread for a starter, which alone on the menu was unreal, having so many different options to choose from.The food itself was lovely, very flavourful, it was too flavourful for my taste, but it's not worth giving a lower rate for, since it's a personal preference.The desserts were lovely as well, and the drinks of course!The servers were wonderful and attentive as well, which made the experience lovely.Thank you!

Outstanding food and service to match. Tried and trusted combo of small plates and mains didn't disappoint. The polenta and gnocchi as sides should be mandatory. The cheesey garlic bread deserves much more than the rudimentary name it was given... another level. Really, really, really good. Youngsters loved it too.
