There was 5 of us dining here and being we weren’t from the area naturally we research where to go for dinner on our weekend away. We absolutely loved everything about it from start to finish. It’s great when you go into a place avd see it so busy you can count on it being good by seeing a big crowd. Every one of us had enjoyed our food and drinks. Service was excellent, great buzzing atmosphere. We couldn’t fault it.
Fantastic experience from start to finish.
The food was absolutely amazing
Best pizza & pasta we've had in a long time
We got the pizza with burrata on top, so good and creamy chicken tikka fettuccine.
Our son had never tried carbonara before and he loved it!
The wine and the dessert were lovely too and all the staff were so friendly and helpful.
We'll definitely be back next time we are in Athlone!
