Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A little slice of Italy in Wexford

A real authentic Italian dining experience. The food was cooked to perfection, the service was spot on and the Italian staff were great. My son wanted a pizza ‘off menu’ (which was no problem for this busy kitchen) and which he described as “the best...pizza I’ve ever had”. I can’t rate this restaurant highly enough! It’s a great example of how to blend great food with great service in these post-Covid times were staffing has become such an issue for many restaurants.More

Highly recommend!

This place is great! Atmosphere is chill and cool and the staff are also really friendly. They know what they’re doing and what they’re talking about, and you can tell making the customers happy is their main priority. Food is very good, some italian classics...and for their prices it’s 100% worth it. Highly recommend!More
