    Cute Italian restaurant

    The food was okay, nothing to write home about. The wait staff was nice and they suggested a few items not on the menu which were tasty. Go for the friendly staff and stay for a glass of wine or two.

    Accidentally surprised

    Strolling along in the rain and we say the signs for this cute little spot. The staff was vaguely aloof - similar to our experience in the real Venice, truth be told, but the food was satisfying and the wine tasty. All of the tables...More

    A safe pair of Italian hands

    If good Italian fare is what you're looking for, this place ticks all the boxes. The usual range of Italian favourites - pizza, pasta plus meat and fish dishes - all well cooked and presented. The service is prompt and efficient rather than friendly, but...More

    Large portions!

    Simple meal of Spaghetti Bolognese with a Caprese salad. Enjoyed the meal. Pasta portions were huge. Service was pleasant!

    One trip to Venice is not enough!!

    Stumbled upon Venice my trip to Galway 6 years ago. This was the one place in Galway I KNEW I had to return to. Venice did not disappoint. We came for an early dinner and it was magical, as I knew it would be. I...More

    HORRIBLE

    ABSOLUTE GARBAGE! I’ve never had a worse restaurant experience in my life. The staff don’t care and the restaurant is horrible. Stay away from this place! After ONE HOUR of waiting for an order of lasagna and ravioli we decided we would not be ignored...More

    It is a reasonably nice Italian restaurant, based on similar in Ireland.

    It has a reasonable atmosphere although can be noisy. The food is reasonable without being spectacular. Menu is adequate. Service is good. It is a good solid meal. Based on Irsih prices it is average.

    Really nice Italian

    Really busy and buzzy Italian restaurant in Galway City. As a lone diner sometimes it hard to find somewhere you feel comfortable in. Staff were very friendly and could find no fault with the food either.

    Wonderful restaurant tucked down a side street

    My wife and I stopped in with a friend for lunch. My wife had the bruschetta as an entrée and enjoyed it very much. I had the spaghetti carbonara and it was expertly done -- noodles al dente and rich creamy sauce although I'm not...More
