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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

The food & service in this family run restaurant is top notch. The pasta special with Fettuccine, monkfish & prawns was absolutely delicious. The pizzas were really tasty & generous in size. They offer a great selection of wines tòo. The service was attentive &...all the staff were very pleasant. We will be back!More

This is a really great dinner spot. We walked in on a Monday night and were able to be seated right away. The service was amazing, and the food was delicious and came in generous quantities. We really felt like we got our money’s worth...here, and had a very enjoyable experience. We got the Chianti wine, the side of roasted potatoes, the linguine alla carbonara, and the margherita pizza. All were very yummy. Really nice vibe in the restaurant, also, with the decor and the fancy water glasses. We also were given a few pieces of nice bread with butter and oil while waiting for our food. We got the option of having grated Parmesan spooned over our food when it arrived, which was what we were hoping for. Highly recommend!More

Can't fault the food as it was absolutely delicious but we were a little surprised when we got there and was told that they had no record of our booking on Saturday despite calling on Tuesday evening and confirming the booking with a member of...staff and we also tried to order a carafe of wine to be told that we couldn't have one as the waiter didn't want to open up a bottle of wine. If this is not possible it should not be stated on the menu that carafes are availableMore

My mother and I ate in here last night (may 8th) and we had a beautiful dinner! All of the staff were so lovely and helpful. We ordered the antipasto selection to share for a starter and it was lovely. Then our main courses, I...ordered the Quattro formaggi and it was just perfect! My mum ordered the lemon sole fish with calamari and mussels etc and she said it was absolutely amazing, she couldn’t eat it all so we took the rest for later. I had the gelato for dessert and it was easily one of the nicest I’d ever had! I had melon, vanilla and strawberry. I found out one of the staff makes the ice cream so it was authentic and tasty! Over all, brilliant experience and will definitely be back here when I come back to Westport in the future!More

Got a lovely table at very late notice, and what a wonderful experience to dine in this lovely intimate restaurant. For starters I had the Mussels with tomato and chilli sauce and for mains had seafood risotto, whilst my friend had the fillet steak both...of which were exceptional. Wines were wonderful and very affordable and as we were so full, unfortunately could not avail of the lovely italian desserts. Thank you one and all for a lovely lovely dining experience.More

Excellent food and service. Really friendly and helpful staff. We were a group of 5 with no reservation. The pasta dishes were excellent. Pizza was good too. Altogether a very good experience.

Just not good. We had olives, antipasto and calamari to start, followed by pizzas for myself, my wife and two kids. It was all below standard including the wines. Looking back, when I realised there was no wood fired oven for the pizzas it was...at that point we should have left. When we did leave, we left a reasonable amount of pizza behind as well as some of the over priced Montepulciano red behind, which we went for over the house reds. None of our dishes were tasty or really fresh. The pizzas were chewy while the tomato base and toppings were not really tasty. Unfortunately, the prices are tasty all things considered. So it was really not good. There are far better options in Westport. Decor and atmosphere don't come into it either.More

Sorry, something I usually look for first but didn't see in Ireland although I do know they have many unannounced inspections.
