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.

An absolutely amazing dinner with exquisite food and delightful service! We had a free night in Westport and no dinner plans. Sweet Caroline at the front desk of The Wyatt Hotel suggested Il Vulcano, and we thought, "Italian in Ireland? Why not?" We were a party of eight, and from our drinks to shared appetizers (don't miss the cheesy garlic bread) to entrees, to desserts to a limoncello aperitif we couldn't have been more delighted! Every single person LOVED their entree, and sample bites were shared around the table. The lasagna was excellent, the 4-cheese ravioli was a feast, heavy and cheesy, but my compadres helped me finish. We loved the ragu ravioli, the minestrone, the Stromboli, and we loved the monkfish. Not one person wished they had ordered something else. We were too full for dessert, but "took a look". Soon heavenly lighter-than-air cheesecake, creamy Gelato and refreshingly tart lemon sorbet with a shot of good vodka and a beautiful lemon wedge arrived. We topped off our might with a round of limoncello shots. This dinner was unforgettable and the best of our trip so far. There were few in-house diners, but a couple dozen take-out orders left the building. The impeccable service was part of our experience, but do what you gotta do. A 10 out of 10 for us!

Lovely food very generous portion great staff . Only thing I would add is slightly over priced as it is pasta and pizza. I would suggest smaller portions as the starter and main were huge and reduce prices. It was delicious 😋

A really nice restaurant, almost feels like being in the heart of an Italian family kitchen. The restaurant was busy which was testament to the quality of the food. 2 starters, 2 mains, 1 dessert (shared), 2 beers and 1 carafe of wine we were pleasantly surprised was under €100. The bruschetta was delicious, the spinach and ricotta tortellini with Quattro formaggi sauce was so tasty. Let’s not forget the Tiramisu. Yum. The portion sizes were large 👌🏻. And that was just my meal. The staff were friendly and helpful too. Altogether a lovely experience was had and we were celebrating a special occasion, my birthday.

Booked this table for 3 at short notice, busy but we were accommodated inside beside the kitchen. Starters calamari, ok. Mains veal special nice but meat feast pizza very stodgy and my sons fish dish prawns wrapped in sole at over 24 euro was not very appealing and tasteless. When asked at the till if we enjoyed our meal the manager seemed shocked and didn’t offer an apology although a junior female waitress did . When I stated this had been the most expensive meal of our three nights in Westport for what we got he commented, ‘ well this is Westport. That’s what you expect’. He was arrogant in his response. No empathy whatsoever for his customers. If you want a pizza takeout ok otherwise stay clear…

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.

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.

Decided to wander up a hill to find this restaurant, when you step in you are transported to the smells, flavours and great Italian food. Great wine choice and service 10/10. On our list of Westport restaurants to visit on next trip.

My family and I (a party of 7) dined in Il Vulcano last week during our stay in Westport. We were pleasantly surprised by everything about the restaurant, from the decor to the food and the service. We ate a range of dishes and everyone was really pleased with their food, it was delicious and really well presented. The staff were very attentive and friendly. It was reasonably priced and we all left satisfied.

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!

As soon as we entered the restaurant the waiter wasn't very friendly! Seated us at our table for 3, but suddenly our 3rd person didn't make it! We had a 6pm table and was told he had to split our table as only 2 of us were there! He took all our belonging off the third table, moved a table and put a guy right beside us even though there were 10 tables free! He made us feel really uncomfortable! Couldn't have a proper chat as this guy was practically at the same table as us even though there were plenty of other tables he could have placed this single guy! He completely ruined our meal from the moment we arrived! The waiter seemed to have some kind of attitude towards us! The food was below average! Would never return again due to food but also to way we were treated! Never again!

The waiterndid not offer water until I asked for it. The calamari comes with TARTAR SAUCE! It purports to be an italian restaurant. What? When we asked for marinara, they brought it and charged us 3€. And while all other tables were offered a complimentary limoncello, we were not. This on top if very average food. What was I thinking? Italian in Ireland.

We decided to try Italian on our 2nd night in Westport & after looking at reviews decided to try here. On arrival the tables were well spaced staff were wearing face masks & all was well. We had a 3 course meal with a half carafe of white wine, the food was lovely & the pistachio cheesecake was easily the best I have had in a long time. I also got a peek in the kitchen & saw that the bottles of olive oil & vinegar were being cleaned as soon as they were brought back in to the back. The atmosphere was lovely the staff friendly, all in all a lovely meal, definitely give it the thumbs up👍👍

My family booked this restaurant on a recommendation from the lady at my airbnb. Although it was a Saturday evening and there was 17 of us in total they fitted us all in, age ranging from 64 down to 8 year old. I have to say each and everyone of us thoroughly enjoyed our meal, it was certainly the best Italian meal I’ve had in a very long time! The house wine was excellent and very good value for money. The Staff were very attentive and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. If your in Westport and are looking for a good meal that value for money, you won’t go wrong choosing II Vulcono. We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in Westport. Rosaleen Meath
