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.

Really good fresh Italian food with pleasant staff at reasonable prices. We visited on Monday evening and the restaurant was quiet enough but it never felt deserted.

Ate here on Saturday night with 3 friends. Firstly the staff were very welcoming and good at their job. No waiting for service even though it was busy. Orders were taken promptly and the food was served quickly. All of us really enjoyed our meals...and had absolutely no complaints. Great value for money too. Will be returning again.More

We made a very last minute reservation here after being unsure of where to eat in Athlone. I got a table for 8:30pm luckily on a Saturday night. The place was hopping, but was small (about 8 tables maybe) so we were never overlooked or...forgotten about by staff. We had all three courses - the main was unbelievable - my partner had pizza & I had bolognaise with Penne pasta. Some ice cream to finish too! We were both pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. Staff were lovely and very accommodating. Would absolutely love to come back!More

We walked in with no booking and the waitress seated us immediately. Fresh and tasty pasta,very good for the price. Lovely dessert, my boyfriend really enjoyed the banoffee pie. Good service, however one complaint is that the garlic bread did not meet expectations. Lovely food...and wine for the priceMore

Absolutely dreadful restaurant I ordered the bruschetta which came out as soggy bread and tomatoes no basil or salt on the tomatoes...then my pasta dish was supposed to be chicken and mushrooms in a creamy sauce the sauce was wattery and it just tasted of...nutmeg. Very disappointing. Staff serving were lovely and very embarrassed when I complained. Should of read more reviews on this place.More

The garlic bread is two slices of bread with garlic butter and cheese. The only part of the bread that was actually toasted was the crust portion. The bread itself wasn’t toasted and because of that, it’s a oily soggy mess. The two slices of...“garlic bread” came wrapped in tinfoil so the cheese stuck to the top and because the bread was soggy from the garlic butter it ripped all of the cheese from the top of one of them along with some of the bread itself. The pasta also lacked any kind of flavour. The only thing I enjoyed from this was the can of coke.More

Superb Italian restaurant as always. Having visited many restaurants in Italy, Pavarotti’s is truly authentic. A visit to Athlone is not complete without Pavarotti's.

Group of 6 of us. Of course we had nothing booked- seen this place and delighted that we could get in. Service was excellent the girl was really patient and attentive followed by a second waitress who kept asking if we were ok too. Really...appreciated. Pints of Guinness were on tap from next door. Starters bruschetta was on fresh bread and quite nice. The mains were great. And after the average starters we were really pleasantly surprised. Carbonara, meatballs, cannelloni and the spicy pizza. All grand and we enjoyed the evening.More

Positives - - Lovely staff - Tables kept very clean - Menu varied and offers something for everyone - Love the thin crispy bases on the pizzas Negatives - - When I went found the quality of the pizza varied. On one pizza some toppings...were overcooked to the point of being burnt, other toppings were undercooked - Whilst the restaurant area is very clean, the toilets aren’t in the best shapeMore

We ate here last night and had a lovely meal. Simple and tasty. Starters were Bruschetta, ample and it tasted like the tomatoes were marinated so really tasty. Pavs potatoes was tasty with the anchovies and olives again simple but tasty. Pasta Ai fungi was...very flavoursome as was my Pasta Putanesca. It had lovely flavours going on. Too full to have deserts and the Tiramisu wasn’t ready. Reasonably priced staff were pleasant but may have been taken up with pizzas going in to the pub next door. House wine wasn’t to our taste but I would go back as it was a nice Authentic Italian meal. Easy to see why this place has lasted so long. Thanks and we’ll see you again.More
