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.

We have been here 3 times, twice as a couple and once as a party of 8, each time, the food has been delicious. I mean to write a review each time I leave, its a wonderful addition to Athy. There is a trio of brushetta, which is bursting with fresh flavours. I wld recommend to share. On the last visit, my partner chose off the specials, the meal included Italian meatballs which he loved. I adore the roasted aubergine, it has a gorgeous sauce. I had a side of salad to mop up every last bit. The range and reasonable price of the menu allows you to experience the gorgeous flavours of both starters and mains..they are perfectly filling. The tiramisu is served in a gorgeous glass, a perfect italian end to a meal. I am delighted such a great restauraunt has finally opened in Athy. I wish it every sucess.

Wow! At last another great addition to the dining choices of Athy. We've lost a few by the wayside with Covid, etc, but those that came out the other side have made the effort and upped their game. The Mani in Pasta, however, is the new kid on the block.Just opening last week we thought it would be quiet enough to walk in for a Monday evening dinner. Surprisingly they were booked out but just as we headed for the door they found us a table for two. Considering there was only one chef and two floor staff they worked remarkably well with no fuss, panic or undue delays. Service was great, attentive and friendly with a great pasta and pizza menu. Food was delicious, freshly prepared and as good Italian food as I have had anywhere (including Italy!). Chef Pasquale hailing from Naples produces gorgeous pizza and the Ravioli Ai Porcini e Tartufo was melt in the mouth. Nice selection of decent price Italian wines and finished off with the perfect ice cream selection it was a meal worth travelling for. Luckily, this "Piccola bellezza" is right on my doorstep so I plan to investigate more of their extensive menu very soon. Well done to Mersio and her team and good luck with this fine addition to the Athy food scene!

Nice Menu
Great service
.A very authentic Italian feel.
My husband and my son had 2 excellent pizzas, My own main course wasn’t to my liking and the proprietor without prompting didn’t charge.
(Had slice of my sons yummy pizza instead)
it’s not often you see affogato on the dessert menu.

Been to this restaurant a couple of times. It's a quirky little place with friendly staff and amazing food. There's a sense of real Italy being served up here. Don't be fooled by the discrete exterior and the modest interior. Although it would be easily passed by, for those who envoy good food with friendly service it is very worth an investigation.

From the very start of the process, this restaurant far exceeded expectations. The owner was messaging in advance because their landline was down. She booked us in seamlessly and we were ushered to our table when we arrived early. The decor is lovely and the menu is vast, with lots of specials.
We had a mix of starters and main courses and everyone was very complimentary of the food and drinks that were served to us. The bill was not expensive, for all that we got. The young staff try very hard and deserve a mention.
The owner was really nice to us on the way out, and we said we will definitely be back. Well done MIP 👏👏

First time in this Italian restaurant , and it won’t be the last . Lovely food, and it was served hot.
The staff were lovely and took time to chat to everyone.
The pasta pesto was delicious and creamy.
Pity they had no Dissarano , had to make do with a Limoncello .
Will try their new restaurant when it opens in Newbridge .

This wasn't my first visit but it was our best. I'm not sure how but the food seems to get better with each visit and it started as 5*.
If you want 100% genuine simple but wonderful Italian food - look no further. The meal we had last night (28 Jan 24) was nothing short of exquisite and I followed it with a perfect Baileys Coffee.
Go and sample this amazing Italian food if you haven't done so already.
