Description: We're a family run restaurant, known for our fresh, tasty and locally sourced dishes with an emphasis on friendly service in a relaxed bistro atmosphere. Our aim is to provide Great food, produced with ingredients from local suppliers, including our own organic vegetable garden in Gracedieu. We pride ourselves on our imaginative pasta dishes, locally rared beef, lamb & chicken, freshly caught fish and of course probably the best stone baked pizza in the land!

OK, so it's a lovely restaurant. Not Italian at all. Hard pressed to find any dish, considered Italian. 5 pasta dishes. Food does not portray its Italian heritage. Shame. Understandable just no fair. Folks lovely, but not looking for a hamburger

Place has really gone downhill in the last 12 months. Loads of unpleasant spatters on the walls which was really unappealing. Had mussels to start which were good but my Spaghetti Marinara was bland and fish was almost non existent. Had two different glasses of wine land neither was good. Unfortunately I won’t be back. There are better restaurants in Waterford.

In spite of sounding like a café, this is a very good Italian restaurant. We are often very wary of choosing pasta dishes, but in this case we were very pleased that we did.
We had a carbonara and a Bolognese dish, both were excellent.

If you are looking for a place with good food full of flavor, spare yourself this restaurant, I don’t know who writes these positive reviews. It's more of a cheap diner than an Italian restaurant if you want to eat good Italian food go to Emilianos

Excellent food. Fantastic service. Highly recommend. Lovely atmosphere and we were kindly seated without a reservation which is clearly needed as so popular.
