Having had two recent visits to here I can honestly say it’s one of the best eateries in maynooth. Excellent food, wine and service. We regularly order take away too which has never disappointed over the years. Can’t fault it

We arrived close to closing time and were worried it would be too late to order. The manager was extremely welcoming and said it would be no bother to serve us. We didn't feel at all rushed during the meal and all staff were warm and friendly. The restaurant itself is very cosy and warm which was great since we had visited a few other places on previous nights and found them chilly. The food is very reasonably priced and delicious. We would highly recommend this restaurant.

I'd the lasagne which was a big portion. The waiter offered bread with my starter which was a bonus. I got tempted with a dessert too.

We visited this restaurant while visiting our student on Erasmus in Maynooth. The quality of the food was excellent and for very reasonable price. Even the wine was not extremely expensive, especially not compared to in many other places we visited in Ireland.
Staff was very friendly and atmosphere very cosy. I can recommend this place.

We spent a lovely Saturday night enjoying the fresh Italian food served at this amazing restaurant.We had a prawn linguine and pasta carbonara both of which were cooked to perfection and served by welcoming and friendly staff.The depth of flavour was refreshing and the setting was fantastic.We had no initial booking but were accommodated with an outside table which provided great comfort and ambience.We will definitely be back sooner rather than later to visit this hidden gem.Bravo to all!
