After finding ourselves hungry in Oranmore we decided to have a look around the town for something to eat. Well that took all of about 4 minutes so we decided to pop into Basilico for dinner. For a tiny town this place was buzzing, absolutely full! Cool. The menu was Italian and as always you wonder why its Italian themed but as soon as we heard the waiters talk we knew why. They were all Italian! Cool. We ordered pizza and I chose the pizza with the novel basil and mayonnaise topping.Cool. I like cookiness and this was right up there. And I am happy to report that the pizza was fantastic!! The mayo really worked out great as a topping! Service was pretty decent too and the prices were reasonable. We ended up coming back the next night too! Of all the places we ate in Oranmore this was definitely the very best!

Like a Macaroni Grill dropped right into Ireland. Although everything inside is authentic and the proprietors are actually from Italy, your senses are overwhelmed with the impression that it's all just a facade. No idea why! The food's good, though. The prices are a bit much (e.g. 10 EUR+ for pizzas) but given that it's attached to a hotel it's not exactly a surprise. Also seems to get overrun with families and children in the later hours, so it's clearly a neighborhood draw.

We are snobs about Italian food. This is truly authentic and delicious Italian. We were shocked to find it in a small town.

Who would have thought one of our favorite meals while visiting Ireland would be an Italian spot…read moretucked away in little ole downtown Ennis!? We were staying in nearby Dromoland and were after dinner that wasn't our hotel restaurant, so we wandered into downtown Ennis and then into Passatempo. When you think cute and quaint, you picture a place like Passatempo. They have only seven tables inside and when the weather is good, they have a few out front. We grabbed a table inside and were greeted by the owner who got us started on our meal. The owner and his family, authentic Italians who are clearly passionate about the food and drink, were delightful to interact with all night! Now the food...fresh made everything! So be patient, I promise it's worth it. We started with the crostini, which was a plate of 8 crositini's topped with a variety of fresh veggies, meats and sauces. My favorite was the red wine reduced onions and cheese crostini! For our mains, we got the lasagna and the spicy sausage pasta. The pasta is clearly made in house and with love, as do the sauces. The dishes were absolute perfection and delicious! And one surprising thing was the portion sizes, which were larger than expected, and we were good with it! While we did not partake, they did have a limited menu of Italian cocktails, wine and beer. And of course, several desserts including tiramisu. Overall, Passatempo was an absolute highlight of our trip and put Ennis on the map for us - Highly recommend!

Beautiful quaint, Italian restaurant. My husband said it was…read morethe best he's ever had because it was nice and crunchy
