Yum! I went in here…read morethis evening for dinner with my Mum & Dad. It was quite busy when we went inside as there were some first communions today, alot of people were out so the place was buzzing. We said to the lady that greeted us that we didn't have a reservation but she said that was ok and showed us to our table. The layout is very nice, lovely funky bar as you walk in the door, then long dining area, and at the end there is an open kitchen so you can see the food being prepared which is always nice. Dim lighting with little blue fairly lights on the trees give nice vibe to the place. On the menu there is a selection of starters,salads, all about 5 euro, then you can get pizza or pasta, these are all in 10 euro bracket, steak and fish dishes are around 20 euro, chicken dishes around 15 euro. There is a wide variety of food to choose from. I opted for the penne con pollo, which was a lovely pasta strips dish served in a creamy sauce with mushrooms and diced chicken through the dish. Please see attached photo. We were given bread and water while we were waiting, we didn't have to wait that long, maybe 10-15 minutes, then the meal arrived, the waitier apologised for the delay, which I didn't even notice, just seemed right about of time to wait for a meal! I was given a good portion of pasta and the waitress asked did I want any parmesan, and sprinkled a delicious helping over the pasta. I was full from the dish, didn't have a desert afterwards. I had a cappuccino which was delicious and plentiful size! Very friendly staff, very efficient, great service, delicious food! Highly Recommended!

The restaurant itself has a fancy feel right what you walk in, but the menu doesn't feel too fancy in terms of options, and I don't mean that a bad way! Dim lighting, and an elegant feel to the place. They have a bar, but it's quite small. They did ask us if we had a reservation when we walked in, so maybe plan to make one if you intend on going! We got two salads and a pizza. The pizza reminded us of Punch Pizza, a restaurant back in the states. They were great, and honestly like a sense of comfort food. It all came out so fast, I want to say 10 minutes or less. After dinner, we got the Apple Tart and Tiramisu. I'd order the Tiramisu in a heartbeat! So summer and delicious - definitely get that if you have room! Service was great too. When you're done, you stand up and pay by the bar. That's something we've had to adjust to while over here - to not wait for the bill at the table. Overall, 4 out of 5 stars!

We were told to try this place, and as our first stop of the trip, after a 15-hour plane ride and nearly 24 hours from our last full meal, with empty stomachs and determined hearts, we landed here. "Order," they said, "and go have a pint across the street. We'll bring your food over." And God bless, they did. While we waited for our food just steps away at the local pub, drinking our first of many pints of Guinness that week, we spoke to locals and learned about the town. And when the food came -- I'm telling you, it was the best damn Indian food I've ever had. We ate here three more times before leaving two days later for our next stop -- and left happy as larks each time. It's been nearly three months, and I swear -- I'd go back just to stop into this wonderful little hole in the wall again.

There is a menu board near the front and there is also a daily specials blackboard on the opposite wall behind the counter. There are only 4 tables inside and they are all two-tops. There is an outside eating area out back that has an Italian countryside feel. The man behind the counter was extremely friendly and accommodating. We finally decided what to order and he said he would bring everything to our table. First the bread, oil, and vinegar were of the highest quality. The Prosecco was very good and actually had a cork in it. My son got the pizza and I got the rolled stuffed pork special. Both were outstanding. When in Youghal I highly recommend this place.

We stayed in four different cities, and traveled to many more, had lunch or dinner in a variety of pubs, and most, if they had music, were playing 2000's American pop hit junk. Some of those other pubs did have live music schedules for later evening, but we were trying to get our pub experiences at lunch and then 6p-9p range each day so we could get to sleep for the next day's exploring. It's also really nice that this pub is along the water (the river through Kilkenny) and some of the seating overlooks it via window, including open windows if you like. The kitchen closes early here, even on Fridays; 8pm during our June 2026 visit, so plan around that if you are intending to get dinner. Food-wise: * Really enjoyed the beef stew; good price no complaints. * Margherita pizza is great * Caprese Salad is not expensive but pretty mediocre * Seafood Chowder was very good * Tortellini was fine for Ireland Take all the above in context with the overall Irish food scene, which is mostly average at best. These feelings are based on seven days of eating around the country, so when I'm saying the beef stew was really good, that's compared to the rest of Ireland where I had one I liked more and a few others that were not good at all. Drink pricing is on par with other tourist cities; not bad. As with most pubs, beer and liquor selection is limited outside of the extensive Irish Whiskey options. For example, two rums, one bourbon, beers were what we encountered everywhere and no deviation. Service was similar to the rest of Ireland; initial order taking and then you have to flag someone down for anything after that.

We got in and snagged a table in the perfect location. We started off with food. The fish and chips were amazing. The fish wasn't too breaded or oily. The piece of fish was huge! The fresh green onions and homemade tater sauce elevated the dish. We stayed at the pub until Irish music started, which was so good! Hearing the tin whistle, guitar, and beautiful Irish singing was such a treat. We enjoyed a handful of cocktails and Guinness! Very enjoyable night!

When we walked in around 5pm it wasn't too busy and we were seated right away. My partner and I decided to order some focaccia bread as an appetizer along with a pepperoni pizza to share. The basket of focaccia we received was filled to the brim, a very generous serving, and it was so fresh, soft, and warm. I can easily say it was the very best focaccia I've ever tasted! The pizza was equally as good, it was on the thinner side but with a thicker crust, the sauce was not too sweet, and the pepperonis had a tiny bit of spice to them. It was truly up there with one of the best pizzas I've tasted and if I didn't live thousands of miles away then I would make La Trattoria a regular staple in my diet. Very bummed to see so many negative reviews because my experience here was nothing short of amazing!
