The service is johnny on the spot and the bartenders are welcoming with humorous slogans and stories. There's plenty of room inside the front of the restaurant as well as all along the sides and the back. The further back you go the less you want to know of the front. It's kind of cozy and sweet. So, come on out the next time you're in Blarney, County Cork. It's a lovely town, and inside is so colorful with songs, stories, decor and all sorts of delicious foods and libations. It couldn't be any more friendly here. So, come over and enjoy yourself but don't mind yourself...not here. Chris McGrath was the entertainment and with a lovely voice and an inviting soul. Mel

The restaurant is run like a well-oiled machine and is a pleasure to dine in. It is in an area where there are many tourist-friendly places and my wife and I were thrilled to find this little gem in the middle of it all. The chef masterfully mixes simple, quality ingredients with a great level of culinary skill and detail. The results are a pleasure to taste. This is one of those restaurants that will be successful in a small town, large city, in any country around the world. We wish nothing but continued success and best wishes to the staff!

I know what you are asking - why did you go all the way to Ireland, and have Italian food and…read morepizza? Well, we got tired of the few traditional Irish dishes and were craving something different. The owners are from Northern Italy, so the food is quite a treat compared to what you usually experience in America. Plenty of pizza choices (both vegan and non vegan), as well as a good variety of pasta dishes, desserts, and drinks. We ordered the Delizia (€12.50 for the 9" or €14.50 for the 12" pie). It consisted of spicy salami, Italian bacon, red onion, mozzarella cheese, and we added black olives for an extra €1. And they didn't skimp on the black olives folks (see the pic). They were whole olives, and not slices, like we are used to in the states. Gotta love that! We also ordered the 9" Vegetariana for €10.80. It had tasty tomato sauce, aubergines (AKA eggplant), courgettes (AKA zucchini), a touch of basil, and roasted red peppers. No cheese on this one, since it was listed as a vegan option. The food was so fresh here, and the best part of it all was the crust and the tomato sauce on each pizza. Service was OK. The food came out in a timely manner, and the girl running the front operations was friendly and courteous. However, I must deduct one star because she didn't pay enough attention to our drink refill requests. She was occupied with what appeared to be one of the town locals who stops in for a pint and just sits and has conversations with the staff. I guess that happens in a lot of small towns. I can get past that though, I would drop by here again, in a heartbeat. No private parking lot - you have to park on the street. Two hour free street parking, but I advise leaving your car parked at the Blarney Castle if you just came from there, and just walk the short distance to this place. Bottled beer is €3.50, pints are €4.95, a glass of merlot is €6.70.

The inside of the restaurant is very traditional and has a very warm feeling all because of the very friendly and efficient staff. The menu choice is extensive (see images of menu) I have to admit I struggled to make a decision. In the end I opted for the Badami Chicken which was Chicken cooked in almond, cashew cream sauce & flavoured with Kashmiri herbs! This was to die for a fab size portion and chicken was cooked extremely well. As there were three of us dining who are coeliac it was great to hear that the majority of the menu was naturally gluten free also. Top marks will definitely be back again on our next visit home.

I wonder do they even clean it. I can assure you will spend more time at the hospital once you have visited this place. The owner is a joke he comes around smiling asking about your food and the service when all he does is serve a serve substandard food on the plate.My overall experience of this place is absolutely horrendous. Will never recommend visiting. Also the staff seem overworked I don't know whether the owner is meeting work place standards. Hope immigration authorities raid this place to check whether he is employing people with the right to work in the Republic.
