We decided to have dinner in Midleton after the Jameson whiskey tour and took one of Conor's (a…read morebartender from the tour) recommendations to La Trattoria. And we are glad we did!! The place was small but felt newly remodeled and like all the other restaurants in Ireland so far, the staff was very nice. We had pasta (penne Bolognese) and a spicy pepper and sausage pizza. Both were good, not the best we've ever had but we were happy with our decision to go there. After we ate, we started chatting with the couple next to us. We were impressed that they managed to eat a plate of chicken wings as a starter and soup, followed by a full Irish dinner for him, and a large salad for her. They were likely equally impressed that we finished our pizza, garlic bread and most of the pasta, followed by a HUGE piece of chocolate cake and ice cream! The only negative review about this little restaurant was that the bathroom was dirty. We would still recommend, and hopefully that's a non-issue for anyone else.

I ordered a cocktail that I'm assuming would be blocked via Yelp- so P-Star Martini is where we will end :-P It was good, but the best I had was in London a few days prior. I ordered the bangers & mash and was not disappointed. Their serving sizes were more than generous and the food was seasoned quite well. This is a place I'd give another go if in town.

You walk in and you feel right at home. You can tell that everything is made from scratch and most likely DOES come from a farm nearby. Hubs and I started with an incredibly creamy and delicious seafood chowder- studded with oodles of fresh fish, and then moved onto a Scallop Salad with bacon and other tasty morsels. So divine. Though we're not big dessert people, the Irish seem to love it and there is a huge table of desserts right in the front of the restaurant that beckons you. We caved and ordered the creamiest, most decadent and lovely lemon pie tart that I have ever had. I am pretty sure they must add cream to the filling just for fun. I mean, it's Ireland and they add cream to everything. So. good. Go here. Eat and be happy. Have dessert. You won't be sorry.

I've been here a few times now which speaks to the quality of food. When you walk in it's a very clean restaurant. Outdoor seating that unfortunately allows smoking and smoke does occasionally blow in through the door. Other than that the ambiance is immaculate. Good music, clean bathrooms and a clean looking kitchen what more could you ask? The service is one of the few shortcomings of this restaurant. We've been there a few times and a couple of times it seemed like the service was a bit slow. We have had to remind the waitstaff what we ordered. They're always polite and apologetic about anything missed, but they are a bit slow fairly often. The food is unimpeachable. The taste of almost everything on the menu is amazing. The portion size of the menu can be a bit mismatched. I'm not that hungry of a person but a single sushi roll will not suffice for your average appetite. Be prepared to order multiple courses or a few sides but it can add up fairly quickly. I usually get the hot roll and something else but it usually comes out to about 45 euro or 50 usd. It's a good restaurant but be prepared to pay a bit more and wait a bit longer. Delicious though!
