I also had a banana soda, which was delicious. The ham and mushroom pie was ten stars. Excellent. Crispy charred crust, salty ham on top. And the mushrooms were not those boring ones like a papa John's:) Margarita was a disappointment. It may be a cultural gap but the cheese was not fresh mozzarella! Instead it was basically a cheese pizza. Enjoyed the boisterous dining area.

And our orders were phenomenal. Probably our best meal in Ireland. We got a variety of pastas and an Italian meat pizza. #16 for my daughter; sauce was yummy, pasta was fresh and the seafood delish. Pasta primavera for the wife; light sauce with strong flavors dominated by garlic. My son got the pizza and put it in his top five all time pizzas. I had the #19, which comes served in parchment paper which seals the flavor in. And the flavor was amazing. It's a small restaurant with limited seating so be sure to get a reservation. But small doesn't mean cramped, it's a very cozy and charming atmosphere. Can't recommend it enough just f you're in Galway.

The exterior has bright…read moreorange eaves blending into the lively Quay Street around it; once inside, you'll find a relaxed, slightly bohemian space with artful décor and comfortable seating that feels like a polished local favorite. The vibe is upbeat and casual, loud but not overly so: great for group dinners, laid-back evenings, or a hearty meal after a day of sightseeing. At around 6:30pm on a Sunday night, our group of eleven needed a dinner option close to the station before our bus back to Dublin. There was no seating inside the restaurant, but plenty of space on the heated patio outside. The menu has something for everyone, with small plates, sandwiches, pizzas, and pastas, and there's also daily specials and a fairly affordable drinks menu. I ordered their Beetroot & Goats Cheese Salad (€15), which was a fresh salad of mixed leaves, beetroot, vinegary-pickled onions, acidic-sweet marinated tomatoes, rich warm goat cheese, mixed nuts, and extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze. This was a wonderland of textures and flavors, with crunch and softness, acidity and earthiness; for me, the true standout was the generous portion of two sizable pieces of melty, creamy goat cheese with just a slight hint of tang. I also appreciated the fact that the salad wasn't drenched in dressing, but thoughtfully drizzled with a light EVOO and mild balsamic glaze. I initially thought it was a bit pricey, but it was a large portion, and I found the goats cheese made a great substitute for a more traditional salad protein; additionally, the freshness of the vegetables made me willing to pay more of a premium. Other great dishes included their Spicy 'Ndjuja Pizza (€16 - a thin crust pizza topped with tomato sauce, mozzarella, spicy 'nduja sausage, Cashel Blue cheese, and a drizzle of honey), Primavera (€16 - pasta with roasted chicken, sundried tomatoes, and red onion in a creamy Parmesan sauce), and their Bailey's Tiramisu (€8 - the classic Italian dessert spiked with a splash of Bailey's...it was absolutely as delicious as it sounds). I will note that the pizzas seemed to be a better value than the pastas, as they were larger portions at similar prices. All in all, Freddie's is a fun Italian-inspired (if not entirely authentic) restaurant in a heavily-flocked area of Galway, service is friendly (if a bit slow when it gets busy), and prices are reasonable for the location, portion sizes, and tasty food. It's an easy pick for anyone in the area wanting an enjoyable night out!

The reviews and appearance of the restaurant looked promising so I decided I'd give it a try especially since they offer gluten free options. Although the staff was friendly and the restaurant was cute inside, the service was slow which didn't make much sense since I only saw 3 or 4 other tables occupied. The more disappointing part though was the food not being great. Maybe I should have tried something else and yes it was gluten free but I've definitely had better gluten free pizzas at other authentic Italian restaurants.
