Every-time I come back to Galway I visit Venice. I try and not comment on other restaurants negatively but let's just say that they all have a lot to learn from this tiny but perfectly formed eatery. The menu is more or less the same as during my last visit. On my recent visit there was a " pasta prawn... More

I absolutely loved the food. I got number 23 it was a penne pasta with chicken in Parmesan sauce. It was delightful. The service was average and the tables were very close together. The only truly bad thing I can say is this old lady next to me literally complained about everything for the entire time and it made the... More

This was my first time visiting this resturant, I had the pizza & my friend had the salmon. My pizza was the best I had in a long time. The salmon dish was excellent with plenty of veg. Excellent value for money, no rip off here. I certainly will be back.

Tiny little Italian restaurant that was amazing in the City Center. Luckily we got there before all the tables were taken. The service was five star and so was the food. Great value for a lot of food as well. If I return to Galway City I definitely will be having dinner here again because it was so good -... More

Such a small place that filled up almost immediately. Te owner kept pushing people off and away for lack of tables. Wine selection is limited. Pasta is pretty good. Service was sloooow. We finally had to chase down the waiter to pay.

Found this wonderful and quaint little restaurant one evening whilst debating where and what we fancied that evening for eats. We were not disappointed. From outside it seemed the restaurant was too busy and that we'd probably not get a table, we were about to walk away when the waitress came out and said she would get us a table... More

Cosy little restaurant near centre. The food was excellent and well presented. There appeared to be limited seating but we enjoyed our lunch.
