Bella Italia Castletroy in Limerick

The waitress who greeted us wasn’t very welcoming - no smile and a rather cold attitude. It felt like we were a burden. Thankfully, the waitress who took our order and served us was much friendlier, as was the one at the till. I ordered the Tagliatelle Pollo e Funghi, but the sauce was quite watery, and there were only five pieces of chicken on the plate. I still have a voucher to use, so I’ll have to return—but I won’t be rushing back

There's nothing wrong with Bella Italia, but there's certainly nothing right either. You walk in and you immediately get hit with decor and layout fit for Eddie Rocket's diner, not an Italian restaurant. I ordered the carbonara with side of garlic bread. It was €23.95. It was fine, but it's not €20 food, it's €15 euro served in a diner. The staff were lovely, the problem is with the owner that thinks their prices are competitive. For €20 main courses there's much better Italians in Limerick. I can't say there was anything wrong with my experience, but I won't be coming back.

All five stars for the amazing restaurant in Thomas St However the Castletroy restaurant leaves a lot to be desired The manager with the glasses is loud and rude I was unable to get a bowl of soup on Wednesday 4th Feb as it was ten minutes to lunch time, three other people were sitting and eating , I was told only take away soup I walked , literally, next door to Hook n Ladder and the wonderful reception I got , given a table immediately and served soup, they were so busy, wonderful atmosphere, only three people sitting in Bella Italia , any wonder

The pizza was delicious. Service was excellent. Thank you!

Small but quick service which was good for us on route to Waterford.
