Caffe 500 in Carlow

We arrived with a booking and got table straight away with no wait. Mind you it was early enough 6pm on Saturday. Place is small but cosy. Lovely decor with Fiat 500 etc, however atmosphere was lacking. I ordered glass of prosecco and got wine in champagne glass instead so asked to change that. All good. Food is really good though. Lasagna tasted amazing and flavoursome. Pizza is made in woodfire oven and yoi can see and taste the difference. We ordered garlic bread too and please be careful when ordering it. It was great no complaints but it was full 12 inch size you basically get second pizza. Impossible to eat and the staff doesn't warn you. Maybe they expect us to know it. So we got half pizza and half garlic bread take away. No biggie just be aware of it. We have made another booking again and will be more aware now.

I visit cafe500 while in Kilkenny visiting castle. Ever since I dream about theirs pizza...such a shame this place is not closer to my home😆

Anything were in Kilkenny, this is the place to go. Excellent food. Great prices

The food was delicious and reasonably priced. The portions were generous.

Enjoyed a fabulous lunch of mixed Bruschetta, garlic mushrooms (to die for!) and Caesar salad between 2 of us. Great food highly recommend !

great place, great people and most importantly true italian pizza, coming from an italian

Top experience. From the staff to the food. After a week of fish and chips, we finally had Italian food. Spaghetti carbonara was better than many in Italy. Ask for the Italian version because they'll ask if it's the Irish cream version or the Italian version. I had the Italian version and it was spectacular. My husband had the pizza with spicy salami, it was so good it was devastating. And the tiramisu was tops. Delicious. Our son also had the pasta with tomato sauce and finished it all. The service was fast and super friendly. Italians, go there, you won't regret it.

Excellent food all round! Love the vibe and the decor of the cafe. Fresh cut chips is always a big winner for me too!

Fantastic authentic Italian food in Carlow

Pizza and pasta dishes were so fresh and tasted amazing. Staff were so good with our little kid too!
