Espresso in Waterford

Really good. Where a kg of mussels means a kg of mussels! Lively food all round.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Absolutely Stunning Dinner I stopped into Espresso Waterford for dinner recently and was completely blown away by the quality of the food. This place is a real gem in Waterford! I ordered the Tagliatelle Bolognise and my dining companion had the Prawn Pil Pil. Both dishes were, without exaggeration, exceptional. The tagliatelle was clearly fresh and cooked to a perfect al dente. The bolognese sauce was the star of the show – deeply rich, slow-cooked, and packed with layers of flavour. You could really tell it had been simmering for hours; it was hearty, authentic, and absolutely delicious. The Prawn Pil Pil was equally impressive. The prawns were plump, juicy, and cooked flawlessly. The sauce was a beautiful balance of garlic, chili, and olive oil—spicy enough to have a kick but not overwhelming, allowing the sweet flavour of the prawns to shine through. It was so good we were using the bread to mop up every last drop! The service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere was relaxed yet sophisticated. It’s the perfect spot for a dinner. We will absolutely be back to work our way through the rest of the menu. Highly, highly recomm Don't leave without soaking up all that incredible Pil Pil sauce with their bread. You'll thank me later

One of my favourite restaurants in Waterford. I had a lovely meal there Friday evening with my daughter for a special occasion. The food was delicious as always. The staff are very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Highly recommend Espresso for eat in or take away.

Ordered a pizza for takeaway top class as always

Party of 13. Great food. Great hospitality.

Very lovely place to dine with friends and family...

Absolutely fabulous meal this evening, missus had the Tagliatelle Abruzesse with chicken & mushroom in a cream sauce. Top notch. I had the 1kg mussels in tomato & garlic sauce, even got a side of spaghetti made to order with garlic, olive oil, parmesan and black pepper, really tasty. The bruschetta starter for herself and my Caeser salad with chicken & bacon was superb. Met the chef Claudio, very nice guy, and the staff couldn't do enough. And just a tip, get their Pinot Grigio. Really nice light wine with a good meal. Thanks Claudio and staff, everything was spot on. P. S. We were half way through dinner when herself thought of taking a pic, too late. Maybe next time.

Excellent service and excellent food

Good food, but very noisy. Nice atmosphere.

Excellent Family Run Restaurant
