Il Colosseo in Athlone

Wonderful food excellent service highly recommend it.

Our "go to" restaurant in Athlone. Some of us have specific dietary requirements, but the chef and the staff have always been able to accommodate our most cumbersome modification requests without an issue (when we learned that our boy is intolerant to dairy, the chef got plant-based cheese and composed a delicious, dairy-free pizza just for him!). This is also one of the very few places we've been to where, after dining, my coeliac wife has not felt unwell. This goes to show that the chefs really understand allergies, intolerances, cross contamination, etc. Their food in general is great (love their fried salmon!), their wine selection comprehensive and staff knowledgeable. It can take a bit of time for the food to get prepared, but this is a good thing, as you can be certain the kitchen is not rushing it, taking their time with each modified order, which is paramount for people with allergies. Simply allow 15 minutes extra compared to what you'd normally allow. Can't see coming anywhere else for the foreseeable future.

Beautiful food 😋 quality service best Italian in athlone quite busy when we rang on short notice as we arrived from Dublin and squeezed six of us in thanks so much for that 10 /10 all round highly recommend this little gem of a place celebrating 🥳🎉 by daughter s young birthday party quiet accommodating well done staff

Great food. Great staff. Nice ambience

Fantastic service and food. Best Italian restaurant that I eat so far !

This is the best Italian restaurant in the country. Everything is fresh and straight from Italy. Incredible food made with passion. Aldo and his brother run the best family traditional style restaurant around. Do not miss this place. If you can find something wrong with here then there’s something wrong with you. Enjoy.

My family and I ate there, everything was delicious. (The steak was overcooked but we are not picky people, we ate it. It was tasty but dry) Wine is normal, presentation is normal, (Chiken suprime so so 50/50...) to the prices there are no questions at all. I went to pay, and decided to make a remark to the waiter to tell the kitchen: We ordered MediumWell and brought straight WellDon very WellDan. And you know what he asked me with a disgruntled face? ????. "Am I sure?!" Are you a dickhead? Learn to work and listen to the customer instead of getting into an argument. I'm sure it was WellDon because I've been working as a chef for 8 years. I'm just writing this for information. Thank you

Nice and cosy bill of. Fare quite good and reasonable

Paid way over the top for six chicken wings - approx €16..No presentation, a bit of lettuce on the side, no dressing. Asked for extra celery for the blue cheese, didn’t get it. Asked for them crispy, they weren’t. Had lovely food here before but this was a serious let down. Sorry I didn’t take a pic at the time. Won’t be back for a long time.

Nice coffee but no waggon wheels.....
