Il Vicolo in Galway

The food was special and the waitress looked after us so well. We didn’t have a booking but they were very accommodating and found us a lovely candle lit table. We had the Osso Buco risotto and venison ragu and it was delicious - would highly recommend

The homemade bread was delicious. The pasta in my starter was a bit too Al denté for me, but the pasta in the main course was better. The ambiance was very relaxing. I would go back another time.

My girlfriend and I had been wanting to book a meal here for a very long time and we were not disappointed when we finally did last month. The outstanding food was only bettered by the amazing service all evening, especially from our waitress Ailbhe who was so friendly and helpful and really improved the whole experience. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back.

A very mixed bag , greeting was freindly and welcoming , shared 3 starters , ravioli , beef cheek and venison tataki , ravioli wzs delicious bursting with flavour , the beef was just shredded beef on bread , that was underseasoned and dry , also missing the 'crispy shallots stated on the menu, the venison , well was just lost in the garnish , the dish was just a bunch of elements on a plate that didnt really work in harmony together , the mains were the real dissapointment , the carbonara came out steaming hot , congealed and any chance of the egg cheese and pasta water emulsion had to make a creamy sauce was gone at this point , for something so simple to cook it was a real dissapointment , the other main essesntially just a mushroom pasta from the specials bored was ok , lacked depth of flavour and is not up to par with the price being charged , a really beautiful setting , but on this occasion let down by the food.

Fabulous spot , great food, great service - Bellisimo

Went here last week for a meal after hearing so many good reviews from friends and it did not disappoint one bit. The venison ragu was outstanding along with the service!

Went there to eat tonight, Frankie was great & food was amazing!

Food was delicious and wine list fantastic. Service also excellent.

Entrées were a bit salty, but service and atmosphere were fantastic 👌

I can’t thank the team at Il Vicolo enough for making my proposal night so special. From the first email I sent to plan the engagement, Reena and Eleonora were incredible—so friendly, organised and thoughtful alongside with the other staff working on the night who set up a beautiful private spot on the outdoor terrace after our meal so I could propose to my partner, and made the whole evening feel effortless and one we will never forget. The entire staff were just amazing as well: attentive, friendly, informative and really went above and beyond for not only us but all the customers whilst I was there. The food was outstanding—authentic Italian flavours, perfectly cooked pasta, amazing wines and beers—and every detail felt crafted with care. Il Vicolo will always hold a special place in our hearts. If you’re looking for incredible italian food in Galway, warm service, and a team who truly go above and beyond this is a must and we cannot wait to come back! I cannot thank you guys enough!
