Osteria Italiana Da Simone in Galway

As other reviews have noted they have issues with the service here. I decided to try it anyway because it seemed like the reviews for the food were good and I was able to get a reservation on short notice. Honestly the food was pretty bland. My wife and I both felt the red sauce in our pasta dishes was tasteless, and for some reason the sauce that came with the arancini was cold as if it had come from the fridge. Never experienced that before. The biggest issue is the service. It takes a very long time between visits from the wait staff. Once we had finished our entrees we waited for about an hour, then the waitress asked if we wanted to see a dessert menu, we said yes, and then she ghosted us. I eventually had to walk up to the manager and ask about it, I was still willing to order dessert but they had run out of cake by that point, so I just asked for the check. Can't really recommend unless they make some changes to the service and the food.

Went there twice when I was on holiday in Galway and the food, service and prices were excellent.

The food is excellent, as are the prices. The place is also welcoming and clean. The waiters are quite helpful. If you don't speak/understand English well, there's always an Italian staff member to talk to. Plus, there's also background music from Italian singers.

Excellent choice in Galway. The staff was very attentive, and the location was very pleasant. We had delicious pizzas and desserts. We also had a good wine. I recommend it.

The seafood tagliatelle were truly delicious, making me feel like I was back in Italy. The lasagna was also super Italian! The only problem was that we booked a table at 8:00 PM, and when we arrived, they asked us to order everything at once (including the two appetizers) because it was almost closing time. They started cleaning up the place at 8:30 PM, and there were waiters bustling around, rushing to close everything down... let's just say we felt the closing anxiety, too, and it's not pleasant. At this point, it's best not to seat people after 8:00 PM if they're forced to eat their first and appetizers together in a rush (thank goodness we didn't order the second course at this point) and still end up spending a lot. Every customer should be treated equally; if you make me book at 8:00 PM, you should also give me time to enjoy my dinner and eat without worrying about having to close the place. For the rest, everything was delicious!

Was there for a short time, between travels, but even so I had perfectly cooked food (a monkfish dish that was cooked to perfection), the atmosphere was nice, quiet and warm, the serving was beyond reproach. I might go again, though o am not so often in Galway, and the offer is so diverse...

I mistakenly put the date a Month out… they were kind enough to fit us in and the food and service were absolutely amazing!!

Excellent food and service. A bit crowded.

Fui aquí y tenía penne arrabiatta que estaba delicioso. El personal era agradable. El servicio fue rápido. Era de 15 euros para la pasta, que es una buena relación calidad-precio. El ambiente era genial y era muy tranquilo cuando entré.

Buena comida. Tenía pasta carbonarra y era tan bueno como cualquier restaurante en el que comía. A mis amigos también les encantaron sus platos. Es solo un restaurante de vinos y cervezas, pero también sirven auténticas cervezas italianas. Experiencia encantadora! Iría allí de nuevo.
