The Old Barracks in Limerick

19/04/2026: The waitress who greeted us wasn’t very welcoming - no smile and a rather cold attitude. It felt like we were a burden. Thankfully, the waitress who took our order and served us was much friendlier, as was the one at the till. I ordered the Tagliatelle Pollo e Funghi, but the sauce was quite watery, and there were only five pieces of chicken on the plate. I still have a voucher to use, so I’ll have to return—but I won’t be rushing back

15/04/2026: There's nothing wrong with Bella Italia, but there's certainly nothing right either. You walk in and you immediately get hit with decor and layout fit for Eddie Rocket's diner, not an Italian restaurant. I ordered the carbonara with side of garlic bread. It was €23.95. It was fine, but it's not €20 food, it's €15 euro served in a diner. The staff were lovely, the problem is with the owner that thinks their prices are competitive. For €20 main courses there's much better Italians in Limerick. I can't say there was anything wrong with my experience, but I won't be coming back.
