19/12/2025: Very authentic Italian place with nice cocktails and cheese/meat boards. They have a lot of different items on the menu to choose from. The lady from Abruzzo Is very friendly and welcoming.

16/12/2025: Efficient and friendly service with helpful menu advice. We were a group of 8 and everyone enjoyed the experience. The antipasti platter was particularly good.

16/12/2025: DON'T BOTHER!! I went in and asked for a table for one around 4:30 pm. The hostess asked me how many of us there were, then started looking at her screen. The other host walked back and they began speaking to each other in another language. She then looked at me, smiled, and said they didn't have anything available at the moment. There was no option to wait a few minutes or anything. All the other 1-star reviews had a similar or worse experience with rude service. DON'T BOTHER!

06/12/2025: Party of four for dinner. Limited gluten free options. Service was slow but they were very busy to be fair. A side salad was just a bowl of lettuce, which seemed poor. Overall, some meals were good, but slightly over priced. 10% service charge was added by default, which is bad form for a small table. Wouldn't go again. Pleasant atmosphere and a good view though.

14/11/2025: Fantastic experience this weekend for a special birthday celebration lunch. Virginia and the entire team at Oliveto and The Parlour, were outstanding. Nothing like a warm welcome and personal service as well as fabulous food, beautiful surroundings and a venue with style. We are very grateful to Virginia and the team for their upbeat, professional engagement and service. Our drinks and bar snacks afterwards at the Parlour with some additional guests, were also superb and enjoyed by all. A big thank you! We will be back!

08/12/2025: We visited this restaurant last Friday and were really disappointed. The food itself was only okay, but the prices were extremely high — I had a half-portion of spaghetti that cost €24. We asked for tap water and were still given a bottled water, which added another €8 to the bill. The service felt reluctant and not particularly friendly, and when we went to pay, we were shocked to be asked for a gratuity of 20% or €10 (€30) per seat. For the level of service we received, this was completely unreasonable. Overall, it was not a good experience and we won’t be returning.

06/12/2025: Lovely place, all the personnel are polite will be back again 🥰

08/12/2025: Great Italian food, very nice coffee the best in swords. Great little spot.

06/12/2025: Pizza is unreal, the best you're going to get, the staff are also lovely.

13/12/2025: Pleasant cosy cafe with some nice food and good coffee with Italian people working there. Enjoyable for brunch.

09/12/2025: What a special place! Shhhh it's a secret hideaway! Drinks were fantastic, staff are great! Picked up a set of rocks glasses and their menu to take back with us!

14/09/2025: Service was appalling, was trying to order a drink was asked to move certain area so I did. Then proceeded to get ignored by the bar staff who asked me to move in so I asked why, again because I was “not in the que” even though there was no designated Que here sign. Didn’t get name but very distinct staff member, Round glasses and mullet working upstairs by the smoking area absolutely awful service. All could have been avoided by better communication.

13/09/2025: Great sevice lovely food unreal cocktails and great vibes
