The Dough Bros
Galway
21/03/2026: It was great service, atmosphere, and I enjoyed their own lager as well. Yet, the pizza was nothing special and too sweet for what I would have expected.
20/03/2026: It was a cute place ! Worth a visit, not the best pizza I’ve ever had but still great!! Garlic sauce was amazing though

Osteria Italiana Da Simone
Galway
06/03/2026: Very impressed with the food.
My seafood risotto was delicious. Fish cooked perfectly. Prawns gorgeous. I can't do spicy but the pieces of chilli were large enough for me just to work around.
My Sisters pizza was delicious as well. Exactly what pizza should be. Cheese excellent quality. Flavoursome sauce. Floppy thin authentic base.
Service wasn't great. They were lovely and friendly but just that even when it was quieter later on they seemed to forget about us alot.
Also the restaurant should set up a seperate card tap for tips. They done allow you to add to main bill and ppl don't have cash much these days so management should do right by staff and set up a separate tap payment for tips like other restaurants have done.
Downside..acoustics. it's one big large room and noise levsl is very high when full.
22/02/2026: Excellent food, amazing service and super friendly staff. Best mushroom’s risotto and tiramisu ever!

Woozza
Galway
16/03/2026: I just want to say something to people leaving reviews here.
Yes, sometimes the delivery might take a bit longer than expected — it happens with many places. But please don’t destroy the rating of this place because of that.
The pizza here is honestly incredible. The ingredients are fresh, the taste is amazing, and you can tell it’s made with real care. Places like this are rare.
I know this spot well and every time I want to order pizza, this is the only place that comes to mind. That says a lot.
Also, the staff are great — the girl at the counter is always very friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better.
02/02/2026: it’s nice and small. Love getting their small margarita pizzas.

Mona Lisa
Galway
09/03/2026: The food was excellent and the atmosphere was ambiant, lovely soft lighting and beautifully laid-out.
The service was a different story, however. My friends and I were thoroughly enjoying our meal when we were abruptly served our bill, while we were still eating our mains and well over an hour before close (people came in and sat down to eat after this incident occured). It very much felt like we were being hinted at to leave.
However, since we had each bought a main and drink we decided to continue enjoying our food and wine (more than half of the bottle was still left).
Not long after, a waitress came over looking for our payment at the table, while most of my friends' glasses were still more than half-full and little over an hour after we had sat down for what we thought would be a meal (I can't call it that as we weren't given the option to order desert, which we had wanted to do). If the previous action had been a hint, this felt like a warning that our time was up.
Just to reiterate: this was still over an hour before close and some other customers had not even been served their food, so the kitchen was still operational as was the bar. Other customers who had been sitting down eating when we arrived were still there after we left. Looking around, it seemed we were the only table to be served the bill so abruptly, which felt uncalled for as we were polite all evening and caused no trouble.
I will say that each of the waiters was polite and courteous, it felt like maybe they were pushed into urging us out the door by someone higher up since their manners didn't match their actions.
Delicious food but I for one won't be back sadly as none of us felt welcome here.
15/02/2026: Really good service and atmosphere.

Trattoria Magnetti
Galway
06/03/2026: I feel a bit mean giving 2 stars but we were very disappointed in the food !!
The bruschetta was lovely and a generous portion.
The pizza was not good. Very inauthentic. Cheese hard. Like they've used a cheaper option. It should be soft flavoursome mozarella Pepperoni very fatty tasting.
But the dessert was the worst. It was a chocolate mousse. It tasted like it contained no chocolate. It was high sugar gloop. It tasted like cheap melted chocolate ice cream. Chocolate mouse is made with dark chocolate and eggs. Mill chocolate mouse is acceptable but it shouldn't taste like this! The staff member said they'd.changed their recipe..hopefully they'll change it back! On of the strangest desserts I've ever had in a restaurant.
To be fair the waitress dealt with it extremely well and did not charge us for it. Good handling of a complaint is an excellent quality in a restaurant. They could easily pull up their socks and bring up their game here.
But until then our experience was that there is far better Italian food elsewhere in galway.
03/02/2026: Staff are obnoxious and rude will not be back place should be closed down I’ll give it a month . Disgusting

Zappi's
Galway
15/03/2026: A hidden gem in the centre of Galway. These are Pepperoni pizza and Pizza Italia with Parma ham, the best pizza I've ever tried in Galway and even the most Neapolitan 😂 This place is in the centre near Eyre Square, inside there's Italian music and Italian style that makes you feel immediately near the Colosseo. Prices are not more expensive than others pizzerias.
10/10
07/03/2026: Avoid this restaurant portions are awful and food tastes store bought. We got bruschetta and it was 6 cherry tomatoes cut up with some dried herbs on a small baguette slice.
The gnocchi is store bought and tasted like slime. My lasagna was chunky and covered in cheese so it was greasy. We have been here multiple times before but it’s gotten worse and worse with each visit.
There is no passion, care or love put into the food. When we said to the waitress about the food quality she didn’t seem to care or want to do anything to help.
We paid over €70 for an awful dinner that I could have made 10 times better at home.

Giovannis Galway
Galway
18/02/2026: Love this place, staff are lovely and friendly. The kebabs are fabulous.
Just this evening the chips were so undercooked I had to pop them in the air fryer when I got home.
Still love the place though
18/12/2025: This is the second time I buy from them, the second time the same problem, they don't pay attention to what you order and make your food the way they want it not the way you ask, the staff is very rude, disrespectful, and they are paid from our money, if you want your business to continue to run, change the staff and give your customers what they ask for, I'm sorry but I will never buy from you again
