Michelangelo Restaurant
Celbridge
12/01/2025: We had a family lunch here today, 4 adults and 4 children, as we were marking our parents anniversaries. My sister and I haven’t been to Michelangelo’s in a very long time, neither of us live in Celbridge anymore but wanted to come here as our parents would have come a lot when we were younger (I even remember ringing in the New Year with my sister, parents and now husband) in the early 2000s). It did not disappoint. The food was fresh, well cooked, tasty and the price, in this climate, for the 8 of us was so reasonable that we were shocked to be honest. Looking forward to going back again.
19/11/2024: Wow! this spot is such a great find...Who would've known I had to leave New York City to find the BEST lasagna I've ever had. Over the past decade, when I visit my in-laws, we always order from Michelangelo's. This year, we went out to eat and none of us were disappointed. Try the minestrone soup. The garlic mushrooms were incredible, obviously the lasagna. The staff is super friendly and made some amazing suggestions. I never write a review, but I wanted to make sure I did it this time!

Da Mario
Celbridge
30/01/2025: Everything was great but pizzas not cooked with wood, cooked in a gas oven. I really enjoyed the pizza but felt a bit disappointed as the name says "Marios Woodfired Pizza". A bit misleading maybe just change the name to Marios Pizza if you not cooking Woodfired Pizza because pizzas are really nice 👍🏿 ❤️ Everything else was excellent though.
07/12/2024: Review of Mario's Pizza
I recently visited Mario's Pizza, and while the establishment has some positives, the overall experience was disappointing.
First, the good: the restaurant itself is clean, well-maintained, and aesthetically pleasing. The staff is polite, professional, and creates a welcoming atmosphere.
Unfortunately, the pizza does not live up to expectations, especially given the price. At 20 euros for a 12-inch pizza, I was expecting something extraordinary. Instead, the pizza is very small, lacks a generous amount of ingredients, and—most importantly—is not tasty. The flavor is underwhelming, leaving you feeling like you've wasted your money.
In summary, while the ambiance and service are great, the core product—the pizza—falls short. For the price, I expected much more in terms of taste and value. I wouldn’t recommend Mario’s unless they significantly improve the quality and size of their pizzas. 2/5.

L'Officina by Dunne & Crescenzi
Kildare
04/02/2025: Food quality leaves a lot to be desired
22/01/2025: We had stopped in after shopping, we were very hungry and I ordered a burger as it was the most vegan free option I could find, the waitress suggested that she could tell the chef to make my burger lactose and vegan friendly, the service was great in that aspect although the food itself wasn't great. Good atmosphere in the restaurant although the food is severely overpriced for what came out on the plate, we had one course and water each and it still managed to cost over €20 per person.

Oak Alley Cocktail Bar
Maynooth
01/01/2025: Booked a table online for my Husband's Birthday. Arrived exactly on time. The Hostess couldn't find my booking in her book.
She asked me if I had booked online; I told her I had. She found my online booking and told me I'd have to wait while they cleared a table. That was fine.
We stood in the very cramped entrance as several other families arrived after us and were immediately ushered to their tables and we were eventually seated after about 10 minutes. I didn't mind the wait; but I can't understand why we were bypassed by other customers who arrived after us.
Also; when booking online, I was asked for any special requests. I asked for Happy Birthday to be sung to my Husband with dessert. This never happened. Very disappointed.
Also the food is really not great!!
Do not recommend.
03/12/2024: Great restaurant with delicious food, relaxing & friendly ambiance and very nice staff.

Romayo's Maynooth
Maynooth
21/01/2025: I love the southern style chicken box with the oreo milkshake!
Last time it was emptier, less saucy, etc and the service was slow with two staff members, but Gabriela (I might spell it wrong) made my order perfectly (super saucy and cheesy), was super nice and offered great fast service. :D
16/12/2024: something has changed in this store but it has gone downhill. the management spoke to the staff in an awful way, cursing at them and treating them like dirt on a shoe. it’s not nice to see when trying to get some dinner. the woman in charge was treating people awfully- shouting and made me never want to return.

Main Street
Newbridge
13/05/2024: I ordered 15 minutes in advance, they told me it will be ready in 25, no problem, even better to get it super hot. I got there 10 minutes ahead of their collection time and to my surprise, the pizza was already done and waiting in a warming cabinet?! I don't understand why you would do this as this type of pizza is meant to be eaten as soon as it comes out of the oven.
Too bad as dough seems to be nice and they use quality ingredients, but they mess everything up with terrible timing.
01/05/2024: ...to be honest I don't remember when I was last time eating PIZZA ( flour from the oven rather😃 ) Me and my wife Barbara decided to "show off" and bought a meal: not self-prepared. 17e GONE for one pizza with 3 toppings 👀😳
...so... I'm not a critic but: Tallaght Village Pizza deal : (pizza 7e one topping), Barbara bought 3x and 6 people happy supper eating on the church CarPark 😋
