The best restaurantsof italian in Sligo

19/01/2025: perfect place to eat and have a pint after a walk on Cliffony Beach, very decent seafood, pizza and a smashing burger

01/01/2025: My husband, I and our two kids had dinner here on a Saturday evening. We had made no reservation due to having just arrived in the area but had phoned in advance to try book a table to be informed the restaurant was full but that there was a table available in the bar if we got there in time. I thought the man would offer to reserve this for us but he didn't. We were staying in mullaghmore having just arrived with no food for the week so gathered ourselves and dashed here with time running out in order to get food. We were grateful the table was available when we arrived and to get food. We ordered Chicken wings for starters to share at €10.50. No bones in them: very tasty and well flavoured though. We ordered chicken strips for our 2 kids (aged 6 and under) to share at €9.50. They were pleased and satisfied with this. My husband picked the Asian street food €20.95. This dish came with a warning that it was salty and it lived up to that warning but this was right up my husband's street and he was happy as it was also spicy with plentiful prawns. I settled on the Seafood pie at €20.95 with a chosen side of sweet potato fries. Piping hot, tasty and filling, I was more than satisfied. As the non-driver, I had a Glass of house red (cabernet Sauvignon) 250ml which I thought was steep at €9.30 (priced revealed when we ordered the bill). We also got Miwadi at 80 cents for the table which was reasonable. We asked for and were provided with colouring books and colours for the kids which occupied them. Overall, highly recommended for food which was tasty and reasonable which is refreshing these days.

07/02/2025: Used to be good, now a total rip-off I’ve been coming here for years, but the quality has completely gone downhill. The pizza is still good, but the pasta doesn’t taste homemade anymore—feels like something store-bought, maybe even from Lidl. The worst part was the dessert. The menu promised "fresh whipped cream," but I got canned cream with two strawberries cut into four tiny pieces, served on a roof tile—for €10! Absolutely ridiculous. My wife ordered the cheesecake, which was more jelly than cheese, served in a biscuit with two pyramids of canned whipped cream. The other dessert I had was a Baba Napoletana, which was basically a cheap cupcake soaked in sugary water with more canned whipped cream. You can get a cheesecake from Lidl for €5—100 times better and 5 times bigger. This place has clearly turned into a cheap corner-cutting operation, and my bill came to over €100 for this nonsense. I’m beyond disappointed and definitely won’t be back.

06/02/2025: Dined in rugantinos recently. The restaurant seemed very clean, the food was lovely although portion sizes could be larger for the price. Our server was lovely and seemed knowledgeable on the menu. Will absolutely return before leaving Sligo!
