The best restaurantsof italian in Sligo

16/07/2025: Service was excellent and food was delicious. We got a recommendation to stop here on our way to Donegal and it didn't dissapoint.

04/07/2025: Very friendly staff. Nice feeling about the place. Food is excellent 👌

05/07/2025: Location is great in the center. Food wasn’t great; pre-heated. Google says it closes at 10 and at 9.15 they were already saying kitchen was almost closing. The waiters were rushing up us trying to tidy our dishes when we weren’t finished. If they are not able to take more people, then don’t accept it. Food quality not worth it

26/06/2025: Rugantino, Sligo Ireland I have visited this restaurant many times over the years with family and friends. We used to enjoy the food, the Italian-style atmosphere, and the location. However, my most recent experience has completely changed my impression. I briefly sat down on an empty chair at one of the outdoor tables on the terrace, simply to take a short break. I didn’t order anything. Shortly after, a woman (presumably the owner) came out with a menu. When I politely declined, she **spoke to me in a rude and humiliating manner**, ordering me to leave the property, claiming it was private and only for paying customers. While I understand house rules, **the tone and attitude were entirely inappropriate**, especially coming from someone who represents the business. It gave the impression that the **owner has little respect for either customers or her own staff**. Additionally, I’ve noticed for quite some time that **the ventilation inside the restaurant is poor** — every visit left my clothes and hair strongly smelling of food. This creates discomfort, especially when you have other plans after dining. After this experience, I no longer feel welcome and **cannot recommend Rugantino to anyone who values respect, good service, and basic courtesy**.
