The best restaurantsof otras cocinas europeas in Galway

14/06/2026: While visiting Galway from the States, we were here to celebrate my in-laws anniversary. Felt higher end than the surrounding pubs for more of a celebratory experience/a step above the other dinners we had during our trip.

14/06/2026: My goodness what a gem we found. I can't recommend this place enough! Our waitress who was possibly Italian herself. She was so lovely and welcoming and gave us some history on some of the dishes. The olive focaccia bread that was brought over at the start was beautifully baked and so well flavoured. I ordered a pork pasta dish and my friend had the carbonara. My dish was well presented and just the right portion size. The sausage meat has a hint of spice and was just so lovely. My friend admitted it was the nicest carbonara dish she has ever had! We decided to try the cocktail menu and went for Italian Lady. What a drink! Tiramisu is one of my favorite desserts and can be a real hit or miss in restaurants. A lot of the time they can end up not soaking the sponge fingers in coffee/liquor for long enough and it is quite dry but the sponge was moist and the egg whites were very well beaten into the layers as the creamy texture and flavour was divine. Being a bit of a food snob as I grew up with a pastry chef who studied in France as a Mother, I can tell you the food here was just incredible and if you like to find hidden gems that has great offer great flavours and a nice atmosphere this is it. I would love to come back and visit again and will be recommending it to friends and family. Thank you for having us.

22/05/2026: Doesn't karaoke sound like a fun activity for Hens and Stags? I thought so. If you thought so too, well...UNO REVERSE. NO SILLY SINGING FOR YOU. FUN ACTIVITY DENIED. Hens and Stags, Massimo does not want your money. We (a group of 10) tried to drop in for karaoke night as part of a pre-wedding crawl, and we were promptly kicked out because they "don't do hen parties." I was very confused, and truly thought this was a joke when the bartender told us to kick rocks. We did not enter loudly or obnoxiously, and were not looking for them to "do" anything but trade some pints for euros and endure some off-key songs. Maybe the folks at Massimo are perfectly nice and have been traumatized to the point of PTSD by screeching packs of bridesmaids. Maybe they actually can't handle more than 10 people at a time. (We would have doubled the clientele at 8pm on a Thursday, had we been allowed to stay.) Maybe they hate joy and want to keep all of their advertised karaoke to themselves. I don't know. And if you are hens or stags traveling in a pack larger than two or three, neither will you. Because they don't want you there, and they will ask you to leave.

26/04/2026: The worst bar in Galway, never will I enter there again, aggressive bouncers, beer taste pour, avoid this place. Bouncers are agreeive and bad people. Bouncers are very touchy!!!!!
