05/05/2025: I can't put into words how much their pasta means to me!!

05/05/2025: The food here is amazing, a really authentic Italian. The Antipasto starter to share was delicious, our pastas were both incredibly nice and filling. The service was very friendly and welcoming, would highly recommend and look forward to coming back.

01/05/2025: Chicken sandwich was incredible. Thank you

26/04/2025: Tremendous sandwich, delightful cherry tomatoes and the owner was fun and funny.

04/05/2025: We had a lovely evening for our staff night out. The place looks beautiful and feels very comfortable. The atmosphere is calm and welcoming, perfect for a group dinner. The food was very tasty and full of flavour. The presentation was lovely. There were many choices on the menu, and everyone found something they liked. The staff were friendly and polite. They looked after us very well and helped make the night even better. It was a great experience, and I would recommend Momo to anyone looking for a good restaurant in Waterford.

04/05/2025: A must be restaurant in Waterford. Food is unbelievable. We had beef Rib and pork risotto. Absolute stunning. Can wait to come back and try the rest of the menu. Fair play to you chef!

31/03/2025: This place is my favourite cafe in Dublin and I’ve sampled a few the food is always top notch and I still haven’t gotten a bad meal from here the staff are always helpful and extremely friendly and the desserts always very good too I personally recommend the rice crispy square. You won’t ever go wrong here if you choose to eat

29/03/2025: Excellent food, decent service. It's small but seems like people come and go regularly. I was surprised at the portion sizes and how delicious the food was for how unassuming the place it. Recommend it!

12/04/2025: Lovely tasting coffee, milk was very velvety and the coffee was beautifully crafted and made to a lovely temperature that it was fresh and warm but not too hot which alot of places actually make they're coffee's too hot. Lovely chilled atmosphere inside even on a cold night. Staff were very friendly.

06/04/2025: Fab café with lovely friendly staff and great coffee. Always a welcoming space for all, delicious sandwiches and healthy treats.

27/03/2025: Great coffee Great food. Just like a vist to Roma !

15/03/2025: Fantastic, flavourful food, friendly service, good pricing. Make sure to make a reservation!

31/03/2025: Gorgeous meal recently. Staff friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, cosy booth seating available and the food was perfect!

18/03/2025: We found food in Bodega to be incredibly tasty: both meaning that it has a strong taste and that the taste is deeply enjoyable. That's a very good reason to give it a second chance as the rest (service and atmosphere) was not where we would have liked it to be. We went in on a very busy night and so we're ready for some sub optimal things. We were surprised when we got our food in 12 mins (not what you would expect for a crispy duck leg and fresh pasta). We were also quite disappointed when the 2 cocktails we ordered arrived when we were toward the end of our main, after we had to solicit them and the waiters came back a couple of times to clarify the orders they had taken. The atmosphere was very lively but seeing waiters literally running up and down the place and repeatedly dropping glasses and glass bottles didn't help having a relaxing enjoyable night. That contested with them literally stopping to talk to customers who were paying to go and hugh other customers who were leaving. It didn't help that at the table right close to us there was a very loud group of friends celebrating someone's birthday.

12/04/2025: Excellent restaurant with quality raw materials, Guinness above average, if you pass through Waterford, stop by.

04/04/2025: Excellent evening here, great food, brilliant staff and great atmosphere. One of the best steaks I have had in a long time.

15/04/2025: Different Class…. Genuinely the best Lamb Carvery dinner I’ve ever had, biggest portion I’ve ever had also

14/04/2025: I came into the cove Monday 14th April at 1:09, was left standing at the bar hatch with no staff coming near me, finally I asked a staff member for a seat and I got pointed towards a table with verbal communication.....I was then left sitting at the table for 15minutes with nobody coming near me again, so I get fed up and left 1:41....waste of a half of my time. Staff don't look one bit happy to be working. I liked this pub for food, come out with my kids once a week. We'll I won't be back now. Ridiculous carry on.

25/04/2025: Absolutely delicious meal here and unreal service, will absolutely be back!

22/04/2025: Really cozy place, friendly staff and good prices

19/03/2025: Flawless tasting menu with the perfect pairing of wine. A must try! We ended the dinner feeling happy, satisfied and not overly full, which is always a risk with this type of food experience. We found the pace to be perfect. We never had a dull moment. There was a perfect cadence of: bring the wine, explain the wine, allow a few minutes to enjoy it, bring the new course, explain the course, taste the course, clean, bring the new glass & restart. Toward the end of the dinner we started noticing how they adapted seamlessly to the pace of every table so that it felt they always left exactly the same time in between stages while they clearly weren't. Very smooth. Luis has great storytelling and a very good sense of humor that brought lightheartedness to the dinner, something that we always like and made us feel super comfortable. In fact, while it's clear there a lot of work went into preparing the dinner and then in serving it, I would never call this a "fancy dinner". It just didn't feel so, which means bonus points for me. All the 7 wines served were very interesting and tasty. Some were even surprising (like the first, which was a sweet wine!). All the courses were an explosion of flavour, often presented in surprising ways and the base ingredients were clearly very good. If I have to call out one single area of improvement, I think the finale could be improved. I found the mini madeleine of the petit-fours underwhelming. I then lacked a strong taste to end, something like coffee as they don't have decaf (they said they are getting a new machine) or a spirit (I think they only have wine & dessert wine)

26/01/2025: This was a beautiful place to eat. I could not recommend it highly enough. Food was top class. Owner was very attentive and pleasant. We will definitely return.

17/04/2025: Very traditional Irish pub Recommended

14/04/2025: Very pretty traditional pub, quick and pleasant service, huge full English breakfast which will keep you going until the evening meal.

25/04/2025: Very friendly service. Quick with the order and high quality tasty food

11/04/2025: What a class Burger, on a sunny day ! It was a great lunch 👌

09/04/2025: A beautiful Victorian bar in Waterford with stunning original fittings, great Guinness and very friendly staff.

30/03/2025: I appreciate the effort that went into every detail of this pub; there are too many details for one review. It’s not just a place for an unreal pint of Guinness but it’s a living museum where you can soak in history from sitting at the bar. The craftsmanship and authenticity make it one of a kind. Fair play to the owners, there’s nowhere else in Ireland anywhere close to it. The way the Guinness comes out, there’s no way it can have bubbles, it’s a mystery. This pub is a museum with free entry and incredible pints.
