The Italian Bakery
Waterford
10/07/2025: Was looking forward to trying this place for lunch so invited a colleague, we were left standing at the counter for 15 minutes before the girl even took our order. I asked for the roasted vegetable toastie and was told that they didn't have any. It was on the menu so I asked "can't you make one?" And was met with a shrug of sher shoulders.
I then asked what was in the sourdough rolls on display at the counter, she answered "ham and cheese" I asked, "what type of of cheese?" since the menu had varying sandwiches with pecorino or scammorza etc. And I wondered if the ham she referred to was cooked ham or prosciutto crudo. She replied, "Oh, I wouldn't know that"
I gave up and asked for one of those, i then asked if I could get some tomato on it, she said, "they are all pre-made".
I asked, "well, do you not have any ingredients here? No tomatoes? Couldn't you chop one up and add some?"
Which, to me, did not seem an unreasonable request, In an "Italian" place, tomatoes being the cornerstone of Italian cuisine.
She shrugged again. So I paid for my coffee and sandwich and asked for a glass of water. She said, "sit down and I'll drop everything down to you. Another 10 minutes passed and she brought our food to our table. Cooked ham and still not sure about the cheese. No glass of water!
I went back to the counter and asked for two glasses of water, (one for my colleague) she handed me one, I said
"sorry, I asked for two glasses" and was met with a sigh. Then she proceeded to argue with another customer because they didn't take their table number to their table, before getting the second glass.
Anyone can have a bad day but she clearly wasn't very good at her job and didn't want to be there.
Maybe I should lower my expectations, but was quite disappointing. The most Italian things about this place were the imported Italian pasta products displayed on the shelves.
You'll find more variety and staff knowledge of the offerings (and get a warmer welcome) at a deli counter in any convenience store chain.
10/05/2025: Coffee served in paper cups instead of mugs.even though we ordered on the site.

Chopsticks
Lismore
08/01/2026: The food is a typical cheap chinese that isn't so cheap. Some of the dishes are ok like the curry, others use a bland basic fish sauce. The owners are very nice people but the woman on the till is very rude and always smoking outside and smells of booze. No gluten free options really as its all fried together.

Ballybeg Pizza & Kebab House
Waterford
20/11/2025: Good pizza, nice staff, great price
10/07/2025: Saw good reviews elsewhere so gave it a try. Chips were average at best. Battered sausages were the worst ive ever had. Whoever made the batter doesn't know how to make batter let alone they were drenched in dirty oil. Burger was cheap quality garbage in a stale bun. Wouldn't order again
I understand the damage bad reviews can do but if you don't want them then don't serve DIRT to paying customers. Food was barely fit for human consumption

Abrakebabra
Waterford
30/12/2025: Ordered food from the Abrakebabra in City Square Shopping Centre Waterford and the chap behind the counter was so rude. He looked to be by himself collecting trays and taking orders and doing food prep, which is understandable for the intial delay in service. However, when my friend and I went to order Animikh was so rude to both of us, i was asking to see if I could order items with my meal and I could not hear him he did not try to help in any capacity. He asked why we had not ordered together, as if thats any of his business, god forbid we would want to pay separately for our own food! Service was exceptionally slow. The food was fine, only slightly cold (for food that had been cooked fresh is impressive), the onion rings were overcooked and inedible. Wouldnt come back here to eat again.
26/11/2025: Food is fine but there is only one member of staff running around trying to do everything, ultimately from the stress rude to customers as well.
