FINE
Athlone
05/10/2025: The Best Italian Pizza in Ireland!
This is a big claim, but I stand by it. Fine is owned by an Italian family, and the Pizzaiolo (pizza maker) is born and bred in Naples, the heartland and birthplace of pizza.
I’ve lived for decades in Italy, and my wife and son are Italian, so I know what real Italian pizza is and I have found it in Athlone! The real deal. Long fermentation, proper dough shaping to keep the air, and 100% Italian ingredients this is REAL Naples Pizza!!
Fine has done the impossible, bringing a piece of Italian land to Athlone. It feels like stepping back into Italy without the cost of the flight. Everything is 100% authentic and homemade. If something runs out, he stops he never substitutes, real Italians never compromise with food.
Fine doesn’t stop with the pizza. Every day they make homemade Italian desserts, as well as focaccia and sometimes lasagna and other dishes. The lunch menus change and evolve, just like in a genuine trattoria in Italy.
As with any real trattoria, they have limited space and ingredients, so I’d advise booking for pizza to avoid disappointment. Everything is made fresh, not only is it delicious, it’s also healthy! When it’s finished, it’s finished, that’s part of the magic.
This was an amazing find for me and my family. It’s lifted our spirits and made my son feel as if we’re back in Italy. We look forward every Saturday to our little trip “home,” thanks to Fine!
If you want to take a trip to Italy, just walk up the main street in Athlone and you’ll step right into the culinary heart of Italy. A truly special place in the heart of Athlone! No Italian food lover can miss a trip to Fine!
05/10/2025: 100% Original food from Napoli. Absolutely delicious!

Kin Khao
Athlone
07/09/2025: Probably the best food I have had in Ireland and definitely the best Thai food I have outside of Thailand. We were beyond surprised to find this gem in Athlone. The food was so delicious and very authentic.
Rachel is a super star! She is very friendly and attentive. A huge shout out to everyone in the kitchen and a young man from KL who brought us our food.
KinKhao a roi maak!

Sean's Bar
Athlone
16/10/2025: Great atmosphere. Friendly bar staff. Would return.
16/10/2025: Stood in line at the bar and watched bartender chat it up with guy behind me and made his 4 drinks first. Not the Irish hospitality we have been accustomed to. We won’t go back and will tell our friends to skip this stop.

Bastion Kitchen

30/09/2025: Incredible food, fast service and lovely atmosphere. Only downside is there are not many places to sit!
We had Poached Eggs and Peanut Rayu, and pancakes for breakfast. They do generous sized portions and it’s super tasty!
Everything is reasonably priced and great vegetarian and vegan options.
Plant based milk is an additional cost.
