I ordered the Penne Bianca and my fiancé ordered the Italian Meatballs which came with a small salad and bread. Both dishes were amazing! Our favorite dish was the penne. They only had two wine options but would allow you to bring in your bottle if you'd like. The environment was charming. I would definitely return here if I was in the area again (we're from the US).

I love Il Colosseo and more recently I love visiting their new spot down stairs Incontro 52. Food…read moreis always amazing and the servers downstairs are super nice and friendly. The sauce that comes with the meatballs is delicious, I would eat a bowl of it on its own. Their carbonara I get every time I come and it's always perfect. The upstairs (Il Colosseo) is often very busy but still has a nice atmosphere, but as they serve food in the bar downstairs now (Incontro) I go their more often as it has more of a cozy yet modern feel to it and they take walk ins (no booking). Always recommend to anyone looking for a good foot spot in athlone!

Came here for an early dinner at 3:30 on a Sunday. We got a lovely table by the window…read more Host/waitress were efficient. My friend got the Greek salad and loved it. I got the spaghetti bolognese. Awful. Sauce was sour. It smelled bad. The noodles were cooked al dente, but the sauce smelled like canned dog food. They don't serve any bread with the meal. They don't put any Parmesan cheese on the spaghetti or salad. The glass of house red and white were decent. Nothing special. There must be better Italian nearby. Also, it was at least 80 degrees inside the restaurant with almost no moving air. I couldn't wait to leave.

We were on the way to Galway and decided like many others to have supper in Athlone. We settled on…read morean Italian restaurant but when we got to the location it wasn't there. So we found another place right next to it that was also Italian coincidentally. Three of us ordered pizza which were thin and crispy nothing incredible but very good pizza none the less. The pizzas were very large and for the price I was very happy with what we got. My mother ordered the risotto which I did not taste but she told me it was delicious. It looked very appealing and seemed creamy which is a must for a good risotto. Lastly my sister ordered the penne and chicken which I did taste. It came with a cream sauce that was well spiced and once again was a great dish. All in all, this place may not be anything spectacular but it offered great tasting and filling food at a very reasonable price. It is for sure not the best Italian I've ever tasted but I really enjoyed it and would go back.

What an incredible hidden Gem at the heart of Newbridge!…read more We've heard about this place from a few of our friends and decided today to check it out. What a check out it's been, my partner started with the Garlic flat bread, Delicious! I myself started with the Prawns in a spicy tomato sauce adorned with tomato & rocket with chilli, incredible. We're about to have our main, my partner has gone for the basic option of Pizza, I will try the Chorizo & chicken breast on a bed of Penne with a spicy sauce! We cannot wait to try more amazing dishes from this establishment in the near future. 100% recommend this restaurant.

We ordered appetizers (bruschetta pomodoro and caprese salad) and main courses (spaghetti pomodoro, ziti with chicken and broccoli, and spaghetti with clams and mussels in white wine sauce).

The only caution is that they only take cash. No credit cards. Highly recommend this place for dinner!

The reviews and appearance of the restaurant looked promising so I decided I'd give it a try especially since they offer gluten free options. Although the staff was friendly and the restaurant was cute inside, the service was slow which didn't make much sense since I only saw 3 or 4 other tables occupied. The more disappointing part though was the food not being great. Maybe I should have tried something else and yes it was gluten free but I've definitely had better gluten free pizzas at other authentic Italian restaurants.
