    This place is wonderful. The food is as good as food I have eaten in Italy, the staff are polite…read moreand don't overwhelm you but always seem to appear right when you need them. Loads of options on the menu and they are always willing to make adjustments for the picky eaters among us. Nice wine selection too. Interior is nice and cosy, book ahead though for groups larger than six and most tables are for two or four.

    Was visiting my dad in Enniscorthy and he brought us to a relatively new Italian right by the…read moreriver. I'm not one for Italian food in Ireland as I find it pretty boring and often caters to the carbonara/lasagna eaters and not like the food you get in Florence or the like. That was not he case here. Firstly, the starters. There were three of us. Two of us had soup, each one was different and both was lovely. The other person had a wonderful Sicilian chowder. This was a new one for me. Chowder is just creamy fish soup in Ireland but this was a tomato based soup with large chunks of fish along with whole shellfish and a massive langoustine (Dublin bay prawn). That person had been to Sicily and had this dish and she said it was 100% authentic. Two of us had a Monkfish special and it was cooked to perfection. There was a tagliatelle pasta dish also with Italian sausage. It was very tasty. It appeared to be good value with main courses from €17 to €25. We shared a bottle of the house wine which was surprisingly good. I didn't notice until too late that they had a few Italian craft beers that I had never seen before. They were from Birrificio Montegioco and one was called Draco, an 11% barleywine and the other was Rurale, a 5% pale ale. The waitress brought them over for me to inspect when paying the bill so I would be prepared for the next time I was in. I can easy say that this was the best and most authentic Italian food I have had in Ireland and I will be back the next time I'm in Enniscorthy.

    This is my first choice place to go in Enniscorthy. Always forget to book, so have missed out a few…read moretimes. It's tex mex, but it's been around for ages so they can't be blamed for copying the recent hipster trend. They have all the usual favourite. The ground beef burrito is my favourite dish with baked potato. The wedges are also a great side, better than the frozen chips- avoids those. They also have an extensive dessert menu. Like the meringue sundae, with the chewy bits at the bottom. The wine choice isn't great, with limited options though they might have upped their game recently. Worth checking out the early bird. No 5 stars as they could be more flexible with their bookings ( they always seem indifferent on the phone to being full). Also tried to add a fifth to the last 4 person table one time but they said no chance- the place is huge with loads of space around the tables.

    Yep not bad! A bit freezer to fork to be fair! It's a tex mex menu in a standard room with a pair…read moreof cowboy boots sellotaped to the wall. So! Decor null points! It's a nice room but hardly the Alamo! I got wings, cold! But bbq sauce was divine! Burger needs work lads! Gig doesn't mean good way to much bread crumbs which I hate in a burger, leave them out make it smaller and let the meat do the work! Chips done in dirty oil, everyone knows that dreaded flavour so get that sorted chef! I don't want to be completely negative, the food is OK the price is reasonable and the house wines are good and well priced. I just think with a bit of work this spot could be amazing and it wouldn't take much! Oh the staff were exceptional as in really nice, competent and prompt Aargh I'm torn on this place, I'd love to run it for six months the potential is huge
