Great dinner spot in Sligo!…read more When we arrived, it was busy but we were seated right away to a table. We ordered penne al salmone, fettuccine abruzzo and garlic and cheese chips as a side. The penne al salmone was a creamy tomato pasta with smoked salmon. This was saucy and so delicious! The fettuccine abruzzo was a creamy cheese sauce with pancetta, peas and mushrooms. Both pasta dishes were great. The garlic and cheese chips were also yummy. Service was efficient and friendly as well. Overall, awesome Italian food which exceeded our expectations.

My husband and I came to Rugantino in Sligo for dinner and had a very disappointing experience. The…read morestaff were rude, and the service was terrible from the start. I ordered the carbonara, but it was extremely salty and eggy -- I only managed three bites before I let the staff know it wasn't edible. Instead of offering to replace the meal or help in any way, they just took the plate without saying a word. No one checked in, and no effort was made to resolve the issue. Then, to top it off, I was still charged €10.50 for the dish I couldn't eat. When I asked for the manager, a staff member said she was the manager, but never introduced herself or showed any care about the situation. She said I was charged because I "gave back the food." It's not about the money -- it's about the complete lack of customer care or professionalism. We left extremely disappointed and won't be returning. I wouldn't recommend Rugantino to anyone.

Sometimes you just get lucky when you choose a restaurant in a foreign country. We hit the jackpot…read morewhen we chose the Italian restaurant, Passione da Simone (also known as Passione by the Slice). It was opened 8 months previously by Simone Volante, who had immigrated to Sligo from Monte Cassino (a town north of Naples). If you live in Sligo, we highly recommend that you come to this restaurant as soon as you can. This restaurant was like being in Italy - the food was freshly prepared with the best Italian ingredients. Simone was so animated and fun to talk to and with. The menu is all Italian and quite extensive, plus Simone will customize any dish just for you. We started our meal with a bottle of Rosso Piceno Red Wine - a full bodied and really good wine. For our appetizer, we had the Caprese - fresh Burrata cheese with freshly sliced tomatoes, Italian extra virgin olive oil, salt and basil; on homemade, focaccia bread. I was so excited to see Arancini on the menu and had to have one. This is a Carnaroli rice ball coated with bread crumbs and stuffed with porcini mushroom and mozzarella. Wow - what a start - both were beyond delicious. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his Tagliatelle alla Bolognese. Simone suggested that he make me a special dish of Tagliatelle with Pancetta, Funghi Porcini, Truffle and Stracciatella cheese sauce. This pasta dish was over the top in flavour. Thank you, Simone, I loved it! We finished the bottle of wine; so, my husband had a glass of Primitivo. To end our fabulous meal, we split a Tiramisu - Italian cookies soaked in coffee and amaretto liqueur; with sweet mascarpone cream. We liked this restaurant so much; we went back two days later. Simone was as welcoming as the first time - now we were family! We liked the wine we had the first time, so we ordered another bottle of the Rosso Piceno. Our starter this time was the Bruschetta di Terra - toasted bread topped with speck and gorgonzola cheese. We enjoyed Tagliatelle alla Cacciatora and Lasagne. My husband likes his sweets; so, he finished with a Cuore di Ciccolato -a chocolate lava cake topped with whipped cream. I wished we lived in Sligo; this would be our go-to place for Italian food. Thank you Simone for another delicious and entertaining evening with you!

While we were waiting the bartender poured us a few drinks and he was super friendly. We order fried mozzarella, margherita pizza and sausage tagliatelle. The fried mozzarella was average at best. The tagliatelle was tasty. The pizza was initially good, but then we realized it was super salty, the crust was even super salty. Our server was a sweetheart, she was young and gave us great advice on where to go out after dinner, we are traveling with my 19 year old son.

Still not much customers around, the atmosphere was relaxed, elegant, with soothing background music. Had the early bird two-course menu with a pint and a dessert. Pint of Guinness: well poured, the bubbling foam lasting a long time, very creamy and silky mouthfeel. Jack Daniel's Chicken Wings: fried to perfection, crispy on the outside but juicy and hot meat. The JD sauce was a pleasant surprise, with refreshing maple syrup taste and a bit of smokiness that is typical of a JD whiskey, while also having some pleasant spices. 10oz Striploin steak: added €6 to sub for this, requested medium. Steak was grilled to perfection, eye-catching grill marks, juicy texture, packed with beefy taste. Though I wish the garlic butter sauce could be made with a bit more salt, and the chips could use a bit more crispiness on the outside. Ice cream sundae: though the flavors were standard vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate, the taste was very rich and smooth. Service was friendly and attentive all over. Though with some small hiccups, this has been a very pleasant experience. Would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Mullingar, and try to catch their early bird menu if you can. t
