    Abbey Street in Bangor is maybe not the most glamorous location and you are unlikely to feel…read moretransported to Tuscany from the outside but the quality of food in this place is actually really top notch and make it a big hit for me. On my last visit I had a delicious Pizetta Marina(Flat bread and Seafood chowder kinda deal)for starter and an amazing Stuffed Chicken breast for main. The food was absolutely fantastic, well presented and a veritable treat for the taste buds! With it being BYOB I generously helped the missus work her way through a bottle of wine or two even though I don't drink the stuff! That certainly helped make the bill more palatable as well as you save a small fortune not paying restaurant wine prices. The atmosphere is very laid back with traditional Italian music playing softly and the decor is simple but fairly elegant. Service was good if a little stuffy. The waiter seemed a nice fellow but not the sort you could engage in any conversation or banter with. Overall though I would recommend this place to anyone as a well priced restaurant in Bangor. that serves quality food.

Downfalls are that the restaurant is too big. An Italian restaurant usually has an intimate feel and this did not. Also there was a strong smell of cannabis coming from the kitchen at times.

    Last night we finally dined at the newly opened Mama Masala Glengormley . My 5 year old daughter,…read morewife and I dined and we were missing my 9 year old, who was at a friends party but gave us strict instructions to bring her back a pepperoni pizza!! I've dined in the original Mama Masala Londonderry (owned by the same owners) and really enjoyed it so was looking forward to tasting the food! I've been following the journey of this new restaurant avidly (Metamorphosis ) and have written about the Story. Whilst we looked at the extensive Indian and Italian menu we nibbled on fresh, crisp poppadoms served with three sweet dips/chutneys. The menu was a very well thought out and well designed one and there were plenty of dishes to choose from!! We chose Vegetable samosa and garlic prawns to start and my little one wanted her chicken nuggets and chips!! My wife also had a mojito which she said was delicious. The presentation of both the prawns and samosas was very elegant and appetising. The 2 large king prawns were served butterflied, with tails on and in a rich, garlic sauce and were amazing. The three filo samosas looked a bit oily and when we cut into them discovered they had meat in them. We flagged this up and the staff were very apologetic and the proprietor Gagan personally served us fluffy perfect Punjabi vegetable samosas. These were exactly like one gets in Punjab itself and delicious suffice to say!! The portion size and taste of the nuggets and chips was excellent. For main course my wife opted for the chicken penne and I the rara gosht with Mama Masala Nan. When these were served it was quite literally a "wow" moment. The pasta was served in a large dish, the lamb in a deep oval dish and there was plenty in each. What really struck us was the authenticity, the very generous quality meat content (chicken breast, lots of tender chunks of lamb interspersed with minced lamb or keema) and the flavours!!! The pasta was in a creamy, yet not too heavy sauce with a nice touch of sun dried tomatoes and basil. The rara gosht is certainly one of the best Indian dishes I've ever had, even my wife loved it and she's not a big lamb eater. The nan was soft, full of flavour (Chillies and coriander) and was ideal with the lamb and pasta!! The dish was full of flavour and spice and not oily or sweet or artificially coloured. This was the real McCoy!! Our waiter remembered that we had ordered a pepperoni pizza to take and he duly presented it to us as we were leaving. The venue was superb, the staff were tremendous and the food was exceptional. I can now say that this will be a firm favourite of ours and is highly commended!!

    This is a great option, when looking for pizza, salad, or even calzone. They had a few appetizers…read moreon the menu, also, I can't remember exactly what those were now. I had the lunch special, and was really pleased with the portion size and the flavor. There are two different salad options and any of the pizza options included in the lunch special. I had it with a glass of white wine and it was a great midday meal overall. The restaurant is clean, the servers were attentive & knowledgeable. I'll be back!

    I like pizza. I really like pizza. I'm accustomed to American-style pizza and therefore when…read moretraveling outside the US I'm typically disappointed in either the crust or toppings available when I travel abroad. Don't get me wrong - I know that restaurateurs must cater to their market but I know what I like and a corn, pineapple, ham pea and mushroom pizza - as I was offered in Taiwan not long ago - isn't appealing. I found Little Wing while wandering around Bangor my first night in town and mentally noted to come back before I headed back to the States. When my fiancée arrived a few days later, I suggested we try it. We arrived around 1930 on a Friday night and the place was already fairly crowded, but we were seated in the small-ish and tightly tabled place quickly. Our server quickly brought us menus and took our drink order and then hustled back with them. The wood burning oven near us filled the room with amazing aromas while we waited for a bowl of minestrone soup and an order of cheese garlic bread as our starters, which both arrived fairly quickly. The cheese garlic bread was basically a nearly oval-shaped thin crust pizza - delivered to the table uncut but with a pizza cutter as a utensil so we could cut pieces to whatever size we wanted - with no sauce but with a nice mix of cheese and garlic seasoning. I'm not a fan of minestrone but my fiancée insisted I try it and I was blown away by how good it was. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful and was served hot. By now the place was completely full with a wait for a table several parties deep - arrive early if you have after-dinner plans and are on a schedule. The pizza itself arrived in about 15 minutes which I felt was reasonable given the crowd and the number of "takeaway" orders we saw being collected, including several 24" pizzas in giant boxes. Like the garlic bread, the pizza was delivered to the table uncut but with pizza cutter. We watched it come out of the oven and placed on a flat piece of wood - a nice touch - and brought to our table. The ingredients were fresh and flavorful and the pizza tasted amazing. Everything about the place exceeded our expectations and we resolved to return and explore the menu a bit more on a return visit yet this trip. I've added this small local chain - 4 or 5 Belfast-area locations - to my favorites places list on my visits to Northern Ireland. Well done!

    By far the best meal I've had since coming to Ireland! This is conveniently located in St. Ann's…read moresquare. We made a reservation here a couple days ago and were seated quickly. There is a 4 course meal option here where you can get a starter, a pasta, another main entree (+£5 if you get the steak and +£6 if you get the market special fish, which in this case was halibut and was delicious), and a dessert for £46. I got beef carpaccio, beef ragu with papardelle, lamb, and tiramisu + my friends ordered some different dishes so we could all try a little of everything. The food was absolutely amazing! Service was attentive + friendly! It's definitely not cheap, but if you're looking for a good "treat yo'self" option in Belfast, look no further than here!

    Group of us got together to catch up and thought we would try Coppi. We had been here last year and…read morethey have since done a renovation. The place has comfortable seating, combination of booths and chairs. It's a very noisy place so if you're going with more than 2 or 3 people it will be difficult to have good conversations. We were well taken care of by several servers that kept water and drinks coming when requested. We started with the Focaccia with olive oil, Cerignola Olives, and Anchovy Toast, Stracciatella & Marinated Peppers. The starters were well received and everything was very good. We then placed our orders, too many to list here, but I had the pea and ham risotto and a companion had the gnocchi. It was requested that the gnocchi only have the tomato sauce but it arrived with the basil and cheese on top. The dish was okay but nothing spectacular. It was offered to remake it but we declined just for lack of time and holding up everyone's dinners. The pea and ham risotto had whole peas and several small slices of ham on it. This dish was like eating a plate of melted cheese with peas thrown in. It was hard to distinguish the risotto from anything else in the dish. The pistachios had a nice toasted flavor to them but the cheese just over powered everything else. Some of the other dishes ordered were the duck ragu (seemed well received), but the beef cheek dishes were not well received and had a number of comments that the quality and flavor wasn't there. From what we recall from last year not only was the restaurant renovated but so was the menu and I think we preferred the old menu. Not sure there will be a return visit if we come back to the city again.
