We were staying in nearby Dromoland and were after dinner that wasn't our hotel restaurant, so we wandered into downtown Ennis and then into Passatempo. When you think cute and quaint, you picture a place like Passatempo. They have only seven tables inside and when the weather is good, they have a few out front. We grabbed a table inside and were greeted by the owner who got us started on our meal. The owner and his family, authentic Italians who are clearly passionate about the food and drink, were delightful to interact with all night! Now the food...fresh made everything! So be patient, I promise it's worth it. We started with the crostini, which was a plate of 8 crositini's topped with a variety of fresh veggies, meats and sauces. My favorite was the red wine reduced onions and cheese crostini! For our mains, we got the lasagna and the spicy sausage pasta. The pasta is clearly made in house and with love, as do the sauces. The dishes were absolute perfection and delicious! And one surprising thing was the portion sizes, which were larger than expected, and we were good with it! While we did not partake, they did have a limited menu of Italian cocktails, wine and beer. And of course, several desserts including tiramisu. Overall, Passatempo was an absolute highlight of our trip and put Ennis on the map for us - Highly recommend!

The pizza and the wine were good and there was enough pizza to feed two people. The second night we ordered Italian dishes and the same wine. That meal was good too. The restaurant is fairly large compared to other Irish restaurants in the area. That means you can all spread out during covid. Service was very good. They seem to employ a lot of non-Irish servers. Our primary server was from Spain and he was assisted by a young woman from Ukraine. This town has a large number of Ukrainian refugees and many of them work in the restaurants. If you wave to a server and she/he runs away, it is because their English is not good enough to help you. They will send over someone who can help. Just be patient.

Inside the restaurant was very nice as well, and we all enjoyed our meals. There was a very wide variety on the menu, and I heard it changes often. I ordered the Chicken Florence, which was a chicken breast in a mushroom sauce that came with a side of salad and chips. My brother ordered the Spaghetti con Pollo which was spaghetti, bacon, and chicken in a cream sauce, and my dad got a personal pizza. Very good, we all went home happy. If we were staying in the area any longer I would definitely come again and try something else on the menu as well!

We are glad that we went to Sean's pub in the evening. We had wanted to hear some live Irish music and lo and behold they had it the night we went. They have live music on Mondays and Fridays. The atmosphere was quaint with a warm feel. The food and service were exceptional! We had the Warm Goats Cheese Crostini and Fish Cakes which were recommended by Sean. They were both very tasty and we highly recommend both! All of the beer tasted fantastic! They must be really diligent about cleaning their draught lines! The pint of Guinness was the best I had in Ireland including the brewery itself! They had beer from a craft brewery called McGargles. The pale ale from them was very tasty! All in all this is a great little pub and not to be missed while in Adare!
