We had dinner booked for 4 at Emilianos. We had two visitors from Spain and we are senior citizens…read more It was reasonably quiet and we were relaxing enjoying our food and drinking our wine. The owner approached us and requested that we leave out table as it was required. We pointed out the empty tables but to avoid a scene we got up and moved to another table beside the one we were sitting at. We all thought this was UNACCEPTABLE. We asked what compensation there was for this behaviour. There was nothing on offer. I have to say we were shocked and despite sending an email to Emilianos we have not heard a word or any acknowledgement of what the great need was to remove us from our table to accommodate 4 young people. We felt very much used and abused at the attitude. IT WAS NOT BUSY IN THE RESTAURANT. We didn't know and were not made aware that they needed the table but they had no problem ousting us to a nearby table several of which were vacant at that time. I would like an apology from Emilianos for treating us as if we truly did not matter. It is great having lovely food but if you cannot be treated with dignity and respect WHAT IS THE POINT. Our friends from Spain could not believe what was happening that we had to move to accommodate four youngsters. It was an experience that none of us are likely to forget. Emiliano would do well to remember that if you have a good experience you tell approximately 2-3 others but if you have a bad experience it is anyting from 15 up. Being treated as if we did not matter was a truly bad experience. Regards Cummins family

We found ourselves searching for a restaurant that was actually open on a Saturday night and…read morehappened upon Luigi's. As another review stated, it says "La Bella Roma" out front. There is a menu board near the front and there is also a daily specials blackboard on the opposite wall behind the counter. There are only 4 tables inside and they are all two-tops. There is an outside eating area out back that has an Italian countryside feel. The man behind the counter was extremely friendly and accommodating. We finally decided what to order and he said he would bring everything to our table. First the bread, oil, and vinegar were of the highest quality. The Prosecco was very good and actually had a cork in it. My son got the pizza and I got the rolled stuffed pork special. Both were outstanding. When in Youghal I highly recommend this place. Especially if you're a little tired of fish& chips or shepherds pie!

This is my second trip here I decided to treat my coeliac mum. When we booked we informed the…read morerestaurant that there were two coeliacs in the group and were told this would not be an issue. Boy they were right! From the minute we arrived we were treated like royalty. We were told all the gluten free options and any that could have gf substitutes. I had pan seared scallops for starter with a pea puree, best scallops I have had in a long time! I chose the chairman mao pizza for mains. This had carrott shavings, shredded duck and hoi sin sauce on it not to mention topped with prawn crackers! Apple crumble for desert to finish off a truly fantastic meal with top class service. 4 people, 3 courses and a bottle of wine for 140 fantastic for the huge selection on offer!

The restaurant itself has a fancy feel right what you walk in, but the menu doesn't feel too fancy in terms of options, and I don't mean that a bad way! Dim lighting, and an elegant feel to the place. They have a bar, but it's quite small. They did ask us if we had a reservation when we walked in, so maybe plan to make one if you intend on going! We got two salads and a pizza. The pizza reminded us of Punch Pizza, a restaurant back in the states. They were great, and honestly like a sense of comfort food. It all came out so fast, I want to say 10 minutes or less. After dinner, we got the Apple Tart and Tiramisu. I'd order the Tiramisu in a heartbeat! So summer and delicious - definitely get that if you have room! Service was great too. When you're done, you stand up and pay by the bar. That's something we've had to adjust to while over here - to not wait for the bill at the table. Overall, 4 out of 5 stars!
