    Incredible mussels.
    Brittany V.

    I am not exaggerating when I say this is the best Italian food I've EVER HAD! I would have never expected to find Italian food this great-tasting in Ireland. We had the rigatoni, spaghetti bolognese, spaghetti scoglio and some alfredo fettucine (called a different name that I can't recall). Their mussels, garlic bread and wine were also fantastic. The tiramisu was top notch. You really can't go wrong! Do make reservations, though. This place gets busy in the evening.

    The original restaurant I wanted to try was closed on a Monday so I happened to run into other tourists who told me about Mona Lisa so I thought I'd try it out. WOW I was blown away with how amazingly delicious and authentic the food is!! The cook and waiter are from Italy and they know how to cook! You can get a lot of the menu items as tapas style so I decided to try a variety. I started with a glass of Pinot and the octopus starter, I was not disappointed. Then I got the sea bass stuffed ravioli with prawns and mussels and the flavor was incredible. I finished with the most tender beef I have EVER tasted (ask for the slow roasted beef). I have traveled to 21 countries, and this by far was the best beef I've had. The service was fantastic (waiter was Thomas), ambiance lovely, and if you're in town, please take my advice and come to Mona Lisa. (I know in the pic I spelled "muscles" wrong lol)

    Delicious for take-away - I wish I'd discovered Mona Lisa pre-COVID so I could get to sit in as well! We were blown away.

    Estuvimos comiendo en Venice Ristorante Italiano, en Galway, y salimos encantados. Pedí el Calzone…read moreespecial de la casa y estaba espectacular: masa perfecta, bien relleno y con un sabor bueno. Mi pareja pidió canelones, que estable igual de ricos, caseros y muy bien preparados. Pero además de la comida, quiero destacar algo que para nosotros fue muy importante. Al entrar preguntamos si alguien hablaba español y el cargado (creo que italiano) mención a Laura. Desde el primer momento nos atendió con una sonrisa y una profesionalidad excelente. Nos asejó muy bien qué pedir y estuvo pendiente de nuestra mesa durante toda la comida, igual que de otra mesa cerca donde entonces había españoles. Para quienes viajan y no dominamos mucho el inglés, se agradece muchosimo que el restaurante cerca con personal que hable español. Es un detalle de la empresa que facilita mucho las cosas y te hace sentir más modo. Gracias al restaurante por ese gesto y, sobre todo, gracias a Laura por el tratado tan amable y cerca. Un sitio muy recomendable si visitas Galway. Almorzamos en el Ristorante Italiano de Venecia en Galway y nos fuimos absolutamente encantados.

    We passed this amazing gem of a restaurant, and were drawn in. Its setting was quiet and peaceful,…read morewith nice artwork on the walls. Very friendly staff helped us promptly. The menu has many amazing dishes; amazing starters and their mains are outstanding. My wife chose the risotto, and I had the tagliatelle: both were truly scrumptious. And their deserts were just as perfect. We will definitely be back!!

    Based on a million recommendations, we went in for pizza. Live wasn't too bad. Very friendly…read moreworkers. We ordered the proper ham and mushroom pie and a margarita pie. I also had a banana soda, which was delicious. The ham and mushroom pie was ten stars. Excellent. Crispy charred crust, salty ham on top. And the mushrooms were not those boring ones like a papa John's:) Margarita was a disappointment. It may be a cultural gap but the cheese was not fresh mozzarella! Instead it was basically a cheese pizza. Enjoyed the boisterous dining area.

    When you think of Ireland, pizza probably isn't the first thing that comes to mind. But Dough Bros…read morecompletely changed that for me. I stopped in while visiting Galway, and I now fully understand why the locals love it. The crust was perfectly crisp on the outside with that ideal chew in the center. The ingredients tasted incredibly fresh, and the flavor combinations were bold without being overcomplicated. You can tell they care about quality. The atmosphere was relaxed and fun -- energetic but not chaotic -- and the staff were friendly and efficient. It felt like a local favorite that also welcomes travelers with open arms. In a country known for hearty stews and pints of Guinness, finding pizza this good was a surprise highlight of my trip. If you're in Galway, don't skip it. Trust me.
