What caught my attention as I was browsing restaurants on the web was their extensive, separate vegan menu, which includes a handful of delightful desserts. I started with the tomato basil soup which was very tasty. For my main course I had the vegan Bolognese which was accompanied by vegan garlic bread and was very happy with it. They were so kind to let me taste the vegan mozzarella they make in house and after 3 and a half years of being vegan I can honestly say it was the best vegan mozzarella I have ever tasted. I ended with the vegan chocolate cake which was served with a very delicious fruit of the forest ice cream. It was almost brownie-like and there was no shortage of chocolate. I could have licked the plate clean. My brother had the lasagna on the main menu and said it was in the top three lasagnas that he has had in the WORLD. His wife had the Tagliatelle Mari & Monti who said it was absolutely delightful and not too fishy. They also finished with a chocolate cake (which was not vegan) and said it was delicious. Everyone was very kind, including the owners daughter, whose name I unfortunately did not catch. The food was so good I envisioned moving here and eating here every week. Extremely thrilled I convinced them to accompany me at this wonderfully delightful restaurant. I will be back in the near future and already cannot wait!

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!

The antipasto is very tasty and highly recommended. The frutta di mare dish was alittle disappointing it lacked flavor and the prawns and mussels were small, considering it was the highest cost item on the menu they can use larger ingredients. We had a group of 12 and the place was not that busy during dinner, we asked the waitress if the chef can come out and see us so we could complement some of his dishes and she comes back saying we can stop by the kitchen on our way out! Really! We probably spent the most money that evening. Sounds like the owner chef needs some training in restaurant hospitality and the waitress lost an opportunity for a 20% tip. This is what happens when tips are not part of their compensation in Ireland. Anyway good food for sure.

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
