I absolutely love their breakfast menu. The bacon is authentic Italian pancetta and their smoothies are so refreshing and a great boost to start the day. I always get the pancakes with eggs and bacon and sit by the window facing St Finbarr's cathedral cos the view is so fabulous! They have plenty of tables and the staff are so friendly. The menu is very reasonably priced

Stopped by for something to eat whilst waiting for the cathedral to reopen. I opted for the chai latte and a sandwich. Both arrived quite quickly and were delicious. Staff were lovely, and very welcoming. Highly recommended.

Authentic Italian eatery that is unpretentious and decent value. The amatriciana was fine but the lasagne was excellent quality. There is a huge range of items on the menu and the titular tiramisu dessert was very tasty with a huge portion.

This place never fails to bring a smile on my face. The staff are hard working, friendly and very welcoming. Next, the coffee: a GODSEND, delicious options to choose from, or classics that deliver every time. The pastries are fresh and delicious and the lunch options are great comforting options. Overall, this is a place I'm happy to keep coming back to.

Friendly staff. Nicely located opposite the very beautiful gothic church. Cosy bar with relaxed atmosphere. I could unwind for a bit after walking around the whole day. They lent me an adaptor because I forgot to bring mine and needed to charge my phone.
