Nice, casual lunch at a rustic Italian spot in Naas. It was pretty quiet when we went at lunchtime, so not much atmosphere, but that worked in our favour as we were seated quickly and everything felt relaxed.
We went for a quick lunch with pasta, salad, and a bolognese. The food took a little longer than expected to come out, but nothing too major. The bolognese sauce itself was really nice, good flavour and enjoyable overall.
The only downside was the pasta was slightly overcooked, to the point where the spaghetti would break when twisting it on the fork, which took away from it a bit. Still, the sauce carried the dish and made it a decent meal.
Overall, a solid enough spot for a quick lunch with good service, just a small improvement needed on the pasta texture.

Girls service was pleasant but no good probably vaping when we wanted to pay bill no one was there, dot. Think we won’t back there again can’t eat cold pizza mozarella should not be hard you need to be passion about food there’s no passion there .. sad ..
Got a takeaway carbonara and I had to put it in the bin , was not edible.. the pasta was not cooked fully, there was no flavour their website describes creamy sauce it was just dry . And at the price of 15.95 for a takeaway carbonara it should have been nice. Would not recommend
we had a little dinner Sunday at that restaurant and disappoinment was huge.
Restaurant looks well on interior but pizza has no taste(flavor)...all cheap products or the guys in the kitchen don't know about that game.My son had a small pepperoni pizza from kids menu and the amount of pepperoni slices they through it in was unbeliveble (2 full hands of slices ).The boy try to eat it but he told me even is taste bad because is not cooked ,he left all the pepperoni in the plate and eat just the bread as much is possible.When the waiter came to clean the table didnt ask if all ok or anything . Very disappointed with that experience !!!
Our visit was disappointing. The carbonara was overly salty and lacked flavor. My girlfriend’s pasta was also bland.
The service wasn’t outright rude, but there was no warmth or politeness. I asked two different waiters for still water and never received it by the end of our meal. Unfortunately, the experience did not meet our expectations.
