    Again, I’m a bit of a burger snob now but I thought their chips were amazing, maybe the batch I got but they were honestly the best I’ve had around. It’s hard get good chips

    Just got Mama Mias pizzas, all I’ll say is it doesn’t travel well.

    Also asked for no onion and got onion all over the pizza, so that didn’t help either.

    Pity

    Another vote for mamma Mia here.

    Went last night. One of the nicest pizzas I've ever had in limerick or elsewhere (but never in Naples!).

    Lovely base. Thin under the toppings and nice and fluffy at the crust.
    The tomato sauce is very nice. Kind of sweet or something.
    To note that if they don't list tomato sauce in the toppings it will not have it. So the mamma Mia one we got had no sauce

    Hopefully they can make a success of it. I'm sure they will if they can keep up current standards.

    Hi all,

    Could anybody please post a link to their ordering system? Have tried looking on deliveroo etc but to no avail. Having heard such good reviews am looking forward to trying their pizzas.

    TIA

    They were on Uber Eats at the start but must not have been worth their while. I rang in an order yesterday evening altogether.

    I haven't been in it but I walked past today and there was a great smell around the street! I love proper BBQ food so I'll definitely give it a try

    Called into Mamma Mia's at the weekend. I've been to Naples twice and have eaten in many Vera Pizza places and I can honestly say the pizza here is up there with them, really really tasty.

    I got speaking with the owner and he told me that he ferments the dough for 48 hours, that's why it is so light and sits easy on the stomach. Meaning this pizza is essentially a health food :D

    I also told him that he was getting great reviews on boards.ie and that's the reason I was there. He hadn't heard of the site so I showed him this thread on a staff member's phone and he seemed chuffed. Was even offered a complimentary garlic bread - thanks guys! ;)

    Thanks they must be gone off ubereats. Their ad on fb keeps popping up saying free delivery on uber eats. This added to my confusion!

    Just back from Mamma Mia. Definitely top of the Limerick pizza list, along with Box Pi.

    Good bit of seating so when the pandemic starts easing I could see this place hopping. Staff very friendly, ingredients were excellent.

    Paid my 1st trip to the East Room last night.
    Must say, was very happy with the food, the ambience even with social distancing, and the service.

    The only real criticism that comes to mind was that with the Monkfish and lobster ravioli dish, would be that there is too many flavours battling on the plate.

    That said, that was my wife's problem ;) as I had the steak and it was very, very good.

    The trout starter, if ye get the chance give it a try!
    The contrast between the apple acidity and sweetness and the trout is lovely.

    All in all, one of the best meals I've had in Limerick TBH.

    They don't do sides as far as i can remember,
    they do really really good pizza, it's still good 15 minutes later but if you have any sense you'll eat it in the car

    Posting again for another +1 to Chippy Chicken. Just perfect every time, not a single complaint about the place, and always quick to make the food. Plus since Bulls-Eye brand have pulled their Smokey Chipotle from stores, I can't find a decent replacement to make my own chipotle mayo, so this is the only place that has a savage version.

    Carriage House Adare lunch - had a couple of breakfasts in the last 12 months, had lunch today, 12.30 reservation for a roundy birthday, four adults, two had the signature burger, one Indian curry & one fish and chips, all plates were cleared. One G&T & one rum & coke & an extra portion of fries, all came to €125 approximately

    Temperature taken on arrival by an automatic machine that declares "Access Granted", all staff wearing visors & hand sanitizer available, they are operating a one way entry / exit system, chef is masked.

    Thought my burger was lovely & have only just eaten again now, 8pm so my stomach reckons the portion size was grand

    You can walk the grounds afterwards but this time were stopped approaching the manor itself due to Covid & the fact that the Manor Hotel was at full occupancy

    Well worth it for a treat

    I got Gran Luchito chipotle chilli paste in Tesco, makes a savage mayo.

    Staff contact is minimal, take order, bring food, pay bill, two minutes maximum, not an expert but my guess is risk is hovering around zero, I've no experience of cock flavoured lollipops so couldn't possibly comment.

    Hi folks. Might be visiting for a night or two in a couple of weeks. Any recommendations for a good place for dinner? Last time we were there was a couple of years ago and we went to Azur, which was great, but I know that's gone. Something similar or better would be great. Thanks.

    The East Room is undoubtedly the best restaurant in the city.

    Had seen it was an Italian alright, didn't know it was the same people. Menu is very run of the mill so it's not really drawing me in.

    It's on the grounds of UL.

    If staying closer to the city is the aim, you can't go wrong with the French Table.

    Fish pie for main and banana split for dessert. It was absolutely delicious. Nicest lunch I've had for ages. Highly recommended.

    Freddy's Bistro is always a safe bet for a great meal. It is a tiny restaurant though, so would definitely need a booking as far in advance as possible.
