The Definitive Limerick Restaurant and Takeaway Thread

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

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!

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

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!

Met the wife for lunch in Cafe Rose on Roches St, it was really good and very busy!! They seem to be doing well and judging by our lunch it's well deserved!

Went to Mamma Mia last weekend and have to say best pizza I have had outside of Italy.

Anyone know what sides Mamma Mia do?

All these posts have given me a hankering for pizza and I've convinced himself to bring me to collect it.

Where is Mama Mias? Its website says thornbury raheen but is that not a housing estate?

It’s at the very top of William street next to Europcar or Entreprise or whatever is there.

If anyone is feeling the spin, Stoneoven in Caherconlish do amazing pizza also.

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.

Where’s Box Pi?

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

Those visors aren't as useful if not worn with a mask.

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

Visors on their own are as much use as a cock flavoured lollipop

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.

Oh noted, because I reached out to Bulls Eye and they basically confirmed it's discontinued in Ireland... Will try that next time. Cheers!

Does anyone know of a place doing takeaway lunches around Castletroy or in the city? Something a bit nicer than a deli ideally.

Completely forgot about The Factory, thanks. Ended up getting takeaway from Bella Italia.

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.

Azur has just changed names, same proprietors, Rossi's Italian grill now.
