J. H.

A very nice Italian restaurant. Food was very well cooked. I got the pork belly and the meat just fell apart. I haven't had pork like that in a very long time. However this restaurant is a bit on the pricier side. But certainly worth it if you want to try somewhere different and are passionate about your food.

Very tasty dishes, you could tell the chef(s?) put a lot of thought and skill not only into preparing and cooking the food but also in putting together an interesting menu. An incredible selection of wine. The waiter was really lovely too. Cool paitings on the walls. Relaxed, friendly and welcoming atmosphere. I had a great time

My husband and I visited Alba for the first time since we moved here. We were very impressed with the food and the atmosphere of the restaurant. Great quality ingredients , there were a lot of attention to details in each of our dishes. There are a lot of interesting dishes plus dishes of the day to choose from. A big range of wine too, though we couldn't had any drinks this time but next time we will plan better. Great service and we enjoyed the saxophone tonight! Everyone is so friendly. We sure will pay regular visits. Highly recommended!

Dinner tonight was great. Lovely seafood and risotto, and very tasty tiramisu. Great atmosphere and staff. Highly recommend the food.

M. B.

My Brother and I eat here on Tuesday evening for the first time. The restaurant has a real nice atmosphere. The chef was very informative and attentive as was all the staff. Food was full of flavour ,real Sicilian cuisine . I can't wait to return and try more of the dishes 😋

S. L.

Was a lovely local restaurent! I visited for my birthday with my boyfriend and we had an absolutely great dinner. Prawn and red pesto pasta was really good, also smoked chicken penne pasta was good. We ordered cannoli dessert as well, which turned out really good. I just minus one star because of the price in comparison that the restaurent is located in kind country side. However, I believe they use valuable, organic ingredients !

L. H.

Interesting menu! Food was delicious.😋 Service could have been a little quicker, however we're living in strange times with staff shortages etc., allowances have to be made.☺️ Will definitely go back.🙃

G. P.

Great food and friendly staff. Possibly the best Italian restaurant in Ireland.

R. C.

Nice looking restaurant.Got antipasto starter for two which was very miserable.2 small pieces of cheese a few pieces of meat and maybe 2 or 3 sun dried tomato.Was really not worth the money.Had a steak which was nice and the wife had pasta which she also thought was nice.House wine was good.But waiter had no personality at all🙄.

L. O. M.

You have to go here if you’re in Enniscorthy. It’s not just the best Italian Restaurant in Wexford, but probably one of the best in Ireland. It has such welcoming and warm staff who accommodated my wife and I with two small children at short notice without any grumbling. The specials were amazing as was the bolognese the kids got. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough.

D. W.

Lovely food..Great selection of wine. Great chef 👍👍

m. h.

Good food, good service. Only point was that the tiramisu was not fantastic and different from the rest which was excellent

N. C.

Fantastic food. I has chicken breast in pepper sauce and my wife had mushroom and spinach ravioli. The desert was divine. Tiramasu. There was a jazz guitar band playing background music which suited the place very well.

C. D.

Just had a delicious meal, I recommend you try it if uv not already been 👍

M. C.

Super food. Chef is actively going round speaking with everyone while still preparing food in kitchen.

D. H.

Easily the best restaurant in Enniscorthy. Great ambience and very relaxed atmosphere with authentic italian decor. The Waitresses are very nice and attentive. Food was beautifully presented, cooked and tasted amazing. Serving of food was timed perfectly with no lengthy waiting times between courses. I will definitely be back to try more food on the menu.

D. M.

BEST STEAK EVER Don't do Italian as dislike the cuisine. Went in Alba as part of a big group and I was amazed by the quality, taste texture my rib eye had. Better than many steak houses I have tried around the country, this is certainly a restaurant to be visited again and again. highly recommended!

M. R.

Fantastic food with beautiful flavours and presentation. Deserts were a particular highlight. I recommend the Alba Ice-cream. The service was absolutely excellent considering we were there for a full house last night and only one server on the floor.

E. C.

Absolutely phenomenal little restaurant. Friendly staff and the best prawns I have ever had. They hosted some acts from the local blues festival during our visit, a rare treat to enjoy top class food along with the top class music!

C. C.

Amazing food & very friendly staff. Highly recommend this restaurant.

L. M.

We visited Alba on a family gathering occasion last Saturday and everyone was overwhelmed by the experience. Great meal had by all at the table where the winner dish was an olive oil based pasta with sheep's cheese, broccoli and Italian sausage. Even tho the place was packed, the service was impeccable. Will be back soon

N. S.

Lovely and friendly staff and the best consistently fresh food and limoncello. When I visit Alba I usually get any of the specials on the boards, which never disappoint. I would highly recommend their house red, it is simply second to none. A’It is really amongst the best places in the world to dine in.

M. F.

Had a most enjoyable meal from an extensive menue with a half litre of red wine. Was accommodated without a reservation. Very friendly staff and a nice atmosphere all round. This Italian restaurant is up one flight of stairs.

a. m.

Relaxed atmosphere & friendly staff, food very good I had the goats cheese starter & the seafood linguini but other guets at my table said food was extremely good ,both white & red wine suggested by the chef complimented the meal. Highly recommended if you are near Enniscorthy

I. C.

Amazing flavours in the food. Great selection of wine. Top service and lovely relaxing live music while you eat. A must visit. Ill be back every time im in the area.

V. Y.

Food was delicious but a bit expensive and portions small

O. L.

This is a real little gem in Enniscorthy. The food is amazing, as was the wine & coffee. The service was second to none & we were made feel very welcome. Will definitely be returning & recommending this restaurant.

M. S.

Alba is fantastic, authentic italian restaurant. Their customer service is excelent, always looking after customers very proffessionaly, helpful if you have any questions about the food or wine. Also many thanks to their chief who is preparing all the very tasty starters, main courses, deserts. We have been here a few times and our dinner was always briliant, never got a chance to complain. It's the place we like coming back.

L. B.

Lovely food I would return again. Although a little overpriced in my opinion.

G. V.

Visited here a few times and was very impressed with the standard of food, wine and service. We always go for the Early Bird Menu and every course is always delicious. We will definitely be back. Proper Italian food and wine in the best restaurant in Enniscorthy, Wexford County and one of the best Italian in Ireland.

D. O.

Great atmosphere. Lovely food. The wine selection is the star though, with a nice range of tasty reds and whites to accompany all dishes.

A. P.

We had the most wonderful experience in Alba. After we let Angelo know by accident that it was my birthday all the stops were pulled out. Angelo treated me to a serenade on his saxophone, accompanied by an invisible orchestra and we were offered a glass of lemoncello on the house. Whereafter an icecream appeared with a candle on top. Bravo Angelo and Laura!

J. D.

I wish we had more of restaurant like this in Enniscorthy town. The standards of food, service, ambience and value are superior than most places in Ireland. I wish it was in Dublin, city where I work and where Italian restaurants are not even comparable to Alba. A little gem that I recommend anyone that loves freshly cooked food, great wines and lovely background music to try.

C. S.

One of the best restaurants I have ever been to. Traditional Italian food, staff and a real lovely homely feel. Would highly recommend it for all.

G. E.

Found this gem down the road from our hotel. Great atmosphere and better food. We had the burrata starter with sundried tomato pate and olives. I had the fusilloni pasta with sausage and fried broccoli with a tomato cream sauce, my husband had the special - porcini mushroom ravioli with venison ragu. Both with exceptional, but his took the cake! Speaking of cake, one of the best tiramisus I’ve had accompanied with a limoncello they made in house. Highly recommend Alba for your next visit to Enniscorthy!

T.

Food is amazing very authentic Italian food and atmosphere. Angelo was so hospitable and Laura our server was very friendly and attentive. Could not ask for a better experience Thanks so much

J. M.

Sent here by friends. The restaurant is located overlooking the river, with big wide open windows that show you the beauty of the Slaney river with its swans and the nature that goes with it. In our two visits we were served by a complete team of Italians who greeted us and served us the best Italian food ever, with a couple of Sicilian dishes that only in Sicily we could actually eat. In both occasion we brought home a few bottles of wine with us, as their wine selection and display is tempteting. Great amarone, grillo and Brunello, paid at the same price you would pay in Italy. This is a great Restaurant that Enniscorthy town certainly needs!

E. K.

Had a lovely meal as always. The staff are friendly and helpful. Angelo sang to finish off a great dining experience. Buona Notte. Will be back.

Ate here with hubby and son on a Friday a few weeks ago. Son had the pasta arrabbiata and hubby and I had the pasta with fungi. The food was amazing. We sure lucked out finding such an amazing authentic eatery. Hubby is a very fussy northern Italian from Canada and he was majorly impressed.

(Translated) We feel very lucky to have found an Italian restaurant with such goodness and a relaxing atmosphere. After being in Ireland for 10 days and eating Irish food, being directed by locals to this Italian (Sicilian) culinary paradise was a great pleasure. In our group of 6, we all agreed that it was a first-rate experience. From the initial welcome of Mr. Angelo we immediately found ourselves at ease. The pasta they liked the most was the one with wild boar sauce. While as main courses, turbot and fillet of beef have deserved more acclaim. All fresh and carefully presented, with balanced, simple and refined flavors. To say that you eat better than many Italian restaurants in Italy, in short, is a diminutive. Congratulations on your restaurant and we will see you again on the next visit. I highly recommend it to any passerby in Wexford County. (Original) Ci riteniamo molto fortunati di aver trovato un ristorante italiano di cotanta bontà e di un’atmosfera rilassante. Dopo essere stati in Irlanda per 10 giorni ed aver mangiato cibo irlandese, essere diretti della gente locale verso questo paradiso culinario italiano (siciliano) è stato un gran piacere. Nel nostro gruppo di 6 persone siamo tutti convenuti nell’esser d’accordo che è stata un’esperienza di primo piano. Dal benvenuto iniziale del signor Angelo ci siamo trovati subito a nostro agio. La pasta che è piaciuta di più è stata quella al ragù di cinghiale. Mentre come secondi, il rombo e il filetto di manzo hanno meritato più consensi. Tutto fresco ed accuratamente presentati, con sapori equilibrati, semplici e raffinati. Dire che si mangia meglio di molti ristoranti italiani in Italia, insomma, è diminutivo. Complimenti per il vostro ristorante e ci rivedremo alla prossima visita. Lo consiglio vivamente a tutti i passanti della contea di Wexford.

(Translated) This is the only restaurant in Ireland where we enjoyed ourselves, both with the service and with the food. All very fresh and of a unique goodness. fish was our favorite dish. The atmosphere was also very warm and welcoming. (Original) Questo è l'unico ristorante in irlanda in cui ci siamo trovati bene, sia col servizio che col cibo. Tutto molto fresco e di una bontà unica. il pesce è stato il nostro piatto preferito. Anche l'atmosfera era molto calda ed accogliente.
