Via Veneto

Just off the main square in Enniscorthy, you’ll encounter the unexpected - an authentic Italian restaurant, run by Paolo Fresilli, who is President of the Italian Chef’s Federation in Ireland, no less
Seats 72 (private room, 20); D Wed-Mon, 5.30-9.30pm, Fri & Sat to 10pm, Sun 5pm-9pm. Wine from €19.50. All night midweek special 2/3 course €24/€27. Children welcome (high chair, baby changing facilities); toilets wheelchair accessible. Closed Mon & Tue. MasterCard, Visa abbreviations

Just off the main square in Enniscorthy, you’ll encounter the unexpected - an authentic Italian restaurant, run by Paolo Fresilli, who is President of the Italian Chef’s Federation in Ireland.


It’s buzzy and homely Italian in style, and with the ingredients they prize, wines and Italian liqueurs all on shelves open to view; the welcome is warm and efficient, white clothed tables are simply laid and a generous basket of good bread is left on the table throughout the meal, along with carafes of home-flavoured olive oil and balsamic to dress your salad to taste.


As you’d expect, the menu is divided into antipasti, pasta, main dishes, pizza and side dishes, all written in Italian, with accurate descriptions in English, German and French;  you’ll find dishes here that rarely feature on Irish/Italian menus, and top quality Italian cheese, salami, cured hams and other speciality foods feature.


With seating for over 60, it’s broken up into 3 areas by a central bar and semi-open kitchen - this is a hive of good humoured activity and the three chefs cook everything to order.


Dishes are prepared and served Italian style without fussy presentation: a salami selection with marinated olives comes simply but stylishly on a wooden platter, for example, and the emphasis is on good cooking and real flavour. Pasta dishes include Tagliatelle con pollo affumicato (with smoked chicken) while mains offer Saltimboca alla Romana (jump in the mouth veal rolls with sage and parma ham, cooked in a rich white wine and olive oil sauce, then served with mashed potatoes - wonderful) and Filetto di manzo con cipolle caramellate (grilled steak).


The dessert menu offers home-made traditional delights like ice creams, tiramisu, creme brulee, panna cotta and cassata. An all-Italian wine list offers over 120 wines, including some special bottles and many more affordable wines. And, unusually, a single glass of wine is served in a small carafe.


The locals have taken this place (which is very family friendly) to heart, so it’s wise to make a reservation - especially if you want to dine after 7.30 or 8.00pm.
