Pasta Bella 54 Austin Friars Street, Mullingar, County Westmeath N91 K462

"Stopped in when passing through Mullingar. Nice spot. Decent pricing given the current climate and food and service were a good standard. Was quiet given that it was a Tuesday evening. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area—pity it’s far from my home!"

"Went here for my birthday. It's our second time going here. It's a beautiful little spot but parking outside can be problematic. However, we parked a short walk away. We were seated straight away. The menu has a small but good choice to suit all. I hear the pizza is great but haven't tried it yet. I had the Caesar salad for starter. This was a huge portion with lots of chicken and bacon. Fantastic! My husband had the stuffed mushrooms which appeared as the largest balls of batter I've seen. Mushrooms stuffed with cheese and then deep fried in batter. My husband was in mushroom heaven. Next for mains I had the penne piazziola, with chicken & bacon in white sauce on penne pasta. It wasn't too rich. It's very tasty. Husband had the chicken Alfredo. Chicken & mushrooms in a white wine sauce with soft mash, toasties and fresh vegetables. Very good. Of course, as it was my birthday, we went for dessert. I had the chocolate fondant with ice cream and cream with chocolate sauce. Warm and gooey goodness. Husband had the banoffee pie with cream. He loved it. Overall it was a fantastic meal. We don't like being disturbed too much by wait staff and this was a perfect balance here. Just a quick check in that all was well and that was us left to our conversation. Some people mightn't like this level of service but for us it was perfect. Will definitely be back again."

"When you're googling trying to find a nice restaurant, reasonably priced in Mullingar, this is most likely the type of place you want. Lovely atmosphere, staff were great, food was lovely and prices were good too. Tried to go back for our second night in Mullingar but it was booked out. Great little find."

"I went here with a friend for a midweek dinner. We were served 2 absolutely delicious fish dishes, I had the seabass with perfectly cooked vegetables. My pal had the seafood special, a seafood tagine. Both were perfectly cooked and perfectly flavoured. My first time here but we'll definitely be back and we will definitely be recommending. Our waiter was super efficient, friendly and professional. Thank you for a lovely evening."

"When we came into the restaurant, we were waiting to check ourselves in while a large man behind the bar/check in desk was on his phone. We waited for him to be ready and then we were greeted. Although this, the waitress was amazing! She was polite, chatty and upbeat. Very lovely experience from waitress and chef. Thank you."
