Had a lovely evening, tried the pizza and pasta both really good! Interior was really cute and waiters were really friendly! Definitely recommend?

A group of 4 ate this evening, 28.03.24, and are looking forward to going back soon.We all had different meals and each of us would recommend our individual meals.Lovely waitress who interacted with us, not just taking our order, and the chef even acknowledged us through the hatch.As a side note - leave room for the cheesecake.Can't wait to go back and try the next thing on the menu.

My friend and I were looking for somewhere to eat on a Saturday evening and this place visibly had space, admittedly not always a good sign, but thought we'd try it.It has an outer and inner door, effectively an air lock, but means that your arrival is heralded by the first door, however we found ourselves just simply stood for a minute waiting to be greeted.The only other diners were a table of three, everything else had been vacated with clearance needed.We asked for availability of a table for two, which was confirmed, although we had to wait for the table to be cleared first. That was in fact a wipe down of the plastic substitute damask tablecloths - elsewhere I'd expect them to simply whip the existing or soiled one away and relay the table.As we were seated the three diners adjacent to us were served, only for one to return their food as being cold, that should've been another red flag.Menus were proffered and drinks ordered, which came swiftly enough, and I suppose it's a matter of taste whether you want bottles brought to the table for you to self pour.We ordered our starters and mains - and here we have our secret weapon, with my friend being half Sicilian she knows her dishes.My starter of mussels was awash in what could have been simply a jar of Ragu along with a mediocre undressed salad.My main of Romano was similarly affected to that of my neighbouring diner with one end of the plate being 'scorchio' and the other cold, although starting at the hot end I didn't notice this soon enough.My friend's main was so unappealing that the majority was left, a decision aided by a moribund shaker of parmesan.To add to our disappointment a party of 8(?) twenty somethings came and occupied a nearby table and were extremely raucous from the outset, even the waitress making comment to us, but she failed to make any request to them.With the decor, or perhaps lack of it and any soft furnishings that might nullify or absorb the noise it became a very unpleasant experience as we really struggled to make ourselves heard to one another.It actually feels more of a canteen than a restaurant, and not somewhere you would want to go for an evening meal, especially given the variety on offer elsewhere in Louth, a candidate for the Polizzi or Ramsey experience maybe.So you may have already guessed this, but I'd not be recommending Il Padrino to anyone unless it hopefully sorts itself out.

Came here for a lovely meal. Was served by a lovely lady. Starter was chilli and tomatoe pizza very hot and nice. The main we ordered was chicken Stilton with bacon and cream sauce and penna pasta. Very luke warm so sent back. Came back with chicken hot and pasta cold so told them. The chef then came out and was very rude and said it was my fault because I had sent it back. What the hell!!! They did knock it off the bill been here so many times but to be spoken to like that will not be coming back !! Whatever you do do t complain because it will be your fault it’s not right. Will not be coming back which is a shame.

My husband and I had a meal in a lovely atmosphere. The service was warm and friendly The food always tastes fresh and delicious. It is a restaurant we keep going back to.

We got a very friendly welcome which was a great start. The atmosphere and ambiance of the place lacks. It was almost half full and yet quite cold. The seats were rock hard wood with no cushioning. The food was prepared quickly and efficiently. Pizza was ok but at only 10” rather small. The pasta was pretty poor. Lumps of dry chicken and a pretty average tomato ragu. It wasn’t bad as such but just not memorable. They could improve the decor and ambiance quite easily which would help a lot. The staff were very good and sadly let down by the overall surroundings.

Family of 6 All dishes were well cooked and very tasty. Child’s portion was very generous and her pasta was delicious. Pollo crema highly recommended The house wine was very drinkable. Very reasonable prices, generous portions which all tasted freshly made. Look forward to out next visit!!
What a little gem of a place this is. Super authentic Italian food freshly made. Great value and a lovely atmosphere.

Fantastic food and friendly service. We visited based on seeing reviews on Trip Advisor. My son saw a photo of a pasta dish and was set on having it and it didn’t disappoint! Parmigiana was exquisite. Great atmosphere.
