"We ordered the sea food platter for two. The food quantity was sufficient only for one person. I was also surprised to see that a platter for two only had one prawn. The food was ok, although the fried squid was too much oil and the only prawn, was not enough fried as the shell was still to hard an not crunchy. Too expensive and I do NOT recommend this resta..."

My Mam could not eat her calamari unfortunately it was..." Read more

"My friend and I went to Nosta today for lunch and were excited for some yummy pasta. The garlic bread was great, but both of our pastas had no flavor. There was also no toilet paper in the bathroom, even though the restaurant was basically empty. But the biggest problem was the behavior of one of the chefs. Something else already seemed to be going on at the..." Read more

"This review is based on a single visit. I won't be back for a second visit...but not because I had an unpleasant experience; I just didn't like any of the food. The flavor of the Greek salad that I was served was overwhelmed by red onions. It was the worst Greek salad I've ever eaten. My hummus was bland. The restaurant appears to be clean. I was gre..."

"My family and I visited Nostalgia earlier this month. The decor was very nice and staff were nice though not attentive. The food, is where it starts going down hill. I had the steak and I'm telling you it was the size of an 8 year old's hand. The smallest toughest piece of meat anywhere in Cork. For 13.95 you get sad piece of meat and half a plate of small o..."

"We ordered seafood pizza. The pizza was quite cold and overloaded with bad quality cheese. It was lets say one (1) olive on the pizza, anchovies were a bit to fishy and small prawns were tasting like old tires."

"Spent a few nights in Cork recently, thought I would give this restaurant a try. Bad move !! I have eaten quality Southern European food often..... This was very ordinary and overpriced....... particularly when the food is very average. I only consumed about 20% of the meal...... quite well presented but just bland and in my opinion..... terrible !! I could..." Read more

"We had booked a party of 7 people for a workplace meal last Friday evening. When we reached the restaurant, one of the waiters was outside smoking a cigarette so, thinking he was on a break we walked past him and into the restaurant. He then came in the door after us and asked had we booked, I replied yes and gave the name under which the booking was made. T..." Read more

"First let's start with the food, it is good, it's not great, it's all very tasty and what not but I think in a restaurant you should be getting something that a home cook wouldn't be able, or bothered to do. Unfortunately despite it being all tasty it is all very average food and very poor presentation. But then again plain food will always only ever look pl..." Read more

"Das Lokal ist etwas düster, aber ansonsten in Ordnung. Der Service ist freundlich, es dauerte jedoch lange bis das Essen kam. Pasta Gerichte waren sehr fad und zu lange gekocht. "

"We should have known from the fact that this is the only place we could see free tables on a Saturday night. We ordered pizza and pasta dishes which all lacked flavour and had far too much cheese."

"Went there with my man to have some Mediterranean food. For people that don't know Mediterranean food might be good but coming from the region I know what is good. Anyways, we got as a starter the cheese rolls. When they arrived we both started laughing because on a plate there were the tiniest, thinnest rolls I ever saw in my life. They just looked sad next..." Read more

"Picked this restaurant as it looked busy and nicely presented from the outside. Right from the start our waitress was terrible, it appeared that maybe she had only just started working here. She didn't understand anything we asked or said, she was French I think. She had to come back to our table 3 times to confirm our orders (and thank God she did because s..." Read more

"Poor service, waiters were unhelpful and uninterested e.g having to ask for condiments 3 times or waiting 15 minutes to order. Wouldn't be going back in a hurry. Food was ok, but nothing to rave about. Restaurant itself was nice and there was no need to book ahead. Room to improve!"

"I used love this place when it opened first. It used be good value and good food. I went here recently with my girlfriend and found the prices had risen drastically, the food was overcooked, the portions were smaller and the seating seemed more cramped."

"I've been here twice. So so slow and staff who were serving our table were not a bit nice, waiter was same as our last visit, not a bit nice or helpful. People at next table ordered chips with their meal and the chips arrived when they were finished. Waiter completely ignored it or didn't notice. They didn't complain but I overheard them saying how poor the..." Read more

"This is the worst sort of place to go for a meal. The staff have just a bad attitude. Our server just looked down their nose at us and he was snappy when questioned further on the menu. He was bored, they all were bored. They took a half an hour to get us our drinks even though the place was empty and we'd expressed we were thirsty as it was such a warm day...." Read more

"I love Italian food and was happy to try something new as always.Firstly for what it was I thought it was expensive, there's much cheaper similar productions in Cork. The food was bland and extremely forgettable. Without trying to be mean, I felt like I'd wasted a meal and money! I like the set up and what not but when the food itself doesn't deliver it'..."

"I work in a restaurant so I'd like to think I'm understanding and easy to serve, but as the only two people in the entire restaurant on a Friday evening we were left waiting quite a while to get our order taken while the staff stood around.I got a vegetarian pizza and my company got some kind of chicken skewer dish. Upon serving it was obvious this w..." Read more
