What User likes about Caffe 500:
Very welcoming friendly atmosphere. Great menu. Reasonable prices. I would recommend the garlic mushrooms for a starter and rigatoni salmon for the main. I look forward to returning View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Caffe 500:
Would give 10 stars if I could. All the other reviews are correct as it was very good food and good value. We were a big table with all sorts of odd requests regarding the food from fussy eaters and nothing was a problem. View all feedback.

We love Caffé 500. Food is always amazing, Wonderful staff and the atmosphere is always great. 100% recommend.

Mixed reviews have surrounded this Carlow Italian gem, with notable complaints about the slow service, sad antipasti platter, and lack of soap in the bathroom. However, the food itself was praised for being delicious and portions being generous. There were positive remarks on the welcoming atmosphere, menu variety, and reasonable prices. The standout items were the garlic mushrooms and rigatoni salmon. Despite the ups and downs, the consensus remains positive, with many looking forward to a return visit and recommending the restaurant to others.
