🍝 CARBONARA. THE ONLY ROMAN LOVE STORY THAT MATTERS.

Some dishes flirt. Carbonara doesn’t have to. It walks in, says nothing, and takes over the table.
At Vaffanc*lo, we keep it exactly as Rome intended.
Guanciale — never bacon. Pecorino Romano, sharp and proud. Fresh egg yolk that turns silky the second it meets the hot pasta. And black pepper cracked until the dish knows who’s in charge.

No garlic. No apologies.

Our chef learned this recipe the old way: from someone who didn’t waste words, just plated the pasta and looked you in the eye. That’s the energy we serve with every bowl.

🍝 EXTRA! EXTRA! THE PASTA THEY CAN’T STOP TALKING ABOUT. 🔥

😎Some dishes whisper. This one walks in, kisses the Don’s ring, and takes over the whole table.

🎲We’re not playing around with Truffle Mushroom Tagliatelle at Vaffanc*lo. This isn’t a Tuesday‑night quick fix — this is an occasion wearing a parmesan cream sauce like a tailored Italian suit.

🍄‍🟫First, the mushrooms. Browned, buttery, earthy, and deeply savoury — the kind of flavour that makes you pause mid‑sentence and stare into the middle distance.

Then we toss them through tender ribbons of golden tagliatelle, each strand slick with that creamy, glossy sauce. And then — because we don’t do things halfway — we shave fresh black truffle over the top like we’re dealing in pure gold dust. A final snowfall of parmesan, a whisper of truffle oil, and a single herb leaf that says “I’m elegant, but I can still break your heart.”

One forkful and you’ll understand why this dish never has to beg for attention. It just sits there, steaming softly, knowing it’s the boss of the menu.

🧀 “Leave the gun. Take the tagliatelle.”

Come alone with a glass of red. Bring a date you want to impress. Or just order it for yourself, eat slowly, and refuse to share. No judgment. We’re family.

🍕 PIZZA ITALIA ❤️

🔫AN OFFER YOU CAN’T REFUSE😋

😅We don’t throw toppings at a pizza and hope for the best.

🚫This isn’t a game.

😎 This is Pizza Italia — the boss of the menu. You don’t customise it. You don’t ask for pineapple. You sit down, you stay quiet, and you let the pizza do the talking.

The tomato sauce? Slow-cooked, deep red, sweet like Nonna’s approval. The mozzarella? Fresh, milky, melted into soft islands of calm. Then we drape delicate ribbons of Parma ham over the top like fine silk suits. Glossy black olives dot the scene like little messengers of respect. A generous pile of fresh green rocket adds the crunch of someone who knows exactly what they’re doing. And then — because we care — fine shavings of Parmesan fall like snow over the whole beautiful operation. No shortcuts. No mercy. Just flavour.

You want the best Italian pizza in Galway?
You walk into Vaffanc*lo. You order the Pizza Italia. You eat every last crumb.
The Don doesn’t like wasted dough.

🤫 Bring your appetite. Leave the pineapple at home.

🚨 NEW EPISODE: THE VAFFANC*LO FILES 🚨
📍 18 Eglinton Street, Galway

🌃Every great city has a secret. Ours involves dough, San Marzano tomatoes of questionable import, and a mozzarella supplier who only takes meetings in the back booth. 🍅🧀

🇮🇹We’re the Vaffanc*lo family. Don’t get it twisted — we’re not gangsters.

We’re just very… organised. We’ve been keeping Galway fed with proper Neapolitan pizza longer than anyone’s been watching. How long? Let’s just say the dough recipe is older than some neighbourhoods.

🕵️‍♂️The operation is simple:

You walk in.

You eat like family.

You leave with a smile that screams “I know where the best pizza in Ireland is, and I ain’t givin’ up the address for free.” 🤫🍕

No squealers. No empty plates. No bad vibes.
We keep our enemies close, and our fresh basil even closer.

Concrete shoes? Nah, just heavy tiramisu.
Fuggedaboutit.

🍽️So here’s an offer you can’t refuse:
Come sit with the Famiglia tonight. Bring your crew. We’ll bring the pizza. And don’t worry — nobody’s sleeping with the fishes. Just with a food coma. 🛌💤
