For a taste of authentic and delicious Italian food in Waterford, check out a special eaterie at number 37 on the city's Stephen Street. Harlequin Cafe and Wine Bar is owned and run by native Italians Simone Girogi and Alessandro Lopez who offer mouth-watering Italian recipes each Monday through to Saturday. They insist on using authentic Italian ingredients and the result is the best quality, delicious Italian food, offered at very competitive prices.

The location is perfect for city centre shoppers or workers looking for a bite to eat, morning through to evening.

In the evening, the ambience at Harlequin changes. There’s candlelight and soft music to create a relaxing setting, perfect for either a romantic night out or a meal with family or friends.
