Pizza and pop on the Prom

Two evenings every weekend, as the sun begins to dip behind Galway Bay, Magnetti’s Pizzeria on Salthill’s Promenade is hosting live acoustic jazz, pop and folk sessions.

This dinner music experience brings a relaxed, intimate atmosphere to the restaurant, with tunes from 7pm on Fridays, and from 5pm to 7pm on Sundays.

The music sessions feature French jazz and Argentinian tango on Friday evenings, and acoustic folk and pop classics on Sundays.

From folk and blues to soft jazz and contemporary ballads, the performances are curated to complement the laid-back ambiance of the restaurant. The artists perform unplugged, allowing the natural acoustics of the space to shine, and encouraging diners to engage with the music in a more personal way.

Magnetti’s in Salthill is known for its commitment to quality, with fresh ingredients sourced locally and from select regions in Italy: handmade pizzas, fresh homemade pasta and a menu that balances tradition with innovation. The addition of live music to the restaurant makes it a perfect spot for couples, families, and groups of friends looking to unwind before the week begins.

With candlelit tables, a gentle hum of conversation, and a backdrop of acoustic melodies, it creates a cozy, almost Mediterranean vibe for patrons.

For musicians, Magnetti’s offers a platform to connect with audiences in an intimate setting. Unlike the louder pub gigs or festival stages, these sessions allow for storytelling, improvisation, and genuine interaction with diners. It is not uncommon for a song to spark a conversation across tables, or for diners to linger long after dessert, caught up in the music.

By giving emerging and established artists a regular venue, Magnetti’s contributes to the cultural fabric of the city while enriching its own identity as more than just a restaurant – it is a place where food and art meet.
