About the restaurant
We are a family owned modern Italian restaurant and bar run by the proprietor Joe Lynch and his son Ryan Lynch.
The name Con Amici comes from the Italian family and friends dining ethos which translates to eating with friends where families and close friends come together to have a meal around a table whether it is at home or in a restaurant, making it a big event. This is what we want our customers to experience when they visit our restaurant.

We went on a Tuesday night & it was busy for a Tuesday but as always the food was Delicious, to be honest it never disappoints. I would also like to mention how Good Phoebe is at running the restaurant she was on her own but as usual she was very professional, nothing seems to faze her even when she’s rushed off her feet, just Brilliant.

About the restaurant
This big open space with its easy, informal mood has an open kitchen where Bryn’s team of chefs turn simple, local, seasonal ingredients into extraordinary bistro-style food. Menus are served all day by interesting people who really understand food, and there are no rules, so you can do what you like: tuck into breakfast, graze over small plates at the bar, share a Sunday feast with family, watch the sun go down with friends. Good times with good people, and no distance between you and the beach.

About the restaurant
Here at iâl Restaurant, we are passionate about creating an excellent dining experience whilst caring for our environment. iâl Restaurant offers only the best contemporary cuisine, produced using a mix of home grown and locally sourced Welsh ingredients. Using the Welsh and European Farm to Fork strategy, we farm our own meat, grow our own fruits and vegetables, and produce our own dairy with our colleagues at Northop and Llysfasi farm. In collaboration with Coleg Cambria, we introduce to you a fresh approach to dining, here in the heart of Wrexham town centre. In light relaxing surrounding, submerse yourself with friends and family in our beautiful retreat. Where the music is acoustic and the lights dimmed, come sample our signature 15 hour cooked beef brisket dish or let us choose for you with our weekly specials. If the sound of that doesn't grab your attention, the smell of our fresh focaccia and sourdough we bake everyday will.

About the restaurant
We’re proud to say that we champion local produce and regional suppliers; from
Mermaid Seafoods here in Llandudno to Dolmeinir Meats, whose wares come direct
from the family farm on Anglesey. We bake our own bread every day, make each
and every sauce or accompaniment – the mayo, the bearnaise, the dips, the
chutneys – although we’ll own up to leaving the ketchup to the experts.

We had such a wonderful experience here. The food was excellent and really well priced. Hog roast was so delicious and really tasty. The lemon tart was one of the best I've ever had. The staff were really pleasant, welcoming, and helpful. Didn't need to ask for water refill as they did it automatically - really appreciated that! A great night out, albeit the restaurant was a little quiet. The wine list is extensive and impressive and nothing was over-priced! A pure delight

Visited midweek at 3pm so almost no other customers. Nice ambience with soft music just in background. Chose food from the lunch menu and all 4 of us were very happy with the food content, flavours and temperature. All perfectly cooked and presented. Service excellent from attentive and friendly staff. Price very reasonable for the quality provided. Highly impressed.
