Ever been in a restaurant where you can barely hear the person across from you? The food is great, the service is excellent, but the noise is overwhelming. It is an issue many hospitality venues face, and it can make or break a guest’s experience.
For Reggie’s Pizzeria, a newly opened restaurant in Dublin, creating a welcoming and comfortable hospitality space was a priority from the start. They chose Sonaspray, an advanced acoustic solution, to ensure their guests could enjoy their time without the distractions of excessive noise. The result? A space that feels lively yet balanced, where conversations flow naturally, and guests want to stay longer.
Why Acoustics Matter in Hospitality?
Restaurant owners put enormous effort into perfecting their menu, service, and décor, but sound is often an afterthought, until it becomes a problem. High ceilings, hard surfaces, and crowded dining rooms amplify noise, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere where guests struggle to chat, and staff find it harder to work.
Poor acoustics often lead to shorter dining times, lower guest satisfaction, and fewer return visits. On the other hand, a well-balanced atmosphere encourages guests to relax, stay longer, and order more. Reggie’s Pizzeria understood this from the beginning, which is why Sonaspray was part of their design from day one.
Critical Acclaim for Reggie’s Sound Design:
Reggie’s investment in better acoustics did not go unnoticed. Some of Ireland’s top food critics highlighted how Sonaspray enhanced the dining experience:
🔸“It’s a great room, with high ceilings covered in Sonaspray, a brilliant sound-absorbing material in which I wish more restaurants would invest.” – Katy McGuinness, Irish Independent
🔸“The Sonaspray ceiling works wonders for the acoustics.” – Corinna Hardgrave, The Irish Times
🔸“The focus is on acoustics, sustainability, and recycled materials.” – The Times
These reviews prove that atmosphere matters and when a restaurant gets it right, people notice.
What Makes Sonaspray the Ideal Acoustic Solution?
Many restaurants, bars, and hotels struggle to find a solution that controls noise without compromising the design of their space. Sonaspray solves this by providing:
🔸 Effective sound absorption – Reduces background noise and echo, making conversations effortless
🔸A lively yet controlled atmosphere – Never too loud, never too quiet
🔸Seamless integration – Available in multiple finishes to match any interior

The Takeaway: Sound is as Important as Taste
For any hospitality venue, the way a space feels is just as important as the food and service. When guests are comfortable, they stay longer, enjoy their experience more, and leave great reviews. Reggie’s Pizzeria got it right from the start, and their success proves that acoustics should never be an afterthought.
If you want to create a venue where guests feel at ease, conversations flow effortlessly, and reviews reflect a truly exceptional experience, it is time to consider your acoustics.
