Ristorante Rinuccini in Kilkenny

Lovely place near the Kilkenny castle. The pasta dish and the steak were both enjoyed by our party. Italian-born staff involved and servers are very attentive.

As an Italian, it was a pleasant surprise to find an Italian restaurant worthy of the name in the heart of Ireland.

One of the best Italians in Ireland.

First time at a Michelin rated restaurant. Sadly, wasn't very impressed. Vast wine selection (only Italian, of course). They were able to accommodate a party of 3 without a reservation, HOWEVER, we got lucky as they were very booked up. RESERVATIONS STRONGLY ADVISED. There are plenty of options for entrees, starters, and sides. Pasta with seafood dish was, unfortunately, salty with no other flavor. The other dishes were so-so. Service was prompt until the kitchen got backed up. Expect to be there for about 2 hours.

Wonderful meal. So far, the best restaurant we've enjoyed in Ireland. Must book ahead. We look forward to returning.

Went for the early bird at 5pm and it was great value for the quality of food which was really really high. Service was attentive but not over bearing. Would definitely recommend making a reservation as it got full very quickly and this was on a Monday evening.

Wonderful place, amazing food, superb service, highly recommended!

Today I ordered a beef fillet, juicy and seasoned, very tasty. I'll be back. I also ordered a tiramisu dessert, very tasty; I've never tasted anything like it. Thank you all. I'll recommend it to friends.

Great ambience, very relaxed but attentive staff too. Lovely food, my sole was perfectly cooked and totally delicious, as was my wife's duck. We had a great time and will definitely be back next time we're in Kilkenny.

Gave this place a try after a long absence. I have mixed feelings about it. A busy place, it takes "sittings", so if you wish for a relaxed evening....well!!! One does check the watch..silly self pressure I did find the food good and tasty, but there was a sameness about the menu from previous memories. Service is top class and very old style efficient. You can have a good night out...if you go for the late sitting.
