Ristorante Rinuccini

Kilkenny

13/05/2026: I cannot speak highly enough of this restaurant. You simply must visit it! It was recommended to us by some friends. We were greeted warmly and treated so well. The food was utterly delicious and the wine was excellent. We had a really lovely meal and would highly recommend it

10/05/2026: It was just fine. The mushroom risotto was very bland. My partner's short ribs were cooked perfectly but also served over bland risotto. Just didn't impress me and does not seem to reflect the price

Italian Connection

Kilkenny

07/05/2026: A very nice restaurant with very friendly and attentive service and truly delicious food. It was the best pizza I've had in a long time, incredibly generous with toppings, and I'd gladly come back anytime. A perfectly central location right in the heart of Kilkenny.

03/05/2026: Unbelievable food, absolute quality place, some of the friendliest staff I've ever come across, definitely worth a visit if your in Kilkenny, you wont be disappointed, 5*+

La Trattoria

Kilkenny

31/03/2024: Even though reservation was taken via Google upon arrival it was clearly evident that the place has been permanently closed for some time.

28/02/2024: Absolutely disgraceful behaviour from the manager/owner of this restaurant. We had a booking confirmation email that confirmed our reservation and were refused entry and basically told to leave because he claims they don’t do online bookings. Why on earth have a system set up where you can book online then? He was extremely rude waving his arms in the air and telling us we were wrong, even though his restaurant was empty and could have simply given us a table regardless of the mix up on his behalf.
