Italian Connection

Kilkenny

17/06/2026: I visited Italian Connection on a Monday evening with two of my siblings. The restaurant was busy and had a nice atmosphere. We were shown to our table. The customer service was excellent. All three of our dishes were served nicely presented and smelt delicious. All the food was well cooked and served hot. We had a really enjoyable meal at Italian Connection.

12/06/2026: Amazing food. Earthy rich flavours. Finger licking stuff! Staff are so friendly and accommodating. Kudos to the staff. Food as always great every time one visits. Very consistently good!

Ristorante Rinuccini

Kilkenny

12/06/2026: Lovely food Service outstanding

10/06/2026: Service was horrible. Appetizers arrived 30 minutes after our Prosecco. We had to ask to have our table cleared of appetizer plates. Main course was served 1 hour 15 minutes after arriving, despite an email from the restaurant reminding us that we had to vacate our table after 2 hours. The food was average at best nd under seasoned. An overall disappointing birthday dinner.

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.
