This place is a gem - but priced accordingly. Bruschetta starter was perfect, and the meatballs were outstanding. Dessert was bland, but the wines were excellent. It was a Saturday night, and it was packed. The tables were very small, and getting to ours involved walking by every other table, up and down steps and out to the back. No... more

A friend of mine recommended this restaurant and we were absolutely not disappointed. We went on the early bird menu - 3 courses for €27.50. I had pate to start and duck for main. My fiance had tomato and basil soup to start and steak for main. We both had apple and rhubarb tartlet for dessert. Every mouthful of all... more

After a morning taking in some stunning art on display during the Kilkenny Arts Festival week, we were looking for something that would leave us satisfied - and we found it. The staff were very pleasant, helpful and attentive even when the restaurant was full. We are not meat-eaters but found plenty of choice. Food was imaginatively prepared and presented.... more

My food was a tad dry, like it was under heat lamps too long. The rest of the party's was great. Crowded little restaurant and a little noisy, but tolerable. Good wine list. more

I ate at Rinuccini's with a group of 6 friends and thought it was an absolute waste of money. I have lived in Italy and know what Italian food should taste like but even for Irish standards, this was below par. The blue cheese tortellini was extremely salty (the water it had been cooked in had had too much salt).... more

My wife and I (from the U.S.) are vacationing in Ireland for 12 nights and are staying in Kilkenny an extra day because she got sick. I had to go out to pick some lunch up for her -- and she just wanted spaghetti and meatballs. I asked the local pharmacist where I could get that, and he suggested Rinuccini... more

My husband and I spent a week in Kilkenny with our 3 kids aged between 4 and 12. After a morning at Kilkenny Castle we crossed the road and decided to try Rinuccini for lunch. Clientele was a mixture of couples and larger groups including some older families. At first we thought the ornate decor (table linen and gilt mirrors)... more

We recently booked Rinuccini on a Friday night and I was happy to see it so busy. I had the best homemade meatballs I ever tasted and my partner had lovely steak that almost melted on your tongue! We'll definitely be back here! more
