Ristorante Rinuccini
This extremely popular restaurant opposite Kilkenny Castle packs in diners for delicious Italian food with an Irish accent. The basement-level dining room gets very busy, but the food more than makes up for it. The homemade pasta is as good as you’d expect, and on the specials board, local produce really comes into its own—catch of the day fresh from Kilmore Quay; Silver Hill duck baked with sweet aurum (an Italian orange liqueur); or supreme of Irish chicken with white wine sauce. Desserts are equally good—try the homemade chocolate tart served with honey ice-cream, or the tasty cheese plate, filled with selections imported from Italy. Make reservations if you’re coming on a weekend.
