Service was excellent, very friendly staff who were always there at the right time and very informative about the menu. The kitchen was timed perfectly and our courses came out bang on time. Everything was delicious especially the Chocolate & Walnut cake, it was way too nice! Will definitely be going there again in the short and distant future!

Looking for quality Nosh at an affordable price, look no further. Spent a weekend in KK for my Dads Birthday, this restaurant was recommended by a fellow guest in our Hotel.... I will now be a regular visitor when I visit KK. My Dad and I had the steak, cooked to perfection with delic' sides of potato and tasty veg, my husband had the Pizza which was really yummy, My Mother had caeser salad which I will be having next time - comes with chips, delic - ALSO TRY THE HOUSE RED MMMMmmm

Myself, my husband and my little man (11 months) really enjoyed our meal here today. Firstly, the staff are so professional, friendly, child-friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, I could go on! Secondly, the food. We ate from the value menu and it was all delicious. I had the linguine to start and he had garlic bread. I had a pizza for the main course and he had veg lasagne with chips on the side. For dessert, I had the tiramisu and he had ice cream (both presented really well). There were all types of people there, young, old, families etc and it was really busy so the atmosphere was great. We will definitely return.

My husband and I had a wonderful dinner here on a friday night. Excellent value 3 course for 2 people incl a bottle of wine €50. Food was excellent with a great choice and the service was second to none. Staff were so accommodating. If you’re in Kilkenny and like Italian then this place is a must.

Dined here first with family and friends on a Sunday evening. The food was absolutely delicious and the staff are extremely helpful and attentive. As I was in town for a few days I actually went back there a few times over the week and enjoyed every visit. The quality of food was superb and the value for money was outstanding - 3 course meal with a bottle of wine for 50 euro - you really can't go wrong with that. And for those not wanting a bottle of wine, there are meal deals for two and three courses available. I must say I will be recommending this eaterie to all that pass through the area.

Enjoyed so much we dined here twice in one week! First we dined on a Monday evening with my son, they have an excellent value menu 3 courses and btl of wine for 2 people for 50 euros and a childrens menu available too! For starters i had the the linguini and my boyf and son had garlic bread, both were perfect. For mains i had the chicken and my boyf had the pork, both were good sized portions and unbelievably tasty! My son had chicken tenders and fries-cant really go wrong there, but the childrens menu does offer lasagna, pizza, pasta etc too. Desserts were yummy, i opted for tiramisu while the bf had the crumble and jnr had the sundae surprise. The staff were really good, even taking the time to take photos of us. Our second visit last night didn’t fail to impress either; this time we brought my daughter who loved it too! Again we dined from the value menu (wine offer not avail on a sun) and it was just as good as out prior visit-great to see they are consistent! Different staff were working and again they were all friendly and took the time to talk to the children, a nice touch, the restaurant was busy-a good sign, young and old, with and without children. La Rivista is definitely a favourite with our family and we will be back again very soon!
