The most authentic Italian food I’ve had in a very long time. The locals should be damn lucky to have this on their doorstep. The staff were excellent. Extremely patient with kids. The food was exquisite. We had a range of pastas and pizzas and desert. Pity it was so late as I would have loved a coffee. The dopio’s smelled amazing 🤤

Fantastic spot with a great location. The service was excellent, and the meal was delicious. We shared the caneloni and pizza with a bottle of red wine with a Ceasar salad to start.

Food was awesome, wine list is inexpensive but good wines and the owner/manager is great. Please note, this is primarily a beer and wine establishment...not mixed drinks despite their alcohol list. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic food and friendly staff - Great atmosphere too.

Food is truly amazing. First thing you notice is the aroma of garlic and tomato sauce all around. I would highly recommend the pasta dishes which are made to impress. The atmosphere is both sophisticated and relaxed. It's perfect for lunch and dinner alike. Also, families with small kids are welcome.

The waiter was attentive, our starter was a hit! The cannelloni was delicious, the breaded veal was amazing but the pasta that came with the breaded veal... The tomato sauce isn't great.. Maybe a creamy sauce would be better. We also got to have lots of parmesan cheese 😍😍😍. The good stuff too 🤤. The ambience was great too. Happily surprised.

Loved it .. fabulous Very busy because such beautiful Italian food. Front of house great hostess Food was fantastic.

Had a great night out with the in-laws at The Italian connection and all eight of us enjoyed our meals. Resteraunt staff extremely helpful and food served at nice gaps and not straight one after another. Lovely surrounding and lighting very relaxing. You need to book in advance if you want a late sitting. I'll be back.

We came here for a celebration meal on Saturday! The staff were exceptional, they were so accommodating and the service was so fast! We had our son with us (2 year old) so the fast service was amazing! The food was excellent, we had a variety of pizza and pasta and even salads and everything was perfect! Best Chicken Caesar Salad around!

Amazing experience...fabulous setting fabulous service and the food was incredible. Highly recommended

Delicious food, friendly service, would recommend to all. Good choice of vegetarian options as well.

This restaurant was very quiet, and felt quite a bit higher-class than the prices we paid. All of our food came out perfectly as ordered, and the wait staff were kind and attentive. The "Antipasto Italiano" had the best salami I've tasted in a very long time, and my "Gnocchi Sorrentina" had a nice creamy sauce that stuck to the gnocchi just right. This is a very nice restaurant to visit and I hope you make your way here.

Food is lovely and serves large portions. I like decor and atmosphere but unfortunately service is not so great. Personnel is nice but we were served by 3 different people and in the end we asked for split bill but lady just divided it in half without asking. And we weren't an even number on the table. So that was disappointing. But definitely worth to try because food was delicious and I loved my vegan pizza 😋

Food was delicious, service fast and very welcoming atmosphere. The staff were friendly and attentive. Will definitely go back.

Got service right away. Food was OK. Fillet was not a fillet of steak but still cooked as directed. Food was very hot and made fresh. I love the garlic bread and pizza. I would eat there again.

Always a fantastic restaurant to dine in Lovely atmosphere great staff and always accommodate people Would highly recommend it Well done Italian connection my favourite place

Its a must recommend restaurant in kilkenny Best Italian restaurant in town, amazing pizza and pasta and cant leave without dessert 🍦 Pepperoni pizza is the Best

Had no reservation called after 6 they facilitated us with a table for 4 with the stipulation we had to be gone before 8. That suited perfectly. Staff very friendly and courteous. Food was very good. Great variety. Lovely ambience about the place. Great experience will definitely be back thanks to all. Good service needs to be acknowledged especially at the moment.

Great place with European dishes, Great wine list and very fast service. Comfortable for a cozy stay for a couple in love, and for a large company. Enjoy. Life is Beautiful !!!
