Reviews of La Rivista Market & Gourmet Pizza

J.

Very accommodating staff, arrived a little early for our booking but the lady said it wasn't a problem. Lovely decor, great pint of Moretti and honestly the best chicken wings I've ever tasted! Pizza was outstanding also. Would not hesitate to pay this place a visit again.

s. m.

Had to book for dinner arrived in time and had a table already set. Got set menu with wine wine. I had risotto on starter. Steak with mushroom sauce and chips for main course. For dessert brownies with ice cream and cappuccino. Lovely food and waitress personal. Would highly recommend to visit not only for dinner.

G. M.

Fabulous food, chilled atmosphere and very wide menu. My boyfriend and I had a fabulous 2 course meal each (€25 for two courses!). I had the bruschetta to start and vegetarian lasagne for main. My bruschetta was lovely and fresh and my vegetarian lasagne was delicious, filled with mushroom, aubergine, courgette, tomatoes, peppers and onion. It was the best vegetarian lasagne I've ever had. My boyfriend had the chicken wings to start and the seafood pasta for main. The chicken wings were crunchy and spicy and his main was delicious, fresh and lightly creamy with mussels, salmon and prawns. I would highly recommend this restaurant, only downside was it was a bit noisy with a constantly ringing phone.

B. C.

Delicious, very reasonably priced and descent portions. Will definitely be back

H.

Very tasty food, great service and generous portions, it also had a great atmosphere when we went on a Thursday evening. The wine and dine deal, of a 3 course meal and a bottle of wine for 59.95 is very reasonable. Would recommend you try it out!

M. C.

From US, that is our basis. Expensive for good food. Not great good. Above average. Excellent staff. Had the pizza, cibatta and soup. The leek and potato soup was highlight of the meal.

B. M.

Great gluten free menu (especially the pizza). Friendly staff and the takeaway option was a life saver during lockdown.

C. G.

Have eaten here a few times...food is always great but the service is hit and miss...have had to ask for cutlery while the food is in the table and have the main course before the starter just a little frustrating .. will gives it a miss for a while but we will be back ...desserts are the best...😍😍😍

D. R.

Lovely restaurant, the food was excellent very tasty. Everything we ordered was done very well, all tasted lovely and the ingredients seemed to be top quality. The staff were all very friendly, helpful and wonderful really. I ordered a Browne trifle and while I normally do not like trifles this was divine, light, fluffy, rich and moist with decicious cherries through it.

P. B.

Food great but service not great. Order taken reasonably promptly but few more customers came in and we were abandoned. Whilst I realise it was busy a bit more attention to our table would of been appreciative. An hour from taking our order to finishing starters is a bit slow. We finally got mains and left shortly afterwards. No staff asked were we ok during meal and we had intended to have dessert but we sat with our finished plates on the table for about 15mins so then we decided to go. The manager on seemed pretty keen to take payment but barely asked was everything ok.... Such a shame as food was really good when it came but service would need to be improved if I was to return.

T. C.

Didn't have to book, arrived, the mail waiter with the beard around 21 years old, was so so lovely! Wish we'd gotten his name because he was so chatty and friendly. Ordered a pizza with no ham and got a pizza with only ham but it was a simply mistake make by the chef as the waiter reread my order and was correct. This was grand as they were so polite and speedy with the replacement! The wine choice was great. TRY THE CHEESECAKE, literally one of the best cheesecakes I've had. Still dreaming of it. Definitely recommending it as it wasn't expensive for a young couple, had great service and selection!

C. C.

Great atmosphere, customer service and most importantly food. We were a party of 5 and all did the 3 course set meal and had a bottle of superb wine with no regrets. Servings were a good size. Chicken wings to die for and best of all it didn't feel rushed despite the Covid restrictions. Thanks a mill to the lovely people at La Rivista. 😍👌💖

L. M.

Grabbed some pizza and bruschetta take away. Great banter whilst waiting on it. The food was delicious. Would highly recommend.

D. C.

Visited here for the 1st time today. Welcoming staff. Friendly. Had a delicious 😋 roast beef baguette. Very tasty. Highly recommend.

H. M.

The service was excellent in that they were no delays. Once the starter came the subsequent main course and desert came in quick succession. The staff were helpful and friendly. The meals that we had were excellent. Certainly value for money.

R.

Can't wait when I could visit this amazing place again ❤️

A. T.

Amazing food, mostly great service, as the person who took our order was very helpful in directing us towards pubs in the area after our food but the person who took our food was a little bit rude in how she put the food on our table, everyone has a bad day tho. Overall I would highly recommend this location for a meal

F. M.

Have never had a bad experience here and we've eaten here over a dozen times. The black pudding/goats cheese starter is divine. There's a great choice on the menu and in a great town to dine in La Rivista holds it's own. Well done Jennie and staff.

S. G.

Most places in Ireland have gluten free toast but I read online that this place served gluten free pizza and pasta so I had to try it. My husband and I shared the gluten free risotto and the tomato soup which came with a gluten free roll! So delicious. I could not talk my husband into ordering the gluten free pizza but I assume the regular pizza was good because he happily devoured the entire thing, which was huge. The gluten free pasta was light and tender...exactly how I like it. For dessert, we shared the gluten free brownie sundae (chocolate malt balls on the side for my husband). There seemed to be chocolate cream or mousse in there as well. It was the most amazingly dreamy dessert! The prices were really reasonable compared to other dinning options. We would have done the 3 course meal + bottle of wine for 65 euro special for two if we didn't have such a late lunch beforehand. This meal has been our gold standard for our trip so far. I wish we had found this gem before our last night in town.

E. H.

We were very lucky to get a table for two without reservation yesterday, the meal was fantastic, what a good surprise as we just walked in without having heard of this place before! I'd definitely come back and recommend to friends.

T. M.

Unfortunarely our table wasn't ready as earlier customers were not ready to leave, as is their right. We had to wait for almost one half hour. As there were 14 of us it was disappointing. The food was nicely presented and we had no complains. Wine list was overpriced as it was 7.95 per glass. I had an irish coffee and is was excellent. Even with the delay it was a pleasant evening. Lovely staff.

S. O.

We had a great meal and they were able to fit us in off the street, which was so good! We wouldn't hesitate to come back or recommend to friends.

D. O. S.

Best pizza I've eaten in Ireland

B. K.

Staff were really nice & accommodating making sure everything was okay during our meal. The food was lovely also with a nice choice of dishes & special deals. Would definitely recommend a visit.

A. H.

Excellent food and service. Would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Kilkenny. We will be back.

D. D.

Absolutely fabulous meal with the family. Everyone enjoyed the evening. Lovely food and staff and service was amazing. Definitely recommended. Thanks again.

T. H.

Walked in. Prompt service. Nice attitude of staff. Got moved between courses due to a slight chill. Well! Food is delicious. A most welcoming staff group. Definitely up there, folks. Sirloin was top end and succulent. Cheesecake is divine. If you want a happy food experience, get in. 10 out of 10. Merci

J. R.

Got take away Saturday nite last pizza was great all food hot and price very good

B. D. (.

Absolutely fantastic, the sauce was sensational with the GF stuffed chicken breast on the bone, some Very nice greens and fluffy spudatoes, and it was one of the yummiest GF meals I've had, and the GF Brownie is the best I've had + they have many ways of serving it, they are all scrumalicious...

e. d.

Staff are great and service is so good. Never left waiting long for any thing. The menu has so many gluten free options and is one of the best for it in kilkenny. Food is amazing. One of my favourite spots.

L. O. N.

Love, love, love La Rivista! We visit regularly at the weekends and are always greeted with a smile and fantastic food. Visited yesterday for my fiance's birthday and we enjoyed it as much as always. We would highly recommend La Rivista.

M. Ó. M.

Brilliant experience. Loved every morsel of food eaten there. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves food. The pavlova is the tastiest I've ever eaten. Well done to all concerned.

D. M.

Great food and lovely staff

N. L.

Nothing wrong with the food, service was friendly and efficient, but the Early Bird deal was a joke! I have diabetes, so I can't have dessert, so I chose the 2-course option, a starter and a main course, €20.95. When I calculated the total cost of my options on the a la carte menu, it came to €21.90!! My total saving with the Early Bird: €0.95. That's ridiculous. You're saving absolutely nothing. So ultimately I felt deceived.

D. M.

We love this spot for a family meal. Super food, generous portions, reasonably priced with lovely staff.

K. H.

Excellent Restaurant. Good menu and good food. Staff are so friendly! I highly recommend.

A.

Very good Italian food and wine menu.

M. S.

Great pizza, great service and great price. Lovely thin crispy base, chips were tasty. Waitress was friendly, smiling and efficient. Would recommend.

D. O.

Great to see this special restaurant open again after lockdown...and everything still as good as ever. Lovely atmosphere, great service and personal attention and the food as always....delicious.

O. S.

This is an excellent restaurant with friendly service and intimate decor. The food, however, is its biggest attraction. It serves food of the highest culinary standard in Kilkenny. The skill of the chef is at a level above the vast majority of establishments in Kilkenny. The prices, unlike the food, are very average. I highly recommend it, it stands apart from most other restaurants in Kilkenny if you want to experience haute cuisine rather than just a nice meal. It is ideal for special occasions such as a first date or small family "get together". I have been there at least a dozen times and the standard has always been consistently high. Once you try it, you will go back again and again..

S. N.

Food was delicious and generous portions were given. Staff were extremely friendly, welcoming and efficient. Excellent adherence to new covid guidelines.

S. O. D.

Was wandering around Kilkenny and came across this gem. What beautiful food. Caters for GF and Vegetarian's. The food was fantastic, offering early bird options and wine and dine option's. I love Italian food and must say this was just great. Ashling was a great hostess and made our visit just perfect. We will be back. Thank you.

K. C.

This was my favourite place to eat. They have a great deal. 3course meal and bottle of wine for 2 €59. The food was soo good and the wine was great. Its a lovely restaurant and the staff well so nice. Its almost at the end of a street but defo look out for it.

G. G.

I like this restaurant,it is usually quite good. On this occasion I was a bit disappointed. The Hake was not up to the usual high standard. Smoked courgette is an acquired taste .I think it is better served without the smoking process. A personal opinion.

J. F.

Fabulous food and professional, courteous service. I was part of a group of nine people and everyone said the same, fresh, tasty food and very reasonably priced. I would very highly recommend La Rivista and am already planning my next visit.

K. M.

Much bigger portions than expected, and such a wonderfully accommodating and welcome staff.

L. L.

Gorgeous food just a little tight on space. Very friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely recommend.

M. B.

Got a takeaway meal in the new pop up shop. It was delicious. All we had to do was heat it up in the microwave and eat.

The most delicious food with exceptional friendly and professional staff. Very reasonable prices with an unbeatable kids menu. My favourite restaurant in Kilkenny

E. B.

If you're into real comfort food definitely get the Pollo la rivista chicken with black pudding stuffing. It was absolutely amazing! The brownie is literally the single most amazing desert that has ever existed on this planet, quite possibly the universe.

M. M.

Kept us going with their take away menu during lockdown. Food is first class and value for money. Lovely place to eat when not in lockdown.

P. B.

a. c.

We all had great main courses including the kids who had a nice dessert but our own desserts of salted Browne really ruined the experiences salt was too strong even to taste coffee after eating was hard

W. E. K.

The food was lovely, the wait was not. And the waitress had the biggest attitude problem ever, I mean she just threw down the glasses and cutlery.

M. C.

Beautiful authentic italian food great service very reasonable priced very friendly staff. Good wine selection .The wild mushroom risotto was beautiful,as was the pasta

Local Italian restaurant, with a careful, cozy decoration. They served us outside their usual hours, which says a lot about them. The menu is quite good regarding quality and quantity. Very correct service. At night the atmosphere created is very romantic, with the dim lights. A calm and calm environment. The meat they served had a good flavor, pleasantly surprising me. If you have doubts, come in, they will be removed.

T. H.

Very good food and friendly service. The meals were of very high quality. Only recommended.

e. M.

Central restaurant. You can dine from 6 to 10. The desserts are spectacular. The seconds are very tasty. The staff is very friendly, always attentive to the needs of the table. The atmosphere is very calm and romantic atmosphere. Good value for money. They offer a menu that you pay according to the dishes, that is, full or half menu. Advisable!

W. G.

Very nice place. Super friendly and fast service for a good price. What more could you want... We were able to enjoy a great offer for dinner at a competitive price. Very successful. At the end of Kilkenny center but well worth a short walk.

S. B.

Beautiful restaurant, with simple and chic decor. Warm welcome, excellent very thin crust pizzas.
