Great Menu,delicious food and fantastic presentation. The decor was plain but this added to the Italian feel of the place. The staff were also very pleasant. The only flaw however was the bill at the end. I did feel that it was a little on the expensive side.

Based upon a recommendation from our hotel we ,3 guys on a golf vacation, decided to give it a try.We had tried many other places and had different Irish favourites but ready for something different. We shared some calamari which was done perfectly,not chewy and not fried, just simple and tasty. The appetizer was a pear covered in hot cheese... More

I had an excellent meal at Cucina Italiana on the evening of Saturday 11 May. Luckily, the restaurant was able to accomodate me as I did not have a reservation. I had dined here two years previously, hence deciding to give the restaurant another try. It was great to see that there had been no slippage in standards in terms... More

Myself and husband ate at the Cucina approx. 2 weeks ago when visiting Killarney and we absolutely loved it! The interiors are modern, quite modest and non-fuss, the waiters were very friendly and they really knew and could talk about the food they’re serving, you’ll hardly ever see that in restaurants these days. We went with starters and mains and... More

If I could this restaurant a zero I would!!! We ate there Saturday night while on our trip to Killarney. We walked in to the entrance hall and immediately were unimpressed by the decor. The furniture is the cheapest if cheap - think bargin basement Ikea. I was going with the 'don't judge a book by its cover' theory but... More

We eat here at least once during every visit to Killarney, and it has been a 100% reliably good experience each time. Calm, unfussy but friendly service. Classy but understated tables and decor. The food is pure pleasure. The early bird is great value, but the normal menu is still better value than local restaurants further up the review list.... More

Absolutely loved the food here... although I am originally from Italy I haven't been living there for almost two decades so whenever I come across authentic Italian food I go into food heaven! Cucina Italiana certainly did the trick - the accent is on good quality ingredients cooked like they would in Italy. I highly recommend the pasta!!! The hosts... More

I ordered a brushetta with prawns for my starter i got one tiger prawn and some diced tomato 12.50! My partner ordered prawn pasta for his main he got 4 prawns 24.50 I cant believe they are still getting away with these prices and giving such small portions. Disgrace.

I was so pleased to get the recommendation from my hotel. Cucina Italiana is a small restaurant in the center of Killarney. The staff was very friendly and the food was excellent. I highly recommend the mussels appetizer, and the homemade pasta with filet was excellent as well. The prices were a bit on the high side, but I think... More

Excellent service and delicious food but a little pricey. The food was incredible though and prices are shown outside, so it didn't come as a shock!
