On holidays in ireland, we found this place on Trip Adviser. Looked good so we trotted along. A very welcoming owner and friendly staff was a good start. Then the food; very, very good. The entree of mozzarella pear and prosciutto is to kill for. The place is small but it's neat and tidy. You're not rushed to eat or... More

Dined here this past weekend and had a great meal. From start to finish (I love grappa) everything was delightful. I especially liked my main (pasta squares with prawns and asparagus in an amazingly delicate sauce) and my dessert (vanilla ice cream with a warm fruit compote that had peppercorns sautéed in it pure heaven). The fact that it is... More

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
