Scalini Kilkenny Reviews

"We're from Rome, so we know a real supplì al telefono when we taste one, and Scalini absolutely nailed it! The arrabbiata was exquisite. The staff were incredibly kind and offered us tiramisu to celebrate a birthday."

"Food is amazing, this is what Italian food really tastes like. Service staff were very professional, attentive and welcoming. My wife reckons it's better than anything we had in Venice!!!"

"Hands down the best Margherita pizza I've ever had! The 72-hour fermented dough was light, full of flavor, and unforgettable. I even wanted to order another, but they had sold out, which says a lot. Fabio is incredibly kind."

"One of the most enjoyable meals I have ever had. Food was incredible, service was wonderful and the atmosphere was fantastic. I have to give a special mention to the burrata with nduja. Wine was also exceptional!"

"We sat 25 minutes before close and were still met with a warm welcome and excellent service. We ordered one pizza and after a couple bites quickly ordered a second. Possibly the best pizza I've ever had."

"When they had run out of Limoncello, our server ran several blocks to go buy some for us and was back in minutes with a smile. The owner, his family, the servers were warm and welcoming making for a very memorable evening."

"We were visiting from Boston, and Scalini's is the best restaurant in Kilkenny. Fabio and Claire are the kindest hosts you could imagine, and they both sang to the diners at the end of the night."

"They sang the most fabulous songs for us. Every one in the restaurant were chatting together and singing along by the end of the night. The food was just wow. We can't wait to go back!!"

"Fabio and Claire were amazing hosts. The pappardelle fungi e mascarpone and the lasagne were both delicious and generous portions. This was the most personal service I have ever experienced. I highly recommend this place, go now!"

"These tasted just like the pizzas we ate in Italy last year. Very authentic. All in all, this little hidden gem is well worth a visit. You will walk away happy and full!"

"Proper, high-quality Italian that tasted so authentic. The restaurant itself is small, which makes it feel so cozy and intimate. The piano player was such a fantastic addition to the lovely atmosphere. Can't recommend it enough!"

"We had actually left another Italian restaurant due to poor service and bad vibes. The owners greeted us at the door with smiles and a warm welcome. We had the pizza and it was superb! Highly, highly recommended!!"
