over-rated but good armosphere

Very over-rated restaurant:
Good points - very well-priced lunch menu, good staff, some delicious dishes, good pizza and great atmosphere.
Bad points: starters menu is awful and all the starters are far too big (the bruschetta and garlic bread are the size of large pizzas), in the evening the food is way, way over-priced, which is even more galling when you realise the exact same dishes at lunchtime are half the price.
If you want a really good Italian in Kilkenny, go to Rinuccini.
If you want a cheerful restaurant with a good atmosphere and a pixxa - or know the five or so good dishes to go for- then it's Italian Connection.
Best tip is to go for the French restaurant across the road, Chez Pierre, which is regarded by locals as the best in the city.
