Gorgeous restaurant with very welcoming staff. The food here is always good, with pizza and pasta dishes some of the best around. When in Carlingford, we always try to get to Riina’s!

Dinner here is a must, however take away is not great. In our experience the pizza didn't travel well but the overall service and sit down meals in the restaurant is lovely if you're visiting Carlingford. Reasonably priced and ideal location.
We went to Rinnas as a family after a nice day out in Carlingford. Next to the seaside we wanted to enjoy some seafood so we ordered a few different things such as seafood platter, crab claws, caprese salad, etc. First the caprese salad was...advertised to be with buffalo mozzarella and we only got regular mozzarella which we paid 10€ when it probably cost about 2€ to make. We asked the waitress why it was buffalo mozzarella and she assured us it was according to the chef. As an Italian native and buffalo mozzarella lover I can assure you it wasn’t. In our seafood platter we were suppose to have oysters, langoustines, squid, mussels and scallops but the oysters and squid were missing. We then asked the waitress about it and she told us that they didn’t get the delivery yet and we were not aware about it. When the time came to pay I asked the person who seemed to be the boss if we were going to get a discount for the missing oysters and squid. She told me that the chef got us extra food (which we were not aware of) and made it seem complicated. In the end we got the discount but only after we asked and it should have been offered to us straight away. Overall the food and service was average and I wouldn’t recommend it. Plus the front door was being locked at all time and we had to ask someone to open if we needed to go out for a cigarette which was strange.More
It’s a lovely spot we’ve eaten in it before but the last time I ordered carbonara. All I can say is it tasted unpleasant When I brought it up apparently the chef was off and someone else cooked. I’d say close up if it’s going...to be that bad.More
The most reasonable good food restaurant I’ve been to in ages, caring and attentive staff in warm comfortable atmosphere. The best Italian I’ve been in north of Modena most definitely will be back
Terrible experience in Riina’s. Very unfortunate as we have heard great things about this place. Staff were rude, abrupt and unapologetic for a series of mistakes they made.They left our table unattended, did not offer a drinks service, very slow to pick up starters and...waited over 60 mins for our main course. We ended up cancelling our order. Extremely disappointedMore
Fabulous Fantastic Exquisite Excellent Food is Exquisite Menu excellent Just love everything about this Gem in heart of Carlingford Hands down to fabulous crew they have Love it
A wonderful meal with very fresh produce in a great setting. Very attentive staff. Will definitely be back . Great value for money .
The best pizza I have ever eaten hands down. Staff were the most friendly and welcoming, will definitely be back!
Our food was unreal. Definitely be back, first time having a dish with warm olive's, not sure of the name but they were amazing.
Very nice authentic Italian food. Good service and enjoyed everything. Can be very busy so go early to ensure you get a table. Don’t take bookings.
We visited here as a party of 11 for a birthday dinner. The manager and the 2 younger girls serving us were FANTASTIC. They couldn’t have been more attentive. We started with wines and beers which were cold and refreshing. We all shared the garlic...dough balls and then into mains. We had a variation of different pastas, pizzas, monkfish, seafood and steaks. The food was very tasty! I would definitely recommend this spot for food. Thank you for an amazing night.More
Avoid this restaurant ! (Other lovely places in carlingford to dine) Very unpleasant experience tonight - first of all the staff were extremely rude. I ordered pasta carbonara (requested no Parmesan cheese on top to the manager)- well when I got the dish it was...horrendous looking, dry pasta with clumps of egg and tiny pieces of bacon. It was as if I had got the leftovers…compared to another pasta carbonara dish that was brought to our table also. I brought this to the attention of the waitress when we went to pay the bill and asked to speak to the manager. I was told the manager was busy at the minute by a very unpleasant member of staff who laughed in my face (not very professional - no manners whats so ever) .. I proceeded to wait for 15mins & still no sign (having asked again to see the manager)… also on the bill was ‘todays special €9’ - when we asked about this we were told it was a service charge. Well never have I ever seen this and not even to be put on the bill as ‘service charge’ making it out to the customer as if it was a ‘special’ they had got - safe to say we will NOT BE RETURNINGMore
Tried to visit on Tuesday 2nd August Called to make reservation,told if we arrived asap it was no problem,arrived within seconds as we were in the village approximately 7pm,we were greeted by a pleasant young member of staff who said the table wasn’t available so...I mentioned we were the table for 2 that had just been on the phone Asked to speak to a manager,another staff member came out and told us they only had a table for 5 people and they couldn’t give that to us ,I asked out of curiosity if the table was reserved for someone and the staff member said no but they couldn’t give it to us just in case ,a perfect example of bad business,I have eaten in this restaurant once before and it was lovely and as I spend a lot of time in Carlingford I was hoping to go with my friend even though last minute We ended up in the ever as always PJ O Hares where we were treated so nicely and they were very busy ,I wont recommend this restaurant for this reason as there are plenty of others only willing to fit you in where possible even if you have to wait a while I messaged the restaurant privately and even though they saw my message in the 3rd August ,they didn’t reply !More
