My husband and I dined here for his birthday and we went to a Candlelight Concert afterwards. We chose this restaurant because of its proximity to the venue. My husband and I were so pleased with our meal, our server Pony, (unsure of spelling), and the atmosphere. Every course was delicious, presentation was impressive, and our server’s attention to detail and attentiveness made us feel well taken care of. We both would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone for any occasion. Thank you again!

The food was okay but nothing was spectacular. The best thing was the dessert, a Hazelnut chocolate cake, it was so good. The waitress had too many tables to serve so long wait for food and drinks. We seat at a table close to the windows so it was cold inside. I hope they can get better because the restaurant is beside the Paradise Theater, so it is a good option to go after the concert.

We celebrated my husbands birthday. The service was attentive and kind. The staff were knowledgeable. I would call it fine dining except we were a bit chilly in the converted patio. The place is beautifully decorated.
Osteria RialtoResponded on November 3, 2022Hi Ann! Thank you so much for your kind review and we pleased to hear that your husband had a lovely birthday! We have since added even more heaters to ensure the patio is warm and comfortable for all of our guests. We hope to host you again soon, Ann!

Not your Nonna’s Italian. Uses local ingredients and traditional Italian flavors for a modern take on Italian cooking. Extensive wine list. Groups of 4 are best suited to getting the lost out of the sharing style menu.

Why if only 2 tables are seated in the entire restaurant would you put them side by side - and once they arrived I could have dropped dead without my server noticing. Over priced good, bad service. There are much better Italian restaurants- and in the same area. Not worth it.

Service and food both were not good. The food was meant for sharing, but portions were extremely small for the price especially too. The food didn’t taste amazing either, we got the rigatoni and ceaser salad and barely and dressing came with the salad and the sausage on rigatoni tasted funny

The food was excellent with a good wine selection and great cocktails. A lovely interior and covered patio. Went there for a birthday dinner and it was a special evening.
