"We have been frequenting this place for many years and always enjoyed the food! Since Mario and Tara took it over it has gone to the next level. Everything about this restaurant is top notch! The new decor is a welcome change. Tara always greets you with a smile and is very attentive. The food is excellent as is the service. The fresh pasta, especially the gnocchi, is always delicious. The fish is fresh, boned perfectly and scrumptious! We have eaten here with many friends and everyone raves about the food. Make sure you save room for desserts. They are worth every calorie!"

"Service was top notch.... From the moment you enter you are greeted with a welcoming smile by the owner and the wait staff is attentive to your every need. The grilled romaine and prosciutto was a unique and very pleasing start to the meal, my husbands sea scallop appetizer was paired with a delicious risotto. We both had steaks, each cooked to perfection and so tender. The rolling dessert cart offers a good variety of choices and you are presented your dessert with creative flair. We will be returning!"

"Went back after Easter to try some things from the regular menu, which features delicious dishes drawn from different Italian regions. Try the fusi (Istrian penne) with veal sauce - outstanding. Another standout was the cestino salad - lovely fresh greens in a delicate dressing with almonds and goat cheese, served in a crispy cheese basket. Wonderful warm staff."

"This was my second visit to Rialto. Each visit has been a culinary delight. I had the duck, my wife had the swordfish and my daughter had the shrimp. Each was prepared perfectly, the food was hot, beautifully presented and unique in flavor. This is a wonderful restaurant and it shouldn't be missed."

"After reading many wonderful reviews, I had wanted to try Rialto for quite awhile. It went beyond our expectations. I had a hard time choosing a dish as there were many I wanted to try. Luckily, we shared a Acorn squash appetizer as it was large enough to be a main dish...and was delicious.The rest of the meal was equally as good. The whole environment was warm (especially for a cold winter night) and quiet enough to easily carry on a conversation. We look forward to returning soon."

"Recently visited Rialto with a group of work colleagues, was welcomed at the door by one of the owners and experience just kept getting better and better. The chef prepared a hot antipasto with a vareity of seafood and stuffed mushrooms (best part of this part of the meal) and visited our table to check in on us. Our group ordered a range of entrees - bronzino, swordfish, black angus, pasta - and was enjoyed by all. Ended up too full for dessert! Would definitely recommend Rialto and will gladly return."

"From the moment we entered the restaurant we were made to feel special. When we were seated plates of olives, parmesan cheese, bread, and bruschetta kept us occupied as we perused the menu. The choices were wide ranging and sounded delicious. A scallop risotto appetizer was perfectly done. Main courses of Duck with orange sauce (alas no wild rice) and veal chop Valdestano were mouth wateringly delicious. Deserts of lemon cake, fruit tarte and zucotto were all outstanding. It was a relaxed and most enjoyable meal. They will definitely see me again."

"had a very good meal, appetizers and main course. Unfortunately the time of our reservation wasn't honored, waiting over 45 minutes to be seated. Even though we were given a round of drinks on the house, the bill still came with the drink charges, which they promptly removed. Service was very good, attentive, but waiter had a bit of an attitude (strong opinion) when we ordered, but we dealt with it ordering what we wanted.
I would have given a much higher rating of very good if not for the failure to seat us on time and the waiter."
