    Really fine spot. We got there around happy hour and our two cocktails were outstanding. Hats off to the mixologist Brad. Our food and service matched the drinks. Octopus appetizer with rice was excellent. We also had the Sicilian eggplant tower and veal saltimbocca, both very high quality. Server from Phoenix was also top notch. Highly recommended.

    I was very disappointed with their brunch. The omelette was overcooked, dry and cold. The cheese was stiff and not gooey as expected. It must have been waiting to be picked up for a long time. The Italian sausage that came with both of our selections was also overcooked, a little crispy and had a lot of grizzle. All over, not a great experience.

    Met with friends in the bar area. Bradley took excellent care of us! Food was great as always. If you’ve never been to Riondo’s you owe it to yourself to go there. Excellent experience and excellent food. Chef Rico and crew always do a wonderful job!

    We love the ambiance and attention to detail here. The dinner service is impeccable, complete with a change of silverware between courses. I love the heavy, detailed glasses used for the Old Fashioned drinks as well. Excellent veal and seafood inspired Italian dishes. On each visit here, we love it more and more.
