We visited this Italian restaurant for lunch for the first time and had such a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was fun and light, and it felt extra special that they brought in a high school jazz band to play Christmas music — such a thoughtful touch that made the meal even more enjoyable.
Our food was absolutely delicious, and our waiter, Jackson, was kind, attentive, and very polite. The service really added to the overall experience.
One thing we always appreciate is how involved the owner and his wife are whenever we visit. It’s clear they take pride in their restaurant, and that level of care is a huge draw for us.
We loved our lunch and will definitely be back again.

Surprised by the overall experience. We frequently visit Maribella and, after being recommended by multiple coworkers to try this location, decided to book for a date night before a show. Upon being sat down, our waitress was extremely attentive and friendly. Throughout the dinner however, the noise in the restaurant became unbearable. There was a large group sat adjacent to our table and we both extremely loud and vulgar. Spilling wine bottles and glasses, having inappropriate conversation, and overall being very rude. Other tables noticed also were very displeased.
The waitress was extremely frazzled towards the end of our meal as the larger table had multiple dishes that were not prepared and the larger group took up the attention of the staff. We, and the table next to us, waited 20-30 minutes to get our bill after our tables had been cleared. Despite multiple staff helping this area, the sole focus of the staff was dedicated to this larger group.
The food itself was amazing, and what we had ordered came out promptly and well prepared. Truly such amazing food, just unfortunately ruined by the ambience of the restaurant.
Perhaps we just booked a busy night, but we are not willing to risk another incident when you’re paying for quality food and dining experience.

This place was great for dinner! I was able to taste some wines before making a selection. Ruth our waitress had some great recommendations. We had our small children with us and they offered a child menu and high chair. To our surprise there was also live music. We will return when we come back into town.

Service was great. Salad, wine, appetizer great. Had high hopes for the main course but was completely let down. Both my wife and I received pasta dishes to which the flavor were both very good ,but the pasta in both dishes were both overcooked and mushy beyond redemption. The added meatballs were pretty tasty but overcooked pasta at an Italian place ?Had to dock some stars for that.

Had a birthday dinner for my wife here. It was amazing! I had the beef tenderloin & gnocchi. The beef was flavorful and the gorgonzola flavor of the sauce really came through. My wife had the tortellini with shrimp. Very flavorful shrimp with fresh veggies with the tortellini. Then we ended with a key lime cheesecake. Cheesecake was good, not great, and would probably order a different dessert in the future. I prefer much more key lime flavor coming through. Overall, great expirence and will certainly be back!

An amazing restaurant with impeccable service and food. This has been one of our mainstays for a few years now and I don’t see that changing. The food is excellent and somehow continues to get better. The ricotta is a must have each time and has been updated recently with even better toast. Creamy, a bit of honey, and delicious. We always get the bisteca gorgonzola steak with gnocchi and the Chilean seabass. Both are cooked sous vide so they’re as tender as can be and very flavorful. The garden salad is also a must have each time as it’s fresh, great greens, and excellent dressing options. Other favorites are the pasta al limone and pasta alla papalina with chicken. You can’t go wrong with any of the deserts.
I haven’t even mentioned the wine. It’s well curated and for those that don’t always know what they want, the featured wines are always great to try. I don’t know my old world wines very well but you can always ask for a recommendation to get something that’s great.
The service has always been great, which is something that’s difficult to find in Sioux Falls. You can tell there is server training and they actually seem to care about your experience.
They also have live entertainment Thursday through Saturday, which brings in some of Sioux Falls best entertainers.

Saturday afternoon, we walked into R Wine Bar, and it felt like Riccardo knew we were coming and was waiting for us. He greeted us immediately and remembered our names once again. He even took the time to introduce the staff to our table. We enjoyed a fantastic bottle of Chardonnay and hands down the best bruschetta I’ve had in a long time. Bravo to the entire team.

I absolutely loved this place!!! The staff was amazing especially the bartender she was so sweet, knowledgeable and helpful! The wine selection was vast and the food menu was condensed and precise. The flavor was spectacular and they even asked me what level of spice I preferred for my pasta! Their Caesar salad had to be part of my top 5 that I’ve ever had and I typically don’t care for a wedge but this one made me eat my words, literally! The dynamic between front of the house and back of the house was family oriented and they help each other out throughout the entire dining process. I will 100% return again on my next visit to Sioux Falls!
