Riondo’s is the real deal.
We started with the Italian Country Table and it set the tone immediately. Quality meats, great cheeses, fresh arugula, grilled eggplant, and that house “Riondo Mozz” — everything tasted intentional and well sourced. Not just a charcuterie board thrown together, but a balanced starter done right.
The Margherita pizza was textbook. Crisp crust with just the right chew, bright San Marzano sauce, fresh basil, and perfectly melted mozzarella. Simple food executed at a high level.
The Seafood Ravioli Pillows were outstanding. The filling was generous, the pasta tender, and the garlic bianco sauce tied it all together without overpowering the seafood. Rich, but not heavy.
Dessert sealed the deal. The chocolate cake was decadent and moist, and the Bananas Foster came out flaming tableside — not a gimmick, but a true finishing touch that elevated the experience.
Atmosphere is warm and romantic without feeling stuffy. Service was attentive and professional. You can tell this place is run with pride.
If you’re in Galveston and want elevated Italian with a strong wine list and a refined vibe, Riondo’s should be at the top of your list.

Very busy on a Friday night so we sat at the bar. Bartender Shara was friendly and made great drinks. We ordered Meatball Appetizer, Scallops Appetizer, penne pasta, angel hair pasta and bread. Food was delicious and Appetizer portions were generous enough to be a meal.
Instead of angel hair pasta they brought me penne pasta, we were in a rush so just ate that, it was very good.
A little noisy but able to have a conversation with loud voices.
Inside and outside seating. Nice decor.

Such an amazing experience! Our server, Shane, was knowledgeable and attentive. The owner has celiac so they understand how to take precautions. The food was incredible. The environment was excellent. The service couldn’t have been better. They served gluten free bread as an appetizer with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I got the gluten free penne pasta with Chicken and their red sauce. All gluten and dairy free. Great size meal, very filling and so fresh!! This is a new regular anytime we’re in the area. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Best steak in Galveston! We had the off menu special- hand cut peppercorn filet topped with jumbo lump crab meat, with sautéed veggies & decadent scalloped potatoes, signature Caprese salad with eggplant for starter and Tiramisu for dessert. You can tell everything is homemade here with lots of love-delicious mozzarella & pastas ♡

We stopped in and had a wonderful experience for happy hour. We had the fried ravioli which was fantastic. Our waiter brought out their marinara sauce and suggested a dollop on top to elevate the flavor and he was right, so good. I had the lemon drop martini and it was so fresh, a heavy pour and the glass was ice cold. My husband got the whiskey flight and was very pleased with the suggested options to try. The happy hour prices were awesome, especially in these times when everything is so pricey. We will definitely stop in for dinner next time we are in Galveston.

We are visiting Bolivar peninsula on vacay and came to Galveston for the day. Riondo’s is on the Strand and even though a more formal restaurant, we sat outside on a beautiful November afternoon.The weather was great!! And the food was incredible! Our server was Clay and he was marvelous. He took the time to thoroughly explain each dish, and he was wonderful to us!! My shrimp po boy was fantastic on fresh in house chiabatta bread and huge, plump perfect shrimp. My dining guest meals were equally delicious- the Lasagna Bolognese and Chicken Parm. Will definitely come back again.

We love to go here for happy hour. Great bites everything we try we love. Stormy takes great care of us very attentive. The toasted raviolis, spinach gnocchi, and the caprese are our favs. We will be returning. Stormy is the best bartender she keeps our waters and drinks full! One of the best happy hours on the island. Never got a dish we did not love! The best Alfredo sauce I’ve ever had.

Great Italian food on the pricier side and my goodness, the ribs were phenomenal! I got the titanium and it was high in the espresso flavor. Service was excellent. Food takes its quality time between courses.

Made a reservation and they told us they only had a little table at the entrance. We asked for a different table and we were agreeable to wait for it but they told us there was no other option and we had to leave.
We saw several empty tables while we were waiting ..I don’t think they even try to give us a different one..

We really liked the appearance of Riondo’s Restaurant from the outside and decided to try it. We could not be happier with the choice. The food was really good, fresh and authentic. The service was also great, our service could not have been better. The atmosphere is nice and has a really good vibe.
