Our journey started more than thirty years ago working for our family owned Italian American Restaurant and later opening our own location in Modesto. We purchased Red Tavern in 2013 and we continue to operate it as well. The thought of Rione began a few years ago while vacationing in Rome. Since our first trip we have returned several times to take classes, experience the culture, share time with friends and family, and to bring back menu items sometimes never seen in the United States. Staples such as Carbanara, Cacio e Pepe, Pasta Gricia, Amatriciana, Suppli, and Pizza Tonda are a few menu items born in Rome, often changed, and our intent is to prepare them as you would experience when visiting Rome in their most traditional form.

Love everything from decor to service to aroma to menu. Was hard to choose from all the amazing selections. I had Merlotn and it was divine.

Food is great. Very unique options. We tried the September menu item “Papparadelle Alla Caponata Vegan” with some cheese added on top. It was the most amazing vegetable dish I had. Loved the taste.
Also tried bruschetta with peaches and that was decent. Not superb sweet. Cheese was fresh. Not a fan though.
Tiramisu was small portion but tasty. Not overly sweet and not overly coffee flavored too. Very decent.
Everything was nice. Portions were good but comparatively small for the price. Good for one only.

I once again had a great meal. How ever, i didn’t care for the Rosetto, our server offered to get me something else. The customer service is exceptional. And the rest of the meal was delicious
My husband and I celebrated our 28th anniversary . We had a wonderful dining experience . Our server was friendly and on top of anything we may need. I really enjoyed the fancyness 🙂 of the experience. The sever told us this is authentic Italian food, and she explained how the carbanara was cooked. My husband had the Filet Mignon. Of course, I had to taste it, delicious.

Our first time there, I had a pesto dish. It was the best I’ve had outside of home cooked. Italian noodles were the best. We had a caprese appetizer. I recommend getting any of their appetizers. Ours was delish. Fresh fresh fresh. My date/ husband had

RIONE has some great qualities, especially when it comes to service — our server was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind (9/10), though things did move a bit slowly.
The atmosphere was just okay for me (about a 5/10). One wall is entirely glass which I loved, but creates a noticeable draft, so definitely dress warm if you’re visiting on a cooler evening.
The menu felt more limited (6/10), and the flavors could use a bit more balance overall. One thing to note: the restaurant uses farm-raised fish rather than wild, so order with that in mind if it matters to you. (For those unaware they are much less healthy – more exposure to PFAS, plastics, and their omega ratios actually become flipped and less healthy)
On a positive note, if you’re gluten-free, their pasta is actually quite good — just consider asking for it to be cooked slightly longer, as their version of al dente leans on the chewier side.
Overall, some solid elements and a very kind staff, but a few adjustments could make the experience much stronger.

Wow! We had reservations for 8 and were seated at a bench table by the kitchen with some amazing lighting. It was our first time here and it did not disappoint. Our server was wonderful, attentive and provided wine suggestions. We got several appetizers, pictured is zucchini flowers and the soft mozzarella with balsamic and a crusty bread. We also had the caprese and the duck egg ravioli. The husband love, love, loved it. I ordered the salmon on Safran risotto, pictured. The salmon has this light crust and was cooked to perfection. Buttery and delicious. The risotto was amazing, I couldn’t help but eat it all. Others ordered the ravioli, the veal, the wild boar and the lasagna. The serving size was generous and everyone raved about theirs. We will definitely be back. We enjoyed a few bottles of wine, a glass of Port and a bottle of champagne.

Our food was ok and service was ok, but it took us 1 hour and 15 minutes from when we entered to actually get our food. If you’re charging $20-$35 per plate, you need to have the staff and systems in place to make sure that doesn’t happen. Management needs to pay/hire more people if you’re charging such high prices.

Very different Italian cuisine and excellent. We all had different items and everyone loved it. We came at 9pm and asked if we could eat at that late time and they were so nice. They didn’t rush us even though we were the last customers. Definitely a must have.

The food is impeccable, and very exquisite to the palette. The portion size was perfect and the menu was set in courses, which is the Italian way. The prices are a little steep but worth it once a bite is taken.
Our service was not too much but not too little. My party would give 5 stars however the reason I didn’t is because our server ignored me when I was trying to place my drink order and then again when I tried to get her attention for service. I’m sure her mind was full of work-related stuff and do not hold it against her. It was a very busy night after all. The owner also came to check on things at our table which was a delight.
The atmosphere was not too favorable. The restaurant was way too loud. We were having to yell at each other to have a conversation with each other. I could never bring a sensory-sensitive person to this establishment and sit inside. There is outdoor seating, which may be ideal, and I will reserve a table there to see how it goes. The restroom was clean and the establishment was well-decorated, well-lit, and very clean. Minus the noise, Rhone Italian Restaurant is as perfect as it can be and not be a dream. I will recommend it to everyone and update my review after sitting outside and experiencing the atmosphere. Well done, Rione. Ciao!
