Absolutely divine! The lamb lollipop with berry sauce is an absolute triumph for the taste buds. The succulent lamb is cooked to perfection, tender and juicy, with just the right amount of charred goodness on the outside. But it’s the berry sauce that truly elevates this dish to culinary artistry. The sweet and tangy flavors of the fresh berries complement the richness of the lamb impeccably, creating a symphony of taste sensations in every bite. The presentation is equally remarkable, showcasing a delightful play of colors that invite you to savor the dish with your eyes before indulging your palate. A true masterpiece, this dish is a must-try for anyone seeking a gastronomic adventure that will leave a lasting impression. Kudos to the chef for crafting such an outstanding culinary experience!

We’ve been here several times and prefer to sit at the bar or coveted window seat. The happy hour is amazing and we always over order. My fave is the spinach gnocchi! Everything is good and we rotate. We split a Caesar salad, served with ice cold forks and hot fresh bread. Then the fried zucchini, toasted ravioli, gnocchi and pizzeria. Never had anything we didn’t like. Yvonne and Barry are awesome.

Delicious food and desserts! Full bar and good selection of wines. We received very bad service at a different restaurant in Galveston and by the time we got to Riondo’s, it was closing time and they were full. However, after the owner heard our story, he not only welcomed us and made room for us to eat there, but he was sweet enough to give us free desserts. That’s the Texas spirit!

Had a lovely dinner with hubby, a very much needed date night. Don and Joshua made it extra special with delicious food and very attentive service. We enjoyed some amazing scallops, caprese salad, osso bucco and seafood ravioli. Ended the night with a tiramisu that was to die for! Highly recommend

We had a wonderful dining experience at Riondo’s and Kathleen, our waitress, was wonderful. My young son ordered a small pizza, and we ordered the spinach potato gnocchi with crab (yummy!) and my party loved their eggplant stack, hot fresh lasagne and shrimp scampi. Our lunch was awesome, and the atmosphere and service was spectacular. The only issue we ran into is my mother took a look at the Sunday brunch menu (we went on a Saturday for lunch) and she was disappointed that she couldn’t get French toast! We shall return! Great Italian on the Strand.

Very nice evening. Started with stuffed baby Bella mushrooms. The Shrimp Scampi and the Spaghetti Shrimp Carbonara did not disappoint.

My husband and I have dined here several times on visits to Galveston and it never disappoints. On our most recent visit I ordered the fresh seafood ravioli and he had a pizza. My ravioli was fantastic and a very generous portion! My husband said it was one of the best pizzas he’s ever had. We’re already looking forward to our next visit.
