First visit to Osteria Rialto as attending show @ Paradise next door. What a gem of the restaurant! Had the pre-set menu (family style sharing plates) which was perfect. Portion were generous and the wine sommelier choose a great wine to accompany (2020 Domaine Nigri Pierre de Lune Jurançon Sec - what an outstanding wine)! Service was excellent and very accommodating. If you are going to any show @ the Paradise, put this spot on your list pre-show and have a great experience.

We went for dinner before a Candlelight concert. They were accommodating of our late arrival as we had difficulty finding parking. Ordering was easy and the server mentioned they would be able to pace our dinner appropriately so we did. Plates were advertised as “sharing”. Portions were on the small side. We also had dishes sent to a wrong table and, after 10 minutes of it being on the wrong table, it was brought to us, which I feel shouldn’t have happened but, as we were running late on time, I didn’t argue about it. Pace wasn’t great as we didn’t have enough time for coffee and dessert. We were told that the kitchen closed at 10 so we planned on going back for dessert. Got there at 9:50 and were told they were closed and was not offered to pay for dessert to go which was a miss on their part as we would have been happy to pay for it to enjoy at home. Although it was an ok experience, I don’t think we would repeat and return to this establishment.

I had an amazing dining experience at Rialto. Amazing dinner right before our show next door at Paradis Theatre. Staff ✅ Food ✅ Drinks ✅ Vibe ✅ We really appreciate the server (I forgot her name) recommending to save some bread to sop up the Marsala mushrooms from our scallop dish. Absolutely delicious! Would definitely return and recommend to others. Thank you Rialto! Can’t wait to be back.

We really appreciated the suggestions our server offered. The brussel sprouts were in particularly amazing. I wish that there was at least 1 vegan option for a main dish. I did do vegetarian which was my only option, except the only veg. main dish was spicy. So no, non spicy vegetarian and no vegan option. But if you eat everything Italian, you will love it.

Great food but pricey for the amount you get. Service was good. Ony mess up was the timing of the vegetables, which came very late after the main plates were served. They discounted the veggies and gave us free desserts. Very professional of them. Our group of six had a wonderful time.

Had a really good experience here, great ambience and our server was amazing. Wish I could remember her name but made awesome dish suggestions and thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The portions are a little on the smaller side in my opinion but top quality with ingredients and flavour profiles. Ordered the rice balls, mussels pasta, Brussel sprouts 👍🏽
