An Amazing Tradition of Amazing Food
The specialty here is cuisine from northern Italy. Family recipes that have been handed down for generations are at the heart of everything at Riondo’s. But they certainly would not taste nearly as delicious without the incredible ingredients that go into them. The owners here are as committed to “farm to fork” values. This is evidenced by strong relationships to the most local and quality sourced ingredients like the shrimp from Galveston Shrimp Company. Everything is made from scratch daily, from the artisan bread that provides the foundation for every meal here to the specialty pastas, and decadent desserts.
There are so many things to love about the menu like fresh pastas, juicy steaks, tender seafood, gourmet pizzas, and much more. The Gamberi Scampi is the best you will find anywhere, with perfectly sautéed shrimp, garlic butter, and lemon. One of the most popular items on the menu is the Gnocchi Di Spinachi A La Panna, with prosciutto, green peas, and made from scratch spinach potato gnocchi.
Much More Than a Great Meal
