Riondo’s is a very nice Italian restaurant in Galveston on The Strand! The food is sensational and service is welcoming and attentive. There is a nice wine relation and cocktail list. We highly recommend Riondo’s. Nathan is a wonderful server. Thank you for taking care of us Don, Christian and Nathan.

Came back for a second time for my 40th birthday and the menu had changed. Of course, my favorite dish had been taken off. The asked the waiter if the chef could still make the dish, noticing the ingredients still on the menu in other dishes. The chef said he could and I had the best birthday dinner. The Angry Scallops are so good and I was sad to see that they had been taken off the menu, but so happy the chef accommodated me. I’ll definitely be back again!
