Service was excellent. I ended up with a small issue with the broiled salmon. Server was understanding and attentive. He even made an excellent recommendation, sole stuffed with spinach and mozzarella. Incredible choice. Also had an excellent conversation with the owner. He was a great conversationalist and it was definitely a bright spot. Also, the Pinot noir was excellent.

After a long hiatus, we decided to head over to Rini's for dinner. We started with an appetizer and was not disappointed. The portion size was generous, and surprisingly included small tentacles, and not just calamari rings which most other italian eateries serve. The Zuppe di Pesce was enormous, while the two chicken entrees were of decent portions (you need to ask to substitute the potato side that came with the Valdostana with pasta, and would have loved a second piece on the dish). The tiramisu dessert was enjoyable but could have used a bit more rum. Overall, very enjoyable meal, prices very reasonable (glass of house wine was $10), and we look forward to going back. (A disappointing side note, there is no markings for parking spaces, and most patrons are elderly and need lots of room to get out, or inconsiderate. When we got back to the car there was a 3in black gash mark on rear door from the car parked next to us which was not there when we arrived, even though we puposely parked further away from the entrance).

My husband and I stopped there while traveling home from Florida. The food was absolutely wonderful. The owner(the bartender) and the waitress were very friendly. We will definitely plan on stopping there for dinner next time we are in the area.

Great Food, extensive selection, reasonable portions and prices. Very Good service by an attentive, polite staff who aim to please. Most recently, we were a group of 13 on a Friday night when they had entertainment. There was not a seat in the house. Nonetheless, Leo and his staff did an excellent job and our family and friends are looking forward to another happy return.

We held our rehearsal dinner on November 18, 2023 at Rini's. Leo, the owner, made it so special and perfect. He accommodated all our requests, not to mention that the menu is amazing and the food delicious. His client-focused approach, flexibility and attention to detail were all very appreciated. The attendees felt very welcome and comfortable thanks to the friendliness of his staff and the warm atmosphere of his restaurant. We appreciated his working with us to create exactly what we wanted and were so pleased with the result. It was a fantastic evening! Nani and Sandrine (Mothers of the Bride and Groom)

My wife and I stayed in the area overnight and use the help to find someplace suitable for dinner. This restaurant was high on the list and close so we gave them a try. We arrived a little early and there were only two other tables seated. That said, the food was terrific! my wife and I open with adult beverages, a Merlot for my wife and a Negroni for me. Unfortunately, mom, the bartender, top my Negroni off with soda water. Other than that it was a terrific Negroni! For our meals, my wife ordered the pepperoni pizza, personal size well, I ordered the clams casino and mussels and white wine with garlic. I really can't remember the last time I had clams casino, but these were awesome! My wife's pizza was big and fresh! And I truly enjoyed the mussels! For dessert, we splurged with some spumoni. I must say that for being a "wine bar, they have a very small selection. Inside of the restaurant was well decorated and our server did a wonderful job! If we lived closer, we would probably visit again. Keep up the great work!

I've been going to Rini's since Opening Night, and it remains my go-to restaurant for family events, work lunches and everything in-between. You will not meet a nicer, more considerate owner/host and the team (including kitchen crew) will do whatever is needed to ensure the right experience for that specific visit -- and every visit moving forward. There's a reason Rini's has been open far longer than most restaurants in the area. My advice is go, enjoy, make new friends, repeat. You will never be disappointed. Spoiler alert: Tell Leo you read James' review.

Excellent service! Great Elvis show! The filet mignon was delicious and seasoned well. Yum chicken parm! Salads are fresh! Clean and nice inside. Bar mixed drinks and wine are great. Indoor and outdoor seating with a tent. Fairly priced. Covid Safe!
