Loved the food and Al fresco dining atmosphere here! The staff were attentive and polite and we were lucky enough to have a band singing for us - definitely a romantic place to be! Our pasta dishes were delicious but serving size was a bit small.
Times have changed as has this place.
Well weathered and a bit worn.
Food was lacking, service was lacking, and they jacked up the prices.
And I was telling people how good it was.
There were 4 of us and we were all disappointed.
I love it here.
Still an institution in itself and the food speaks volumes.
Always busy and with good reason.
It's really tough to write this as I enjoyed my meal thoroughly and my husband absolutely did not. I had the chicken saltimbocca and the rocket and pear salad - absolutely delicious. Not a very big portion, but it left room for the sublime tiramisu. Not too sweet - just perfect. Hubby had the pork cutlets - they were tiny, the salsa was cold, the side of potatoes didn't arrive until he'd finished which we sent back. The table service was brilliant. I would recommend this restaurant - just don't have the pork!

Have always enjoyed our meals here, fabulous atmosphere
Haven't been disappointed yet and don't expect to. The staff are pleasant and their meals are fabulous.
My husband and i have enjoyed a few breakfasts and a couple of dinners here now. Always delicious poached eggs, staff are attentive and this restaurant has a great atmosphere, our friends especially love this place.
We love this restaurant, fabulous atmosphere, attentive staff and delicious italian cuisine. Our friends are italian and said it reminded them of home. All our meals were amazing, cooked to perfection, could not fault anything. Yes, a bit more expensive than others but we felt it was money well spent.
The bruschetta with prosciutto and the coffin bay oysters are an absolute must try. They offer some great pasta dishes and the seafood tasted so fresh. Was a very enjoyable night out.
Will definitely be returning very soon.
Always enjoy a meal at Rigoni's
Very traditional Italian food which is why I came with some work colleagues after work.
I've never been too fond of pasta because I find them too carby, hence fattening, however this place is worth getting fat for. The atmosphere is great, reminds me of little Italy, even though I've never been to Italy.
We all got different dishes each so we all had a taste of each others, and all 3 dishes were amazing nice and not overly cheesy. I imagine if I was Italian this is the way I'd grow up.
It is a bit expensive but with the entertainment card there is a bit of a discount so made it a bit better

Sounds like a great place to try, thanks for reviewing.
I come here all the time for the great pasta and great service. I always come for dinner but would like to try their breakfast some day. I had their tiramisu for dessert once and it was delicious! Prices are as expected for fine dining. I would def come again.
Approximate cost: $25-35
nice pasta served in this place. nice review
This long established Italian restaurant is renowned for its setting, food and service. It attracts patrons from all walks of life and has a great vibe. The meals are tasty with a good wine list and it makes a great lunch venue. I enjoyed lasagne and salad which was served in a timely manner and just watched the world around me.
Thanks fro Sharing your experience
They have just done up their restaurant so I am keen to go again - you have reminded me.
Very nice meals and a good selection. Mostly traditional Italian fare but nothing too special. For the prices we were disappointed to still be hungry afterwards.
Approximate cost: $28.00
Thanks for your comments I have just had a similar report from my parents who ate there last week and were very disappointed at the quality of the food as well as the price.
Disappointing unfortunately - I had high expectations of this restaurant with huge praise from friends and being touted as very much one of Adelaide's best Italian experiences. Perhaps we went on an off night but the service was unpleasant and I felt more an inconvenience than a paying customer but most disappointing was our meal - beef cheeks were nicely cooked but lacked in flavour and the chicken rotolo again was well cooked but sadly lacking in flavour and the accompanying minestrone was very unappetising. I've been so lucky to have eaten in Italy and the food there is sublime, Rigonis I am sorry to say was no so on this occasion.
Approximate cost: $25
Fantastic food, make sure to order main not entree size as portion are quite small, but it is a great restaurant in a very nice location
Approximate cost: $30
This is a classic Italian restaurant. Not only does it make the food taste traditional, but you can be guaranteed that it'll feel like you're in a little restaurant in Italy. The cobbles paving outside the large windows adds that feel of a charming little establishment. Not that I've been to Italy, but eating here makes you feel like you have to some extent.
Approximate cost: $50 for 2 people
