Rigoni's Bistro

Just loved our dinner in this vibrant laneway. Restaurant was fully booked but staff went out of their way to welcome us to a lovely outdoor table well after 8.30. Service was prompt and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed the bruschetta, gnocchi with almond and pear ... and the seafood linguini. Wine selection was good and coffee too. The perfect end to our Adelaide getaway. Highly recommend!

The food that’s suppose to be salty (potato) is not salty at all, but the rest of the food has triple salt added... even mash potato and salad is so salty that I just had to waste the food... so literally I didn’t finish the food, coz it’s not eatable and I go home hungry... can’t believe the steak is like the size of whopper burger patty... anyway, two star for the presentation and attentive service... don’t think I’ll come back again...

I am highly disappointed as I have heard many good comments about this restaurant from family and friends. Firstly we waited 20 minutes before a staff member attended too us and provided us with menus which was followed by another 20 minute wait for out orders to be taken. I was appalled with the 50 minute wait for the food to come out. I specifically order an entree sized gnocchi and was satisfied with the size when it came out as it was small and as gnocchi was quite filling, my friends ordered the carbonara, which was also a reasonable size. Overall the gnocchi was flavourless and there was no sauce to accompany it, so it was plain and consisted of 0 flavour. I was horrified with the staff, as when I went to go pay I had seen that a main sized gnocchi was added to the bill instead of the entree sized gnocchi ($19 for entree sized and $27 for a main size), I ordered and received. I mentioned this to the waitress who served us and she insisted that I asked and received a main meal and spoke with an angry tone towards me, which then eventually after repeating myself several times that I was being over charged, I just had to give up and pay the extra $8. Many points have added to my 1 star rating, the wait, the staff and the food, if I could give 0 stars I would. I have attached an image below of the 'main' sized gnocchi. I will not be eating here or recommending this restaurant to anyone.
