This restaurant offers amazing Georgian food. The taste is delicious and fresh. We ordered many items, like the bread-boat with cheese and egg yolk, the meat dumplings, the grilled pork neck, and the tomato soup with chicken. I would highly recommend this place to anyone as their food is superb, the service is kind and considerate, and the ambience is comfortable.

It was our first time at Rioni. All the family are big fan of Georgian food, harcho soup was very nice, though more spicy then suppose to be. The eggplants and phali had extreme amount of chili in it, which definitely not a Georgian common used spice in these dishes, since I do not eat super spicy food I asked the waiter about eggplants after tasting these and he went to kitchen, tried them and confirmed it is spicy, so they proposed to remove it from my bill. We all loved khachapuri. Lamb chops and pork from the grill were very good and properly done. Very good selection of Georgian wines. We had a nice experience overall, but if you are looking to try traditional Georgian dishes they will taste very different from originals you are used to.

Thank you for your feedback! Actually the spicing varies from different areas: In the western parts of Georgia they use chili much more than in the eastern parts. We import our spices from Georgia, but unfortunately animal products we cannot import, and thus cheese and meat cannot taste 100% like the totally naturally grown meat does in Georgia. Recipes, cooks and other ingredients are however 100% authentic Georgian! Hope to see you again <3

The athmosphere and decor of the restaurant is cozy, stylish and neat. Waiterstaff is very pro and welcomming. We were, as a party of 8, treated very well.
The food concept we enjoyed was with shareable dishes centrered the table. Tasteful and well seasoned is keywords for the georgian dishes. We enjoyed every part of the restaurant and would highly recommend Rioni.

Excellent authentic Georgian food! Highly recommend the cheesy bread, beef stew, and dumplings. The Georgian fizzy drinks are a lot of fun, too. We enjoyed the Pear and Tarragon flavors.
Staff is wonderful as well.

The food was absolutely amazing. We had the “boat” cheese bread, meat stew and sausage. We didn’t know what to expect but every aspect exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend!
