Rialto Restaurant — Restaurant in Burnie

Having dined here a few times before and been highly satisfied, we were appreciative of being seated for dinner but made to feel wrong for not having made a booking as we were pointed towards two options but under the condition we'd have to leave for the booking arrivals. We requested a smaller table that apparently is never offered but told by the manager don't rearrange the furniture as we squeezed ourselves in. Happy without the time restriction, we ordered a first and second wine choice. Each time the waitress returned telling us it wasn't available and that the manager was having trouble sourcing them. Finally we accepted the manager's recommendation but weren't overly impressed for the price. The specials entree was ok, but the mains - fettuccine - needed large lashings of extra flavourings to get the tastebud party started. Mine, being the main size serving, was extremely small for $29, and when we enquired of the manager whether I'd been mistakenly served the entree size, she suggested my husband could take what he couldn't eat as a takeaway ??? She went on to explain it was due to my dish having fewer ingredients!! The dessert portion was also disappointingly small. Service was ok, and the wait staff were attentive, but the manager lacked the spirit of hospitality to make us feel welcome. We felt we were a bother. There are better options for $200+ in...

TL;DR Sauce was Awful, was basically a Coles Pasta Dish but more expensive.

I was very disappointed.....actually I dont think that doesn't goes far enough, I was gutted.

Being italian I always hold places that are inspired from my culture to a high account and for many years Rialtos was on the places I reccomended.

I had the Ravoili Napolitano, I dont normally have pastas out at restaurants because they arent great and I prefer to make them.

Believing I was going to get a decent Pasta dish I proceeded to eat what took me 40 mins to finish and felt sick eating.

The Ravioli was alright no issues, wasnt the best but it was acceptable. The sauce though "Mio Dio" was that awful....it tasted worse than the sauces you buy from Coles supermarket that have been preseasoned.

I honestly thought you guys just bought those jars and made a Coles pasta dish. If you didnt whoever was seasoning put in WAYYYY too much Basil and Oregano.

If you guys dont have a recipe for sauce I am happy to provide one because that was embarrassing.

Commenti allo chef, È stata...

Went there for my wife's birthday as Locals‘ recommendation. On Wednesday night booked at 7pm and arrived at around 7:15pm. Came with the entire family with little one. Took a long while for the food to serve.

The Oyster took about 40 mins to serve and then another 25~30mins waiting for the Greek Salad. The mains served around 9pm.... I felt bit sorry to my Dad because Mum‘s diabete condition. Fortunately they been very understanding, because is my wife‘s birthday. And the little one was way over her bed time already, by the time we finish dinner. At the end we left without the dessert, because everyone was tired. 3 mains, oyster and Greek Salad for the entire night. Overall the food is good quality, fresh and tasty, but the management and service can be improved. It will be nicer to offer something to accompany instead asking twice for...
