    One of the worst risottos I have ever had! We had a prosciutto and rocket pizza witch was good, an ok salad and a "mushroom risotto" witch was normal boiled rice topped with mushrooms and cream (photos say everything) and they charge 15£ for it! It is obvious that this cook had no idea what a risotto is. We talked to the waiter who was very polite and offered to take it back, so we had another pizza. Overall its an OK place for a pizza but pricy for what they offer and please do yourself a favour and don't order risotto for an reason.

    My partner and I are obsessed with the authentic gelato flavours at Rialto Lounge and it's become out local little treat, with always new flavours to discover and try out! We've sat in as well as had takeaway from here, and love the variety of authentic Italian dishes on offer and high standard of dishes! The staff are so welcoming and attentive, and the decor is lovely and so colourful! Would definitely recommend!

    We didn't have a reservation as we went to Dorking spontaneously that day! But, they gave us a table at the back where kids play area. Manager and staff were excellent. Very attentive service. Great food and wine. And, delicious gelato!!! Salted caramel was 👍

    Best gluten-free pizza in Surrey, lovely staff. It's a great place. I wish they'd hand out handphones for annoying kids on tablets, but that's a small gripe in the face of great food and fab service

    The best dining experience we have had in a very long time. We asked for a spaghetti pomodoro off menu and this was kindly provided. Beef lasagne with chips was also delicious. Finished with amazing gelato. The atmosphere of this restaurant is so cosy - clean and beautifully presented with pretty Venetian murals covering the walls. Brilliant birthday dinner!

    We got the seafood spaghetti and the veal. I loved the generosity of the seafood, I kept finding more Mussels. I veal was a bit disappointing, but overall happy our meal. The gelato is a must! So many gorgeous flavours to choose from.

    Nice Italian eatery; accommodated gluten and dairy allergens. Most of the staff were very friendly; just one stick-in-the-mud caused some tension with her attitude.

    Another lovely evening spent at Rialto in Dorking…a great menu, attentive staff and yummy homemade gelato. We had the lovely Halyna look after us and nothing was too much trouble. Always great to support a local, independent and unique Italian restaurant. Even better if you hold a loyalty card.

    I haven’t been here for a while, and I admit to being very fussy about good ice cream (I make my own). We popped in Saturday night and I tried the pomegranate ice, and was surprised and delighted by how good it was. Will certainly come back to try some others

    Absolutely delicious food, very welcoming and staff are lovely. It's a small seating area but truly lovely. Dine in, take away is an option and there is an additional two tables situated outside the front of the restaurant. Rialto also sell an amazing array of ice creams, I am never disappointed with the ice cream flavours sold, all made by them I believe and flavours change weekly. I always visit and there is never a disappointing visit.

    My wife and I popped in for lunch today; we both had the Sea Bass from the lunch menu - it was excellent, well cooked and very tasty. The staff were friendly and helpful - thank you to everyone.

    Went Sunday lunchtime for a family meal, wasn't too busy and seated promptly. My starters of Calamari were cooked perfectly, my daughter had garlic bread (very much like a flatbread) which I couldn't resist pinching a portion, and it tasted as good as it looked. For mains I chose the Seabass, was served with boiled new potato and roasted veg. The fish was cooked to perfection, very delicate flavoured; not usually a huge fan of new potatoes, but these were just right and a great accompaniment. Haven't been back for a while but well worth it, will visit again next time I'm in Dorking.

    Had spaghetti bolognese & cheese garlic bread to take out. Both were delicious!Collected very quickly. A quiz night was taking place so very busy!

  • 2/5 Annalisa B. 1 year ago on Google
    We had just a couple of starters but as an Italian i felt insulted that they called it Italian food. The calamari were not tasty and the croquettes with besciamella and ham... What was that?

    Pleasantly surprised. A member of our group suggested this venue and we found it very appealing. Food was excellent and had an enjoyable lunch.

    Lovely staff, delicious meal. The food was fresh, tasty, and cooked to perfection! I had the fish special, limoncello, cocktails, desserts. Definitely more than just an ice cream place - though the gelato is certainly *chef kiss*

    I visited on a business trip and was not disappointed. The service was extremely friendly and helpful. They food was great and the menu nicely varied. Of course, we had gelato for dessert! I chose two different flavours and I hope to sample more if I end up in the area again. Thank you for a lovely evening! Pictured is the gorgeous starter I enjoyed.

    Not family -friendly - those unsafe wooden high chairs are what they use. My girls were being fussy but staff attitude was not good or helpful and we were made to feel unwelcome and as though we should leave as soon as possible, and that was before they started kicking off so imagine what it was like when they did... 🙃

    Very disappointed on 1st visit ,Grilled fish was swimming in watery liquid also found 3 bones in fish, complained had Tomato&cheese pizza waitress gave me in place of fish steak knife was given to me could not cut it so dry. My partner enjoyed his Lasagne & chips which had served to him 5 mins before my meal was served to me,bad timing .

    Stopped off here by chance as we were passing through, really impressed with the food, will definitely make an effort to return in the future. Friendly helpful staff, great range of options on the menu, and delicious homemade ice cream made for a perfect evening out.

    I loved it.. All genuine Italian food beautifully but simply prepared by the family. Caring and attentive staff and very reasonable prices at the low end of the menu. Best whitebait I have tasted in years, not just unfrozen. Liver & bacon also superb as was the spaghetti al vongole.. good omelette as well.. fellow guests reported.Easy parking too. I shall be going again ere long!
