    If you haven't been to this awesome restaurant yet, what are you doing with your life?! It's the greatest food I've ever tasted and the nicest service ever. Always deserved the tip!

    Great place! Highly recommended. Very good food, friendly staff, original Georgian tastes. There are set options for those who want to discover Georgian cousine. We couldn't eat everything we ordered, so will be enjoying our take out as well. Very good price-size-quality balance. Definitely will come back!

    It is hard to describe how wonderful this place was. I am from Georgia, and I felt at home. The food was absolutely the same as in Georgia. The staff was friendly and helpful. Nice atmosphere and great service. Thank you so much for the unforgettable experience.

    We were celebrating b-day with my mother at this place. Food was perfect comparing all Georgian cuisines restaurants I've visited. Portions are big enough, and not so expensive . After we finished, lady brought really beautiful cake with ice-cream and candle🥺🥺. It was unexpected and sweet from restaurant side! Thank you so much!!!!

    Very cozy place with fantastic food and relaxing atmosphere! Khatchapuri was excellent! Service is good but not perfect, as sometimes we had to wait to order additional drinks

    Me and my wife visited this restaurant on our first wedding anniversary. Customer-service and atmosphere was very nice. The food was tasty and filling. Also Georgian red wine was great. For our surprise they offered us dessert cake for free to celebrate more. Very pleasant experience and we would recommend this restaurant for everybody!

    Ruoka on hieman yksinkertaisempaa, mutta todella maukasta. Perinteisestä georgialaisuudesta on paljon tuota tänne tunnelmaan niin sisustuksessa, musiikissa kuin mauissa. On todella miellyttävä paikka syödä ja tutustua Georgian makuihin. Paljon viinejä ja juomia on tarjolla tuotuina Georgiasta ja erityisen palvelualttiit tarjoilijat opastavat georgialaisen kulttuurin saloihin. Käsin syömistä suositaan ja ruokaa on joka annoksessa runsaati sillä ajatuksella, että kaikki tuodaan pöytäseurueelle ydessä jaettaviksi, mutta kannattaa varautua kunnon nälällä...

    Lovely authentic food. Full of colour and lot's of salad. We had the Sharing menu for 2. Loved the quail, aubergine and walnut rolls, chicken and walnuts stew - so full of flavour, meat kebabs were too salty and pork was a little fatty in places. A really nice meal was eaten and some came home with us as there was a lot given. Atmosphere could have felt a little cosier (to match the food). All the all a very enjoyable evening.

    A very friendly restaurant, very good food and competent wine advice. A great ambience rounds off the visit and is definitely worth a 5 star, with a plus recommendation.

    Ordered the lamb soup and cheese bread. It was so nice to taste lamb in a different format than curry. Very tasty! Georgian red wine was decent but I used to buy a better Georgian red wine until the wine shop stopped selling it. I will return next trip and try more from the menu.

    Olipas kerrassaan kiva käynti! Kaverin kanssa supra kahdelle ja maistuihan se hyvin! Paikallinen perus lager olut piti testata tietenkin, tosin 0.5l kokoonsa nähden 12e on kyllä kallis, olkoonkin erikoismaahantuotua. Harmitukseksi jostain syystä ei saanut ruoan lopuksi espressoa (kone ei ollut päällä?), ja peruskahvin hinta oli myös hieman liian korkea niin en sitäkään ottanut. Loppuun silti napattiin se hunajakakku eikä ollut liian imelää eli aivan passeli professional. Talon brandy oli myös suunmyötäistä!

    Wonderful atmosphere! Very welcoming. We enjoyed a relaxing dining experience without feeling rushed. Delicious entrees and appetizers. Great wine. Beautiful food presentations. The service was outstanding! Thank you, David!

    Some of the best food I had in my entire trip to Tampere. I will definitely be back before I go to try some other dishes. I had the chicken in garlic cream sauce with a green salad. The dressing on the salad was a surprise, very tangy and refreshing. The chicken was also fantastic; tender and garlicky. No complaints whatsoever.

    It’s not a first time when we have Georgian dinner with Rioni and it’s always right on point. Tasty food and amazing service. This time we visited for b-day and we were so gladly surprised too! That much surprised that we forgot about tipping the waiter, what a shame! But we will fix it next time! Because we will visit again. One of the fav places in Tre. Huge recommendation 😉

  • 5/5 Miube 10 months ago on Google
    Our favorite restaurant in Tampere. Flavours that you can't find anywhere else. Must have imeruli khachapuri (cheese bread)

  • 5/5 mistermystery 1 year ago on Google
    I had always been curious about trying Georgian food and came in with high expectations, I'm glad to say my expectations were exceeded! The food was great, I definitely recommend trying it for anyone wondering if it's worth a visit.

  • 4/5 Anastasiia D. 1 year ago on Google
    Interesting place and good food! I would say though, a bit overpriced in my opinion for this kind of interior/food taste and variety.

  • 5/5 Carlos Henrique C. 1 year ago on Google
    I ordered their food for my birthday. Personnel was very kind and the food was absolutely delicious. The time for pick up was as sharp as the train time. Next time I will enjoy the great ambience from the restaurant.

  • 5/5 Adelina C. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered from Helsinki and Tampere restaurants. As a Georgian, I describe the food not just tasty but authentic. A truly Georgian food. Big portions, relatively short wait time. Surely would order more !

  • 5/5 Tobias W. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff was Great and super nice. We got great recommendations by the staff as it was our first Georgian food experience. We will definitely come back several times! Thanks for having us!

    The food is tasty and original, and the service really nice. Pretty heavy though, so choose wisely: starter+main+dessert may be unrealistic.

  • 5/5 Lasse L. 2 years ago on Google
    This is among the best restaurants in Tampere. Food and service is excellent and restaurant is stylish and very cozy. The noice from the busy street didn't disturb at all. You didn't even notice the world outside. I visited Rioni in mid winter and hope to enjoy their hospitality again soon as possible. The theme of the restaurant is georgian food. Both meat and vegetarian dishes were spot on. No complaints. The only minus I'll give is the cheese and the bread. Because after you've tasted those, the finnish cheese and bread is going to taste like rags and news paper. Don't just take my word for it. Go to Rioni and taste yourself.

    Rioni has quite a diverse menu on offer and while I am not the best judge on Georgian cuisine, it was far better than what I had tried in the previous "authentic Georgian cuisine". The food was very savory and the staff was friendly. The menu can be daunting and it is best if you share food with the table as some portions are quite massive. I recommend the lamb stew and the mushroom dumplings.

    Just had a lunch there. Great authentic food with amazing taste. Good portion size.

  • 5/5 Jakob Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Really great experience! Went with a group of friends for dinner, finished with chacha. Best food in Tampere!

  • 5/5 Роман �. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice and comfortable Georgian food, really the best food and Tampere. Chacha is real one, Georgian wine is simply awesome and food will carry your senses away - too good for Finland

  • 3/5 Patience S. 2 years ago on Google
    The food is wonderful, the cheese bread, pkhali, and chashashuli were especially delicious. If you order the corn bread, order it with one of the stews: it has a great texture but the flavor is very bland and a little dry to be eating on its own. It would also be nice if grilled items were served on larger platters, though-- the quail's platter was barely bigger than the quail itself and it made it very difficult to get any meat from the bird since there wasn't much room for things to be cut (check out the attached photo). Our waiter waited until we were ready to order before telling us what items they were out of, so we had to take more time to make a new order. After all of our food was brought out, he avoided our table entirely-- it's very hard to do that in Rioni's very small dining room, and I'm not sure why he did so (it was very obvious as well-- he was frequently going to other tables and then turning away so that he couldn't see one of us raising a hand to talk to him). We received our food at around 19:15 and were finished by 19:30 and intending to order dessert, but he "didn't see" or respond to us until after 20, after which the kitchen was closed. That was a baffling detail of the night, but overall Rioni is definitely worth a visit.

    My favourite restaurant in Tampere! I have tried most of their dishes and not a single one has let me down. As a comparison in terms of Georgian food, I only know half a dozen or so places in St. Petersburg, but this one is better than most, maybe even all of them. Friendly service as well (they speak at least Finnish, Russian and English), and dog-friendly as well.
