We found Rigoni's while taking a walk around the streets near our hotel. The day we visited the apologetic owner explained that his cold room had broken down, and he graciously referred us to another excellent restaurant. I'm very glad we came back the next day, because their breakfasts are outstanding. My dish of poached eggs baked in a rich... More

Just had a wonder meal... It was recommended by our hotel reception staff .. Had Port Lincoln oysters with vodka ... Wonderful. Full of flavor.. Then we ate pasta with crayfish... Scrumptious meal, finished with coffee. A wonderful meal.. What I would expect for South Australia.. Perfection. Definitely will return More

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Have been there 3 times, twice for dinner and once for breakfast. I've always been a tight [--] when it comes to tipping but this... More

Rigoni's is open for the business clientele for breakfast lunch and dinner and is an institution when it comes to coffee and lunch meetings mid week. The meals are always very good, the service is great with many of the waiters having worked there for a number of years so the atmosphere is warm, inviting and familiar. More

I have eaten at Italian restaurants around Australia especially in capital cities. Rigonis has a relaxed but elegant atmosphere, the food is excellent and very moderately priced for the quality of the cuisine. The staff are very attentive and congenial. Overall it is a great dining experience. More

The menu offerings, quality of food and excellent service made for a wonderful dining experience. The menu is supplemented with great specials. This is also a restaurant ranked as the best in Australia for breakfast! We know why! It isn't open Saturdays or Sundays. The noise level can get a little high when it is packed. More

Charging $1 for a side of Parmesan after paying $50 for a bowl of pasta is a frigging joke! Staff ran around panicked which did not create a relaxed environment! And the utterly out of place pictures of an abstract gumby is completely out of place. Poor table next to us of 15 couldn even move, squashed in like sardines!... More
