Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

I've been meaning to review this place for over a month now. We spent a weekend in Alamosa and our dinner here was a very pleasant experience. The food was closer to a 4 star but the cuteness, cleanliness and exceptional customer service definitely deserve 5 stars. Wine, appetizers, entrees and dessert for under $50 - amazing deal. We ate at 3 different places that weekend and this was the best experience by far. Don't pass it up!

Good place to eat for the area. Good meal. Not great, but solid prices. Nice atmosphere.

Originally the Pizza Den and Pasta owners, they have now evolved into the premier Italian restaurant in the San Luis Valley. The old Rialto theater has been completely remodeled to house this wonderful eatery. The remodel job preserved a lot of the original character of the theater. The service is friendly, they have a nice selection of Italian beers and wines. The husband and I both had lasagna, mine was spinach and his was the Valley favorite. House salads are served with homemade dressing. And to top it off, the owner came by for a quick chat and touch. She is very proud of saving the theater and of her restaurant. Great addition to Alamosa.

Really giving this place 2.5 stars Maybe this small town needs to experience what real Italian food taste like before they say that's what they're serving. The place overall is nice, clean and welcoming. Our waitress was sweet and did a great job waiting on us. I only saw one wine I was familiar with so we went with the Layer Cake. The food was hit or miss. We started with salads and fried calamari. We were hesitant to get the calamari, but we asked our waitress if it was good and she said that it was one of the most popular starters. Our salads came out first. They were OK, certainly better than some of the iceberg lettuce plates I had been served in some of these small towns. It was chopped Romaine and even had some fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, and some canned olives. The calamari arrived and my man had to hold back laughter. I'd never seen calamari look like this before: rubber calamari strips?? They probably came out of a box I'm sure. At least it wasn't greasy and the marinara was flavorful. For dinner we had the veggie lasagna, the Caribbean pasta, and a pepperoni pizza for the little one. My pasta dish was pretty good, it had a nice spiciness to the sauce and the mushrooms had a nice sear to them that rounded out the dish. The pizza was pretty good as well - I really enjoyed the thin buttery crust. The veggie lasagna however was dreadful. It was just a bunch of ricotta with a few bits of veggies in it with maybe one layer of pasta. My boyfriend called it a hot bowl of cheese stuff. I'm sure for this small town this place is considered to be a nice restaurant, but for those who know Italian - you might be let down.

When a towns most popular restaurant is the neighborhood Chili's I get a little scared. The Yelper and foodie in me becomes sad. Thanks to my Yelp family I came across this neighborhood gem, Bistro Rialto. *Important to note they have a full bar but do not have a bar to sit at. When you're doing traveling for business alone a lot of the time I'm looking for a great bar to sit at instead of taking up a whole table on my own. Just saying. Classic comfort Italian food will be had here. I was craving some pasta so that's the side of the menu I stuck with. My evening consisted of: 2 glasses of Cabernet house wine Cesar salad, no anchovies please Spaghetti, homemade meatballs, and garlic bread The house Cabernet wine was delightful, hence the two glasses, and at $4.50 a glass it's a good deal too. Cesar salad was fresh the crisp accompanied my homemade croutons to seal the deal, delicious. The highlight for the evening was the entree. I could tell the meatballs were homemade, depth of flavor and lots of herbs and seasoning. Marinara sauce was thick and coated the spaghetti perfectly. Portion was large, there was no way I could finish it off. Prices and good for a family Italian restaurant, for my meal, $31 with tip. *One thing I wish they did was tell me about the special of the night. I heard my waiter tell another table and it sounded delicious and I would have totally ordered that if I was told about the dish (Cheese tortellini with Carbonara sauce). On my future visits to Alamosa I can see this making it in the rotation of solid dinner options.

For what's in town it was clean with good service. Also very reasonable prices and option for half dishes.

There were 7 people in our party - which I wouldn't consider uncommonly large, nor was it a busy night. Two side salads were not brought out with the others and one didn't have the dressing (which took telling the waitress twice before getting it). The main course was brought out in 3 waves and by the time the last two people got their food, the first three people were done. The chicken fettuccine alfredo wasn't any better than Pizza Huts - pretty disappointing. The waitress never did come with our tickets so I went to the hostess and 7 minutes later I finally got the ticket but then the hostess brought me back someone else's credit card slip .... and I paid with cash and needed change.

Stopped in with DH for dinner. Got a bottle of Chianti, shared a caeser salad and a pizza. Caeser was OK, pizza OK. Just OK.

Exceptionally good. The food, service, & ambiance cannot be beaten. Eat here!

BAD Day? About 50 minutes after our so-so salads, our waiter kindly (he was very kind and apologetic) informed us that he had neglected to turn in our pizza order. It would at least be hot when it arrived, he joked. It wasn't hot - not cold, but either it sat in the kitchen a while or it wasn't in the oven long enough. The pizza was far from good - a crust that reminded me of saltine crackers, sausage in the shape of pellets that looked like dog food, and nothing impressive but it's price.

I'm giving a one star for the hostess's ability in giving a time estimate. We were told 30 minutes top and it turned out to be over an hour. A good hostess would have a better handle of the flow of business.

This is hands down the best restaurant in Alamosa. I've eaten here on several occasions. The food and service is consistently top notch. As a twenty five year veteran of the service industry it is immediately obvious upon entering an establishment when owners and management are "from" the business. These folks are, and it is evident in the chef's preparations as well as the the efficiency of the front of house.

Delicious food, great service, excellent menu,easy access and a classy restaurant. Kailie was an excellent server and the dining experience was one of the highlights of our vacation.

Let me start by saying that I really would give this a 3-3.5 stars but in Alamosa we are almost tempted to give it 5+. Rural Colorado, especially if you are a vegetarian is a bit of a nightmare. They had both a vegetarian lasagne option and multiple salad options as well as things for people who need to go gluten free. Prices were very reasonable and they have options for half orders on many dishes. I got a salad and a half order of veg lasagne. The lasagne flavor was over all pretty balanced not super amazing but good, but it was swimming in cheese so I had to do a lot of scraping. The salad was basic but had a nice flavor - really pretty good. My friend got the calamari and found it to be pretty fishy but ate some of it. Her salad was also really good. The waitress and hostess were both total sweethearts - great customer service. Over all I would say give it a try.

Quaint little restaurant. Service was good, our waitress very attentive. Started with good side salad and house Cabernet which was tasty. Half order of lasagne was delicious - hot and fresh with plenty of sauce for the garlic bread.
(5)Mike S.
Spaghetti and Meatballs were phenomenal. Just a really cool restaurant in a small town... I'll be back for seconds.

The food was delicious, hot and reasonably priced! We live about 60 miles away and will eat here when we can. Friendly staff, GREAT food, good price. That just about says it all.
(5)M S.
Try it!!! Food was excellent. We had the Chicken Parm (special of evening) & Shrimp Alfredo. Servings were generous - we could have shared if we had wanted an appetizer. The shrimp was cooked perfectly. Both sauces were delicious. Good choice of wine by the glass. Garlic bread was wonderful. Service was friendly and attentive. Little gem in town!!!!!

I don't want to write a bad review of Rialto's because we so much wanted to like it. The atmosphere and service were fine. Cute little place with friendly and efficient wait staff. My pizza was the best food item we received. "The Works". Good thin crust not to cracker like but not chewy. Daughter's shrimp dish with spinach Alfredo was ok but not something to order twice. Husbands regular cut prime rib was ordered medium rare but came out over cooked and not very tender, italian vegetable side was bland. Risotto and Caesar salad were both good. So all in all ok but not someplace we would go again.

Surprisingly good food and ambience. Dinner party of three and we were all pleased. The kitchen was accommodating to our allergies and requested substitutions. There was wine.

Great, consistent place - the food is always great and the service is fantastic. Located downtown - look for the huge Rialto sign on the south side of Hwy 160 westbound.
