Riondo’s Ristorante is located in the heart of historic downtown in Galveston Island, TX. Proprietors Don McClaugherty and Chef Rico Caminos offer Northern Italian cuisine crafted from generations of family recipes and are known for their “Farm to Fork” and “Sea to Table” values.

Special Event SPACES
Vault Room
This room seats 16 people. This is a semi-private room. There is an option for a set menu or an option to order off our regular menu. There is no charge for this room. However, we do take credit card information to hold the room. We do not charge or validate funds or anything of this nature to hold the party. This is only a safeguard against no-shows. In the event of a no-show we charge $100.
George P. Mitchell room
This is the upstairs banquet room. It holds a maximum of 80 people for a sit-down dinner and 120 people for cocktails and hors d'oeuvres. The room fee starts at $250 for 20 people or less, for 20-40 people the fee is $500, for 40 people and up the fee is $700. Prices for a formal buffet with a dedicated server typically start at $45 per person for four courses. This price includes coffee, tea, and soda. Smaller packages may be available at a lower rate but will not include all four courses. Plated courses are an option with smaller parties, and the price per person tend to increase with this option. This price does not include alcohol. Alcohol package prices vary based on the needs of your party.

The Kitchen
Edgardo “Rico” Caminos
EXECUTIVE CHEF
On a daily basis, he not only devises off-the-menu featured items for both lunch and dinner, he also oversees and participates in the creation of most of the integral ingredients for his dishes. He makes his own pastas and sauces; the pizza dough, Focaccia, and Ciabatta breads are baked in house; and Rico even goes so far as to make his own cheeses and the ladyfingers for his Tiramisu.
