What Nick likes about Rinata Restaurant:
Had the Bucatini which was really good. Meat sauce was some of the best I’ve had. Good service, free bread for the table. Bruschetta also fantastic. Atmosphere is solid inside. Might have to wait a bit or get a reservation on the weekend. Good option if you are in the mood for high quality pasta. View all feedback. What Eddy H doesn't like about Rinata Restaurant:

We were a party of 5 during restaurant week. Everyone enjoyed their meal although one steak was too salty. The room was very warm. Server was great.
