Il Rione - Cleveland

This restaurant is wonderful. The location, ambience, staff, and food were just wonderful. We were in town last weekend for a concert and the R+RHOF. After the hall we got on Google maps looking for a pizza place. We chose Il Rione based on the reviews and location. We are from North Alabama and we really don't have neighborhoods like this. This is such a cool location. When we arrived we were told there was about an hour wait. My wife struck up a conversation with some other people and he strongly suggested it was very worth the wait. About 15 minutes later they called us to let us know our table was ready. Our drink orders were taken promptly. Our server returned with our drinks and took our order. While we waited for our pizzas I took the time to take in the restaurant. Exposed beam ceiling, lots of large windows, a fantastic bar, and an open kitchen. There are several tables in the front room, so you are close, but not too close. Our pizza arrived pretty quickly and it was wonderful. My wife had a white and I had a half margherita and half diavolo. Our server was very friendly and checked on us a couple of times. The price for the dinner was very reasonable. I would suggest to anyone this is the place to go and worth any wait. The pub across helps with the wait.

For the perfect night out, look no further than Il Rione. The pizza is AH-MAZING (as are the drinks), the patio is lovely in the summer, and the service is great.

My husband loves pizza and it's what he wanted for his birthday. A friend recommended this spot to us so when we were in town visiting my parents, it was my husband's choice for his birthday meals. My parents, husband, and I shared: Meat Cheese Plate Speck Pie (large) Half Diavolo/Half Green Pie (large) The pizzas are really good. The speck pie was definitely my favorite. I love lemon on a pizza and that with the hot honey and pistachios was a great combo. I'd recommend getting a large and splitting it between two people. It's the right amount of food and you save a lot of money over getting two smalls.

Awesome! Staff was terrific. We were greeted by, who I assume, was owner or manager and then he made a point to interact with again upon leaving. Pizza was delish! Thin crust, brick oven style. Very flavorful. Very trendy atmosphere but comfortable and cozy as soon as we entered. Busy on a Wednesday evening but they were able to accommodate our party of 6 without reservation. Glad to see the Gordon Square neighborhood Has some great places like this. We will definitely be back soon.

The atmosphere is so cool inside and the pizzas were delicious! Ordered the Green pie and the Speck pie. Don't wait around to check this place out, treat yo self! We ordered 2 pizzas for 2 people and had leftovers for 1-1.5 people depending on how hungry you are.
