Riccardo was born in Florence, Italy and grew up in Boston, MA. Marybeth, a Sioux Falls native, ventured to the east coast as a nanny and then nursing school in Somerville, MA. The two met, fell in love, and became engaged on Martha’s Vineyard island. Moving back to Sioux Falls in 1999 and working at several area restaurants, they opened R Wine Bar in 2018. As owners of R Wine Bar, Riccardo and Marybeth are passionate about one thing: people. They believe that people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. With a curated wine list, local craft beer on tap, and beautifully executed menu, Riccardo and Marybeth are thrilled to bring R Wine Bar & Kitchen to the East Bank of Downtown Sioux Falls along with their General Manager, Jane Allen, Executive Chef, Andrew Morgan, and Director of Catering, Ben Swenson.

We always have a great experience eating at the R bar. We love the jazz music by hegg brothers & always have wonderful wine pairings. I of course would have loved more Kale in my pasta, but otherwise that pasta is one of the best.

Delicious meal. Steak was cooked perfectly. Server was knowledgeable. One person in the group has hearing difficulties so the music was a little too loud to be able to enjoy the conversation.

The food is delicious and I definitely recommend. We arrived with a reservation and were sat immediately. The live music was great and kept us entertained. Our server was very attentive and our food was delicious. This amazing restaurant in the heart of Sioux Falls is a ten out of ten pick for anyone who wants great food.

We had an early reservation but were given a table in a bad location just feet away from where servers picked up the orders. Lots of chit chat among the staff at the pickup site. Ironically, our service was minimal and slow. We could see our food setting on the warming station for at least five minutes. On the opposite wall from our table was a door through which two musicians were carrying equipment, resulting in a January draft. Also ironically, no overhead music was playing either, so that left a void in the atmosphere too. Our food was good but nothing outstanding, especially for the price and the lack of service.

Really cute place! Next time I will sit at the bar and enjoy an appetizer as I did enjoy the cozy vibe!! Our entrees were not balanced in flavor, the Sea Bass dish left us feeling as though we had just eaten a lemon soup garnished with an under seasoned piece of fish. Disappointed that there was not a house made pasta to select.

Great environment, wonderful live singer, absolutely delicious food and tasty wine! We were sat at a table right in the middle of the room- kind of felt like we were in a fish bowl and wish that we were sat towards the exterior of the dining room but that is my only complaint. We will be back!!!
