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 needed to host a larger group and R Wine had accommodations for eight people through Open Table, which made our decision to dine there an easy one. The service was outstanding, food amazing, atmosphere unique and a delightful wine list with many well priced options.

    Others have commented on the lack of a good exhaust system for the centrally located kitchen area. I’d have to agree it’s a little smokey but other than that, place it great… as was the food, wine and service.

    Waiter missing most of time. Very long wait for meal to arrive. People arriving after us received their food before us. Little lemon in pasta dish. Papalina was overcooked and seemed to be more of a blended dish/mushy. Little to no prosciutto or peas. Overall, sad outing for the restaurant hype.

    Great menu, unfortunately an inconsistency in service and food temps. Been here a few times, sometimes the food is served warm or less than hot. Server was going to bring bread as a starter and never brought it. It's in the details folks.

    What wonderful ambiance! ALL of the staff were so friendly and helpful, like they were all owners, and we were made to feel like family! Food was not only great, but some of the dishes were also prepared in a unique way that raised our eyebrows a a first until we tasted it. Amazing flavours! You have to try the mussel appetizer! Our mains were fantastic with great portion sizes, not too much and not leaving us wanting more! Wish we lived closer to enjoy more often!

    I thought our food was terrible. Our salads had brown, wilted lettuce in them. Our food arrived cold. My entree was some rigatoni noodles with a sprinkling of sausage and a few shavings of cheese. It had very little flavor other than the taste of bland pasta. The only bright spot of the evening was how Dante, the manager, reacted to our complaints. He was very apologetic and comped our entrees. I will not be eating there again.

    Our second time to eat at R wine Bar this month. We enjoy so much the live music, great staff and very consistent standard of food taste, presentation and flavor. However, I think that your restaurant has an issue with extractor fans in the kitchen area. On both occasions that I have recently dined here, my clothes (and hair) have been left reeking with the smells of food. It is a very unpleasant downside to an otherwise very pleasant evening out. I hope you can do something to address this issue.

    My rigatoni was a little dry (needed some sauce) but the steak with gnocchi entree was PHENOMENAL. I would describe the caramel cheesecake in the same way. So good. We also enjoyed the bruschetta app and red wine selections we made. Live music (happened to be a very talented singer) and good service rounded out to make a 5/5 experience. We even considered returning the next evening. Highly recommend.

    We had an amazing night at R Wine Bar & Kitchen. My wife and I are super busy with work and busy as parents too so we were extremely pleased when our server allowed us the opportunity to pick the pace at which the night would go. Some places rush you in and rush you out......Not here. The service, food, atmosphere....everything was perfect. They also had a guitar player there which topped off the evening. I have not had an "average" evening there yet.....Every visit is just as good...if not better than the last. Highly recommend!!!

    We made reservations 2 days prior. Arrived on time. Stood awkwardly by the entrance for 10-15 minutes - no host or welcome. Asked for a quiet table - they sat us by the entrance door. Service was very slow. Probably will not be back.

    R Wine Bar is our favorite restaurant in Sioux Falls. We love the Sea Bass entree, and enjoy the warm ambiance. Some nights, a jazz band can be heard playing in the corner - a real treat. Service is excellent and staff are friendly.
