Our journey started more than thirty years ago working for our family owned Italian American Restaurant and later opening our own location in Modesto. We purchased Red Tavern in 2013 and we continue to operate it as well. The thought of Rione began a few years ago while vacationing in Rome. Since our first trip we have returned several times to take classes, experience the culture, share time with friends and family, and to bring back menu items sometimes never seen in the United States. Staples such as Carbanara, Cacio e Pepe, Pasta Gricia, Amatriciana, Suppli, and Pizza Tonda are a few menu items born in Rome, often changed, and our intent is to prepare them as you would experience when visiting Rome in their most traditional form.
