What a fantastic night at Rodi! Grace our server was excellent from the start. She helped us pick out a bottle of wine and made superb recommendations for dinner. Her presence throughout our dining experience was perfect. My Fiancée and I enjoyed a complementary dish from kitchen that was so delicious. After we enjoyed the Drunken Goat appetizer and shared a margarita pizza. We were still a little hungry so she decided to order the Cacio E Pepe and I ordered the Garganelli Tartufati. Both came out hot and fresh. We agree that the pasta was some of the best we've ever had. All in all a perfect experience for celebrating an intimate moment with my Fiancée and couldn't have picked a better place to enjoy it at. Will definitely be returning in the future!

Dined her for an easy date night. Reservations were easy to acquire, and honestly there were quite a bit of openings so a reservation wouldn't have been necessary. Our waiter was very nice and knowledgeable about the menu. We did do the bread (which is a cost) and it was delicious. We also had the Caesar salad to share. I will be honest and say it just wasn't our thing. A little too fishy for me. Our waiter noticed, and took it off the bill, which wasn't even needed. So kind! For entrees we had the braised short rib and the lasagna. The short rib....best ever. I'm not a huge fan of polenta and omg they made me fall in love. Absolutely the best thing on the menu we have tried! The lasagna was good too, but didn't compare to the short rib. Dessert: Tiramisu was delicious! Overall, a super nice eatery in Loveland. We would definitely be back! The service alone was worth the price. Parking is also atrocious, but expected for downtown Loveland.

The experience started with our dinner party of 4 enjoying some cocktails at the bar until our table was ready. Once at our reserved table we were eventually greeted by our server who seemed a bit flustered and rushed to say the least. After some confusion with ordering we finally got our dinner drinks and food and all was well in the world. Everyone else's dishes were good overall though my "Brazed Ribs" didn't meet my expectations, which may be from being a favorite of mine at another restaurant and having some bias. The atmosphere was fantastic and we were lucky to have such wonderful weather adding positive notes. The pricing was as expected since everything is made to order which was great for my wife's Gluten Allergy concerns allowing her to substitute some ingredients in her dish for others. She definitely appreciated the extra precautions given to her allergy and came out of the experience with no negative reactions.Dietary restrictions: Everything is made to order which was great for my wife's Gluten Allergy concerns allowing her to substitute some ingredients in her dish for others.

Let me start by saying this place has incredible Italian food. Everything we have had here has been unbelievable. Their pizzas are all great, thin crust, stone fired. They have great appetizers: fabulous calamari, pork belly, bread dish options. Their pasta is also incredible: Cacio e Pepe, Spaghetti Vongole, and the risotto is also delicious. Their tiramisu is my personal favorite of all time. We sat on their patio for the first time this past Saturday and it is one of the nicest outdoor areas I've ever experienced. We had our engagement party here and they were able to accommodate 20+ people. What really puts Rodi a step above other restaurants to me is the service. The staff really seems to care about working there and love what they do. This last visit I was charged for a bottle of wine instead of a glass. I didn't realize this until the day following and didn't have a receipt to prove anything. I called up there 5 minutes before close and a manager, Emily, was able to pull up my receipt, send it to me so I could verify the mistake, took my word on good faith that they made a mistake, and gave me a gift card to use on my next visit for the difference in price. I will surely be back soon, to hopefully sit on the patio again. If you love good Italian food: pasta, pizza, and seafood, like me, this is a must hit spot!

I'm giving 3 stars for service, because when we first arrived about 15 minutes early for our reservations (at 5:30) we were told that they had a 7:15 reservation for our table (a high top for 2) and would we be able to be finished by that time. Oh my -- we were prepared to never return again (what is it with Loveland restaurants and giving you a time limit?!? -- same thing happened to us at Tano. I have never had this experience anywhere else!) However, the food was wonderful and we'll return for whatever time limit they give us. LOL. We shared the Caesar salad (outstanding!), the Mushroom Truffle Pasta (fabulous!), the gnochetti with pancetta and sausage, and a lovely bottle of Chianti. I wish we would have had room left for dessert. And yes, we made it out with time to spare!

Let me start by saying any restaurant that is specializing in Italian cuisine that charges for bread served with the meal should rethink their life choices. Appetizers Burrata is a solid dish. Anything that has a drizzle of balsamic is a winner in my book. Personally not a fan of arugula but it was good nonetheless. Drunken Goat never had goat cheese with red sauce but it worked. The bread served with it was pretty damn good. Entrees Cacio E Pepe was by far my favorite dish. I love this anyhow but it was done right and would do it again. Bucatini Carbonara excellent and another favorite classic Italian dish of mine. The sauce was great and the pancetta had perfect cuts and had an excellent sear. Spaghetti Vongole actually one of the better dishes on the table. Regardless if you love seafood or not, the shrimp and clams were for sure very fresh and didn't have that fishy taste at all Bolognese showed promise and looked like a solid dish. Personally one of my all time favorites. Sauce was burnt. Pretty huge let down but it was handled properly and other dishes were offered free of charge. Probably my punishment for eating meat on Friday during lent haha. Overall a good place to eat. Maybe a little too modern for my liking when it comes to Italian food and my grandfather probably would've screwed his hat into the ceiling with being charged for bread but I would go back

Love their food! Salad was soo good!! This has become a regular spot for me. In the winter I like to just eat at the bar. When it's warm I like to eat outside with a riverview!

Thank you Rodi and staff for a fabulous group dinner last night. Our neighborhood group get together for 19 was amazing. This restaurant is lovely and has a fun vibe. It's located in Loveland which has really come alive for lots of fun outside and in. Marvelous food!!! Some of the best Italian dishes around. The chief surprised us with a fun amuse-bouche before hand and dinner only got better. Lots of fabulous drinks, wine, beer......amazing!!! You have to go!!! Outdoors area will open soon.

I have a gluten intolerance so I am always on the look out for restaurants with some GF options and I came here hoping for a good experience based on past reviews. I was not disappointed! This place is amazing! The pasta was wonderful and the bread…oh the bread! So yummy and fluffy! My non GF family ate it as well and they thought it was great! I had some little piece left and they gave me a box to take it home. The wait staff was well informed and so helpful. Norm, our waiter, was so nice! We will be going back for sure! I had the bolognese and bread. I think I will try a pizza next time.

Best restaurant in downtown Loveland, hands down. Stick to the pasta dishes, the pizza is just ok. They make good cocktails and the salads and apps are great.
This should be near the top of your list for Italian food. Think Soto just not as cool of an atmosphere. Food and service are amazing

The best lasagna!! and Krista the bartender is the best and Cincinnati!! we're in Rhody at least twice a week. It's a local favorite.

When visiting Loveland, be sure and book a table at Rodi's. The Lasagna was delicious. We tried the Caesar salad and the Chopped salad. Both were delicious. The portions were plentiful. The Tiramisu and the Cannolis are must-haves for dessert. Our waiter gave us excellent customer service. The vibe overall was relaxed. Seating was comfortable, not cramped. We all enjoyed the palate cleanser offered up to us early on in the night. Nice touch. Overall, A+.
