Christmas time is truly the best time to go bc its beautifully decorated! Portions are huge so recommended splitting entrees or prepare to have take home box. Service is outstanding and all pasta homemade except penne and rigatoni. Only con - F&B is overpriced but understandable due to location and popularity. Highly recommend though!

We brought a close friend who was visiting from out of town to RPM for dinner and she loved the food, the service and the ambiance. We knew we could count on the great service and excellent food and it did not disappoint. Our server India was fantastic and made sure that our orders were timed perfectly and just as we asked. Highly recommend.

Very creative and delicious food and drinks. Had the Guava margaritas. One virgin and one regular. They were both good and found that the taste became better once paired with the crab guacamole. I also had another mango margarita that was sweeter and more to my liking. The crab guacamole was our favorite of the three dishes we had. The short rib tacos were beautifully presented and delicious. Nice spices. The wagu empanadas were tasty but not as good as the other two for us. The staff is great and very friendly.
