Rimini Restaurant

Fantastic food, nothing too much trouble, wonderfully warm friendly atmosphere and reasonably priced.

If there was a downside - one of the young waiters doesn't speak very good English, but this only seems to add to the evening, giving a "holiday feel" to the night.

We have been there approx. 5 times since the move to the larger premises - always used to enjoy, but it really seems to have gone up a notch since then, and each time have had a fab time.

They also have Frangelico - hurrah

looking at some of the older reviews and things must have changed for the better, I took my wife there for a meal and thought the food was excellent, good sized portions and a very friendly atmosphere, waited a bit for the bill but we did go on a busy sat night, would deff go again....

Over rated, over salted muck. Sold themselves extrememely short in the Customer Service skills area. Disappointing for what used to be a great local Italian restaurant...now a poor, pretentious substitute which seems to pick and choose who they apply any kind of etiquette to.

Rubbish.

40th birthday party for 18 people including 4 kids. Staff and manager really accommodating, food was great and good portions too. Would recommend this place to friends. We all had a good time and the prices were reasonable. The only downside was the banoffee cake could have been better.

We have been going to Rimini for years since it was at the old premises. The food is always incredible with staff always knowing what our family favourites are. The atmosphere in the restaurant is always lively and welcoming.

like all the other comments below, the old mini was a brilliant restaurant and was our families favourite Italian.

since opening the new store it has gone down hill so badly that people in the local area are beginning to avoid eating there.

The service was abysmal and quite honestly embarrassing, the table next to me had to ask for wine and a missing starter 5 times whilst the table opposite had waited for their bill for 20 minutes. We had to ask for our plates to be taken away and the bill 3 times and they still had the audacity to place a service charge....one we obviously didnt pay for.

The staff were rude and the food mediocre, which is such a shame because the atmosphere the old rimini once had has been lost.

please ignore comments that have rated 10 stars, these are obviously comments made by the owners to make people believe this is still a good restaurant.

I have frequented this restaurant for many years, at the old and also the new venue which has an excellent decor and a warm and relaxing atmosphere. All the staff are very friendly and polite and the management make you feel very welcome. The food is consistently excellent and nothing is too much trouble. If there was only one restaurant in Palmers Green I would want it to be this one!

Sadly, Rimini are running a masterclass in how to destroy a good restaurant through appalling standards of service.

Since the move to the new premises, what was my favourite Italian is now one of the worst I know.

The waiting staff have no idea how to treat customers. We were there early evening midweek when the place was a quarter full, yet the staff acted as if there was a queue of people waiting for tables - pulling plates and glasses away the instant they were empty.

Because we did not pay the bill and vacate our table immediately on finishing the meal we were repeatedly asked if we wanted dessert or coffee. After politely saying NO THANKS 4 times, I asked for the bill, did NOT leave a tip and resolved never to go back.

The service was poor, and this place should be shutdown.

The old rimini was the best.
