Sioux Falls

About the restaurant

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, Assistant Manager Bailey Bernal, Sous Chef Caleb Carr, Sous Chef Esteban Gonzalez, and Culinary Director Adam Schumacher.

We had a beautiful evening! I order salmon often, but this was easily the best salmon I had ever had! My husband thought the same. The gnocchi on which the salmon was served was beautifully done, and the cream sauce had just enough spice. The caramelization on the salmon was perfect, and it was thick enough to have been a pork chop! Our server was an absolute delight! My husband had pistachio gelato as a dessert and absolutely loved it !

Rapid City

About the restaurant

We’ve always believed that dining should be a social occasion, a time when friends, family, and coworkers can enjoy great conversation over a great meal.

We believe in supporting our local artisans and staying connected to our Black Hills community. At a time when the area is growing and expanding, we are striving to keep the flavor of the region alive.

Inspired by the history of this area, both the aesthetics of the building and the diversity of the menu are true to our local roots, something no nation-wide franchise can duplicate. Certainly, there are other steakhouses out there, but none like ours.

From the first design to the actual construction, we have focused on creating a balance between upscale dining and a casual atmosphere-crafting a chic steakhouse where the kids are welcome too.

The rest is easy-buy the very best meat possible and prepare it correctly.

For the cost I feel the salmon could have been a little more fresh. Everything was really good just a little costly for quality

Toby's service was amazing. This is the third time my husband and I have ate at Snitches and we have never been disappointed. The wine selection was perfect. The food was superior. I ordered the petite tenderloin and the mushroom mix, and my husband order the Prime Rib with the mushroom mix. We will definitely be back.
