Tapa Rio

Grwat Service and great food. Our waitress was terrific and helpful. Our first time there and she walked us through the menu. It is a small plate restaurant and she helped us. The food was great and the price was good as well. Try out this place.

The menu has incredible delights written out in imperfect English. Even the salad was amazing somehow. The small plates, the main entrees - all were perfect. Cannot recommend this enough. And we haven’t even talked about the patio overlooking the Rappahannock River...

Wonderful memorable experience. If you're looking for a new interesting date night, girls brunch, or casual dinner, this is your place! The boyfriend and I were looking for a new restaurant in Fredericksburg that we hadn't tried yet, and this little hole in the wall on Sophia street came into view. We tried various items on the menu and the wait staff was very friendly and informative about the cuisine and dining style they offered. The plates come out when ready so you're eating the freshest food and never in a lull waiting for your meal. Everything was truly superb, along with a wonderful view and relaxing atmosphere. I would highly recommend the Spiedini for starters! One of our new favorite places in the Downtown Fredericksburg area.

The roasted veggies were awesome. This is the theme - roasted veggies with sipping sauces AND bread. Lamb, etc., All awesome. I WILL RETURN😀

i really really enjoyed my visit here. i was hesitant based on my weak experiences of don macho and tru love, but it was a friends birthday. the style of service encourages 'sharing' and 'conversation' which i think it does beautifully. hostess recommended burrata, it was amazing, maybe the best pizza in the area. server was amazing, she recommended the paella de marisco, the seafood seemed top notch, the rice seemed like it could have used a bit more flavor; order it traditional. also ordered the charcuterie platter, spiedini, albondigas, cavoiflore and cavoletti; please with all with the exception that there seemed to be a burnt bacon flavor on one of the two last dishes. i sincerely cannot wait for the weather to turn; that outside are looks incredibly delightful!

Great staff.portions fit the vibe. Overall taste and experience was geerrreat

Very good, went on a Wednesday evening, but make no mistake that they were still on their strong game. We got a charcuterie platter (half price on Wednesdays), it was well presented and very tasty. In addition, we got a few flat bread pizzas and a paella, all had their own strong points, nothing was bad in the slightest. The atmosphere is sorta unfair to judge for a Wednesday night, but I guess I can say the restaurant was clean and almost sparkling, the wait staff was phenomenal and you wanted for nothing, it was pretty much great, start to finish.This is a Tapas restaurant, if you are going to have a sit down meal, need not apply, but if you want to get a small tasting of clever and delicious Iberian cuisine go for it, you can get some ridiculous flavors for pretty darn cheap.Best plan, go with a few friends and order a bit of everything, you cant go wrong.

Another great meal! My go to when I visit the area! Gabbi our server was delightful! Thnx!💯

Great atmosphere with excellent friendly staff. The food was absolutely delicious.

Fantastic! Stopped in due to recommendations from another local. The service was great, decor open and super nice, and, the cherry on top, was the tapas! We could not get enough!! The food was priced right and ingredients fresh! We cant wait to set on the patio overlooking the river with some wine at happy hour. I really hope this restaurant is here for good!

Amazing gem!! It's hard when you want them to remain a hidden gem but you want them to be discovered so they stick around. We enjoyed a perfect afternoon here. Treated to enjoying absolutely delicious dishes we've never tried before, overlooking the beautiful river, attentive service, and gorgeous area for the kids to run around and entertain themselves. Highly recommend. I want to come here at least twice a season...once during the day and once at night, both on the patio. Unbeatable. Please give it a try.

Best Tapas in Fredericksburg, Va. The food is amazing. Great atmosphere, service and very reasonable prices as well.

Go here!!! 1st, I am not really a "pizza person" but this goes beyond! The food is divine and fresh. Your mouth will thank you. 2ndly, the view of the river is so relaxing This is a pretty place to dine with friends, lovers...maybe even an enemy or two! ( you do you)There is also local art on every wall! And that one week in Virginia where you are comfortable eating outside? Yep, they have a patio overlooking the river! Beautiful!So now, your eyes will be thanking you.

This is a real hidden gem in Fredericksburg! The food is absolutely fabulous! I ordered the meatball small plate and my friend ordered a flatbread pizza. The meatball plate came with three meatballs and was perfect for lunch and my friend took home most of her pizza because the portion could have easily fed two. The ambiance is wonderful. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Really a very nice experience. Already planning my return trip!!

Cute restaurant. No over-bearing plates. Nice and small. Super friendly staff.
