What to Watch for: It’s important to watch for creeping costs when you go into Rimini’s. The items are reasonably priced, but it can be difficult to only choose one gelato flavor or one menu item.

You also need to keep an eye out for seating as the restaurant is small and seating can be sparse when Rimini’s is busy.
