Riccardo and Marybeth welcome you to their 3rd property, Maribella Ristorante. Opening R Wine Bar & Kitchen in 2018, Vespa Catering in 2021, and Brix Wine Bar in 2022, they have created a culture of hospitality for guests who feel like family. Riccardo was born in Florence, Italy and moved to Boston when he was 5-years-old. He stayed in the Boston area for college and attended Tufts University. Marybeth, born and raised in Sioux Falls, SD, moved to Boston to be a nanny and went to Somerville School of Nursing. The two met in Medford, MA, dated and became engaged in Oak Bluffs on Martha’s Vineyard in 1996. Relocating to Sioux Falls, SD in 1999, Riccardo got his start in the restaurant business, managing several restaurants and a country club, as well as doing sales and marketing as a wine representative and for a local craft brewery. Marybeth worked as an RN for years, became an independent sales consultant, and was a stay-at-home mother to their three boys, Dante, Berent (fiancee Molli,) and Jaxon. Together, Riccardo and Marybeth bring the best parts of hospitality to life in their restaurants, for both their staff and guests. They, their family, and their hand-picked team look forward to serving you.
