About Rain Uptown and reviews
Rain Uptown, established by the Soltani family & Chef Pierre Gabelli, specializes in fine dining cuisine heavily influenced by northern Italia. From house made pastas and hand cut dry aged beef, to seafood flown in three times a week, we take steps to insure only the freshest and highest quality products are served.
Chef Pierre’s culinary education began in Switzerland. His 20 years of experience have allowed him to own and operate restaurants throughout Europe, Hawaii and Washington. Now he brings his talent to Lubbock, Texas with discriminating senses for only the most exquisite dishes.
The dining room ambiance is complemented by candle-lit tables and offers a wait staff educated in the fine dining experience. We offer only unique and highly rated wines which comprise our extensive and diverse wine list, with an atmosphere enhanced by eclectic live music. Our lounge specializes in handcrafted martinis, and has a staff with over 30 years of experience in mixology.
Our authentic dining experience is sure to be memorable.

Great food but poor service. Waiter didn’t check on us all night. Horribly understaffed. We would have stayed and had another cocktail but no one came. Had to ask for a to go box twice and the check.

This is a small and friendly Italian restaurant. We love the food. We ordered the escargot which had a luscious garlic butter herb sauce and the texture was perfect. My cioppino was rich, flavorful and full of seafood. In the past I've asked them to...
