Who is Rialto Cinemas?
Since January 2000, we've been "Bringing the Best Films in the World to Sonoma County" to Rialto Cinemas Lakeside--Santa Rosa's premiere movie theatre for the best independent, foreign and speciality films from around the world. Readers of the North Bay Bohemian have voted us Sonoma County's Best Movie Theatre for seven consecutive years.
Now we're bringing our brand of independent, customer friendly experience to Berkeley's Elmwood Theatre. We'll feature a diverse mix of films including the best quality films from Hollywood and a diverse array of independent and foreign films from around the world.
We have a genuine interest in working with community groups and non-profit organizations to present events that bring new customers to the theatre and to the neighborhood. Plus, we have a proven track record of hands-on involvement and dedication to long-term success.
Join us as we raise the curtain on Rialto Cinemas Elmwood--Creating Berkeley's Best Neighborhood Movie Theatre.

I love this theatre! Teh screening rooms are tiny - maybe 60-75 seats? Makes for a very different movie experience, and it's enjoyable because you're really in there with the audience.
This theatre is close to lots of good places to catch a bite before or after the show - try Espresso Roma next door, or Manupuku across the street.
