"Food is good, consistent. It is one of few restaurants where we can go with kids & everyone is happy. Without kids bar is always busy & can go for drink after work. Unlike other places they have no problem altering a dish if u like it spicier or not. Wait-staff very friendly, helpful & some have been there quite a while which I find nice."

"We celebrated a pleasant Mother's Day at this restaurant. We were seated within a few minutes of our scheduled time. Service was a bit slow because of the numerous diners. Needed to follow up with the staff to get my $15 Mother's Day gift card, which will get used next time."

"The restaurant is very nice. The food was pretty good. My mother in law had the ravioli which were divine.
I had the veal Parm and the veal was tough though. My daughter had a chicken dish and she said it was average.
The goat cheese appetizer was divine and the desserts out of this world. Very nice atmosphere and would go again.

"We were meeting friends and picked Rizzuto's because it was a half-way point for us.
The restaurant is open, beautifully designed (the fireplace is lovely). The service was great, food was very good and we would definitely recommend it.

"Go with a large crowd who talks a lot and loves good food, well prepared. It's very noisy and busy. Book after 8:30 and be sure that you sit in main dining room or in bar room. Weekends its a singles scene all evening long and a family dining scene early in the evening."
