Rizzuto’s Restaurant and Bar - West HartfordAwesome food & serviceThe food was simply awesome and very unique. The presentation was very good. The service was very good. I will be making reservations again very soon.6/14/2013 12:00:00 AMLively Atmoshpere/ Fun Food!We really enjoyed Rizutto's on Saturday night. Sharing an antipasi (spelling?) is highly recommended...makes for a fun and different type of dining experience while enjoying a cocktail. Friendly servers and good meals as well. Overall, a fun place to go!6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMHard to believe its a chain!We always enjoy coming here. Without exception, our meals have been extraordinary & service is way above average5/31/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food is always good. TheThe food is always good. The service is friendly and prompt, but not rushed.5/29/2013 12:00:00 AMSolid meal and serviceArrived promptly at 7pm Saturday evening for our 7pm ressy. Our group of 4 were immediately seated in a nice, cozy round table. ONLY negative of the night is that the table was adjacent to the FIRE HOT kitchen and associated ovens. WAY Too hot! A bit uncomfortable. We dealt. Service, app and dinner were all great.5/25/2013 12:00:00 AMRizzutos always delivers.Rizzutos always delivers. Stephanie is the best waitress, knowledgeable and efficient.5/25/2013 12:00:00 AMFood and service was superbI enjoyed my time at Rizzuto. The food was delicious and the service was terrific.5/24/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways enjoy Rizzuto's. ThisAlways enjoy Rizzuto's. This time we had a server who was less attentive than in the past, which knocks down my overall rating.5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMA mothers' day hitThe grilled swordfish was moist and the portion was huge. Mom really enjoyed her salmon. The wood oven pizza and the pasta bolognese were also hits. The vegetable antipasti was shared by four of us as an app and was plenty. The low point of the meal were the desserts. We sampled two and neither was especially good.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMMake a Meal of AppetizersWe have been to Rizzuto's several times; the food and service have been consistently good. The atmosphere is bustling with a very energetic feel to the crowd. Although somewhat noisy for Seniors, we could easily maintain a conversation. Last Friday we split a salad (surely large enough to split) and then split three appetizers. We came away well satisfied with a very nice dining experience.5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMRizzuto's an Excellent Choice!Salads and pasta dishes are excellent as are pizzas. A good wine list. Very nice spot for outdoor dining. We made two requests with our reservation and when we arrived at the restaurant, both had been reserved allowing us a choice which was a lovely surprise. Service here is always excellent and this time was no exception.5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food, drinks and serviceThe food, drinks and service were just amazing and outstanding. The evening was filled with romance and fun. Our table was family of the wedding rehersal dinner and patio socializing. While we were not part of the wedding party dinner we were able to start with our family and friends on the patio with cocktails and appetizers. We were then seated at our open table and had a great view of the chefs cooking/grilling. We as well as everyone in this group were so pleased with the presentation of food and drinks. The service was above excellent. It was a perfect night. Thank you for making us feel welcomed and allowing us to visit with our family and friends of the wedding.5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMAwesomeGreat food and service. I've been there twice now and I love it! Many gluten free options too!5/7/2013 12:00:00 AMEntrées AverageThe entrees were every good, but the salads were soggy? Must have been sitting to long in dressing.5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMA consistently great restaurant-A consistently great restaurant- for lunch or dinner. Food and service great. Great seating options whether it be at the bar, in a booth, outside on the terrace (weather permitting),tables or even for small groups in the semi private back room. Love it!4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMDelicious!A great meal as usual! We especially like the bread and tomato sauce - much more interesting than just bread and butter!4/24/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food and service. MyGreat food and service. My wife and I were there for our wedding anniversary. Only suggestion I would have for management is they should of made a special moment with dessert or something to acknowledge our anniversary. We had a great time anyway and the hostess who sat us was very considerate that she sat us in at a very romantic table, even though it was seating for six. Nice!4/23/2013 12:00:00 AMFood was just right for allFood was just right for all appetites. The guys were full and the ladies, as usual, got two meals for the price of one. The wait staff were very attentive and we got to do some people watching from our window on the street. The service was timed well...we never waited for food or drink. Good choices on the menu.4/21/2013 12:00:00 AMOr night was great. ServerOr night was great. Server frank was wonderful. Our food was delicious.

Would go back in a second and we are 45 minutes away4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMHave been to Rizzuto's manyHave been to Rizzuto's many times for lunch but this was only my 3rd time for dinner. Food and service were very good as usual. Ended up being seated in the back side of the dinning room which was nice since it was farther from the bar so it was quieter and we could all hear each other easily. Only issue was the ventilation in that part of the dinning room was not great so our clothes ended up smelling like the the wood fired grill that was nearby in the open kitchen. Overall it was a good night and while i will be back i will ask not be be seated in that area again.4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMWe both really enjoyed ourWe both really enjoyed our entrees and the service was very good.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMIt was our first time at Rizzuto'sIt was our first time at Rizzuto's the food was excellent, our server was great, food served in a timely fashion.

The food was great, we will definately be back4/1/2013 12:00:00 AMItalian aboveThis restaurant continues to grow on us. A menu from pizza to very good entrees gives a lot of range to your choices. The service has been superb the past few times we've been there. In a state where it seems like every restaurant is Italian, this one separates from the pack.3/28/2013 12:00:00 AMEverything was perfect. WouldEverything was perfect. Would highly recommend Rizzutos in the future.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMWe always have a great mealWe always have a great meal and usually go with friends. Start off with their fantastic happy hour and then to dinner. We also love their 20% off coupon that allows you use it as often as you wish until its expiration date. We will be back at least one more time before the the coupon expires at the end of April.3/22/2013 12:00:00 AMWe have been to Rizzuto'sWe have been to Rizzuto's a number of times, but our friends were first timers. They were delighted with the food and atmopshere. We will all come again. The waitstaff, Michael, was excellent and attentive. He also provided us with some great recommendations.3/22/2013 12:00:00 AMAlthough the service and ambianceAlthough the service and ambiance were very good, a restaurant is only as good as the food. My dinner, pasta and sausage, was good but hardly warm so it had been sitting and my husbands dish of clams over pasta had no flavor.3/17/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat meal served by Jose.Great meal served by Jose. Manager Mike is always welcoming and accommodating to his guests.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMWe always enjoy Rizzuto's,We always enjoy Rizzuto's, but they need an additional bartender on busy weekend nights. This affects their overall service. Two couples arrived a few minutes earlier than the third couple and the waiter came immediately to take their drink order; they said they would wait until everyone was there. The third couple arrived and it was 15 minutes before the waiter returned and an additional 15 minutes for the 3 beers and 1 bottle of wine to appear - not a complicated bar order. The food did arrive as expected; the delay seems to be with the bar which then affects the entire experience.3/15/2013 12:00:00 AMJust love this place. FoodJust love this place. Food and service are always terrific. Awesome menu. Location is great. A must to eat at.3/3/2013 12:00:00 AMA really good place....The food here is very good. The service is always great. From time to time they put out a %20 off coupon which is applied to the total bill. That makes it a home run! We go here quite a bit for good food at a reasonable price. The kitchen will also change things on the order if requested which makes it easier for the picky people...:)2/23/2013 12:00:00 AMThis place is awesome. GreatThis place is awesome. Great food. Wonderful service. Terrific prices. A must go to restaurant.2/3/2013 12:00:00 AMHave eaten at Rizzuto's manyHave eaten at Rizzuto's many times and always love it. Food is always terrific. Great quality for great prices. The service staff are beyond extraordinary - very attentive and friendly (nd they also seem to like each other as a team - you can tell). That includes the manager, Ann, who takes the time to walk around and speak with customers. And it isn't just your pat "how is everything". She really cares and takes the time to talk and listen without being intrusive to your dinner. I highly recommend this place.1/1/2013 12:00:00 AMLove this place. Try to eatLove this place. Try to eat here whenever in the area. Food is delicious and reasonably priced compared to other restaurants in the area. Service staff couldn't be more warm and attentive. The place is also very pretty inside with an open atmosphere which we like.12/2/2012 12:00:00 AM
