    Strangely fell short. The food didn’t have the refined and complex flavors for this caliber of establishment. I’m not upset. I suppose it’s similar to the failures of a highly-anticipated movie that has the right director, funding, screenplay, and actors, but somehow does not dazzled and entertain the way one would expect.

    We had a great experience; from the service, food, and atmosphere were just what we were looking for to catch up with a good friend. I recommend Rizzuto’s every chance I get 10 out of 10.

    I have eaten here before but it’s been a little while. Came here for lunch on a Sunday with our daughter’s in laws . The food was very good and plentiful and we had a variation of menu choices from brunch food to sandwiches and a lobster roll . The wait staff was very friendly and attentive too . I am hosting a baby shower at Rizzutos next month and while we were there having lunch there was a baby shower happening. Lindsay Rizzuto let us take a peak in the room and it looked like a perfect gathering . She also answered any questions i had about my upcoming event . I’m excited to host my daughter’s shower at Rizzutos because I'm sure it’s going to be great.

    Service was slow and not attentive. Didn’t have candles for birthday and waited a long time for service. But service was good otherwise. Marsala sauce was pure butter, very heavy. Kids were disappointed with only 2 gummy worms in the dessert. And prices have gone up way too much over the years.
