    My wife and i were celebrating our 3 year anniversary at this restaurant. We had a great time. The food was excellent as always and the staff was very friendly. Andrea hands down was one of the best waitress I’ve had in a long time. We even had the great experience of meeting the owner himself. This has become one of my family’s favorite restaurants. We drive and hour and 15 mins just to dine at this establishment and whenever we visit Connecticut we will be sure to stop by Rizzuto’s

    We had a wonderful meal in the outdoor igloo!! It was very private and toasty warm!! It would have been prettier if we had gone during the evening to really appreciate the lighting inside the dome. The food was delicious and our server was a delight!! We will definitely be back!!

    The food was excellent and the igloos are so cute, but it was really cold. The heaters didn’t work properly and it made the food seem cold too. Though, we’re definitely coming back in warm weather!

    Stopped for a fast lunch. We ordered sausage/meatball pizza. The food was prepared quickly and it was HOT (something missing at a lot of restaurants). Most importantly, the food was very good. The sausage half was actually outstanding. It was moist and flavorful not dried out and chewy like I often get. Waitstaff was friendly and efficient. What's not to like!!

    If you still refuse to throw complete caution to the wind as Covid continues to linger there is no better option than the igloos at Rizzoto’s. Very cozy and private. Our service people were all wonderful and the food hit the spot.

    Service appeared a bit slow but waiter was attentive and available. Food was very good but wanted to order a steak. Originally listed on website for $38 but the current menu priced it at $55. so I passed on that. All in all a positive experience.

    Being picky here. Soup was not hot enough. Had to send back. Pizza order did not come out as we asked for and that server sent to the kitchen. Had to send back. Brought out a beer bottle and had to ask for a glass for it. Otherwise service friendly. Fireplace nice. Very strong cleaning odor from restroom.

    From the amazing cocktail menu through the proper crab cake appetizer and the entrees (a pizza and a pasta) then the flourless chocolate cake - our meal was perfection! Our server Olivia was so much fun! We ate in the bar. This was our first time to Rizzuto's and it won't be our last. In fact, on our way out we booked Valentines Dinner reservations in the fun "Igloos" set up for outdoor dining.

    The staff was so helpful, courteous and warm. We arrived early with my mom and her sister for the 90th birthday dinner. The host set up our igloo early so we didn’t wait. The rest of the dinner was paced and served perfectly. The server topped it off with a birthday dessert with a candle!!! We were there for almost 2 hours and the time flew by!!

    Reserved an igloo for my daughter’s birthday dinner. Setting was adorable and igloo was warm, jackets were not necessary. Food was delivered quicker than expected and was delicious. We ordered chicken parmigiana, pasta bolognese, cheese pizza and veggie pizza. Portions were so large, we will all eat twice. Desserts of salted caramel gelato (with birthday candle inserted), chocolate ring ding, brûlée, and worms and dirt (pudding with gummy worm) were excellent. Highly recommend and we will be back again.
