If you are in the mood for light Italian flare, this is the place to make your 'go-to.' Their mushroom ravioli is outstanding. Good-sized servings are offered. Inviting bar and outdoor patio. An entertaining but low-key DJ will entertain you at specified times. Waite's service is excellent. There is plenty of free parking. Reservations are highly recommended for dinner. Oh, they have daily lunch specials worth checking out. I would rate them a 9 out of 10. SORRY ABOUT TITLE NAME ON TOP ERROR OF REVIEW. I COULD NOT EDIT. THE CORRECT NAME IS RENZO'S.

A pleasant dining experience and very friendly service. I went to Rizzo's Italian Restaurant with a group of friends. We arrived about 15 minutes before the listed opening time. We were pleasantly surprised when the staff opened about 10 minutes early and immediately accommodated our group by rearranging tables and chairs to seat us all together as a group. The server was very friendly and the food arrived quickly. I ordered the Veal Parmigiano lunch special which included the veal, a pasta and a small salad. All of the food was well prepared and tasty. The only issue I had was some gristle in a few bites of the veal. Our group enjoyed the meal and plan to return.

We started with a very good toasted ravioli that came with meat sauce. I also had Rizzo salad, and unfortunately, it was not very flavorful. It just seemed like a light oil poured over lettuce with Provel and a few other ingredients. Upside the butter is soft and spreadable !!!! Not cold and hard. But the bread does not come to the table warm. Monica had a delicious chicken fettuccini and I had an awesome chicken Rizzo. We had cannoli for dessert and it did not disappoint!! The service did a wonderful job and was attentive and courteous.

Food was really good. Service was awesome until it was time to pay for the bill then we waited a long time and had to flag our waitress down. She was super friendly though so it didn't bother us to much.

It was a great authentic Italy experience. Really enjoyed the dim lighting and atmosphere of the place. Food was fantastic. Amazing service. I extremely recommend the tiramisu for dessert for only 6 dollars. The tiramisu was probably the best dessert I have ever tasted.
