    Love the Christmas decorations! The lemon drop martini was excellent. I had the beet salad, probably one of the best I have ever had and I had the rigatoni, it was delicious. Their red sauce is delicious. My dad had a glass of red wine, which he loved and he had chicken parm, it was excellent. Big portions!

    Always an amazing meal at Rizzos. We had Karina as our server both times we have busted and the service is amazing. Service is warm and relaxed and she remembered us visiting the first time and we were able to reconnect and catch up again. Can not wait to get back….the food is always amazing.

The menu was extensive with many great choices. The food and drinks were terrific. The wait staff was very friendly and attentive. Overall it was a memorable experience. Two thumbs up.

    This dinner was perfect start to finish. From the host, to the server, to the bartender, to the man going table to table asking how our meals were. The view is amazing (hint....go around 7:30pm to get a front row seat to the firework show on the falls). Our waitress (Michelle I think) was knowledgeable, friendly and so pleasant. We will be back in the very near future for sure. Thanks for making our 27th anniversary amazing.

    First time dining at this restaurant. Arrived early and was seated immediately on a very busy evening. Hostess was beyond friendly and pleasant. Difficult to see the menu based on lighting. Was brought an adjustable table lamp. That was an amazing first anywhere. Our server, Victoria, had a top notch command of the entire menu easily answering questions and making relevant recommendations. Amazingly professional and friendly young woman. Food was outstanding from cocktails, to apps, to entrees, to desserts. Everything perfectly prepared and brought to the table at the proper temperature. Lovely presentations. Service was impeccable throughout. Menu is pricey, but you absolutely get what you pay for. I will definitely recommend to others and return again.
