Rizzis Restaurant

Not impressed. We were seated quickly but the waiter was new and not very attentive. We waited for almost 30 mi minutes to get an appetizer... luckily another waitress helped us while our original waiter was to busy to. The food was okay. Don't think we'll be going back. Excuse me since you don't have "waiters" your servers! I was just at your establishment a few hours ago! Smh just accept the fact not everyone will be satisfied. Like I said I'll never go back.

Went to Rizzis for the first time to celebrate two birthdays and a belated Mother's Day on May 14, 2022. The experience left a lot to be desired as did the food and drink. Unfortunately, we will not be back. From the start the waitress took 20 minutes or more to even come to our table to greet us and take a drink order. Then another at least 20-30 minutes for her to return, frazzled and told us she was new to take our dinner order which we hadn't gotten our drinks yet. The bartender brought them over as she was asking for our order. She asked us if we knew the specials..um how would we know you haven't told us yet? Our two drinks were horrible, one moscow mule was watered down, could not even taste any alcohol and the coke was a glass chock full of ice and a tad of coke. You could tell by looking at it it was watered down...tasted awful and no carbonation. We get our food and let me tell you, none of the meals could compensate for the awful experience so far. Veal Parm, the veal was so tough it couldn't be cut with the butter knife, and no steak knife was provided, the sauce was thin and watery as the plate had a small puddle of water in it. The Chicken Guida - very small chicken breast stuffed with cornbread stuffing left a lot to be desired accompanied with overcooked peapods and a side of angel hair. The Fettucini Christopher plate was drowning in mediocre alfredo sauce with small, round chunks of pale chicken and overcooked broccoli. This was my dish and I had maybe four bites. Once again took forever for the waitress to come back and clear our plates. It seems as if we had been forgotten several times throughout the evening by the waitress and it was not busy. We were charged 3 dollars more than the menu said for the Veal Parmigiana and also charged for salad dressings. Our drinks, two club sodas, two watered down cokes and one Moscow mule came to $19 alone! The total bill was over a hundred dollars before tip!! Huge disappointment all around.

My absolute favorite place in Rochester. We got lucky enough to come on a night with vodka rose as the special, which is amazing! Will always recommend people go here. Best food and even better staff.

We like Rizzi's to begin with because we had the most amazing Rigatoni Bolognese there back before covid happened. And we haven't been there since. Well, tonight was my honey's birthday so I took him to Rizzi's. He was really looking forward to the Rigatoni Bolognese, but I decided to get something different. I ordered the Veal French and omigosh it was soooo delicious. It melted in my mouth and the sauce was amazing. For dessert we ordered the Chocolate Molton lava cake with decaf coffee and it all was wonderful. We had a great time and have decided to bring his brother and family there when they come into town. I highly recommend this place. Oh, and btw, you need to call ahead for a reservation.
