It was okay. Nothing to write home about. If you’re looking for something similar but better I’d recommend Oregano’s Pizza Bistro. Cooler vibe and better food!

I was genuinely excited to try this restaurant after reading the reviews, so the experience was disappointing. I’m honestly surprised by the strong ratings and the wait to get in.
The ambiance was pleasant, which is the reason for the one star, but the food did not meet expectations. Even the glass of wine I ordered was underwhelming.
From what we were told, much of the food arrives pre-marinated, and several sauces contain MSG.
This may work for diners who enjoy, heavily seasoned/sodium content, convenience-style dishes. But but diners who prefer fresh, house-made ingredients, this may not align with expectations. It also appears that soy is widely used in preparation, which could present challenges for anyone with a soy allergy.
Not a scratch kitchen.
Zero soy free options.

Great Italian restaurant for the family. Love the endless salad which comes with dinner. Great desserts too.

I cannot recommend RigaTony’s enough. From the moment you walk in, you get that genuine, warm family-owned vibe that makes you feel instantly at home. It’s approachable and cozy—definitely not the kind of place where you feel like you need to dress up or whisper—but the food is on a completely different level.
They are serving stellar, home-cooking style Italian, but you can taste the mastery in the technique. Nothing is over-complicated; it’s just perfect execution of great ingredients. It’s that rare balance of feeling like a home-cooked meal but tasting like fine dining. If you want killer Italian food that focuses on flavor over fuss, this is the spot.

Do you love authentic Italian food? Do you love top-notch service? Do you LOOOOVE AFFORDABLE LUNCH DATES? YES!??! This is the place. Imagine OG meets Carrabas with an amazing salad (bonus for.my non-veggies - it includes meat!), incredible bread with an oil based dipping sauce & the BEST appetizers EVER!! In a crazy plot twist...this all (aside from apps) is INCLUDED with your $11.95 lunch!!! My personal fave is the Chicken Piccata, with a perfectly crusted chicken breast swimming in lemon-garlic sauce, dripping in capers, mushrooms & tomato alongside the most delicious fettuccine Alfredo in town. Period. I cannot recommend it enough! Tip well!! They all deserve it! ❤️

My wife and I met my high school buddy here for lunch last Saturday for a late birthday lunch. The food was delicious and service was excellent! A must visit for family and great place to celebrate your birthdays and anniversaries!

I just finished having lunch at RigaTony's and I'm already trying to plan my next visit. This was my first time eating here. Everything was wonderful. We were a party of four. We received a warm welcome and prompt service. I was so happy to be in a restaurant that had character - warm decor, dark wood, a red tapestry, walls adorned with old photos and artwork. A pleasant respite from so many cheerless food chains. All four of us loved the food. We each had a different entree and no one was disappointed. The meatball I ate was the best I had ever had. Our waiter was professional and friendly. Everything was exceptional. Like I said, I can't wait to return. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of the food but I fell in love with this 'Last Supper' relief that rests over an archway near the entrance.
