What a very special lunch we had today at Risibisi! We were a party of nine and were treated so well with quick drinks .. giant seafood appetizers… fresh salads and pastas. Our guests were from France and enjoyed the slow meal. Nice work gentlemen and we will be back soon!

The service was friendly and fast, and the place is nice and pleasant. However, the food needs more attention. I ordered a linguine for my meal, but the pasta was overcooked and broken into very small pieces, to the point that it was hard to catch it with a fork. Overall, the restaurant has potential, but the food quality could be improved.

I emailed the manager a few weeks ago asking about gluten free options and protocols (boiling gf pasta in separate water, cross contamination). They seemed very aware and knowledgeable, citing “many gluten free options.” Unfortunately, when I got to the restaurant, the server seemed annoyed when I asked. He said the only option for me was the gluten free pasta, so I asked which sauces are gluten free and he seemed confused. When I gave up trying to explain that sauces sometimes contain thickening agents, I ordered the most boring option. I ate a few bites and didn’t feel very good.

We have been dining here for years and consistently it is the best Italian food around! We started with cocktails and split the special salad (spinach with persimmons, hazelnuts, pomegranate and balsamic — oof!) then my date had the vongole with an abundance of clams while I had the risotto special with seared scallops (like butter), spinach and mushrooms. Each bite was perfection and so ample we took half home for another redux of the deliciousness.

Father's Day visit so not sure it excuses the issues with getting seated. We had reservations and several parties were kept waiting to be seated, for no apparent reason. Once seated, things were better although drinks were slow. The Calamari starter was good, not too greasy, but dips didn't seem to go. The bruschetta was pretty good with delicious balsamic reduction. The bread came presoaked in olive oil which was a little unusual. Filet mignon was excellent as was the pesto fettuccine. The 2 gnocchi dishes, mushroom and wild boar, were disappointing, the sauce was under seasoned, hardly any mushrooms and the wild boar tasted like beef. Service staff were friendly but hard to get hold of. Overall ok food, probably won't go back.

The food was amazing. It was a little loud, but the restaurant was full at the time.

The restaurants decor is absolutely beautiful and the food was phenomenal. We had focaccia with olives, a Caesar salad, risotto with scallops and a squash, ravioli dish The server recommended a perfect wine. Every moment of this experience was enjoyed to the fullest.
Very good food. Fresh pasta. My kids love this place as well.

Scrumptious. Make a reservation just in case because it is small and fills up quick. I went there with my girlfriend and fortunately we got there early because it filled up about 15 minutes after we sat down. Excellent food and service in a cozy and intimate setting.

We thought we would enjoy an Italian restaurant with a very nice decor based on the reviews and a person we met in front of the restaurant who recommended it to us. But what a disappointment in terms of the cuisine...they were probably frozen products with very bland flavors and prices worthy of a good restaurant! In the end a salty addition with little flavor in the mouth...We do not recommend.

Had a great time on a whim at Risibisi. The food was great, bordering amazing. Atmosphere was nice. Not the most attentive staff on the outside patio, but attentive enough, staff was very friendly. Definitely a good spot that I will revisit.
