Restaurant is CLOSED however Open Table allowed us to make a reservation! We were traveling from out of town with family for a special event and were stuck with no reservation on a busy Sat evening. We will no longer use Open Table, extremely disappointed.

Open table allowed me to make a reservation for this restuarant which is CLOSED I wasted time and energy getting there and parking fortunately I found an excellent restuarant near by that could take my party if 6 I wasnt the only person duped. We sat for a moment deciding what to do and another party of 5 showed up and were as surprised as us they were closed on a saturday night Bottom line DONT go here

The restaurant is no longer in business but it allowed us to make a reservation in this site , other people were also there who made a reservation only to find the restaurant shut down .

Excellent food... Bucatini carbonara was very good...the scallops were fantastic with gnocchi and Brussels sprouts. Example of attention to detail...the gnocchi were sized to match the bay scallops so they were almost indistinguishable. Service was attentive and helpful.... Food paced to our speed...

the outdoor seating in the greenhouse is gorgeous and even has space heaters for when you get cold. the food is amazing. i had the seasonal butternut squash soup and it was delicious. everything about our meals was perfect and our waiter was super nice and made our night special.

Service was excellent. Staff was more than accommodating. Three of four meals were good and one (the fish special) was barely edible. Fish is not supposed to smell like fish and this smelled of something left out in the sun. The small salad was large enough for three to share but the salmon entree was small. We have had many a good meals here so we will return but id hesitate to recommend this to a new comer since it may fall short.

Stopped in for dinner with my dh. They started us with yummy warm bread and flavored oil. My dh ordered chicken parmigiana, which he greatly enjoyed, and I had salmon (baked in their stone oven, yum!). Our waitress was wonderful.

We went to Rizzuto's for my birthday, and it was wonderful! We used one of the outdoor greenhouses and appreciated that it had a heating lamp as it was a bit chillier of an evening for April. Our waitstaff was Breanna and Thomas (he was trading/shadowing), and both were great and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed!

We waited a while for our servers first appearance. Once we ordered service was better, we ordered food with drinks to avoid further delay. Our meals were delicious and the portions were plentiful.

We have had many wonderful meals in the past at Rizzuto's. Perhaps it was an ‘off' night last evening. We dined put for a special occasion (my 40th!), which my husband wrote in on the reservation. Nothing seemed special about this dinner. Our server was quiet & sweet but seemed annoyed with us, at once point when we asked for the gelato that came with our kids meals (we thought they would automatically come out but we had to ask), she crumpled up our bill and threw it on the table? (Very awkward). Stark contrast to when we went to Millwrights for a special birthday dinner and we're treated like royalty from the moment we walked in. The food was not as I remember, everything was very bland and unseasoned.

We were very excited to try this restaurant and booked a reservation on this app. When we showed up for the reservation, the restaurant was CLOSED. It was very disappointing as we even called before showing up and there was no voicemail prompt notifying us of the change in hours.

Had such a delicious dinner here! I had cavatelli pasta with truffle oil. It was so delicious! It's gluten free, but you would never know it. I don't have a gluten sensitivity, I just loved the way the dish sounded and had to try it, and I'm very happy that I did! My friend had one of their wood-fired pizzas. Had garlic bread for the appetizer. Had a scoop of their fig and a scoop of their Nutella Gelato for dessert, great flavors! Everything was wonderful! Great restaurant to visit in Blue Back Square.

I'm gonna start off by saying the dolce e piccante pizza was to die for!! I loved the sweet honey flavor and spicy flavor blend for this pizza, it was so tasty and the texture of the pizza was just right. We ordered the linguini which was a seafood type pasta and if you're a seafood lover like me, you'd love it just as much as I did. Definitely had to add some Parmesan to give it that oomph. Alongside an amazing dinner, we had espresso martinis which were probably one of the best ones I've ever had!!! I would definitely come back here!!

My boyfriend and I were looking for a lunch date, so we stopped by Rizzuto's. We were so happy that we were able to get into one of their heated greenhouses! Though simple, it's nice to feel like you're outdoors while still in comfort. We ordered the crab cake to share, which we had before on a previous visit, and it was just as good as we remembered. That lemon caper aioli is something else! We also enjoyed the antipasto, especially the Camembert cheese. The dolce e piccante pizza definitely had some heat, but it was really tasty. Loved the thick layer of cheese with the meats underneath, and the crust was great. The service was quick and attentive, and they really have a great cocktail menu that we want to explore on our next visit.

This was our first time here, and we will definitely be back. The service provided by Stephanie was above and beyond, and we would want to be seated in her area again. The food was absolutely delicious, and on point; well seasoned, and the temperatures just right; not to mention the portion sizes!! We had enough (and then some) for lunch the next day. Prices were just right for the quality. The noise level is a little high, but the service and food make up for it. Very nice experience, and well worth the visit.
