It was our first time at Rossutos.. the ambiance is very inviting and the food was amazing. Allona offered as an excellent service and with her great personality and knowledge she guided us to the right choices with warmth and made our experience a pleasant one! We will be back soon!
Can't say enough good things about Rizzutos! Friendly and attentive staff & servers! Great personalities. Very upbeat and professional. Atmosphere inside the cozy, well kept restaurant to outside patio to dining in one of their heated, lit up igloos is fabulous to fun! The food is always just outstanding! We will be back!!!!!!!

We dined on excellent seafood and pasta with our boys (ages 10 and 13) in an “igloo.” The igloo experience never fails to delight us all. Our server, Alana, was excellent in all respects.

Have always relied on Rizuttos as a neighborhood go-to. But “fresh” fish is $40 and above and a Bullett Rye Manhattan is $18. Canadian Club, which is better, is $19.99 a handle at Total Wine. I asked for what was in the well. Way off at $18, please. We live up the street and won’t be picking up Rizuttos “covid tab”.

Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because we waited 35 minutes before a waiter asked us if we need anything. After I went to the hostess, everything went smoothly. The igloo was warm and had a fun vibe. The apps, drinks and our main courses were all super yummy. All in all a very nice experience.
Dined for the first time in an igloo. Cool experience especially since I was with out of town guests. The service was excellent and the espresso martinis were among the best I've ever had. Food was outstanding as usual

Rizzuto's Oyster Bar & Restaurant is quaint but charming, just like its location in beautiful coastal Westport, Connecticut, the most calming town- the best free Ashwagandha adaptogen: all gorgeous seafront scenery and endless, relaxed historic charm! First things first, the very nice-guy, enthusiastic Owner told me - after I ate there 3 times in a week- he only uses the most elusive, limited jumbo lump blue crabmeat. Unlike other types of seafood, such as shrimp and salmon, crabs are expensive because they're not farmed commercially. My go-to favorite at Rizzuto's is their best Crab Cake (in Connecticut)- the delicious Bill's Crab Cake Maryland style: jumbo lump blue crabmeat and remoulade sauce! If you know, you know. No surprise but all of their whole lot of beautifully-cooked seafood and traditional Italian-centric food is fantastic: amazing robust Connecticut Lobster Rolls that rivals Red Hook Lobster Pound's version in Red Hook, Brooklyn, New York that I get every July 4th, the triumphant Lobster Cobb Salad with a HUGE amount of fresh lobster meat, exceedingly craveable Large Box of Fries with sea salt or Old Bay and Bruschetta (heirloom tomatoes, melted gorgonzola, rustic bread, basil, and extra virgin olive oil), and the fine-tasting Spaghetti Pasta Pomodoro with Mushrooms, all winners! Even their scratch-made, wood-fired personal pizzas are simply delicious! Chocolate Truffle 'Ring Ding' (chocolate cream filling, chocolate ganache, and freshly whipped cream) also was such an absolutely entertaining, delicious dessert.
Hadn't been to Rizzuto's for a few years, came with party of 3 - great experience! Food was fresh and tasty, timely brought to table, desserts were fine. Two of us had fish (swordfish, mussels) nicely done and plated, one had pasta and meatballs (biggest I've seen in a restaurant ever!). Our server Olivia was a dream.
We recently dined in one of the outdoor "igloos" at Rizutto's and it was fantastic. Our server, Alonna, was knowledgable, friendly and just the right amount of attentive. The menu was diverse enough for a gluten-free vegetarian and a meat-eater to leave full and satisfied. (As an aside: for those with nut allergies, they don't use any nuts in any of their dishes). The igloo was kept warm thanks to the heaters and full of ambiance from clever lighting. We will definitely be returning.

We were seriously disappointed by dinner at Rizzuto's and will definitely not be returning. The food was ridiculous, and had little flavor. My salad which I ordered as an appetizer and cost $11.00 arrived on a small bread plate !! I can't see this restaurant surviving for much longer as Westport clientele are much too discerning for such rubbish food.
