Rizzi's Italian Restaurant

Best Italian food in Peoria

Never been here before until this week... I had fetacuni alfredo w chicken. Very good. We especially loved the oil on the table for bread-dipping. What kind of oil was that??? Great flavor.
Cesar salad was more peppery than what im used to, but was good.
Very nice waitress. Small restaurant. Kind of quaint. Nice! Here's a pic of one course.

Great atmosphere, great staff, and even better food.

Had lasagna, gnocchi soup, and fried mozzarella. All solid and well prepared. Definitely will go back. Reservations are a good idea.

Food was just ok. They were busy, but service was not good. Got there at 510 and finally left at 730. Had to flag down server any time we needed something.

We go here often as it is my daughter‘s favorite place for a Caesar salad ( even tried an anchovy). Entrées never disappoint. They do not take reservations and there is not much of a waiting area. You either have to stop by to leave your name in or wait at the bar or be lucky & get an open table! Recently tried the eggplant appetizer for my meal & really liked it.

Loved our visit here a couple of weeks ago! The food was extremely well-prepared and very tasty. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and was and to offer some suggestions and even a substitution that worked out well for us.

We especially appreciated the atmosphere. A pet peeve of mine is going to an upscale restaurant and hearing pop songs playing as the background music. Rizzi's was playing some classy music that fit perfectly with the ambiance of the place.

My wife ordered the chicken Alfredo, which was without a doubt the best we've ever had. I had the special of the day and can't remember everything that was in it, but I do remember that the white wine and garlic cream sauce was excellent.

I personally prefer smaller portions of really excellent food over a massive plate of mediocre offerings. Rizzi's did indeed serve us excellent food, but they didn't skimp on the portion sizes. We each had enough leftovers to take home for lunch the next day.

My wife ordered tomato cream soup with her meal, which tasted great. I got the side salad, which was all right, but probably the weakest part of the meal. The lettuce assortment was nice, but I'd have been glad to pay an extra dollar or two for some tomato, a couple olives, some red onion, and more than the one slice of cucumber that was included.

We wrapped up with tiramisu, which was a VERY close second to our favorite (although it was a larger portion here).

Overall we've definitely found a new place to go in the area. Five stars easily deserved!

I recommend the garlic bread which is nice and crispy as well as the grilled Brussels sprouts.
