Rizzi's is delicious. Good old school Italian food. The servers are super friendly and helpful. I come to Peoria for business often and this restaurant will certainly be in the standard rotation.

The service is exceptional and the food is incredible. Hands down the best calamari I've ever had and the lobster ravioli is to die for.

First time to Rizzi's and it was great! Excellent service and food was delicious. Portions are huge so we had plenty to take home. A little tight with the tables but still comfortable. We will definitely be returning!

I would normally give 5 out of 5 stars for everything. I ate at Rizzi's last Saturday (1/27/24) and was disappointed for the first time. I have eaten here many times and love the place, the food, the atmosphere. It's great. I usually order the Osso Bucco because it is literally the best........falls off the bone and melts in your mouth. I had been craving it for over 6 months and finally went to have what I had been craving. This time the Osso Bucco was not falling off the bone. A knife and fork were both needed to eat it. Usually a fork will suffice. In hind sight I should have sent it back. My fault. The risotto was delicious. I did mention it to my waitress afterwards. Apparently she didn't mention it to any manager as I was surprised that no one came by to offer an apology. She didn't seem fazed by it. In fact she was incredibly overtaxed that evening with her tables. I've done the work and can certainly understand this, but anytime I had any negative feedback about anything, I would run it by a manager or owner to allow them to do some micromanaging of the problem. I will definitely go back. I'm going to guess this was a one-time thing and that the dish just hadn't been cooked slowly to get it to that melt in your mouth stage. Again, it was my fault for not sending it back or asking for another option. It's a shame when you consider the cost of the dish.....again, which I'm not complaining about. It's worth every penny when it's done right.

Both dining in and carry out are good options with this place. Consistently good!
We went on a very bustling Friday evening. Probably not the best time to go as the staff are run off their feet. But it was fun. They they helped us move tables so we could use a high chair for our child. The food was very hit and miss. The bruschetta was awesome, the mussels were dry and obviously cooked in advance, with a very thick cloying sauce (extremely disappointing). The fettuccine Alfredo was actually good, and the salad and soup we got were perfect. My lasagna was very dry and the bolognese sauce wasn't rich or juicy, making my dish very dry. The driest lasagna. And when I mentioned this to the server, she kind of shrugged it off. They were busy, I get it. The tiramisu we got to go might be some of the best tiramisu I have ever had, but the cannoli was awful. I think we would go back, as the quality of the ingredients was definitely good, but maybe ask more questions before ordering.
