I didn't eat ss they only had a very limited menu but the music and people were great. I only gave it a 4 because I bought a beer and it was expired and tasted it. I had a great time though listening to Hit n Run.

If I could leave zero stars I would! Just went there for Thanksgiving Buffet and it was awful. We booked based on our past experiences there which had good and hot food. However, this was the complete opposite of what we expected. They had time slots up until 4pm. Unfortunately we picked 4pm, it was like being punished for picking a later time slot, the food was picked over and cold when i first got there. It wasn’t until my sister complained and our waitress, not even the manager addressed us saying oh there’s a guy who should be doing that, he has plenty of fresh trays to put out. He barely replenished anything and to top it off the dessert table was messy and had pastries that looked like they sat there ALL day!They also charged a 20% service fee, for what I have no clue, our waitress never really came by and they have you get your own drinks! Would never recommend this place to anyone!

I booked this venue for a bridal shower, expecting a joyful, stress-free celebration. Instead, it was an infuriating ordeal from start to finish that left us humiliated and scrambling. The employee double-booked our reserved space, forcing us into a lesser area with zero apology or compensation. We were barred from bringing our own cake and mandated to use their kitchen. Then they told us we had to pay a delivery fee to the new location. After arguing, they finally agreed to transfer it without the fee.

I spoke directly with Kelly, their cake decorator, detailing the exact design we wanted and was promised confirmation. It never arrived. When we called back, we learned Kelly no longer worked there. There was no warning and no follow-through, so I had to re-explain everything from scratch. When the cake finally showed up, it was handled without gloves, looked nothing like what I had requested, and the delivery person jammed their finger straight through the front while setting it down, leaving a glaring gouge in plain sight. Not a single “sorry.”

At billing, despite our receipt proving the $1,100+ initial payment was paid, the staff claimed the manager was out, the payment was not in their system, and asked us to leave our credit card number to be charged “in a few days.” We refused and demanded immediate resolution. It took endless hassle to finally sort out, but nothing was done about the mangled, incorrect cake.

This place is a disorganized, unprofessional disaster with zero regard for customers. Do not host your event here. You will regret it.

Excellent food, very good pasta, sauce and meatballs. That is what was served at our banquet. This is not a straight up restaurant, but rather a banquet hall. The service is outstanding.

Had a after baptist get together food was terrible dried out overcooked playground falling apart kids couldn't play on only 2 rooms inside open other 2 were a storage room and other ceiling falling apart onto floor not to mention extra leftover food was not given to take home a mandatory tip of 300.00 was charged and bill was crazy expensive definitely not worth it

The Banchetti team are stellar! Bachetti by Rizzo catered my daughter's wedding, offsite, at our venue July 2025 and everything was perfect. We are so impressed.
Food: Absolutely delicious
Staff: Attentive, professional, delightful
Operations: So smooth. Everything was set up wonderfully, details were attended to, adjustments were made promptly, and the clean up was spotless.
We recommend Banchetti by Rizzo highly and thank the staff, and especially Mike, from our hearts.
