2008-03-30 15:55:54 Really good, casual Italian. You might want to call ahead for a reservation because it tends to get full quickly. You can always sit at the bar and have a drink if there is a wait. —DanCurran

Hidden on Merchants, but a cant miss. —MrRochester
2009-02-09 18:34:51 My wife and I tried this place on a Tuesday night. Very nice, cozy little romantic restaurant. Friendly staff, and the food was phenomenal. I had a sausage-stuffed chicken dish that was jaw-dropping. So tasty! Reasonable prices, too. We'll definitely be back again soon. —KurtSample

2009-10-12 15:03:54 I had the Pasta Guida, it would have been good if the chef didn't have such a heavy hand for salt. Perhaps he could have instead put all that extra salt in the marinara sauce (served over pasta as a side), as it was incredibly bland. It tasted like plain crushed tomatoes were poured over pasta. Please, add garlic, salt, basil, ANYTHING to give it a little character. I was not impressed with Rizzi's, do not recommed the place, and do not expect to return. —MerCDotes
2011-07-23 19:51:15 We live in the neighborhood and had been wanting to try this place for a long time and finally did. Unfortunately we were not impressed. The calamari was chewy and soggy, chicken french lacked artichokes, and steak au poivre was heavy on the peppercorns and salt. The side veggies were undercooked, almost raw. The bread and oil dip was pretty good, but not enough to make up for the rest of the food. The atmosphere is lacking and the cooking style is "old" and uninspired. We were really hoping to like it but we won't be back. —AutumnMarie
