    Upon walking in, the restaurant is very nice and the fireplace is beautiful. It was very nicely decorated but let’s talk about the food. Order oysters and we did not like them the taste was add, I wouldn’t order them again. The calamari was good the portion was on the smaller size however they were priced accordingly. We also order the lobster roll with was good but I won’t say it was amazing. All of the food came out super fast, the appetizers came out with our drinks and 10 minutes later our entrails were out. We were literally at the restaurant for not even 40 minutes. We drove all the way from NJ because of the great reviews.

    My wife and I had dinner at Rizzuto's late Sunday afternoon and the food and service was very good. The problem was even though the fireplace in the main dining room was blazing and the pizza oven was on full, we were cold. Granted it was a cold afternoon with a temperature in the 20's it was uncomfortable. We asked to be seated closer to the fireplace but were advised that they were unavailable even though there were only 2 other tables occupied in the whole dining room. Some of the waiters were wearing padded vests to keep warm. We had to leave before dessert.

    Great waiters! A little noisy because of a baby shower going on in the main dining room.

    I had not been in years so we decided to try with the family. Bottom line is that it’s overpriced for food that was just ok. There are plenty better places in the area.

    Had a great server who ordered our food promptly. We had a six year old who was very impatient. Great family restaurant which is a good value. Parking is somewhat difficult.

    We sat outside in an igloo. Like a private dining room. It was cold outside, but warm in the igloo. Food, service, and value we're all excellent - as always. But sitting outside fixed the one gripe we had always had - too noisy. Sitting in the igloo made it perfect!

    I always love this restaurant . The choice is excellent and everything is first rate. Dining in the outside pods is so private and comfortable. I would suggest this to anyone looking for a lovely dining experience, either lunch on weekends or dinner.
