We had an amazing experience at Rizzuto’s! Our waiter Santino was absolutely phenomenal — attentive, friendly, and made the night even better. The food was delicious and served perfectly hot. The atmosphere was awesome, warm and inviting, and really set the tone for a great evening. And don’t skip dessert — the bread pudding is absolutely delicious! We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and will definitely be back.

Food was outstanding. Seafood manicotti, tables side fett and the stuff mushrooms were on point. I felt a tad bit like I was back in Sicily. Mostly because the waiter who was an Ace Francesco. Made it feel that way. Service was great the filet and crabmeat was excellent cooked to perfection.

Last night, I went to Rizzuto’s Ristorante and Chop House and immediately felt like I had walked onto the set of an old Hollywood gangster movie—but, like, the kind where no one gets whacked and everyone just eats really well.
The host greeted me promptly and made me feel like someone important. I’m not. I mean, my mom tells me I’m special every day, but she doesn’t count (please don’t tell her I said that).
My friend and I were fashionably early for our reservation (by a full hour—we were excited, don’t judge), so we parked ourselves at the bar and ordered some drinks. Let me paint a picture: the bar was full of suave, old-school Italian men—the kind who probably have a meatball recipe older than the U.S. Constitution. Immediately, I knew: we were about to eat GOOD.
As we sat at the bar, waiters floated by with plates of food that smelled like sin and salvation all at once. I was eyeing each table, staring at their dishes like a hungry lioness about to pounce. I was probably making diners uncomfortable, but I didn’t care—I was salivating like a rabid dog with every plate that passed me.
The two bartenders were charming and funny. I could’ve people-watched for hours. The staff’s banter, the sass, the subtle shade—I swear, this place needs a reality show. Imagine if The Sopranos married Vanderpump Rules and had a spicy little Bravo baby. “Rizzuto’s After Dark.” You heard it here first. If it gets picked up, I get a cut!
From here on out, I’m eating at the bar. It felt cozy, personable, and—let’s be real—I’m nosey and live for juicy gossip and good people-watching.
When our table was finally ready, I almost didn’t want to leave the action. But I’m glad I did, because the crab cake appetizer changed my life. I’m not even exaggerating. Most crab cakes taste like breadcrumbs held together by lies. Not here. Rizzuto’s crab cake was pure lump crab meat—golden and crisp on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside. Sent directly from the seafood gods. I can no longer order crab cakes anywhere else. They’ve ruined me in the best way possible.
My friend got the fettuccine Alfredo, which they made table-side in a cheese wheel. Because apparently, Rizzuto’s said, “Let’s make pasta sexy.” It was pasta porn- rich, creamy, and hands-down the best Alfredo I’ve ever tasted. I seriously contemplated whacking my friend on the head just to steal his plate. But as a nurse, I took an oath to do no harm, so I pushed that thought aside. I’ll just have to order it next time (and keep my morals intact).
For my entrée, I went with the Veal Parmesan. Now listen—I’ve had veal before. Usually, it’s as tough as a leather shoe and about as flavorful. But this? It was glorious. Perfectly fried with a delicate, golden crust, and so tender I got concerned. Like… how is this even legal? Are they massaging the calves? Reading them bedtime stories? Is there voodoo involved? I don’t know—and I don’t care. It was divine. I had a full Ratatouille flashback moment at the table.
Now, when it comes to red gravy, I am a tough critic (and yes, it’s gravy, NOT sauce—don’t argue with me). My grandparents were from Sicily, and every Sunday we’d gather at their house in the Irish Channel for spaghetti and meatballs. So I know real gravy. Rizzuto’s version? It was rich, savory, and beautifully balanced—not too sweet, not too bitter. It tasted like love and patience. Just like my grandma’s. She would 100% approve.
We finished with the chocolate chip gelato, which was smoother than a Frank Sinatra love song. Creamy, flavorful, and the perfect end to a perfect meal.
Rizzuto’s isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a culinary dream. I don’t know what kind of kitchen witchcraft is going on back there—black magic? Italian nonnas chained to stoves? Some kind of parmesan-powered spell? Whatever it is, it works.
10/10. Would eat again. Would move in if they let me.

We went as a large group during the Christmas season and the atmosphere was very cozy and festive. Appetizers were tasty. Lots of cocktail options. The food itself didn’t quite meet our expectations. A bit too salty and oily. Service was excellent and we had a really fun time!

my experience at this type of place should’ve been phenomenal. It was well short of it. I was by myself. I sat at the bar. I ordered a beer and a cold glass and it came promptly. After that, it went downhill. I drank my beer and waited almost 20 minutes before the bartender casually looks up and asks if I wanted another one. I looked at him and probably said yes, and the first thing out of his mouth is I don’t have any more cold glasses. It was obvious that I was drinking with cold glasses. He could’ve taken a couple wet them and put them in ice. The bartender was training, another bartender and I get it, but the bar was not busy that I could not get my drink promptly. The restaurant wasn’t even that busy. The bartender seemed like he was aggravated and angry at the world for some reason. If he doesn’t like his job, he should quit. I’ll order the steak and lobster and it came out promptly and correctly. But the bartender Managed to put me in a bad mood. I went there to relax grab a couple of drinks. Enjoy a good dinner and I got to do none of that because of him. And if I didn’t know any better, I would say he was vaping behind the bar as well, but I wasn’t sure. I went there because it used to be Tony Angelos, and I wanted to see if the atmosphere and everything was the same. It’s not it’s a shame that one person managed to ruin the ambience of that place for me and my dinner experience for me. I should’ve just went and got a hamburger and got the same attention and treatment.

Amazing service, food was fantastic, atmosphere was really nice. The manager marina and our server Jason made our night so special. They were so attentive and kind. We had a very obnoxious table next to us and Marina swiftly came in calmed them down ,she handled it so professionally seems like shes been doing this for her whole life. My family and I will definitely be back soon

Restaurant Review: Rizzitos Prime
Our recent visit to Rizzitos Prime was a mixed experience that left us with a blend of appreciation for the kitchen’s talent and disappointment with the overall service execution.
We arrived as a party of seven at a time when the restaurant was noticeably under capacity—about 30% full—which made the prolonged service we experienced all the more surprising. Our drinks took an unreasonably long time to arrive, setting the tone for what would be an extended evening. The food, while well-prepared, did not reach our table until a full hour after ordering. By that time, the restaurant had dwindled to just 15% occupancy, and it was nearing closing time.
To their credit, the wait staff remained attentive and professional throughout, clearly doing their best to make up for delays from the back of house. The Meatballs appetizer was a standout—absolutely delicious. And once the entrees finally arrived, we were genuinely impressed. The red snapper was the highlight, earning a solid 9.5/10. The ribeye and lobster followed with respectable ratings of 8/10, and the half chicken came in at 7/10.
However, the biggest disappointment came in the form of management. When I politely mentioned our situation to James Patrick, the front of house manager, and noted I would be writing a review (with no intent to pressure), he replied with a smile and a calm “do what you have to do.” It was a cordial exchange, but the tone was passive and conveyed a lack of concern or accountability. No gesture was made to acknowledge the lengthy wait or make amends, which, given the circumstances, would have gone a long way.
In the end, while the food at Rizzitos Prime has potential, the service—particularly the management’s indifference—left us feeling undervalued as customers. Unless it’s particularly convenient, I’m not sure I’d return. As a party of seven who brought no issues to the staff, we walked away puzzled by the lack of urgency or hospitality in an otherwise quiet dining room.

I walked in on Saturday night 11/22 and was only person sitting at bar. They had 1 table with 2 ladies and no one else there. The service bar was busy and bartender made numerous drinks for service bar and then washed all the dishes in the bar. That took about 11 minutes. Not once did anyone in the bar acknowledge my existence. A new drink order for the service bar and bartender when back to make that drink. Still never at least saying she would be with me or sorry for wait. Nothing. Like I was invisible. So I left and went to steak knife who has the best bartenders. The bar was packed. They took my drink order in seconds and before the drink was made, a second bartender checked on me. Stark difference.
