The restaurant was busy in the kitchen was backed up, so there was a little bit of a delay, but the manager did take care of us by offering us a comp salad. We had this Sicilian meatballs as an appetizer the house salad that you entrées we had was the rigatoni Bolognese and the shrimp oreganatta. Both pasta dishes had good flavor, a little bit of spice as well as the meatballs in case you were not a spicy fan. It did have a little bit of a kick. We would come back again.

We had a lively table, and he was able to make recommendations to us about what food to share, enjoy and his own favorites. Jeff was prompt in refilling our beverages, and remembered the small details like a lime slice with the Diet Coke. The food was fantastic, the three of us shared everything. The only thing missing is a photo of the dessert, highly recommend the spumoni dessert - it features a table side marshmallow toast. So fun! Definitely make a reservation ahead of time to ensure seating, either way will be happy to dine here again. Thank you Jeff for your amazing service!

An amazing date night spot. We'll be back for sure…read more Went here on an anniversary dinner and booked at 9pm, got there 5min late and they were still setting up tables no big deal. Sat in 5-10min on a Friday night. Dillon did great with our service. Ordered the Regina Colletta pizza, and the brown butter ravioli also got the polpette and foccacia. Overall we were very impressed with this place, we ordered dishes that are harder to make, since we love to cook ourselves and they did an amazing. We'll be back for other staples for sure. Main critique I would say is the Pizza, we wouldn't order that flavor again but it was still very good. The balsamic isn't too strong. We just prefer simpler pizza and more well done. But the pizza we feel has the best value. Mushroom ravioli has amazing flavor, deep, rich, all working very well. However, We'll just order more classic dishes next time like the clam spaghetti, chicken parm, you can't go wrong here really.... All in all 9/10 experience, 4.5 starts if I could give that. Ambiance is cute and casual but chic because of the low lighting and the cleanliness. There are three levels of seating, tables, raised booths, and the bar tops. It's great bc it diffuses the noise. The business was packed that night but the noise level was still good enough to hold conversations. Servers and waitresses all look sharps And the place has an open kitchen. Since we love cooking we'll try to sit so we can see it next time. There's also A bar to the right side with a view of the skating rink. I cannot stress enough that the team is doing an amazing job. Obviously the cooks are amazing, the hostesses were so sweet and down to earth, and the servers knocked it out the park. Very memorable anniversary. Thanks Colletta Team!

On a Friday, a craving for Gluten Free pizza. I typed into Yelp and first place listed was Mezza…read moreLuna. Of course, I could drive to local grocery store and get a frozen one and bake it at home.....but I was quite hungry! It took longer getting directions between a Nav and phone sync. Surprisingly, Mezza Luna is actually conveniently located in a short trip! I arrived in person and walked to the counter. I was greeted promptly and the guy was answering 2 phones and taking orders and gave me options based on time and wait for pizza. He did not realize that I was looking for gluten free and got a gentleman to help me. My apologies, as I was a bit overwhelmed and didn't catch his name and how long he said it would be. Regardless, I am a patient person and waited. The gentleman brought the pizza box and handed it to me. The inside restaurant has positioned seating to utilize the space very well. As the clock approaches 5 o'clock, the regular patrons come in and the guy at the counter acknowledges each person even by name. Back to my gluten free pizza.... I did say "thank you, smells amazing " hoping they heard me as this was my first visit. Fortunately, I have self-control and didn't peek until I got home. The plan was to eat half, then reheat other half to determine......besides smelling and seeing the fresh ingredients...no need to add any seasoning! Please don't judge...but I finished it myself! It was quite tasty. Ambiance 4 stars, quaint feels like good gathering spot Customer service 5 stars keep it up Quality 5 stars Quantity 4 stars no leftovers Prices 4 stars for regular (3 stars for gluten free) no deduction Overall 4.5 stars and try again to see if rating is a solid 5. Honestly, I was surprised being able to finish it and how delicious as gluten free is not always easy to make. I forgot to ask about the meatballs..are they only beef? If so, if I call or stop in a day or so in advance, could you consider making 4 meatballs no gluten maybe using cheese instead to taste? I saw hand cut fries...might need to give that a try. ;) No worries about the gluten and sans pork for me too, sorry. If you have a gluten free baguette that would pair well for me or I can pick one up! Thanks....you may see me again soon! Update with pics: disappointed overcooked both crust and cheese!

I am really struggling with how many stars to provide yall after having my first dining experience…read morelast night, I settled on 3 stars bc I see potential and am really hoping that the staff was having an off night. Both my friend and I were first timers and I was very much looking forward our dinner reservation. The restaurant was fairly busy. The decor was nice and I enjoyed the vibe. There appeared to be some confusion/miscommunication among the staff, as the hostess appeared to be doing double duty. We were seated pretty close to our reservation time. The customer service could certainly use some work-there are a few things that really would have elevated the experience. Our server was very soft spoken, withdrawn and sadly lacked attentiveness. We watched tables near by turn over much faster than our service. She brought water and poured it and we placed our drink orders. I was excited to give the Jack and Jill a try-it sounded delicious! I asked if we could get bread and our served rather abruptly responded by staying something like, I don't know it's probably gone. When the bread arrived I found it odd that we were not provided side plates or silverware. When we asked for silverware, I almost felt like we annoyed her. The bread and the plate with oil was a nice touch but I would have appreciated a small plate instead of crumbs ending up all over the table. I really enjoyed the drink-flavorful, but would have appreciated it if it would have been served with a small "bar straw" so I could actually enjoy all of the beverage a little bit easier. Both myself and my friend ordered Cesar salads and I must say I was not happy about spending $11 on this salad that came out with a little bit of parm cheese but no actual dressing Cesar dressing. My friend said she could barely taste dressing on hers, I ended up asking for a side of dressing to which my server in my opinion begrudgingly got it for me and that was the quickest part of the dining process she delivered on! Now, my lobster and shrimp pasta was good, the pasta could have been cooked just a little bit more but I loved the flavor combo. My friend ordered the chicken parm and her report was it was ok. I can't say that I am dying to come back bc the overall experience really fell short for me. Our server seemed to lack efficiency with providing the check and getting our cards/cashing us out too. It is my hope that yall can tighten things up and encourage more friendly and attentive service in the future because they food, drink and atmosphere were above average but the service can't make or break this gals whole dining experience!

I knew it was a local fine dining restaurant, but just making reservations was an interesting experience. (Call and leave a message, there's no open table. There's a form to fill out. What?" As soon a we arrived we realized a reservation wasn't necessary as we were the only guests there for 30 minutes or so. My wife and I ordered: Glass of Wine, Ravioli, a Roman Pizza, a side of green beans, and a desert of tiramisu. The food was quick as we were the only ones there for a while as other guests came in. But as other recent reviews indicate, the menu options are pretty small, but the pricing and ambiance doesn't meld. I expected more redesign of the dining area that was used by the former restaurant; but that wasn't the case. It was a bit small dining room. I'll go back for an appetizer or glass of wine due a gift, but the pricing is too high for the food and the portion size that you get.

The birthday girl turned 94 and it was her first time at Rigos. She loved it and is looking forward to returning. She chose the lasagna that came with bread and salad. I got the bolognese pasta that also comes with bread and salad. The salads were fresh and a good size for a side salad. There's a wide choice of dressings and a Caesar salad as well. The salads and hot bread came out first then a short time later the entrees. Both entrees were delivered quickly and hot. Both were delicious.. The drinks are self serve and the choices are sodas and tea. When they found out it was her birthday they insisted she chose a dessert . She chose the cheesecake and shared with me and it was wonderful. Thanks to the staff for making this special birthday a great treat for our family.

1.5 star downgrade after spending more than $40 for 1 Large Chicken Tikka Pizza, which now costs…read more$35, which I don't think is reasonable for the amount. I was about to order 2 but ended up buying only 1 after being surprised to see that price spiked to $35. It's not like they added any premium ingredients or enhanced it any way. Yeah, it's specialty good but not worth $35 in my book. On top of that, there's a $2 service fee for a pick up order, and when asked to get extra masala sauce and garlic sauce, I got charged extra for those on top of the overpriced pizza. Final bill reached to about $44. For that amount, I could get 2 Extra Large pizzas at Marco's. As much as I love Rigo's Chicken Tikka Masala Pizza, I just think the price increase is ridiculous. At least 1 small container of garlic sauce should be complimentary (like Marco's) but can't believe they charged me extra for that. The lady at the cashier was friendly, and gave me some crushed red pepper and parmesan cheese for free, so that part was nice, but sadly, I probably won't be returning to Rigo's anytime soon after this disappointing experience. Ambiance is small and casual space so Rigo's is more ideal for take out. | Overall Score: 3.4/5
