    Cavatelli Con Broccoli (no mushrooms)
    Celia P.

    We had a great experience at this place! We were seated very quickly with no wait. The rolls were GREAT, and are even better dipped in marinara or Alfredo sauce. We ordered some cheese sticks, and they were very good, but a bit small in size for the price. The entrees were amazing, both in quality and portion size, and everyone in my group was very pleased. Also, our server was super sweet, quick, and helpful, and answered all of our questions!

    Always love eating here. The food never disappoints. Hot and fresh. Salad is always a hit at our table. Tortellini Alfredo (to die for) Shrimp scampi past (Excellent) and a glass of Moscato. I eat here anytime I'm at the Ozarks. Our waitress was phenomenal and beyond friendly (This was on a Wednesday, Feb 22nd around 230pm) I did not get her name and I wished I had bc she was a delight.

    I've been either living at or visiting the Lake of the Ozarks all my life and somehow had missed dining at Li'l Rizzos. I was excited to have lunch with my brother and sister in law. We were seated quickly. The decor is very "Tuscan" with arches and pillars. The waitress came quickly for our orders. We had the spinach, green chili and Jalepeno dip with tortilla chips. It was excellent. Creamy and very flavorful and not too spicy. My sister in law had the lasagna. It was an ample portion. She enjoyed it as it had lots of cheese and sauce. My brother had a salad and the minestrone, which he said was very good. I ordered the Chicken Spiedini and was disappointed. It was advertised as a chicken breast on a bed of angel hair pasta with a garlic butter sauce. The tiny chicken breast was so delicious, some of the best I've ever had. Sadly there was little or no garlic butter sauce and the noodles tasted very bland. What could have easily been an excellent dish seemed very underwhelming. I will eventually give them another try and hopefully have a better experience next time.

    Fun atmosphere! It's like walking into an Italian version of Cheers (old sitcom). The staff is so warm and treats you like your bff's. The food is like eating in my grandma's kitchen. Perfectly Italian. Not the Americanized version but the good ol' Mama style. I had a craving for spaghetti and it hit the spot. Hubby had Calzone and licked his plate clean. It was stuffed full and oozed out when he cut into it. Now let's talk drinks the adult kind!! The Cherry Limeade was to die for!! Holy yum balls!! Can't wait to try some of the others but it'll be hard to not order the Cherry Limeade, too.

    8" Big 10....sorry forget to take pic before devouring.

This is our first pick of restaurants that are lake front when we come down to the ozarks! I ordered the fish tacos. They had a lot of flavor on top but the fish was somewhat plane. i would love to see a blackened fish or bang bang shrimp taco! The Skinny margarita was very strong.

The alcohol definitely creeps up because of how tasty these drinks are. This place almost gave hooters vibes except the girls wear tight short shorts. But the service was really nice regardless. They weren't the most attentive but granted this place was packed the entire time we ate here. We definitely will be back though! The jambalaya was a little salty. The fried bang bang shrimp were also salty. Still decent. The Mac and cheese was the best! The hot chicken was on the sweeter side, the way I like it! The nacho cheese and chips were to die for. Perfect cheesy creamy goodness. The birria tacos were also great! Tender meat and yummy potato salad. Overall parking was abundant and they even have a pool with tables inside. Kids can go in the weekdays but on weekends it's adult only. They also have a cute gift shop. Well def be back and I highly recommend

It's a lot of food especially after a few wings. Three corn tortilla tacos stuffed with I believe it was shredded beef and some type of Mexican cheese. Served with a really good au jus type sauce and another cold sauce, maybe mango salsa? It's well worth the price and you probably have a full taco left over for lunch the next day.its covered open-air seating with several TVs above the bar and some games to play in the coveted patio open space. They have a stage so I'm sure there is music in the evening but we usually go for lunch or early dinner. Great view out to the water and plenty of parking slips for boats.

Sadly, it was by far the most disappointing dining experience of all the times we have visited. At this most recent visit, we noticed there were not that many customers sitting inside or outside. Even though it was super hot and humid, we still opted for an outdoor table to get the full lakeside experience! Instant regret because we were all dying from dehydration and getting just water took painfully long. Our server was apologetic though so no big deal. Now onto the food. We always start with an order of cheese curds because how can you not! For my entree, I was really craving a salad. I was debating between the House salad and the Greek salad but ultimately decided on the Greek solely because the latter came with chickpeas and artichokes! Yum! We shouldn't have been surprised that the food also took forever to come out...but we were.. because again we always had good experiences.. Cheese curds came out crispy and heavenly so no complaints there! But my buddha my poor salad. The greens were overdressed and there was not a chickpea or artichoke in sight! Hello chickpea artichoke where are you?! I really didn't want to complain but it was an expensive salad so we ended up letting our server know just so she can inform the chef that some key ingredients were missing just as an FYI. Well our server later informs us that the chef didn't forget the ingredients, they just ran out but didn't bother telling anyone????? I don't know bro but that's just messed up. Especially when you still end up serving a tiny portion with missing ingredients. We paid for the check and still left a good tip because it wasn't our servers fault but what a pretty disappointing experience all around. -Sailor out
