    The meatballs are very lonely !

    The restaurant is always very clean, and staff very friendly. One thing that I am very unhappy, there is no consistancy with the sándwich and the amount of meatballs it comes with, is 20+ for a sandwich with THREE small meatballs it dors not not seem fair at all, depending who makes it sometimes it has more and others less. Hope u can do something about it ! You get an extra piece of bread with a sandwich, what for ???

    Chicken & spinach rigatoni  Cajun Chicken Fettuccine
    Nini M.

    Order first, before self serving. I got the chicken and spinach rigatoni and my bf got the spicy Cajun pasta. My rigatoni had Alfredo sauce which was kind of bland. I had to add a lot of chili pepper to give it some flavor. Overall, the pasta was cooked right but the sauce just needed more. They give you a lot so I have left overs. The Cajun pasta was good!! I wish it was spicer. Ambiance is nice, small restaurant at the corner. Good parking. You serve your own water, utensils, bread, etc. one worker checked in on us after giving us our food, very nice lady. The pasta was around $16 which I think coulda been better for that price. I would come again but try a different pasta.

    TINY BABY CHICKENS
    Amy P.

    Way overpriced! Look at this lasagna I paid $22 for. They didn't even include the salad and soda that come with the combo. The roasted chicken dinner was the most expensive and look at these tiny baby chickens. DON'T ORDER FROM HERE!

    DELIVERY ONLY Friend was craving Italian and he decided on this place. There is a reason for the rating being the way it is. -Portions: good portion size and the food looks delicious - Food: We ordered the Cajun Chicken Fettuccine - there is some spice to the flavor and the noodles are well cooked but the chicken had a very off texture. 3 people ordered a dish with chicken all 3 agreed that the texture of the chicken was dry and odd. Never again.

    If you are hungry you will get full.... The salads were fresh, the cheesy garlic bread was delicious. We had to add a lot of seasoning to the pasta dishes to make them tasty. Also, You have to unlimited bread, oil and vinegar. Murkee and the lady taking orders were very nice. Parking was easy. And the food came up quickly. Bonus tidbit: Franzia box wine was being served as an option...

    Soup & salad lunch (9.95)

    Rigatoni's didn't have a menu viewable on line. so i dropped in. the menu on the wall isn't the typical Italian menu. noticed 1 lableled lunch time "favorites" with soup & salad....and some entrees listed on it. rigatoni bolognese was on the list. i asked the cashier if rigatoni bolognese had soup & salad with it. long story short. cashier wasn't listening carefully even after i repeated it. ended up with soup & salad (9.95) to go. eats: walnut salad with tomato bisque soup (9.95) came with bread & better. -mixed green salad had walnut pieces with italian dressing and other items. fresh tasting. -tomato bisque was yummy as was the sliced bread roll. -unsweetened tea was nice. -butter labeled "whipped sweet cream Butter". made with pasteurized cream (milk), salt. was soft/liquid, not solid 3.5 stars good value, 2 options for soup, 3 for salad, 3 dressings, 6 drink options. takeouts: -credit card taken with a photo id check -limited indoor dining available -menu(s) on wall wasn't very clear. -quick, courteous service. -

    I've been coming here for quite some time, and I like this Rigatoni's!! They keep their Italian food simple, I doubt it's authentic, but that doesn't really matter. The food is good and reasonably priced!! I usually roll with the Fettuccini Alfredo or one of their specials, which is written on a small chalk board that you see upon entering. You also can get unlimited amounts of bread and butter, and the service is great!! I really liked dining in here before Covid, sitting by the window and kicking back and enjoying my meal, can't wait to get back to that again!!!

    I've driven past here once or twice but never thought much of it. Fast forward a few years and my sister's sending me photos of her pasta and garlic cheesy bread. Rigatoni's where it's at! Their pasta is made from scratch right before your very eyes in their homestyle open kitchen a few feet past the counter. Yup, it's an order at the counter, they'll bring over your meal type of place. AYCE bread! 3 kinds: sourdough, "everything" with seeds/garlic/onion, and pumpernickel? No longer warm so butter doesn't spread as easily. Prices are pretty reasonable. Spaghetti with meatballs is $14.99. My favorite is the rigatoni bolognese! Al dente textured rigatoni tubes with savory red sauce mixed with cream + cheese and crumbled sausage in every bite! So good!! I also had the fettuccine with shrimp & mushrooms in creamy garlic sauce, sauce tasted a bit sweet to me, but microwaving leftovers doesn't cause oil separation in the sauce like at Olive Garden! Shrimp content is a bit skimpy when you add it on to a dish. $3 for 6 pieces. Garlic cheese bread is enough for two people. Eat it as soon as it's served! Gooey cheesiness. Almost forgot we ordered spinach cheese tortellini with shrimp. Fantastic! You can't go wrong with any of their fresh made pastas. Caesar salad was ok, also tasted sweet to me. Order ahead online or by phone! It gets pretty cold inside. I saw some desserts behind the display case. Cheesecake or chocolate cake slices, anyone?

    Rigatoni Bolognese was runny. This used to be my favorite signature dish but this is the second time the sauce was runny and bland.

    Food was quick but my Rigatoni Bolognese was bland and the sauce was runny. I thought it was going to be different than the last time i was here but i was disappointed. This used to be my favorite dish but i dont think i will be coming back.

    I ordered for their home made lasagna and was very much disappointed. Sauce was runny and the whole food looked like soup. Presentation was nasty. Giving them a 2 because cashier was nice.

    Garlic Bread, extra foil layers.
    Jason C.

    We've had our fair share of burgers, Chinese food and Mexican food so it was time to try Italian. We are not new to Rigatoni's as we've been there a plenty of times before our situation changed where we don't get out as much. So we decided to order online from Grubhub and it was delivered to perfection! Everything in the order was hot and fresh, and the garlic bread, it was super delicious. Rigatoni tasted very good and so did the spaghetti. I appreciate the extra layers of foil wrap to keep the garlic bread fresh when it arrives via delivery a delivery driver. It made for a great dinner. But we got full halfway so we saved the rest for lunch today. It's just a meal you don't want to pass up on a Friday or any day of the week. This is nice Italian food!

    Bread
    Minh C.

    We ordered the Grilled Chicken with Mushroom and pasta. It included a small bread with the meal for $16.99. The sauce is very creamy and pretty darn good. It's similar to chicken marsala minus the marsala wine. The amount of food is good. I would say they are on par with Olive Garden. I'll come by and try out their lunch specials next time to see if their other items are as good. One thing I noticed is that they also do catering that's pretty reasonable. 3 trays, salad, and bread for like $200-$275 that feeds about 25 people.

There aren't many businesses in this complex so there's always plenty of parking. I inside of the restaurant was small but had plenty of tables. It was a slow day on that weekday early dinner time. We asked to order our items for take out. We waited not too long as I remember. How was the food? Fried Calamari- for only being a couple minutes away I wonder why the calamari was already almost cold when we ate it. It was pretty disappointing. Maybe they just had it in the box while they waited for the rest of our order. I don't know. Flavor was good. Pizza Primavera - It was good, I was okay with it. The pizza dough wasn't my favorite but it was fine. White Pasta - I honestly don't remember what the name was but it was an item my bf ordered. This was terrible. Like there was too much roux to make the bechamel. It tasted of flour. Not much salt, not much of other flavors. Not enough milk and cheese and butter. He took a bite and put it down. Overall, glad we tried it but we might not be coming back. With the economy now, it's disappointing when the food is terrible for how much we pay for.

We started with the NEW Hot Honey Chicken Bites, and they were an easy 10/10! They were packed with flavor, and the chicken was so tender it practically melted in your mouth. Definitely recommend trying those. For our entrée, we shared the Chicken Fettuccine with Broccoli, and the staff was kind enough to split the meal for us and even brought extra Alfredo sauce on the side, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, the pasta itself was very dry, and the broccoli was heavily seasoned to the point that it took away from the dish. We both agreed it's something we wouldn't order again. I also ordered a martini, but it tasted almost entirely like olive juice and lacked much of anything else. One thing that stood out was that there were quite a few teenage employees standing around near the front, and we weren't greeted when we walked in. A simple welcome would have made a better first impression. Overall, despite a few misses, I'd still come back because it's close to home and the service of splitting our meal was appreciated. Just next time, I'll definitely be ordering the Hot Honey Chicken Bites again and trying a different entrée.
