We had a lovely time celebrating our anniversary at Rizzo’s. All the staff was incredible, the food is some of the best we’ve eaten in a while and we’re already planning to come back soon! Highly reccommend the mozzarella sticks, penne alla vodka, chicken parm, Italian wedding soup and cannoli. Everything else we saw come out of the kitchen looked and smelled incredible as well.
