It was crowded - as usual - but everyone is greeted, seated, and has a drink in-hand in record time! It was fun to watch the servers running between two large parties, yet taking the time to make sure we got our wine, large antipasto, and garlic bread - a peasant's dinner! In the past we have ordered different pasta and meat dishes that we loved but this time the smaller dinner was just what we wanted.
We celebrated our anniversary dinner at Riazzi's last night. It's a tradition on many years, and we weren't disappointed. Riazzi's is a cozy, old-fashioned restaurant with comfortable padded booths, and where we sit in the bar, the lighting is dim and Italian music adds to the ambience. We started with the warm, ultra-fresh bread with butter and added the ample zucchini appetizer, non-greasy and accompanied with both tomato and ranch dips. As always, I had the shrimp scampi and my husband the scallops - delicious, and well-s... read more
First time at Riazzi's tonight. Had a celebration for 20 people. Table was ready as promised. I was first to arrive but waiter greeted me quickly and offered to take my drink order. There were already 8-10 parties seated at 5:30 PM -good start. As guests arrived, same good service was offered. Lots of different dishes ordered but I'll stick with what my family ordered. My wife sampled the antipasto salad and steamed mussels as an entree. Our daughter ordered from the gluten free menu and had the shrimp scampi with GF penne p... read more
I always make it a point to eat here when I am in Phoenix. My favorite spot is at the bar. The bartender gives great service, with a smile. The baked Penne, with sausage ground up in the sauce is very delicious. The meatballs are spectacular, and the sauce...what can I say about the sauce? It's what keeps me coming back again and again. When you try the ravioli, see if you can guess the spice that has been added. I think it is very unique!! You can't beat old family recipes that came over with Nona from the old country!!
I dined at Riazzi's last Sunday evening after I decided to make a u turn on Mill Avenue. I always tell people go to a restaurant "alone" to truly find out the quality of the food and service is for diners. The service (Josh) and food (spinach lasagna) were both excellent. Furthermore, the hostess made sure I was seated in a corner table and I loved how Riazzi's still have their Christmas decorations up in the middle of January! Next time, I'm bringing an entourage of people with me.
I love this restaurant! I have been eating at Riazzi's since 1975. I remember requesting it for my birthday dinner the year I turned 13! The recipes are family recipes and they taste just as good as ever! My favorites are the chicken marsala, chicken diavola, eggplant parmesan, fettuccine Alfredo, scarpel soup, minestrone and the antipasto salad for 2! The cocktails are generously poured! Don't skip dessert...the cannolis are fantastic!
I've been here about 3-4 times over the last ten years, and let me tell you- it certainly has not changed in all those years! Good for service and food, bad for the scenery and, well, bathrooms. A mini-remodel would benefit them. You start with delicious, warm, soft bread. Each entree comes with either a soup or salad. I got the Italian house salad. Crisp produce and the dressing was good. I ordered the Chicken Parmesan. Holy cow, was it awesome! Good amount of sauce, and the chicken was not over cooked. My chicken came with... read more
Garden some people say that this place is in need of remodeling and it's outdated but to be honest I think that is what gives it it's charm. This place has been around for ages and the feel inside the restaurant is reflective of that.
The customer service and food is really really great.
