Great food and a wonderful family – I'll admit it, I am biased. I worked as a cook at Riazzi's (and hosted sporadically) for almost 8 years. I STILL LOVE THE FOOD. Still. I haven't worked there for almost 4 years, and I go back regularly to chat with my second family and get my fix. This place is special, with special people. Yes, I know, I have had to wait for my food or drinks for longer than at a chain restaurant, but I feel it is worth it for the care and warmth I have always felt here (even pre-employee). And you know w... read more

want Italian?? Here it is.... – I skimmed over the reviews thus far and can't understand for the life of me why anyone would give this restaurant a negative review......so what the food took a little loger.....I personally don't like recieving my entree back to back with the apps.......do you.....I'm not in any rush.......not here anyway. I've eaten at Riazzi's a half a dozen or so times and I always get what I expect.....perfect Italian fare and from the quality of it and the price, it's easy to see why so many people love ... read more

Highly recommend – Great place for authentic Italian food. We go everytime we're in town. Only complaint is that we wish the food would be a little quicker. Very personable staff and great wine selection. Go for any pizza and you won't be disappointed.

Homemade Food, Fun Atmosphere – Our family went here while we were passing through the Phoenix area. We sincerely enjoyed our experience. Our server was friendly and service was better than average. The best part was the food. It may not be authentic, but it was delicious. My mom and I both got the cheese ravioli and it was heavenly. We're still talking about it! Everyone enjoyed the meal. It was hearty and satisfying. The atmosphere was fun. There's a beautiful patio out front (too bad it was WAY too hot outside to make use... read more

ho-hum – I LOVE italian food and have eaten in many restaurants. We've just moved to the Phoenix area and I was excited about going to Riazzi's because they have received nice reviews and they are walking distance from our home. Unfortunately, I have found that their food is just average. Their menu is average and doesn't show much imagination. The food itself is average. Not bad, but not very good either. The floor was quite dirty, which did not make a good first impression. There is a very nice looking outside patio which ... read more

Avoid at all cost... – After the bread and butter it was all down hill. Visited here with my friend who is a London Bobby as we were not looking for anything too lavish on our night on the town. Started our dining experience with an small anti-pasta salad for two. The dressing was sparse and the cheese and meat portion consisted of 2 amall slices of salami, 1 slice of cheese sliced from corner to corner and a couple of peporocinis (or whatever). Then came the minestroni soup which was bland and tastless. Better soups can be ... read more

Best Italian in PHX by far! – I have been in Phoenix for two years now, I have been looking for an authentic Italian restaurant since the day I moved here, actually a couple months before I even moved here! I loved Maggiano's, I loved Arevaderci (Scottsdale) but last night my girlfriend and I decided to try this little hidden Italian place near Southern on Mill that we drove by all the time. Wow, what a great idea, when you walk into the place, you'd think you were at some fancy restaurant in Scottsdale. There's a VERY large... read more

Hidden Gem...Best Italian in AZ we've had. – We read they review on here this evening and decided to finally try it out. We had a wonderful time. The inside is spacious with booths and large tables. We are definitely bringing family when they visit. We started with the calamari. The last time we had this good of calamari was in Monterey, CA on the pier. The service was spectacular. Our waiter went out of his way to make sure we were happy with our meals. Even bringing out extra meatballs (on the house) when I asked if they w... read more

not so good anymore – Years ago this was a place to get excellent food. On my last visit, I had close to the worse plate of pasta ever. There was virtually no tomato sauce on the spaghetti. I'm surprised my waiter did not notice this.
