The cocktails are always heavily poured - what's not to like about that? I am a vodka martini drinker and my husband is a bourbon on the rocks guy.
I get eggplant parmigiana, chicken marsala, chicken picatta or ravioli. Or, I get the anitpasto for one and a bowl of minnestrone soup, or scarpel soup. The scarpel soup is so good - crepes rolled up with cheese inside in the bottom of the bowl with homemade chicken soup ladled over the top! My husband always gets the same thing...chicken diavola. It's got a wonderful spicy marinara sauce on it!
I ordered the Italian chicken crêpe soup which was lovely. Everyone else ordered an array of pastas and said their dinners were wonderful.
Over the years I have had almost everything on the menu. I haven't ever been disappointed. The house dressing is one of my favorites - you have to love red wine vinegar and prefer a dressing that is not oily or heavy. It's a light red wine vinegarette. The dressing left on the salad plate is delicious mopped up with the soft, warm bread.
I have been eating at Riazzi's since I was 8 years old and it was in it's original location...quite a long time ago. It has been a favorite of mine and still is. Both my husband and I look forward to dinner at this restaurant. The decor that everyone keeps referring to, is almost exactly as it was in the original location. I don't think they are interested in updating the "look" of the restaurant...it's part of the charm.
I drove past it for years and never tried it until one day we went there on a whim. It is now by far my favorite Italian restaurant! The food is great. The service is great. Don't get me started about how delicious the fresh bread is. If I had the money to go out every week, I'd be there!
Great neighborhood gem!! This place has been here forever in Tempe and the food and service is outstanding. My husband and our friends have come here for special occasions several times over the years. We prefer the bar lounge section and our favorite waiter is Rafael and the big tall busser. They are so accommodating and I have tried a diff dish everytime I have gone without any disappointments...great value for what you get, it is reasonably priced and has a very homey feel! Highly recommend!
This restaurant was recommended to us by the gal at the front desk of our hotel and we couldn't be happier. This is definitely not one of the tourist places, but should be. Nick and Eric (who was training) did a great job serving us. Never missed a beat. My husband had the ravioli combo and loved it. I had the Chicken Marsala with Fettuccini Riazzi (Alfredo sauce) and couldn't stop eating it. I am Italian and this takes a place at the top of my favorites in the USA.
The food is good,old time dinning
