My family went to Rizzo’s for the first time yesterday and we were very impressed. The service was excellent, servers were friendly and knowledgeable. The food was amazing. I would consider Rizzo’s one of the best restaurants I’ve been to. If you like Italian cuisine give Rizzo’s a try you won’t be disappointed!!!

Everything I expected and more, Veal Parm was amazing! Pickled peppers, burratata, antipasto were all great as well but the Parm is what stuck out the most to me. Would and have recommended this place to anyone who asks about food in the area. This made the trip from Sudbury, ON worth every minute! Had to hit back a few times almost forgot the focaccia, it was light, airy, with a great little crunch I would recommend an extra order with the balsamic and oil.

Children devoured their pasta and chicken tenders. Bruchetta was amazing, so many tomatoes I doubt there's anything left in the garden. Chicken Parm was incredibly delicious. Carbonara was devine. The new merlot was smooth and full of body, unfortunately there was a hole in the bottom of the bottle, will need to go back.

We were surprised that there was a new charge for the side of pasta, previously it was included! Sorry there was none of the expensive but delicious cheese garlic bread ! But delicious as usual!
Rizzo's House of ParmResponded 6 days ago
Betty, Thanks for your feedback. We removed the spaghetti from the parms to create more flexibility for our guests to create the meal of their choice. We received feedback that guests were too 'locked in' on getting a pasta, when some would prefer a side or a salad! We did lower the price of the parms to ensure value was still also provided to guests. We hope to see you soon!

The food was good, we had the mozzarella sticks which are not your average stick they were huge and melted just delish. Had the bruschetta and honestly I didn’t like it, the tomatoes where 1/2 cherry type tomatoes and hard to eat on the bread, wish they were diced up a bit more I wouldn’t order that again. We had the meatballs and they were delish the sauce was great. Then I had the stuffed shells and by the time it came out (which was not long) I was so full but had a couple and they were hot and good! Others had the park, chicken and egg plant and they said it was delish as well. Overall a really good meal. The ONLY bad thing was the noise level, there is nothing in there to dampen the sound and it is so loud it was hard to have a conversation with the table. I would suggest putting up some tiles so dampen the sound, that was a bit overwhelming. But over a great food!

My fifth time, outstanding service. Fantastic food five times in a row consistently good. However, I was trying to enjoy conversation with friends and honestly I couldn't hear my friend across the table from me.. Even the server asked many times for us to repeat what we said.. I won't stop going, just wish we could do something with the noise level. See you again soon!

Went to Rizzos last night. Both the service (Erica) and food were outstanding. I dreamt about that wedge salad since the first time I tried it there and it didn't disappoint. The chicken parmesan was amazing, a huge portion, so I have lunch today. I saved room for the brownie with mint chip icecream. Portions were plenty, service was awesome and personable. I can't wait for my next meal there!

The food is amazing, best chicken parm ever and calamari too, a must try! The prices have gone up recently but the place is still packed every night. Wish the chairs had some kind of cushion, they are really hard and the benches too. As it is always a full house, it tends to be noisy.

Unfortunately this restaurant is over rated. The calamari were over breaded. The eggplant parm was basically mozzarella parm. There was so much cheese that you basically were eating cheese not eggplant. The antipasto plate was good, generous portion of prosciutto, cheese, olives and bread. The atmosphere was not impressive. Wooden chairs and benches that did not make for a comfortable seating experience. Extremely loud where it became difficult to hear each other. For those folks who like Canadian Italian and not close to anywhere real Italian food it’s average at best. Wanted to love it because everyone raves about this place but we did not see where this place excelled.

My Fiancée and I came here to celebrate her birthday. We’ve spent a lot of time trying out new (to us) restaurants in our area but also outside our city as well, especially ones we’ve heard have some great food. We were not disappointed here at all. I ordered the Matty’s Tagliatelle Bolognese and my fiancée ordered the Eggplant Parm. Both were delicious. We also opted for dessert. We ordered the Chocolate Brownie with Mint Cholocate Chip Ice Cream which was great as well, albeit quite large but perfect to share. The food and cocktails we ordered were fantastic and we will definitely return to dine here again. Service was also another hit for us, our server was really nice and helpful with making any drink or food choices. Staff is superb here. I’ve been to a couple of Matty’s other places in Toronto and even got to try his pop-up BBQ place that was open for a while in Fort Erie, I would say Rizzo’s in Fort Erie is one of his best. My fiancée and I both had a great time and are looking forwarding to returning.
