    Our server Laura V. was excellent. I ordered one the Specials, the 45 Day Dry-Aged Kansas City Strip. Was very good. Added Black Truffle Butter to that. Ordered a side of Sauteed Button Mushrooms, which was a very large order, certainly more than enough for two. All in all, a great evening out.

    Amazing experience. Our waitresses was fantastic, the food was fantastic. Our only complaint is that it is quite noisy and it was difficult to have a conversation. Other than that, we highly recommend Rizzo's.

    Wonderful experience! My husband and I went out for dinner to celebrate my new job, and we are so glad we went to Jazzboline! You have to try the Lamb Meatballs app - the cheese sauce they come with is amazing. My husband had the short ribs and I had the natural chicken breast meal - both mouthwatering. I couldn’t decide on a wine to go with my meal so I thought I’d ask for a recommendation…Jonathan, the restaurant manager, suggested Rainstorm Pinot noir, and he was spot on! Finished out the dinner with the crème brûlée - just incredible all around. Olivia our waitress was attentive, never had to wait for anything. Highly recommend to anyone who wants delicious food, fantastic service, with a great atmosphere!
