Enjoyable dinner with excellent service. We asked for cannolis for dessert, which were made upon request and delicious.

This restaurant is so easy and pleasant to visit. Food is very tasty and the menu has a nice selection. We were warned when we were being seated that they were out of calamari, which was good to know. Our server was attentive and helpful. The portions are good, and the prices are perfect for family dining. I plan to return often.

It was restaurant week and I had the Grouper special for the second time that week. Delicious. Would love to see the Grouper on the regular menu!

Food was excellent. Service was a bit lacking, mixing up beverages & dinner entrees coming out too quickly after salads delivered. Also had to flag server down to ask about dessert & get check.

Rizzo's never disappoints. Good food, good service and the best pesto around. I have been going to the other locations for years and years. Same experience, just closer.

Very disappointing experience at Rizzos on Transit. The physical restaurant is extremely attractive …. Just need to dedicate a little more attention to cleaning and removing window planters full of dead vines. Meal was way below expectations. Music was so loud our conversation was high decibel. Could be a really great place. Needs a lot of attention and tlc. Probably not going to be returning anytime soon

Food and service were great, however there was Hardly anyone in the restaurant, they were out of 3 major dishes, host’s attitude was like he was bored. Dead plants in window (get silk or assign someone to water them?) They only opened a few months ago but they should be getting staff training on hospitality or at least how to fake it. I fear this place will fail if they don’t make an effort to make the experience more welcoming. We loved Rizzos back in the day when it was in a “too small” building in Williamsville.

One of our party ordered a broccoli pasta dish. She was served some sort of artichoke pasta. After the amount of time we waited for our food, she decided not to say anything for fear it would take a good half hour to get a replacement. Out of lasagna at an Italian restaurant? Really?? The chicken parm was far more breading on it than I've ever seen before. The sauce wasn't bad if you like a sweeter sauce. Even with the order mix up, we loved our server. Super friendly and fun! Unfortunately, we won't be back. Just wasn't very good.
