    Had a great server who ordered our food promptly. We had a six year old who was very impatient. Great family restaurant which is a good value. Parking is somewhat difficult.

    We sat outside in an igloo. Like a private dining room. It was cold outside, but warm in the igloo. Food, service, and value we're all excellent - as always. But sitting outside fixed the one gripe we had always had - too noisy. Sitting in the igloo made it perfect!

    I always love this restaurant . The choice is excellent and everything is first rate. Dining in the outside pods is so private and comfortable. I would suggest this to anyone looking for a lovely dining experience, either lunch on weekends or dinner.

    Really wanted to like it but overall "mid" experience. Calamari undercooked, oysters tiny and clam chowder needed more flavor. Looks like they do large parties here a lot and it shows. :-(

    The perfect spot to celebrate my birthday with family. The igloo made it even more special. Service was great, and the food was even better.

    Great happy hour and dinner! The restaurant is beautiful inside. They have a fairly large menu with a nice variety plus a daily fresh specials menu. Oysters and mussels apps were wonderful, and the blackened scallops were excellent. The vegetables (spinach & brussel sprouts) were cooked and seasoned perfectly. Our server, Andrea, was fantastic!! With the open kitchen, the kids enjoyed watching the pizza oven and the chefs cooking. Definitely will be back.

    Found this great restaurant looking for a mid way place to meet up for dinner with friends and we were not disappointed. The owner Bill was such a great guy. He gave us a rundown of the menu and his recommendations along with our amazing server Alana who added her favorites as well. Started out with the Fishermans Seafood Tower of oysters, clams, shrimp and crab and moved onto the entress of Triple Tail, Mahi, Mahi and a Hogfish Sandwich. Everything was fresh and absolutely delicious. Next was the flourless chocolate cake and the Ring Ding dessert with a cappuccino which just topped off our great experience here. Offering an extensive bar menu, amazing food all mixed with great atmosphere (can enjoy conversation without loud background noise), and their friendly staff, Rizzutos made this a great place to enjoy a night out from start to finish. It may be a drive to get there, but we will definitely be back for sure.
