Until tonight I hadn't been to RigaTony's since they moved from their Arizona Ave location, and I'm very sorry that I took so long to visit. Honestly the few times I ate at the other location I wasn't blown away, so I really didn't care to give them many more chances.
Tonight was completely different than my previous experiences from years ago. This is now officially my favorite Italian restaurant in Arizona. The food is great, and the $7.50 Early Bird Special is an amazing deal. I also appreciated the frequent diner card that was offered to me, and it's awesome that they don't exclude the Early Bird entrees from it. (I really wouldn't blame them if they did exclude the special because you are already getting a discounted meal with it.) BUT what made my visit stand out more than anything was the fabulous level of service I received. Every single employee smiled at me and made me feel welcome and asked me how I was doing. You don't see that very often, and it was very refreshing.
