Place was packed when we got there around 7 on Friday night. Ten minute wait was okay. I prefer to frequent an establishment when it is busy as opposed to being the lone diners. They took our order fairly promptly; my wife ordered Fettuccine Alfredo and I ordered the Carbonara with ham and pancetta. Dinner comes with salad and bread sticks.
15 minutes later and a reminder to the waitress- salad and breadsticks arrive. Nothing special. Kind of your typical diner style iceberg lettuce salad. Breadsticks were a little plain. Another 40 minutes pass and dinner arrives. Hot and fresh. After the salad and the wait I was prepared to be disappointed, but the dishes were not bad. Sauce was a little too thick, very creamy but almost milky tasting. Not buttery with a Parmesan overtone. Still it was pleasing- a solid C+ in my book.... My wife said a B.
No excuse for the wait though. Rizzo's obviously has some kinks to work out.
A stop by the restroom on the way out confirmed that they can't handle being busy. Out of paper products and trash cans overflowing.
The restaurant is recently opened and I'm hoping they are learning and improving. I'll try them again in a few months.
