Ate lunch at Rizzos last Wednesday (September 20,2017) with a friend. We both had received posts in early September (postings of September 6,2017) with raving reviews of authentic Italian food and a menu that looked promising.
When we got there we were confused if we were at the right place as it said "MICHAELS" on the sign. We had been told it was in the old Pork'N'More building which is where we were. As we looked at the menus and our phones trying to decide if to stay or look for the right place, a waitress came over and we asked. Michael's was the name of the last place the restaurant went by!
We were given a paper menu that stated 'soft opening' and that didn't have much at all of the items on the menu that was shown on Facebook and they had prepared to give at the restaurant. It was mostly sandwiches, spaghetti and meatballs and antipasto or shrimp salad. And two desserts.
I got the calzone and my friend got the salad.
I was still hopeful for a great meal but the calzone was unlike any I had ever had before. I expected a lots of cheese, a rich tomato gravy. What I got was alfredo sauce with ham in a biscuit type crust with a side of tomato gravy dipping sauce. NASTY!!! My companions salad looked/smelled much better than my food. I also ordered cheese bread that was brought to the table after our main course was half way over. We both got different desserts a lemon cake, and cheesecake with strawberries that were both good. The wait between eating and ordering was VERY long. You definitely couldn't eat here if you only get a hour for lunch! And they were not busy! Our drinks were water and tea. We were told their bread machine they had been waiting on for weeks had not shown up and maybe the hurricane had slowed down its delivery...??? For a $40.00 lunch I think I'll go somewhere else next time. I do hope they get it together. It would be nice to have a good restaurant nearby.
