| - We USED to be RigaTony customers back in the day when they 1st opened their location at Az ave and Knox. Went there for years...until the neighborhood and RigaTony's quality and service went WAY downhill. It was no big surprise when that location closed. We quit going altogether.
On a whim, (and hoping for the good old days when this place was one of our faves...) we tried their "new" location-- at Warner / McClintock-- I guess it has been there about a year+ so I figured that was enough time to get it together.Lucky us, Monday night is "Kids eat Free" night. With two toddlers in tow, this was a bonus!
Not packed, but kind of busy for a Monday , we were greeted and seated right away. Our server was right on us and got our bev order. She also suggested that she could put the kids order in 1st, so they would not have to wait...great idea.
The herb-bread with olive oil for dipping was even better than I remembered. And the antipasto salad included with the meal had generous portions of meat, cheese, tomatoes,onion, peppers, olives with house dressing, was fresh and very good. My wife who is allergic to onions, asked our sever to make her a salad without, and she was very accommodating...
Not really sure what to try, I opted for the "Tour of Rigatony" plate which included a generous (more than a sample) portion of what I guess is their more popular items:Chicken Picatta, stuffed shells, fettucinni alfredo, and a huge italian sausage ( kind of spicy, to my delight!). This dish is for the hungry appetite...I brought half home; it's a lot of food for $14.95!
The wife ordered the Capellini Seafood dish: Clams, mussels, shrimp sauteed in a very light white wine/butter and herb sauce, placed over angel hair pasta. She seemed to really enjoy it. I tasted it and the seafood was fresh and prepared very nicely. It also was a large serving.
We remembered that in the good old days, Rigatony's desserts were awesome, so we ordered the Tiramisou, and chocolate layered cake. These were truly scrumptious!
All in all, it was a wonderful dining experience.... service and food was great! Price was very reasonable for the amount of food...
The Mgr was making his rounds to each table making sure our evening was satisfactory....I related my story as a returning customer, and told him that they have won us back as regulars! The biggest compliment was from our 5 year old: "This is WAY better than Olive Garden! "
