| - I've eaten at Riazzi's for many years, and sad to say, the food is not what it used to be. I went with a party of 20, and even though they knew we were coming with plenty of advanced notice, they were overwhelmed. Service aside, the food just wasn't on point.
Red sauces were bland, and seemed in short supply. I asked for Pasta Carbonara, and it was so salty as to be virtually inedible. There was so much pancetta in it that it overwhelmed completely the rest of the dish. One of our party had pizza, and found it to be just ordinary. Most of the dishes were not enjoyed with the one exception of the calamari, which was perfectly fried.
I realize that times are hard all over, but the temperature in the restaurant was unbelievably warm, and members of our party kept having to get up and go outside to cool off.
I hope they go back to the fine food they used to serve, because this was a not what I remembered from the past.
