| - Riazzi's is the type of place that you need to know what you are doing and what to expect to enjoy it. Other reviewers are right on about some of the negatives: the decor is horrible and certain menu items are fine but not impressive.
Here is what you need to know to dig it:
1. Sit in the bar-- it has a cooler vibe than the dining room (kind of mobstery)
2. Order seafood or one of the specialty dinners. Don't fill up on bread or salad, the bread is great, and the salad is the old school iceberge lettuce with beets and pepperochinis.
3. If you want pizza, they make great pizza, but keep it simple, this is not the type of pizza you want to ruin with a ton of toppings. We usually order it with just onions or just garlic. I wouldn't add pepperoni, it just isn't that type of pizza. If you don't like onions, you don't know anything about food, and should eat every meal at Applebee's.
4. I also recommend the chicken Marsala, but I have never had it anywhere else, so it is hard to say if it is a good one. I like it, and I am a fan of food.
5. The prices are reasonable to cheap for a sit down place. Can't go wrong with that!
It's a good place! Don't let the other review fool you, just be prepared, and don't expect Olive Garden. This is real food. I think some people have forgotten what real food is.
