Service was prompt and courteous. My meal of Baked Mostaciolli arrived very hot, served with a basket of warm garlic rolls. The menu has an excellent, varied selection. The restaurant is spacious and beautifully painted with frescoes, accented by decorative pieces. There are various seating areas for all types and sizes of groups. The restaurant has several mounted screens for a variety of sports broadcasts. There is upbeat music playing (loudly) in the restaurant.
Kind of decent Italian restaurant in the Osage beach adjoining the premium outlet mall. Clean place with fast turnaround service. There is another location near the Lake Ozark which has different vibe. At lunch time the place was not busy at all and we were in and out quiet quickly.
We stopped by on a Friday night with a party of 8 and were seated immediately. They seemed short staffed but did their best. The appetizers were great and the main courses were pretty good. The reason for not having 5 stars was my tortellini Alfredo was pretty dang dry but had good flavor. The shrimp scampi was great. I would give them another shot.
Came here with my kids plus two. The waitress explained they were short staffed and to bear with her. I full anticipated a long wait but we ended up only waiting 20 min for all of our food. Everything was good and we all left full!
Fist time back to Lil Rizzos in 20 years. First of all the restaurant had sort of a funky odor when we walked in. Food was just OK. The spaghetti and meatball was barely warm enough. Wasn't a lot a spaghetti and the sauce was also a bit skimpy. Had to scrape the bowl to get a little for the meatball. Not the experience I expected after driving 185 miles each way.
I've eaten here several times and always had good food experiences. Different people in our party have menu items they love and always go to like the manicotti or the spaghetti and meatballs. I like to try different things today I went with their specialty pizza. Pizza was delicious really liked the crust maybe slightly overpriced compared to other places however we had one of the school district education cards so we had a buy one get one :-)
Service can be slightly slower, I feel due to staffing issues which is beyond their control. But the servers have always been friendly and accommodating. Overall I would recommend this as a good place to go get a meal!👍
UPDATE 8.7.22: came to eat after church. Seated right away. Service was not slow this time. Great server who was very helpful and attentive! From the spaghetti and meatballs to Alfredo pizza and a create your own pizza, everything was delicious!! Still a location to be recommended!!!
I've been here several times over the years and have never been let down even a little. Great staff and excellent food. Highly recommend to any pasta lovers.
We ordered the Beef Risso and it was amazing. The steak was cooked to perfection with just the right amount of angel hair pasta and sauce to compliment and bring the flavors together.
The food was very good. The service was great great great. It was however extremely pricey for the amount of food. A side salad just lettuce tomato and onion is $10. For an Italian restaurant not to have garlic bread or sticks is unheard of. Though I assume they believe that a dinner roll is an acceptable replacement.
Owners of this place are amazing!
The gluten free pizza is the bomb!! Can’t wait to try other menu items, too!
Great place to dine when we are at the lake catching up with old friends. Love the salad. It reminds me of Pasta House in St. Louis. There is a second Rizzos on the lake. Both are equally good. Enjoy!
