Lunch menu was reasonably priced, and the food delicious! The fried zucchini appetizer was the best we have ever eaten. Hot, crispy, and the pesto dipping sauce was a nice touch. If you love Italian food like we do, the weekday specials are available on Saturday and Sunday. Joe had the rigatoni with sausage. I had chicken Parmesan and each came with a pasta side with marinara sauce. A family style antipasto salad and all the Italian bread you can eat is served too. Interestingly enough, there were shakers of Parmesan, dried oregano and gasp! Red pepper flakes and olive oil at the tables. While you would think this is the norm in Italian eateries, it isn’t. I usually have to ask for red pepper flakes and oil. We had lunch mid afternoon, and the parking lot was starting to fill up by the time we left. There were other restaurants in the immediate area, but were not busy like this place. Our waiter was the best. Attentive, answered questions, gave us suggestions on the menu and was very pleasant. This restaurant also handles parties, like the birthday party yesterday. We will definitely come back. Thank you Rigatony’s for making a last minute decision to eat there a great dining experience.

My family loves this restaurant. I am the lonely gluten free eater in our group of 5 and Rigatony's has several delicious gf menu items for me to enjoy! They never screw up my special orders either. Food and ambience are always top quality. Service is the best around. This is consisitent for the nearly 20 years I've lived in the east valley. The antipasto salad is second to none! Try it and you will be back for more in no time. Marissa is our favorite server, she is amazing, we got to see her for lunch today! Thank you Rigatony's. We are devoted regulars for life!!

Having visited this restaurant a few times, we are never disappointed by the food or the service. We absolutely love RigaTony's! Yesterday night was no exception. We came in and had a wonderful dinner and with kids was in such a hurry to get out, forgot our leftovers. I went back in to see our table already cleared and was approached by the server and told it was thrown away. As he was apologizing, Mike the manager, walked by and heard. I told him it was fine but he insisted on making me my dish over. I only mention my meal (the other was a kids meal and soup) but when he came out he had made my meal, kids meal, soup and even threw in bread & salad! Having worked in the restaurant business I was so impressed with how he treated his customers. Not only do they have some of the best Italian food I've ever had but they go above and beyond to provide you with a great dining experience. Thank you Mike and the RigaTonys crew, we will be seeing you soon!

We really enjoyed the food, service could have been a little better. It was an overall good experience and the cappuccino cake for dessert was excellent!!!

There's apparently a reason this place is always busy. Salad was great, bread was fabulous, and our entrees were spectacular! Server was helpful, and the hostess was cordial. This was our first visit, and we'll surely be back.

Great place. Best meatball outside of homemade I've had. Loved that our waiter said that just because something isn't on the menu doesn't mean they can't make it. As long as they have ingredients they will make almost anything. Love that business savyness.

We were in Phoenix on vacation and had to stop by for lunch. We lived in the area for years and this was one of our favorite restaurants. Always try to make sure we eat here every time we visit the area. Never disappointed with the food.

11/24/2023 There was Four of who stopped by for lunch this afternoon. They have a really good lunch special till 3 PM. The nice thing is the special comes with endless salads. The restaurant is great especially the old pictures on walls are fun so don’t forget to spend sometime having a look and knowing who’s in the pictures. The service was good. As for the price ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️’s. Tips: They offer some great coupon offers that are really reasonable. I recommend going for lunch to save a few shackles. 💵 Yum 🤤

This family owned restaurant was so special to me tonight! My boyfriend and I were exhausted coming home from a football game. We didn't know where to go and I had every intention of picking up fast food and taking it home. We saw a sign from the freeway that said Italian food and decided to take a chance on it. BEST DECISION EVER! The staff was absolutely amazing. I don't think I have ever received better customer service! They were knowledgeable about each dish, hand plated and packaged all our food for us when we were done. The salad is BOTTOMLESS and amazing with salami in it! The main dishes were a shrimp pasta special and baked rigatoni SO SO SO good! We got delicious Italian sodas and the desert at the end was so amazing! My boyfriend got a ricotta raspberry cheesecake and I got a decadent hazelnut chocolate cake! SO GOOD! The prices were so reasonable and you can sign up for the rewards points for 10% off every visit. We also bought gift cards as Christmas presents for the family because we loved the restaurant so much. Thank you so so much for a wonderful end to my day! Will be visiting again 💗

The food was great, the ambience was perfect and the staff service was very quick! Loved the place. We had a white sauce pizza, Alfredo pasta and the ravioli - all vegetarian and very delicious. Also suggest going there for a lunch on the weekdays since it’s super busy on the weekends, especially at night!

Value for the food here is good! Mussels, class by the pound were good in the sauce but the shells cold, drinks were very good, and our meals were decent but again very good value for the prices they charge. Definitely get the cannolis!

This was a nice Italian place that offers several different dishes. I would definitely eat here again and prefer it to anything available in the East Valley. Unfortunately it's a 45 min drive from where I live, but we'll worth it for a nice Italian meal.

Highly recommend this restaurant!! We were shocked by the wait time but after eating there I can see why it was so busy! We were so glad we decided to wait the extended time, definitely worth it! Everything was honestly perfect! Our waiter, Slater, was awesome! Such a cool dude, friendly, welcoming, attentive, and personable! Everything we ate was boasting with flavor and was beyond plentiful in quantity! Usually restaurants that offer larger dishes tend to lack in quality but RigaTony's excelled in all aspects! This is a bit of a drive for us but we will absolutely be back again!

The food is always delicious, the service is very good and the portion sizes for dinner are great . This place is very busy so wait times vary anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour on the weekends sometimes longer. We’ve been lucky to get a table for two during the week for lunch with no problem. This restaurant is very popular and families love to eat at RigaTony’s because it’s so good. The drinks are great as well. They do have a small bar area so you can order a drink while you wait for your table. The desserts are highly recommended. You can choose from any one or them and you won’t be disappointed. They should really think of expanding this restaurant to fit the amount of people they bring in and do some upgrading. I don’t even know if they use the outside dining area anymore.

Authentic, Mouth watering Italian Food. The Fried Ravioli is a must. Flavor explosion in your mouth! You have to end your meal with the Apple Bread Pudding! Just Amazing! The salad is so good as well. I love how they offer a low carb option with Zoodles zucchini squash noodles! From the Eggplant Parmesan, Chicken Alfredo, Seafood Pesto with Zoodles or Linguini to the Chicken With Lemon, Artichoke & Capers..everything is sooo good! You can't order anything wrong on this menu! This ain't you neighborhood Olive Garden...no..this place is better! From sitting outside on the patio on a fresh cool day to sitting inside with friends & family...this is where you want to be with your favorite people or that special someone. Because believe me...they won't be disappointed with the food here. It's memorable...and you will keep coming back for more! Enjoy!

I’ve been to a TON of Italian restaurants and none of them top this place. Absolutely everything was delicious from the Italian soda to the entrees we got. My boyfriend got an Italian margarita, BEST one we’ve ever had ! Our server was amazing as well. I look forward to coming back to Phoenix just for this place. 10/10
