This was hands down the best food we had while visiting family. Our server Bonnie was great. Very friendly & fast. The garlic cheese bread was to die for it was so fresh. The toasted ravioli was the best I've had it years. Everyone enjoyed...their meal, spaghetti & meatballs & manicotti.More

Food is going down hill. Stopped there today for lunch, taste of the food had changed and not for the better. The house salads which I have always loved had so much cheese in it, it was almost gross. The spaghetti and meat sauce has...changed from the best at the lake to sauce overloaded with spice to almost sweet. Please quit changing a great tasting dishes from great to bad. You must hove changed cooks but it not for the better. After fifteen years of living at the lake I am about to give up Lil Rizzo ‘s.More

Food and atmosphere was great. Service was okay. Had an issue with the food which they resolved by not charging for the food which was agreeable to us. Will try again in the future and will recommend to others.

Order carry out pizzas. Crust was not typical pizza dough. It tasted and crunched like a saltine cracker, dry and tasteless, and there was very little sauce to help. There were nice but not generous toppings but the meats were not favorable. Overall disappointing

This place has the best Italian food anywhere! Everything on the menu is amazing. My favorite is sausage and peppers. Our kids come in from Omaha and it is the first place that they want to hit. Service is also excellent

We went there for lunch today and even though some items are deleted in the last year but have always loved the house salads. By far they were the best in the entire lake area. Boy were we shocked that that the dressing has changed...and not for the better. If you do anything Billy, ditch the new dressing and go back to the great one. Do not destroy which was the best item on the menu! Service was as great as always! Please change to original so we can look forward to coming back?More

We go to Rizzo’s every time we come down to our house. The food was tasty as usual. What set me off was what they charged for a house salad. $12…they charged me $12 for a house salad! If you want to pay $12 for...some iceberg lettuce, green onion, mozzarella and Italian dressing Lil Rizzo’s is the place to go!More

Enjoyed a Rizzo's salad and Supreme pizza which was loaded with toppings. The salad was exceptional and could be a meal in it's self. Highly recommend this restaurant.

This visit was only the second time we dined there after missing a couple years. Ashley was our waitress and she was so friendly and helpful in defining some questions we had about the menu. We decided to order the spaghetti with meatball and the...Alfredo con Pollo. Both were really delicious, definitely way better than Olive Garden. Both were accompanied by wonderful soft seasoned dinner rolls. Ashley "warned" us that the rolls were extremely popular and we might want more. We opted out of ordering soup or salad as we knew the portions were large. And while we both asked for boxes for our leftovers, we also ordered an additional 6 rolls to go. It was a cold snowy Friday evening so it wasn't crazy busy which enhanced our interaction with Ashley. Prices were very reasonable and the menu is varied with pasta, pizza, and sandwiches so there is something for everyone. And we definitely won't wait another two years to return!!More

I know they offer gluten free pasta...not sure about the pizza. Give them a call or text...they're very friendly.
