" I can see why this place is so highly rated! My partner and I had a romantic dinner here last weekend. The ambiance was perfect with nice lighting and outdoor seating options. The shellfish was fresh and the service was attentive, creating an excellent evening for us. We also appreciated the drink selections which were diverse and high quality. A dream date night! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had very high expectations going into Rizzuto’s but unfortunately, they didn’t quite meet them during our visit. The ambiance was nice, but the food just didn’t have the wow factor I anticipated. The margherita pizza had overcooked tomatoes, which detracted from the experience. On a positive note, the service was quite friendly, and the drinks were strong. Maybe I caught them on an off night, but I expect more from such a highly rated restaurant. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a great time discovering this place. The food was fantastic, and our server was super knowledgeable about the menu, offering excellent recommendations. I had the scallop dish which blew me away! The fun atmosphere and warm vibe made our evening special. Looking forward to making another trip to Rizzuto’s! " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredibly well-crafted seafood at Rizzuto's. The grilled octopus appetizer was a standout, and everything tasted fresh. The rest of the meal was a culinary delight, but the experience was a bit marred by sluggish service. It took a while for our orders to come out, even when the restaurant wasn't too busy. Great food but need to enhance service speed. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great spot for seafood in a lovely setting! I stopped by for lunch while traveling through town and was not disappointed. The fish tacos were delicious — fresh and flavorful. The staff were friendly and made sure we were satisfied with our meals. It had a casual vibe perfect for a day out. Will be back if I’m ever in the area again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Rizzuto’s is my go-to spot for family gatherings! We’ve celebrated multiple birthdays here, and each time the food has been consistently excellent. The lobster rolls are always a favorite, and I can't sing enough praises for the service — the staff truly makes you feel welcomed. The atmosphere is both lively and cozy, perfect for a group of any size. Looking forward to our next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Not the best experience. The food we tried was decent but not outstanding. I ordered the pasta, and it felt underseasoned, while the lobster roll was good but not exceptional. Service was friendly, and the atmosphere was nice, but overall, we were hoping for more variety and flavor. It felt a bit overrated to me. " (*Curated Review*)
