The worst wings I've ever had. They were so dry I could hardly eat them. Never got the complimentary biscuits that we saw at every other families table. Saw our waiter twice when she brought or drinks and then when she brought our food out. My friend threw up her food a couple hours after we ate. I'm mostly just upset that I bought 12 wings instead of 6.

Food was good. We got there an hour before closing. Only 6 other people in the restaurant. Our waitress didn't come over for 15 min. And we didn't get our food till 10 min before they closed. There was only 4 of us and 3 of the 4 ordered the same dish.The waitress was nice but flustered

The food was good everyone loved the ciabatta rolls warm from the oven. My pasta was delicious and cooked just right and our waitress was super friendly and helpful, great service friendly family atmosphere. We will visit when we return.

I haven't been in many years but I still hve many fond memories of this place. The fettuccine defined white sauce for me for a long time. I would travel to LOO just to eat at rizzios again.

Ordered chicken tenders that I've always enjoyed. This time they were so overdone I thought I was going to break a tooth eating them. Very disappointing.

We were visiting the area and wanted a nicer dining experience near our resort. By the dishes on the menu online and the outside of the restaurant it looked like we would get that. The food was delicious, especially the sauce on my manicotti and my husband’s steak, however the atmosphere was more of a quick casual than fine dining with metal tables, cheesy ‘70s and ‘80s music, and bright lighting. It felt like a cross between Fazoli’s and Olive Garden, not what we wanted for an anniversary dinner. It could be a great spot with some upgrades, though.Kid-friendliness: Menu choices like pizza and louder atmosphere.
We Came To Area From Maumelle Arkansas To Celebrate My Birthday On Monday .. The Food & Service Was Very Good.

Li’l Rizzo’s was one of the only decent looking restaurants in the area when my family and I were visiting Lake Ozark. That, and we all love Italian food so of course we wanted to try them out!The restaurant is in a very nice location. It’s right next to the lake and the views are absolutely stunning! I like that they have both indoor and outdoor seating options. Of course we opted to sit outside so we could enjoy the view.Our waitress came out to get our drink order fairly quickly. Honestly I’m not sure if she was having an off day but our experience with service was strange. Our waitress seemed to be all over the place during our entire dining experience.I ordered a Georgia peach drink which ended up tasting a bit off. Like it wasn’t made properly. Definitely nothing like other Georgia peach’s I’ve gotten before. They were out of a few different beers my husband wanted to try as well. I think he ended up going with whatever their seasonal beer was at the moment.For food my husband and I shared their tortellini Alfredo and a small supreme pizza. The food was decent! Kind of tasted like any commercial restaurant food. Nothing really felt homemade with them, it’s like it was all pre-made and just warmed up.The only real positive about Li’l Rizzos is the gorgeous views of the lake. The food is a bit subpar in my opinion and the service was lacking. Probably wouldn’t be back if we ever visited Lake Ozark again. I’d hope there’s better restaurants in the area.

Very clean and nice atmosphere but food was more bland than I figured for Italian food. I'll try again.
