The food was great and typical of Rizzo's. The red sauce is outstanding as is the house salad dressing. They were out of a few items when we were there for our 7:30 PM reservation. I know they are still trying to settle into this restaurant. But, we had plenty to choose from. The service was good and friendly. We miss the ambience of the old restaurant on New Road, though. It was like a neighborhood cafe. But I admit that it was sometimes overcrowded. This spot is much larger.

I've been a fan of Rizzos for years and was excited to try it again. Ordered my usual meal of pasta, vegetables etc but the meal was dry, had to add pesto to give it flavor. Bread was not as good as the site on Eggert road My husbands chicken parm was much better than my meal. Service was efficient. I will be back when the restaurant gets their act together and improve meals that have been on the menu for years.

I made reservations to take my wife out to dinner with the family as she's been wanting to try out this restaurant. We were quite shocked to pull up to an empty lot nobody around and a sign on the door saying closed for renovatios...... how can you take reservations even confirm were coming but not even be open........ made me look stupid and we were quite disappointed.

My reservation was for Friday March 15 at 5:30pm, Open Table texted and emailed me to confirm that I was coming the day before, which I replied YES , I"M COMING to! Got to Schnitzel & Co 10 minutes early and the parking lot was completely empty. I went up to the door and there was a sign: "Closed for renovations until Mid March" I called the restaurant only to get a message: "Thank you for calling Schnitzel & Co. We are open for dinner Wed thru Sat at 4pm...." Nothing about being closed for renovations. Very disappointed....very unprofessional! Open Table should NOT be accepting reservations for this restaurant!!

Said they were closing the next day, not sure if reopening very vague on the topic. Many items on the menu were not available. Just got the vibe no one wanted to be there. I was very excited to find a good German restaurant.

Fav restaurant on transit! We go here a couple times a month since they opened again and we love it. The food here is consistent and good quality. We always order sausages and chicken schnitzel and sauerbraten. Love the sides too but don’t typically order the apps. Awesome beer selection lately it’s a little confusing what they do and don’t have but still good pick overall. The servers here are always fantastic as well

Service was slow, food was over cooked. Seemed short
The food was average. The Burger was not good. Over cooked and so greasy. Dripping with oil. Thought it would be flame broiled. I think it was pan fried?

No one in our party really liked the food all that much. Here's the truth, if you want a German pub just for the sake of something different, and that's totally fine, then this may be perfect. We had lived in Germany several years and we're hoping for reasonably authentic food to, you know, bring back all those happy times... But we didn't find it. So, we were disappointed. It's clean, the service is nice, the beer list is okay, I think there's a lot of things to like, but we were just disappointed by the experience because I think we are hoping for more than could be delivered. We knew we were in trouble when the two kinds of mustard on the table were Frenchs and Webers.... Which isn't to talk trash about these two fine products, just to say that we were maybe expecting something a little more special from a German restaurant.
