We were told that this Italian restaurant is run by Mexican owners. They do a good job. Carafe of Chianti $49. Good Vitello Parmigiana $36. Very good and large portion Gamberi E Cape Asante $37. Shrimp and scallops. Very good Raspberry gelato $10. Good but I think it was sorbet. Service by Huguini was very good. read more

They shouldn't be open for lunch with a menu $26.00 for spaghetti..!!! Only a diner menu available. We left and went somewhere else for a delicious, delightful, fresh food, reasonable price close by to this restaurant. read more

Fantastic Italian food! I'm definitely not a wild Italian fan as you can tell from my reviews, however this classic restaurant checks all the boxes. Had the prosciutto and veal and it was rich and balanced, and one of the best I've had anywhere. Also had the fettuccini with the shrimp and scallops. The scallops and pasta were perfect. I would never have guessed that the seafood would be comparable to the Bay Area. The shrimp were a little undercooked however. The house Cabernet was very good, as were the branded Italian reds. The bread was also very good and the oil was fresh. Service was a little mixed but it was Valentine's so expected. That cuts to the few negative reviews for this restaurant. This is a small town with really one top restaurant. It's going to be busy. Be patient or pick another restaurant. read more

There pizza is top notch love the dough and freshness of the sauce and the fettuccine Alfredo is amazing.. The service is so great always a 10. The ambience is amazing whether it's at lunchtime or evening love this place it's the best. read more

We were seated quickly. The servers were friendly and took our drink orders quickly. The bread basket was tasty and arrived with our drinks. Our dinners were just okay. The ravioli was tough and required a knife to cut. The veal was also on the tough side. Our 2 chicken dishes were fine. read more

Came here with my parents for dinner with a reservation. We were seated quickly but it took almost 15 mins for a server to come by. Service was friendly but noticeably slow the entire time we were there. The bread basket was good and filled with warm Texas toast and foccacia. My eggplant parm was alright, a touch over fried, but the pasta was cooked nicely. Ambiance was okay, looks like they updated parts the space somewhat recently but other areas seemed a bit dated. Overall okay Italian place in a town with limited dining options. Definitely caters to the 55+ community, and it was cleared out by 8pm. read more

Ragazzi - Eggplant Parmigiana - Italian Near Me - Green Valley, Arizona

I've eaten here twice when visiting a friend who lives in Green Valley. This is your classic kind of Italian restaurant that offers all the favorites you'd expect. I'm a fan of the tasty Petto di Pollo, which is basically Chicken Parmigiana. The staff here is attentive. The restaurant has nice booth seating. It's a good idea to make a reservation as this seems to be a neighborhood favorite and is usually busy when we've gone. read more

I'd say 3.5 stars is more accurate, so I'm rounding up a bit here. Small cozy restaurant that seems very popular with Green Valley locals. Kind of had the vibe of a place to "be seen." The bar is super cute with a neon blue light adding some unique ambience. We were seated in the main dining room at the very back booth, which was perfect for us, since we had our 1 and 3 year olds with us. Restaurant wasn't super kid friendly--no kids' menu or activities for kids to do while waiting. The server was hustling. It appeared he was taking care of the whole dining room, with some assistance from the host. While a small restaurant, it was an impressive feat as almost every table was full. My husband and I both got pasta which comes with your choice of soup or salad. I got the penne bolognese and my husband got the meatballs. Garlic bread came out first and it was fine--fresh and hot. My husband and I each got the salad with Italian dressing, and it comes with tomatoes, black olives, and chick peas. It was okay. The star was the bolognese. I thought it was delicious. Both of my kids loved it too. I would definitely get that again. I would have loved some fresh Parmesan on my pasta, but neither the host nor the server came back to offer that. Our kids were getting really antsy so I had to get out of there with them while my husband took care of the bill. The shopping center it's located in is fun to walk around but there was lots of dog poop on the grassy areas. If I'm in the area and craving Italian, I would definitely come back! read more

Stopped by just for an appetizer to try out the place. It was good but 22$ for just this was crazy. read more

Ragazzi - Just wanted to try an appetizer since we were in the plaza. Calamari was good. But this little bit for 22$ is crazy - Italian Near Me - Green Valley, Arizona

I am Italian and grew up on authentic Italian food. This is not authentic Italian food. Everything is over done with tomatoes. The pasta is overdone and mushy. The Alfredo sauce is watery and flavorless. The service was slow and they were not busy at the time. The garlic bread was good and also the salad. The inside is a little outdated. read more

I took my best friend and another friend to Ragazzi to celebrate her birthday tonight. The food was adequate, prices were high, service was horrible. We got seated, got water and bread. Got ignored until I waved down a waiter, 3 of whom were standing around the bar doing nothing. Finally got to place our cocktail order. Ragazzi is supposed to be the classiest restaurant in Green Valley. Pathetic! I won't go back again. In spite of the fact that I mentioned it was her birthday, they didn't do anything -- not even a simple scoop of ice cream with a candle in it. Green Valley -- we must be able to do better than this! Pathetic! read more

Great food , great service, great wine. We had an early dinner today. We each had a glass of wine, Ziin and Riesling, very good. The Caprese salad was good, tasty, nice presentation. The breads were excellent. I had ribeye,, cooked to perfection, tender and delicious! I had a Caesar salad, excellent! The steak came with mashed potatoes and asparagus. , again expertly prepared and delicious. My friend has a side salad, veal piccata with spinach. She said it was perfect. The music was appropriate and not too loud. Our servers were attentive and very professional. We will be back! read more

Food was excellent as always. Service a little rushed. Wish we were able to do reservations on open table app.

Went for a late lunch and the place was empty to service was great. The server was very friendly and accommodating. The food was amazing as usual. I had the Gamberi E Cape Santa (wow a mouth full) , and it was amazing. This dish had perfectly cooked scallops and shrimp in a garlic sauce that I wanted to drink, but didn't. It also had Fettuccine Alfredo topped with asparagus which was also amazing. I will definitely be back. If you are in Green alley or traveling through and want some amazing Italian food give them a try, you won't regret it. read more

My wife and I celebrated our 34th wedding anniversary on Saturday 4-25 and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The meals were delicious and the service very good. We enjoyed being seated next to a group of prom night kids dressed to the 9's. They too had a great time and not once did we overhear a single swear word uttered by them. Now that "dress codes" are making a comeback to the fine dining establishments we too suited up. It's so much better for all diners after 6. I think Ragazzi's should turn the bar seating area into the room for all of the "After 6" patron's stepping it up. The best food and service in Green Valley! read more

Ragazzi's is our favorite place to go in Green Valley for a fine dining experience here at home. We are never disappointed in the quality or service. They try so very hard to be an up-scale restaurant and could easily achieve that if it weren't for the rudeness of so many of their patrons. Men, how hard is it to don a button-down shirt and slacks. Women, how hard is it to put on a dress or pantsuit and for gawds sake some makeup. Show respect for yourselves and others and dress appropriately. I advise Ragazzi to put in place a dress code for after 4pm. No shorts, no flip flops, no tee shirts etc etc. For those people unwilling to comply, the 19th Hole is a short walk, and we'd all be more comfortable if you'd go there, or anywhere else. It's all about respect for the venue, others and yourselves. Do better Green Valley, esp you midwestern snowbirds. You know who you are. read more

Very expensive, average to poor service, dining area small not a good experience won't be returning

Rigazzi is my favorite restaurant in Green Valley and a great place to go for date night. I had the Petto d'Pollo Fior d'Latte (Breaded Chicken Breast, Topped with Spinach, Fresh Mozzarella, and Tomatoes, in a Spicy Creamy Sauce. Served with Fettuccine Alfredo) and this was quite possibly the best chicken I have ever had. My wife had the Salmone De Piccata (Salmon Sautéed in a Lemon White Wine Sauce with Capers. Served with Parmesan Mashed Potatoes and Asparagus) which she really enjoyed. I also thought the Montes (Cabernet Sauvignon, Colchagua Valley, Chile) which was excellent as was the service. read more

Small establishment with good Italian food but the prices have increased and the portions have decreased! Was somewhat shocked when they brought out my eggplant parmigiana! 2 small slices of eggplant and a very small portion of pasta. The meal did not appear to fill much more than 1/2 of the plate! Maybe they should buy smaller plates or increase the portions. read more

We thoroughly enjoy the food here! A nice touch with the bread and oil and balsamic vinegar to start the meal. Full pitcher of water at the table. And the food has always been great. Probably a bit pricier than most restaurants in town, but you are getting a quality and tasty Italian meal! Their veal osso bucco is fantastic! The minestrone soup is perfect! We try to go there on a regular basis! read more

Basically, the service in lackluster, misleading. Food is average or below compared to Tucson's restaurants. Three visits, won't be back until there is a ownership change. read more

I love the atmosphere here. The food is fine. But they have markedly raised their prices to those fitting for a high end steak house. At the same time, they have a lot of young, inconsistently wait staff, and the combination of very high cost and so-so service is a turn off...I was a regular customer, year-round patron. There are Italian restaurants in Tucson which do offer a fine dining experience at appropriate prices. read more

Excellent food and superb service made for a delightful meal. The restaurant feels classy, with an old-school type vibe. I hadn't been in several years and was so happy to dine there again. The menu is big and they have many vegetarian items, which we appreciate. We drive over an hour to dine here and it's definitely worth the time. I'll choose Ragazzi for my birthday celebration next month. It feels special because it is special. read more

The environment, the service and the food were all excellent. This was my first time here and our experience was absolutely fantastic. I feel like this place is a hidden gem down here in Green Valley. I would come here again for sure. read more

Food was great (sea bass) waiters double charged me for meal , corrected that when I brought it to their attention. Corrected bill had double glass of wine when I only had one. Brought it to their attention again , next bill the wine was $4 over the menu price. .....are the books balancing??? read more

Last night I had butternut squash ravioli which was the chefs special and it was delicious!! I am a sucker for butternut squash! The interior has been updated and is lighter and brighter. Looks great! They have new light fixtures and the new lighting above the bar is the same I have over my kitchen island!! great taste!!! read more

Wow! Just wow!!!! Just walking up to building I was excited by the smell of garlic in the air lol Soooooo delicious! From the soup and bread, to appetizers, mains, and dessert! I was floored! Service was good, very clean atmosphere and a good vibe! I had the tomato soup which was to die for and the chicken parm with Alfredo....Best Alfredo I've ever had and the chicken was perfection. So happy I found this restaurant so close to home and don't have to travel far for amazing food!! read more

Ragazzi - Italian Near Me - Green Valley, Arizona

1st class restaurant It's sad that the posted letter by the complainant is the first thing that comes up in Yelp... I had a spinach salad with chicken- belisima My sister got 6oz chicken and fettuccine--- The food is exceptional! What a nice place in green valley. And right behind the Blood and cancer center. The servers were on top on the service! And lovely fresh Parmesan! We plan to return- it's our last radiation treatment. We hope. But it we have to go to green valley for anything Ragazzi -- it's the flavor. read more

This little hidden gem in Green Valley is some of the best Italiano Food I've ever had. The restaurant is in a shopping center / business center. The restaurant has a welcoming feeling like you just got to a friend's mom's house for dinner. Very inviting. The food was excellent. The bread is addictive one is the popular garlic bread toast and the other is some sort of rosemary bread both delicious. The tomato bisque was so ridiculously good I swear it tasted more like lasagna soup than tomato bisque and that's a win for me. I love lasagna soup the tour of Italy dish that we shared had very decent portions. Chicken Parmesan was cooked perfectly. It was not dry when you cut into. The fettuccine Alfredo lasagna, my favorite I am all for pastas, and these did not disappoint so so good. And the service was amazing. We had a great waiter. I honestly don't remember his name but he was great. read more

We love Ragazzi's. The food and service make it a special place for a special dinner.

Expensive for what you get. Rubbery shrimp is a huge red flag. Small portions for big money. I ordered the veal: 3 small, thin, overcooked pieces. Tough and chewy. Felt like a scam. Waiter offered more tonic water for my gin & tonic: never in my life have I ever even heard of that. read more

The food was very good. The service, not so much. It was a busy night while we were there, but our waiter seemed to forget about us after taking the order and the order was mixed up on several levels. read more

Service was excellent. My wife ordered Chicken Marsala. It was horrible. I think they just put a chicken breast and poured maple syrup on it. The chef should be embarrassed to plate out in that manner. read more

Italian food is always good. I wanted a good cut of steak and it was 69.95. I really felt that was way too much but I should have paid the price because my Italian dish wasn't what I really wanted. I will go back again when I only want Italian and a 17 dollar glass of wine. read more

We recently moved to Green Valley. My Mom visited for my birthday and we chose this place for my birthday dinner. I selected the $45.00 lobster dinner--the display was underwhelming and the tail was over-salted, bad news since I'm on dialysis. My mom received chilled soup, then lukewarm ravioli. My wife ordered filet mignon and it was decent. Service was sluggish, wine wasn't served properly. For the huge dinner ticket, could have gone elsewhere at half the price for better. read more

Thought I would try this fake Italian restaurant again after a year hopping it would have changed but the food is still Very poor and the service followed the food POOR. Try a restaurant in Tucson that has real Italian food read more

Our 4 th time here. Excellent in every way. They have changed the bread away from a focaccia, but it was still yummy and everyone loved it. The service was slow tonight. They are always busy, but it was good food and we will be back. Highly recommend l. read more

This was one of those places which, if you're staying in Cottonwood for a few days and you want a special meal, is a must do. Expansive space overlooking the entire area. Choice of either inside or patio-like outdoor seating (we did the latter). Nice menu, large portions, attentive service. read more

Had a real nice lunch. My wife had a grilled chicken salad that was fresh and tasty. Big enough for two. I had their pizza and it was excellent. Wood fired oven makes the difference. read more

Food is a solid 4 & the service is a TEN PLUS! Amazing, friendly, helpful, & courteous staff. Definitely one of the better places to eat in Green Valley. My husband had the calamari, I had the tomato basil soup & lasagna. read more
