Great food. Great service. A very old school vibe. Such an awesome dinner out. Thank you Rigatoni's!

This is my first time here. My friend has gone for years and I wanted to try it. We were greeted promptly and sat at a table . We were early so there were only 2 other people there. It's a charming family place and I can see why it's so popular. We were brought a basket of Italian bread with butter. The bread was cold, as was the butter, and it was slightly stale. Like it had been cut yesterday or early in the morning. I ordered the chicken parm ' light" lunchtime special for $10.95. It was pretty good, not great. The sauce was fine and but the chicken was a bit overdone. My friend always gets the chicken parm hot oven grinder. It was HUGE ! All in all, I would try again read more

Hidden gem of a family restaurant was pleasantly surprised . Comfortable atmosphere welcoming staff great food so many choices cannot wait to return. read more

Stick to the chicken and eggplant parm because those are definitely delicious. I thought I would try to be a little bit more healthy, and order the baked seafood platter. It was okay... but the stuffed shrimp was not very good. The stuffing wasn't too tasty or appealing, and the shrimp did not seem to go all the way under the stuffing. It was more like regular sized shrimp trying to be passed off as large shrimp. For the price, it was extremely disappointing. They were very generous with the bay scallops though. It's just not the place I would go to in the future for seafood. On a sidenote, it is a good thing I did not enjoy the stuffed shrimp and therefore didn't eat much of it because the imitation crabmeat that they use has carmine in it, which I am allergic to. read more

We came here with a group of people. We had reservations but were flexible with letting us come early. The staff was great, the food was delicious. It's a great family place and I will definitely come back! read more

take out horrible experience cashier named Victoria came extremely upset when I had to clarify that I wanted the lunch special to the point that she refused to wait on me and take my order. Another cashier came over and reiterated the fact that you have to specify if It's a lunch special Take out horrible service with miserable cashiers read more

Great spot for lunch, dinner, takeout or catering. An absolute clone of Uncle Tony's, from the menu to the recipes, the bread, the items, every single thing you loved there is here at Rigatoni's. So if you miss the Cranston location, it's about 15 minutes or so to get the same thing here, without any of the issues. I love the meatball and the chicken parm sandwiches. I love the garlic bread. The pizza is also great. Parking is occasionally a thing, but overall, this is an excellent place to get something to eat. Service is typically friendly and attentive and the prices are reasonable. In addition, they have a pretty extensive catering menu that is served in large tin, reheatable trays and you can order hot or cold. This is a great business. Try it, you'll love it. read more

Every course of the meal was incredible! The chef should be congratulated for doing such an excellent job! Our server, Alyssa, took great care of us and make sure that we had everything that we needed without being intrusive. Line, chicken soup, homemade fish and Italian dishes were both wonderful, and the desserts should not be missed! read more

Rigatonis Family Restaurant - Eggplant Capri special - Italian Near Me - Warwick, Rhode Island

Another great meal at Rigatoni's. Never had a meal we didn't like! Prices are reasonable, plate is plentiful. This is a great go - to restaurant. read more

These folks go out of their weight to make sure everyone is happy! They begin Initially with bread, water, and drinks, and then many of their ITALIAN specialties. The food deliciousness comes pouring out of the kitchen with great care by the waitresses. I have never had a bad meal. Everything is wonderful and I have turned so many of my friends and family onto this restaurant. The chefs do their best and offer delicious food over and over again. I cannot say enough as to how much I love this restaurant!! read more

Great staff and food ! We go here frequently for dine in and takeout ! We highly recommend Rigatoni's!

My wife and eat at Rigatoni's about twice a month. This place is a sleeper except for the Warwick locals who know how great the food is. The wait staff is exceptional friendly and knowledgeable about the food. They will substitute most anything on the menu for your convenience. read more

Don't know what to have for dinner tonight? Last time the family ordered out, it was fast food, expensive and not satisfying! Try Rigatoni's! Locally owned and run by some of the hardest and hardiest work and wait staff. When you enter the establishment for either order to go or dine in- you are pleasantly welcomed. Tight seating with a moderate noise level, the interior seating is tired and could use an update. The Hosts and waitstaff are eager to get you comfortable. Extensive menu, with more than reasonable sized portions; makes a much appreciated lunch for the following day! Prices are more than reasonable, which allows for a 20% + for tips... don't forget your bus boys!! Great to have meal out in public, fun conversation, no overload of tv s and to be appreciated for making the stop! read more

A great sauce, and fresh cheese. Crust was a little overcooked, so it could've been better. Reasonable priced and a separate waiting area for take out. read more

Whatever you do, don't order a tuna grinder. Really low grade fishy tuna. Other Italian things are ok.

Love the lunch specials!!!! The chicken parmigiana is the best here. Great food nice staff. Very clean restaurant. And the owner does wonderful things to support the community especially catering for school functions. read more

My wife qnd I have been here several times but the last two times have been disappointing. Service is great, waitresses are attentive and friendly. Casual atmosphere. Prices are very reasonable and I see a lot of seniors here in the early afternoon, I believe drawn in by affordable meals. All the bread and butter you need and free soft drink refills. My wife ordered the small antipasto that was under 10 dollars. It had a little of everything but only about a half slice of provolone, 1 slice each of salami and capicola . Again, it was just under 1en dollars. I usually get a sub, sausage and provolone from the oven, and a side salad. Salad and dressing were delicious but seems to have shrunk a little in size. The sausage sub was very disappointing plenty of cheese, very scant on the sausage. Pretty much a cheese sandwich. This restaurant is no longer worth the trip from Smithfield for us so We'll be looking for a closer restaurant. As always, worth a try if you're in the area so you can judge for yourself...mangia bene! read more

Great service and great food! I've lived here forever but never tried it until I heard about their meatballs.. yum!

My friends love it. I cannot honestly report as I was on a chemotherapy pill and couldn't get pasta 1/2 cup of soup at the time. But I have heard many good things about it . read more

Service and cleanliness were not a problem. The issue was the food. Calamari had chopped tomatoes and lettuce in it and was served with cocktail sauce, just odd. The seafood was frozen and the baked seafood platter was swimming in liquid. Pasta was served separately from the chicken parm and the meatballs and peppers. The small baking dish of pasta was barely enough for the meal. I've never had an Italian restaurant skimp on pasta. Very disappointing and won't be back. read more

We really like this place- the food is great and service excellent. The prices have definitely gone up as for so many places. We still go on occasion and find it good for all of us. read more

Went back just because. Again, my GF got a warm salad. I looked up at the ceiling. Dust balls, really big dust balls everywhere. Is the kitchen the same? Another in my party had the veal. She stated it was very good. Salad plates need to be kept cold. I would never serve salad on a warm plate. The wait staff was very nice and accommodating to everyone in the restaurant. read more

This is the worst restaurant in Rhode Island. Don't ever go here. I placed a takeout order recently and was told it would take 20 minutes. I ended up having to wait over 40 minutes to get my food. And literally the ENTIRE order was wrong. I order manicotti and did not get it. I ordered a grilled chicken salad and did not get it. I ordered bread and did not get it. I ordered plain ravioli with sauce and was given ravioli with cheese and chicken on top. How can a place make so many mistakes? Just pathetic. An absolute disaster and completely incompetent cooks and takeout register workers. I will NEVER return here ever again! read more

I gave never had a bad meal here. The waitstaff is always top-notch. My son and I went this past Friday night, 1/5/24, and it was no exception. We had the boneless Buffalo fingers to start, and they were absolutely delicious! For mains, I had the eggplant Sorrento special, and he had spaghetti and meatballs. Both were fresh, delicious, and exceptional. Our waitress, Emily, went out of here way to be helpful and make sure we had everything we needed. As far as I am concerned, this is one of the absolute best Italian restaurants in Rhode Island. read more

A long-established neighborhood restaurant. While the look may be dated, the staff is very professional, and our food was excellent. These people know what they're doing! I went specifically for the pasta in white clam sauce and loved every bite. We shared the tiramisu, and I don't know if they made it in-house, but it was superb. I will return given the opportunity. read more

First time eating out from Rigatoni's on Warwick Ave found a big black bug in my soup! I'm soooo disgusted right now!! WTF IM CALLING TO COMPLain, I feel like throwing up. read more

I would most definitely recommend and sometimes bring a friend here for dinner. The food is amazing and the service was great.

What a great place. This is a solid 3 star place and solid 4 star taking the staff into account. The food falls solidly in the middle of good! Which is good, meaning .... it's not the small Italian place on the corner in Federal Hill but it's not Papa Gino's either. We got backed cheese ravioli, baked lasagna, salad with shrimp on top and fettuccini Alfredo (no protein). And side salad which are extra. They start you with YUMMY white bread and real butter (sad you have to specify now, huh??) super sweet waitress took our order and the food is served in individual baked dishes. Which, I LOVE! It's ooey and gooey and crispy on top. It also keeps it nice and hot for a good amount of time. I tried everyone's except the shrimp on salad, it was what it was. And fairly nondescript. The lasagna had good amount of meat/sauce/ricotta ratio and I was surprised I liked it as much as I did! I even ate all the leftovers the next day. Is it your moms? No. Was it pretty damn good? I'd say alllllmost. it was tasty and I would go and get it again! The cheese ravioli was good - but unless you muck up the sauce you'd have to try hard to mess that up. The Alfredo fell short for me. The flavor was almost there, the sauce was a little Thin and lacked the deep rich and creaminess that should be there. More garlic too haha. For desert we got the tiramisu and Oreo cookie ice cream pie. I didn't like the tiramisu really at all. I can't even put my finger on it. But not my fav- maybe more ricotta ? But I did like the pie. mmm. I would definitely come here again, for a casual consistent meal with great help that score a perfect 10 on the queer-o-meter. Thanks for being a solid local Italian place with great staff. Cheers! read more

Since we've been under Corona home confinement, we've gotten Rigatoni's a few times. We have used them to provide our dinners for Easter and Mother's Day. The food has been outstanding each time. For those occasions we'e has the family size Chicken Francaise, Lasagna, Chicken Parm, Eggplant Florentine, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Cavatelli with Pink Vodka Sauce and Salad. All were well received. My favorites were the Chicken Francaise, the Cavatelli And vodka sauce and cavatelli....actually, as I go on, i really enjoyed it all. The folks at the counter are really mice when you pick up. They also have really tried to protect their customers by taking the social distancing and spacing to heart. Their pizza is also tremendous!! read more

Let me just start off by saying the "head chef"and "manager" Ryan doesn't know how to cook or manager restaurant. I went in there and got the chicken Caesar wrap with pretty much all lettuce NO Caesar dressing in it and maybe half of a chicken cutlet in each half. The second thing I got was a Italian sub that had some sick looking vegetables on it. The sandwich was left open therefore all of the oil and vinegar seeped through the paper and got everything else wet. Lemon cello cake should've been called the chalk cello cake the way it left the horrible taste in my mouth. Lastly even the bottle of Pepsi tasted old and flat. Needless to say. Don't go there people. Save your money. Jersey mikes subs are 100x better than this place. And if you have an issue Ryan gets all salty and defensive as if you're wrong. Needless to say patrons don't waste your time. Don't waste your money. I would rate this place a 0 out of 10 if I could. read more

The food is great there a little on the smaller side, but everything I had there makes up for it very good sauce and haven't had a bad meal there. I would recommend this place for anyone I know. The service is always great. read more

This has always been a happy place for our family. The food is consistently fantastic. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. We use to meet my parents at Rigatoni's often. My dad referred to it as that great fish place that does the potatoes the way I like it. My mom would pipe in with how great the eggplant was. They would then argue which dish was better until they were seated and eating. Great memory and great food. read more

This is most definitely my favorite pizza in Rhode Island. My husband and I are frequent pizza eaters and I have decided that Rigatonis is by far my favorite. Casertas, twins, Tommy's .. they are good but they just don't compare. read more

Love their chicken Parm very tasty pasta sauce has just the right balance of acidity their chicken escarole soup is good also. Great place to take the family for a inexpensive and well prepared meal. read more

Favorite go to Italian food. Always good. Daily specials include soup or salad. You can't go wrong here. It is great for basic southern Italian food. read more

I look through the reviews of this place and laugh. I read things ranging from people raving its the best Italian ever and others say it's inedible and overpriced. Here it is: Consistent decent food, a steady menu with good daily specials, redone interior, and EXCELLENT waitstaff. With that being said (factoring in that I'm Italian), it's Italian-American food. Not authentic Italian. Pasta, manicotti, parm, etc. Sauce is as good as sauce can be in a restaurant that caters to a variety of customers taste buds. It isn't that good home cooked gravy. Forget it! But their food is always consistently good. Never fantastic. Never bad. Ask for extra sauce if you're "that" person. And you'll get it! Prices are reasonable given the quality and portions. Their pizzas and grinders are super yummy. I like to get a Greek salad and a spinach pie with everything on it and stuff the salad in the spinach pie...sounds crazy but it's DELICIOUS!! read more

During the pandemic they really kept things going. The food did not falter and the staff was amazing. Postponed post pandemic they've picked right backup and are always on spot. There is not a bad dish on the menu. Everything is well prepared and well served. One of my favorite restaurants in Warwick. If you go to rigatoni's you will not regret it. read more

Pizza and pasta Rigatonis is a small Italian type family restaurant that's been around for a while. They remodeled and renovated a while back and although the inside is still pretty pain it's a lot more pleasant and not nearly as dated. This area is filled with pizza joints and Italian restaurant and Rigatonis sort of blends in with many of the rest, just simple and inexpensive food with quick and friendly service. The menu has quite a bit on it with luncheon specials available but is pretty much what's expected. You get some nice, fresh bread complete with real butter with your meal and decent size portions. No, nothing really stands out but then nothing we've had really disappointed either. A nice restaurant that gives good food at good prices and no surprises. read more

The soup and salad were Ok. We got the calamari appetizer. It was rubbery so we sent it back. The chicken marsala was overcooked to inedible dryness. The veal was average. It came w/ ham and mushrooms, and the ham was not Italian. I had a side of pasta w/ Alfredo sauce that was dreadful Maybe we were there on the wrong night but it was a terrible experience. If you care about food avoid this place read more

First off this review is not about their food. The food quality is good compared to anything else around here with the same type of food. The issue here is delivery service my family had a death and we asked Rigatonis to cater that affair, they agreed to so, but when it came to delivering the food to the hall they simply refused and said they could not due to Covid. Though they have been noted to deliver in the past for other things. This was a huge inconvenience to us. My family would have had to leave their "fathers funeral" in order to pick up the food. Thankfully, due to some good people that we know they volunteered to go pick up the food and deliver it to the empty location for the afters of our small gathering. There was no one , except for the one worker in the location and they refused to deliver the food. Though we had spent several hundred dollars. That is not showing compassion, cooperation for a family at a difficult time and in difficult times as it is. They come in contact daily with more people in their restaurant then they would have at this one facility. read more
