The parking can be a bit difficult to secure an easy spot as it's usually quite busy- so be sure to have a reservation! The Greensburg spot also has a unique upstairs seating area that we like to have if possible. Now for the main event- the food- it's amazing! From salads to pasta to pizza, you won't be disappointed. The whipped butter served with the bread is worth shouting out too! The chicken Parmesan, Alfredo, and pasta alla vodka were all delicious in the past- I would order any of them again. Our most recent visit we got to try the pizza and it was amazing! We haven't stopped talking about it since. Definitely do not bypass the pizza on your visit!

Service was extremely disappointing. We had reservations at 4 PM so the restaurant was not busy. We…read morewaited nearly 20 minutes before anyone even approached our table. Eventually I had to go to the hostess and let her know that we'd been sitting there the entire time without even being offered water. She did go inquire after our server, who then came over and took our order. So already our experience was tainted. Things seemed fine after that, but once we finished our meal we ordered dessert to go. The server brought boxes for our leftovers, took the dessert order, and then disappeared. Our party of five had to leave, and I was left sitting at the table with a toddler about 15 minutes after the meal ended waiting for the check. She eventually returned and apologized, saying she couldn't find the cake we ordered and had to go look for it. She then asked if we wanted bags for our to-go containers, after everything had already been packed up. Normally, the containers and bag are brought to the table together for leftovers. The last thing we wanted to do was wait another 10 minutes for bags for our leftovers. Overall, the experience was frustrating and poorly handled.

I really wanted this place to be a 4 or 5 star establishment. We wanted Italian/pasta near where we…read moreare staying. We searched on it and honestly not a lot of results. Rizzo's just sounded like it was going to be great Italian. I always ask our server what they recommend - and I tell them the kinds of things I like and what sounded good to me from the menu. Our Server admitted she probably couldn't be of much help. What!?! You work here and your job is to know your menu and provide suggestions and guidance. First, the appetizer section was pretty limited. We skipped it altogether. For entrees, after reading reviews on their homemade fettuccine Alfredo- we went with that and another similar fettuccine dish after the waitress steered me away from 2 other specialties from the menu (lasagne and something else). She brings bread out and it's cold white bread. Tasted good, but nothing special. Then our pasta arrives, and the Alfredo has a different look and texture to it, which is fine. The other pasta has steamed veggies and chicken (added w/upcharge). This pasta dish was unbelievably hot. Nuclear. I was either the steamed veggies or it was microwaved because nothing comes off the stove as hot as this was. We stated on the Alfredo, and it was fine. Nothing special and nothing to go back for. The cheese used was different, maybe a whipped light and fluffy cheese?? It was fine - I'd give it a 3.5- but I've had better Alfredo at chain restaurants. The other pasta dish took so long to cool off that the Alfredo was almost gone by the time we could eat it. I'm not exaggerating- it was nuclear hot. That dish ended up being just Ok too. So that summarizes our experience with Rizzo's. After the entrees, we declined hearing about the desserts and paid the bill and left. Prices are fair and reasonable. I would not tell anyone that this is someplace you gotta try

The food was as good as it could be for south western PA. The french onion soup was good. Cheesy and many onions. I liked it. The angel hair was very overcooked and very mushy. I'm not sure what i was thinking as angel hair is hard to cook so maybe stick to the spaghetti. I would recommend the lunch portion over the dinner portion. The meatballs were spiced well and had a nice texture. The sauce was not too sweet but a bit bland. After the soup i really only ate 1 meatball. The stuffed pasta with vodka sauce was good.

The interior has an overall modern feel and tables are well spaced out so you don't feel overcrowded. Portions are generally really large (which is great, because food is pretty pricey). I've been able to make two or three meals out of one entree here. Overall, service is pretty good but can be hit or miss. There was one day that I think they must have been having an off night because everyone seemed crazy stressed and very short with us when questions were asked. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the side salad was. It was a great balance/mix of ingredients with delicious dressing. My main entree (Strozzapretti) was tasty but a bit seemed like there was a bit too much grease/oil or something that made the dish seem heavier than it needed to be. In general, a tasty place but could improve if service was more consistent.

I really enjoy that the pasta is fresh and the menu isn't 40 pages long. It's straight to the point and you know what you're getting based on what is listed under the pasta shape. My short rib ricotta gnocchi was good but I do wish it had a bit more salt to bring more of the flavor to the front. The gnocchi texture was perfect and pillowy. The short rib mixed in nicely with all of the pasta and the sauce. My spouse enjoyed the cannelloni, which was pretty much their lasagna but also wanted a bit more salt. Our server was very nice and walked us through the menu options as well as told us about the seafood special for the night. The bread came out first and was delicious. The salad was also good and I don't usually like arugula. You could tell the ingredients were fresh and I enjoy that they take the time to do that. The space is very cute and you can't really miss it even with it being in an executive building. It's a smaller area but it can seat a good amount of people. We noticed they had a pasta making class so maybe next time we're in town, we can do it. The red sangria had a great balance where it wasn't too sweet. We didn't do dessert but we did enjoy the digestif at the end with limoncello and my spouse ate the amaretti cookies as I couldn't.

The space can get a bit loud with high ceilings and a full house, but the lively energy reflects how much people are enjoying the experience. Service was friendly and helpful with suggestions. The owner even stopped by tables to check on guests. It's tucked inside an industrial park and may be a little tricky to find if you're unfamiliar with the area, but GPS and signage get you there without much trouble. Definitely worth the visit!

It's living up to its…read morename the 74 year old chef can only prepare so many meals in the night so expect to call an advance for reservations. With 50 years of experience (he and his wife own this place), you can take advantage of the twilight of his career and the height of his experience. Flavio's is a dress-up sit-down fine dining experience. It was clean, with ample parking in its private lot next door. Lots of one-way roads so be aware of that. We arrived at 4:55. Could not go inside until 5:05. We had reservations. The place started to fill up to 50% capacity (10 tables total, maybe 20 could be fit if needed) around 6:30pm. Somehow we left around 7:45pm, even though our main course was finished at 6:30pm. This is an experience, not a quick bite to eat. There is a bar but you can't just walk in and go there. Everyone was seated in the dining room, which has two parts. My 79 -year old father was told that this was the best filet mignon in the entire United States and I agree that it is very well done perfectly medium rare at request with a crusty exterior and perfect grill marks. The seafood and gnocci pasta plate looked amazing but was enjoyed by someone else at our table, but it looked really good. Everything has an upcharge so expect to drop some cash. Get the Petite Syrah no 48 wine to compliment your dinner. You won't regret it. We had the seasoned potatos, it's OId Bay seasoning, similar to steak fries but made from a baked potato. Very nice. We had the broccoli, it was wonderful. I had the caeser salad, it was fine. Lots of cheese and anchovies are an option. We had it with our meal. Upcharge $5 ... People liked the italian dressing on their house salads but it was nothing spectacular or memorable. Upcharge $5 .. they also offer the classic "Wedge" salads as an option for $7. The standard marinara was nothing to write home about. My wife complained her Chicken Provencial was too sweet. Her side of penne alla marinara was boring. The gnocci was great though. Have the gnocci. For my side, I paid an upcharge of $7.50. The spaghetti or linguine or whatever it was was obviously a prepped reheat, whereas the gnocci were made on the spot, and the penne is the standard side so at least it was made that night. I had the puttanesca. It had too many onions, but the olives were nice. My default choices were penne or gnocci with marinara, or a potato (baked or "seasoned" as fried sticks). Dessert: We shared a piece of cheesecake with the table, and it tastes like tiramisu. I had to force the rest of it down since no one would finish it. It had a spongy tiramisu-like bottom and was flavored of lemons. I suspect it was made in house. My wife had the Spumoni. She liked it but didn't finish it. I had the Jamaican Coffee (liquor coffee drink). It was fine but overall not necessary to finish your meal and very sweet. We had the oysters (broiled). Good. I personally like them "on the half shell" but no one was willing. 6 oysters. We had the shrimp cocktail. Nice shrimp, great horse radish. 5 shrimp. We tipped well. Over 30% because how much longer this place will be in operation is anyone's guess. It's possible, if you are choosy, to spend less than $50 on your meal but we spent well over that each. Four people $313 with a lot of upcharges and top-end dishes, a bottle of Syrah, 1 beer, desserts and three apps and everyone got a salad (cost extra). Oh yeah the bread. It was fine. Reminiscent of "Mancini's" .. hard crust fluffy airy interior. Was not the most amazing bread but it fit the place.

Lovely Italian restaurant. Great menu, authentic food (some if not all of the pasta is imported…read morefrom Italy), and a nice homemade feel. I got to try the Sfogliatelle, vodka pasta, salad, and bread. I just live when places like this give bread, and high quality bread at that. Super soft and high quality. Add ons like that do really elevate the experience. And a solid side salad as well, with plenty of cheese but not very varied vegetable wise. The pasta itself was amazing. Very generous portion. A good amount of sauce, although not super evenly distributed. Perfect pasta and a really good, balanced vodka sauce. Really enjoyed this. The Sfogliatelle, it was my first time trying anything like this. It wasn't super sweet or all that flavorful at all, and was somewhat small. A bit lemony. Not sure if I'd have it again, but I loved the little crunchy sides and it was still pretty good. Overall, definitely a hidden gem in Murrysville. Loved the spot.
