Reviews for Mama Riso's Restaurant in Lake George, NY
Food is excellent! I had the Penne with grilled chicken. They gave a very generous portion , my husband had Veal Sorrentine,... excellent! My granddaughter had tortellini, also very good. Our waitress Roxanne was awesome. She went back to the kitchen to give us heated bread because my husband had asked. We didn't expect to get it. Read more
The food was okay. Average Italian, nothing special. Found it odd when the waitress asked if we wanted the regular linguine or... the fresh linguine for $4 extra. Also, they served what was said to be gelato, but it was not creamy, only frostbite and coveredin a mound of spray can whipped cream. And the thing that was most odd was that to be seated, we were walked through a roomwhere there were children's shoes all over the floor. Last, in a space on the wall above our table, was a bottle of PVC cement. Read more
I ordered my meal with homemade linguine. My meal came out with plain spaghetti. I asked the waiter about it and he said that... the meal was correct and since my wife also ordered the homemade linguine, I asked why it was different and he said hers wasfettuccine and dismissed the problem. I asked him to check and he came back and said it was regular linguine. He tried tocorrect it and came out with a bowl of plain homemade linguine with nothing on it. I asked for sauce since the sauce, clams, andshrimp had been sitting there getting cold, but he brought out plain sauce. I asked for the manager. We stated why wasn?t thedish remade? She came out and said she would prepare it again. She took the old dishes away. She brought a new meal out but itappears that they just put together the same food and microwaved it. The clams were shriveled up and the shrimp was stringy and tough (what happens when microwaved). They threw some garnish on it to no avail. It was terrible. Read more
All 3 of our meals were cold, from the pastas to the steak. A-1 steak sauce had a best use bt date of 12/31/2017!! The waitress... was very nice and said the owner would come over. After 20 min. we asked for the check. Owner came, so insincere..heard you hada problem? Want a dessert? No apology. We're tourists and they don't care if we come back, which we won't Read more
We have been to this italian place before post and pre pandemic. Went here on 7/25/2022 with my family on our last day of Lake... George vacation. First off, there was a line at the door, as someone reserved a party of 9, but got seated right away as soon bya passing server. the party of 9 got sat, and then we were a party of 3. They did put us by several other people, now i was okaywith that, but some others may want some room between them and others just to be cautious. Server did take a while to greet us,but that is okay as we were looking at the menu anyways. We got waters, ginger ale, and an orange italian soda which my mom saidwas okay. We ordered as follows: i got the Ciuppino which was scallops, clams, mussels, and shrimp with pasta, my dad got theseafood fridivo medium, and my mom got veal parm. Our meal came with salad or soup, and kudos to Sarah our server for knowingthe specials, and all the soups- as well as remembering my dressing on the side. Bread was good, salad was good, and my food wasvery good! i ate all my mussels, and clams, as well the pasta. The pasta is a small portion tho but i liked it because i canfocus on the other food and not worry about a pound of pasta over it. pricewise was okay. Hopefully will be back next year! Read more
It has to be the best Food in all of lake George. The staff was kind and courteous. And when I asked for chef to come out to... tell him how good it was he was there and very thankful. I would go back over and over again. Best food I had on this trip. Me and my husband are from NY by Brooklyn and this is the best food right up there with that. Great experience Read more
The food was very good, the stuffed squash flower was delicious! We enjoyed the meal! ????They do charge a surcharge for using a... credit card which was not noted anywhere on the menu! Read more
We have been going to this restaurant for years, as my children, grandchildren and I vacation in Lake George often. The waiter... was not accommodating, and he made it obvious he doesn?t appreciate children. My daughter chose this restaurant for her 30thdinner, and unfortunately it was a negative experience. The waiter never checked on us during our two and a half hour stay, yethe appeared annoyed when we asked for anything. The manager (possibly owner) was rude and even argumentative towards mydaughters when one disliked a drink. We were shocked at how unprofessional she behaved. Needless to say, we will have anotherbirthday dinner elsewhere. Read more
