Reviews for Li'l Rizzo's Restaurant - Osage Beach in Osage Beach, MO

I'm assuming they were short staffed. Which happens a lot everywhere. I felt bad for the waitress. She was young and... obviously frustrated. The food was not good. Don't know if it was just an off evening or? Took 10 or 15 minutes to get aglass of wine. It was not crowded. Read more

This has been one of my go to places whenever visiting Lake of Ozarks. Have been here previously multiple times and have loved... the food and the vibe. This time I was a little disappointed as my expectations were not met. The food is still decent but notas before. We visited on a Saturday night and it was super busy. It felt like they were short staffed as we could see our serverbeing overwhelmed and juggling between multiple tables. The orders took forever to come out, even the appetizers and bread. Inour entree even though we ordered a medium pizza we were served a small one and was not cooked well. The seasoning was off. Ourserver was very nice and she corrected our order immediately. The pastas were good. I hope my next visit will not have the sameexperience. Read more

We stopped by on a Friday night with a party of 8 and were seated immediately. They seemed short staffed but did their best. The... appetizers were great and the main courses were pretty good. The reason for not having 5 stars was my tortellini Alfredo waspretty dang dry but had good flavor. The shrimp scampi was great. I would give them another shot. Read more

Came here with my kids plus two. The waitress explained they were short staffed and to bear with her. I full anticipated a long... wait but we ended up only waiting 20 min for all of our food. Everything was good and we all left full! Read more

I've eaten here several times and always had good food experiences. Different people in our party have menu items they love and... always go to like the manicotti or the spaghetti and meatballs. I like to try different things today I went with their specialtypizza. Pizza was delicious really liked the crust maybe slightly overpriced compared to other places however we had one of theschool district education cards so we had a buy one get one :-) Service can be slightly slower, I feel due to staffing issueswhich is beyond their control. But the servers have always been friendly and accommodating. Overall I would recommend this as agood place to go get a meal!???? UPDATE 8.7.22: came to eat after church. Seated right away. Service was not slow this time.Great server who was very helpful and attentive! From the spaghetti and meatballs to Alfredo pizza and a create your own pizza,everything was delicious!! Still a location to be recommended!!! Read more

The carbonara and 2 other pastas we ordered were amazing!!!!! There was no bread available for us though. Let me explain... we... got to the restaurant late. We did not realize that they closed at 9 and we got there 15 till. We apologized when we realizedit and were reassured by the employee that it was fine. We ordered our food and a to go order. The waitress was new and didn'tknow proper procedure. They stop making or serving bread before they close. We were not told about it and were not given anywith our to go either. We still paid full price for all of our food though. She apologized for us getting so upset and sentsome uncooked bread with us to cook for ourselves. Read more

Our waitress, Hannah, was amazing! She was very patient and extremely accommodatingto our large group with young children! Hannah made the dining experience excellent for our family! Read more
