Reviews for RigaTony's Authentic Italian Restaurant in Tempe, AZ

The ambience is amazing. You walk into an authentic atmosphere of the "old country". Italian dining with an upbeat hustle and... bustle.. The bar is buzzing with entertainment of tvs to watch the games on. The bartender mixing up the drinks and the serversdelivering the entrees..... We started the meal with some fried zucchini absolutely perfectly sautéed. A great appetizer tostart the dinner off, then followed by a salad with some bread. Dinner was served and again, another deliciously made lasagnaplate. Not burnt, but melted together with the meat and cheese all blended nicely together. The only thing missing wouldve beena nice glass of Rosati wine. I would definitely recommend this place for either a lunch time meal or a end of a beautiful daywith a great dinner.. Read more

Absolutely a good Italian meal place to dine in. Family style and easygoing vibes. Their salad is hand tossed, fresh and... creamy. The steak and shrimp meal is very delicious cooked. The mushroom and green beans really add a good tasty layer. Thestaff is very friendly too, again making it relaxed family dining place. Read more

The food is not just delicious but also huge!!! If you can't imagine how huge it is, imagine you go back to your grandma's house... after you go to college, you tell your grandma "I need a small dish, I need to lose weight." and your grandma smile and bringyou a huge plate of pasta. This is how I feel when I saw the "appetizer" come. the decorations are cute and sweet, the outsidelooks like a small vineyard restaurant in Italian. The host and waiter are super friendly, and knowledgeable. Everything is soperfect, the bee's knees are great for a start, and with fresh lemon, you can smell it. Salad is in the bowl, a huge bowl, whichI thought they bring the Mixing Bowls from the kitchen. that pizza is the appetizer, so good, that we have to stop eating afterwe each have 2 slices, cause if we finish the appetizer, we will be full. sausage pasta and chicken pasta are great! creamysauce and chicken is not dry, and has a chewy texture that has a bounce to it when chewed. If you wanna any family meal, andlooking for Italian food, this is the place you should go. Read more

Woow!! One of the best Italian restaurants I have ever been to!! Food was just amazing, service was beyond amazing "quick and... very efficient and friendly" Food was just one of the best I ever had, we ordered Lobster ravioli and tour of Italy and it wasway more than enough we couldn't even finish quarter of our food from how big the portion was, and it came with a salad andbread which was way more than enough!! Also got the house special tiramisu which we couldn't resist!! And we paid around $60including 2 drinks!! Read more

Was in the area and googled pasta near me. Service was ok. I didn't get a name from her. Apparently there was a banquet today,... so my food took long. I ordered the jambalaya it tasted ok. The noodles were thicker than I expected. I'll definitely request athinner one next time. The jambalaya at California Pizza Kitchen tasted better in my opinion. Read more

Order the Chicken Florentine. Their Alfredo sauce is unmatched. Salad was delicious. Environment is cozy and classic. Plenty of... authentic recipes and amazing quality dishes. Their red sauce is also delicious and their handmade ravioli was a perfect noodleto cheese ratio. Read more

We originally wanted to sit in the restaurant but it was packed so we ended up at the bar. I?m happy that occurred because the... service was amazing. The food was really good. I?m extremely picky & I didn?t have one complaint. ELLIOTT & LOGAN were greatbartenders and provided excellent service. These gentlemen are one of a kind an essential to your business. They truly need tobe rewarded for their great work ethic and attention to detail. We will definitely be back. Dined in on Wednesday 2/2/22. Read more

Being a foodie, I literally spent hours searching for a nice restaurant to celebrate New Years. Unfortunately, I?m only in... Phoenix for one night and most restaurants are fully booked. Luckily for me, I found this restaurant. When I arrived, the linewas wrapping around the parking lot for curbside pick up. I waited a little over an hour without a reservation. The food andservice were totally worth the wait. I?m grateful for ending my 2021 with a good meal. Read more
