Great Casual Spot with Pizza to Die for
From the quirky, upstairs back room bar (Vinny's) to the rough-hewn paneled walls of the back dining area you'll find Tony Rigatoni's a delightful resting spot after a day hike at one of the many nearby open space parks. The pizza--old standards or made to order from a selection of gourmet and not-so-gourmet items--is fabulous with a tender, chewy crust and a mild, pleasant sauce (if you ordered it). The pastas are generous and highly flavorful--try the penne in the tomato and Italian sausage cream sauce--unusual and wonderful. The scampi is sizzling and garlicky as it should be. Don't forget dessert! Turtle torte so rich you have to share it and tiramisu blissfully light and delicately sweet. Wine selection is good for the venue, nice choice of beers. Service is normally friendly and attentive.    [25 Apr 2003 17:06:26]

Awesome!
This was a great place to go. Great scenery, wonderful Italian food, and the prices were good for the amount of food. They ranged between $6.99 and $15.99, but the large portions are great for splitting - unless you can eat bottomless portions of wonderful food!    [05 Jun 2003 16:43:25]

Scary
After a long day trekking, we arrived in the restaurant with my wife and two young children.
The restaurant was old and seemed it was falling apart. The food arrived 45 minutes later. Before we had a chance to start, loud voices were heard and a guy who claimed to be the owner got into a fight with a customer. As the scene was getting really ugly, we left immediately and decided never to return.    [06 Mar 2006 09:46:49]

Cheese free Calzone
I ordered the calzone without sauce on the outside, only to find there was no sauce and only a little bit of cheese on the inside.

Very dry and boring.

Next time there, I had the ravioli. It was just like the kind you buy frozen in the grocery store.

Very boring food experience.    [05 Mar 2007 18:58:39]
