Chose Rigazzi’s to celebrate a family birthday. They were so accommodating and allowed us to bring in a cake and even stored our gifts and cake until we were ready for them. The food was delicious; the service was excellent; and they couldn’t have been nicer. It was a great experience and the whole staff was warm and welcoming. We will definitely come back!
