Arrived saw many open tables but told 20 min wait. Sat at bar chatted with delightful bartender. Finally got to table/booth…..great. Ordered simple food, chopped salad and meatball sandwich. Almost an hour later we asked how much longer…maybe 15 minutes…..we asked waitress to pull the ticket, put down money for a beer and tip and left, likely to never return! Sad to see a St Louis tradition slide so badly.

The "new" Rigazzi's is quite a bit different from the old standby we have been used to for over 60 years. The menu has been compressed substantially, and some of our favorites are now gone (salmon entree and fried chicken). Service was a bit slower than in the past.

The Rigazzi’s we knew and loved is no more. Before the new management took over it was great and we came to eat there when down on the hill as one of our favorites. Now we will not come back. New management has changed the menu, none of the same food we all grew up loving, a lot of new staff, my daughter ordered scampi and all the noodles tasted like was pasta water. So disappointed that a St Louis favorite is not the same we loved. I hope they can improve.

The food was just ok. It wasn't very flavorful. The lasagna was a little burnt and chicken parmesan was not eye pleasing and not very good. It was a thick breast a little over cooked with a pile of sauce on top. The noodles were dry. The salad was good but overall the food was not good. I will not go back again. Oh the chicken spoedini was better than the other dishes but not enough for me to go back and order again. I'm not spelling spoedini correctly.

Wait time from ordering to getting food took a long time. We scheduled dinner 2 hours 15 minutes before our show started and we barely made it. Hour 45 minutes for dinner was a bit long of a wait to eat

When we arrived for our reservation, we were told it would be 5 minutes, which would have been fine. When it was taking longer, we mentioned that we had a concert to get to, but we were still not seated until 30 minutes after our reservation time. We were annoyed when we noticed tables that were empty while we were waiting. Service was very slow, and we were told that they were out of several staple menu items (chicken spedini, veal & chicken parmigiana, lasagna ). After we ordered, we were then informed that food has been taking 40 minutes or more to come out. So we did not get our food until 2 hours after our reservation time.
