“The potatoes were generously portioned and paired beautifully with the chicken, making for a satisfying and well-balanced meal”
Rigonato, gives you a warm and friendly family feel from the minute you walk in till you leave, but I don't know if the restaurant changed its food supplier or the recipe.

“1st time here today.”
1st time here today! Service was outstanding! It was adorable inside. The fresh bread was delicious. I had the butternut squash gnocchi & it was incredible! The ingredients were fresh & the taste was authentic. My son had Tortellini alla Panna. He loved it. I ended my meal with limoncello cake. It was perfect. What a great place. We will be back

Riganato is a delightful restaurant with both Italian and Greek influence . The food is delicious and you will have trouble choosing from their menu because of it. Frita was our restaurant liaison and Jimmy made us feel so welcomed when we arrived with our children. Great atmosphere and attentive staff. 5 stars

“Superb dining experience.”
Superb dining experience. The staff was extremely hospitable and the owner stopped by to say hello. You can taste the love in the food - we had the greek inspired chicken on pita and potatoes with a tzatziki sauce that was to die for!! The chicken was juicy but also grilled, which is usually hard to accomplish. And their burger with jalapeños and manchego cheese was equally delightful. They were really accommodating in splitting the portions between my husband and I. Their jalapeno gnocchi appetizer was unforgettable. Honestly, everything was unforgettable - what a gem of a restaurant! We will be back 100% and telling everyone about this place!

“Wow—what an absolute delight.”
Wow—what an absolute delight! We came to Riganato for lunch, and it was easily one of the best dining decisions we’ve made in a while. Each of us ordered something different, and everything looked (and smelled) incredible. I went with the half chicken from the lunch special menu, and it completely exceeded my expectations. Finally—a place that actually knows how to season chicken properly! It was flavorful, juicy, and cooked to perfection. The potatoes were generously portioned and paired beautifully with the chicken, making for a satisfying and well-balanced meal. My coworkers were equally impressed with their dishes, and we all left feeling full and happy. We’ll definitely be coming back!

The food, service, and atmosphere were all perfect! We found a hidden gem to us, but you can tell this is a local haunt. They are even reasonably priced! Food portions are also generous! Definitely a place you need to make reservations!

“The food was delicious.”
The food was delicious. I haven’t had juicy chicken and lamb chops like that in a MINUTE! The staff was professional and kind and our waitress gave great wine selections. SUPER BUSY and reservation is a MUST.

“Okay please come to this place and try everything I ate.”
Okay please come to this place and try everything I ate. meatball pasta, lamb chop, calamari.. all very fantastic. lamb chop was well cooked and fresh. No bad smell. My wife who doesn't like lamb smell also loved this one. calamari, to be honest, the visual.. isn't that good just normal or below normal but it tastes really good. Best calamari ever. Meatball spaghetti was also phenomenon. It was different than other meatball spaghettis. I will definitely visit again.

“The food and entire experience was everything we expected after seeing the great reviews.”
The food and entire experience was everything we expected after seeing the great reviews! The meatballs, jalapeño gnocchi, and beet appetizers were absolutely delicious! The pizza with sausage and sundried tomatoes was fantastic and the baklava was as good as it gets. Locally owned with the owner and family on site. A wonderful experience overall! Thank you for creating an excellent dining experience!
