I loved this place. I had just called because I wanted to do a take out order to get lunch while I was at work. At first the woman on the phone seemed a little aggrevated with all my questions I was asking, but it was simply because she had a bunch of people walk in at the same time, she politely asked me to call back and which I did. She answered all my questions and since I'm a plane Jane as it is I just had ordered the Penne Noodles with Marinara. Since I was ordering for my boyfriend who is Vegan she continued to impress me with the news that their marinara had NO cheese in it. Which was good and meant he could eat it too. So Vegans! You can eat here with the noodles and sauce! Add it to your list. It was done quickly and the exterior and interior was very adorable. I wish I had the chance to sit down and experience more of it. Considering it was lunch menu it was very inexpensive and delicious! It came with slices of bread which is always a plus!

i've been here several times over the years and i have to say this is one of my favorite italian restaurants ever. the servers are friendly and the food is consistently delicious.

While living in the Valley for good Italian food, I tripped over this jewel through yelp. I don't see how this place could be considered bad seeing how fresh everything tasted. Salty? Perhaps too much fresh grated cheese with your food (which you get to spoon in yourself). The place is dated, but if the food is good, who cares. My wife got the pesto with cream sauce tortellini while I went with the gnocchi. They were both beautiful things. The tortellini was marvelous with that cream sauce; I was fighting myself from mopping up a bit with some bread. The gnocchi was excellent (though I haven't really had much out there, so i'm not a real pro at spotting the best of the best) and the meatballs...absolutely stellar. They were soft with a small hit of spice while keeping with the meaty texture.

One of the best authentic Italian resaturates in the valley. Amazing food

This is the best Italian restaurant in town. While eating dessert, I died and went to canoli heaven .

When my mom was high school she worked at Riazzi's in their old location. (Torn down looooooong ago.) The same people who owned it then, own it now. Growing up Riazzi's was always a constant part of my restaurant experience. (The owners remember my mom and she still talks to them when we go.) They have great food, made from old family recipes. I have always enjoyed the chicken piccata and chicken marsala. I like the red wine, the bread and desserts. Riazzi's is a true Italian family restaurant that has been a part this community for many years, and for a good reason: They are great at what they do. It's local, it's real, it's my kind of place.

Great food! Best Italian food out here. Veal Marsala is better than any place in New York. Their chicken stuffed with three cheeses is also delish. The bread and salads are simple and classic. This restaurant is a staple of mine, and I've been going here for countless years. Yes, besides the unique tree growing over the entrance, the decor is bland (1980's Italian style). I think it makes it feel a little more like if you were eating at Ma's house, and she was stuck in the 80's. Love this places food!

I went to college in walking distance from Little Italy in Cleveland, OH and was sad to find that AZ had so few Italian restaurants! I was thrilled to find Riazzi's. All I ever get here is pasta, meatballs, and red sauce and they are delicious - just what I got used to in Little Italy.

I like to go here for special occasions with my honey.I LOVE THE PESTO WITH CREAM SAUCE TORTELLONI! It was the first thing I tried and now that's all I order. My honey gets the chicken diablo . Our Kids got the pizza but they thought it "tasted funny" - it did not taste like take out, they are kids, what do you want. So, we go there for an evening alone or with friends.

I've been dining here for nearly 30 years.....that must tell you something about the food. Every experience has been absolutely wonderful. You must go!!!!

Riazzi's is the best Italian food in the metro Phoenix area. The recipes are very authentic, the portions are perfect, the atmosphere is great. My grandparents came from Italy (Sicily), when I took my Dad to dinner there, he got tears in his eyes after the first bite saying the food tasted like his mother used to make. How great is that?!
