What We're Craving in October

Fall is here and so is the chilly weather! This time of the year is a wonderful time to embrace the change in scenery as the fall foliage starts to appear. The trees have started to change, the weather is beginning to cool down, and the view from our Horseshoe Bend location couldn't be more beautiful. What's better than sitting back, enjoying the Lake view, and enjoying the best Italian food at the Lake of the Ozarks? Check out what we are currently craving this month at Li'l Rizzo's. 

Lasagna


Nothing says fall quite like comfort food. When the nights are chilly, enjoy some delicious Lasagna to warm you up. Our lasagna is homemade and is made up of 6 layers of pasta, meat sauce, ricotta cheese, and of course Italian sausage. Topped with a blend of mozzarella and Provel cheese and then baked to perfection. You can never go wrong with lasagna!

The Sicilian


When the weather gets cold, sometimes cooking dinner just isn’t on our priority list. Hey, we totally understand! Lucky for you, Li’l Rizzo’s does takeout. Whether you feel up for cooking dinner or not, ordering pizza from Li’l Rizzo’s is always a great idea. Our Sicilian pizza has pepperoni, Italian sausage, crumbled meatballs, and chopped garlic.

Apple Calzone


 When you think of fall, apples are usually one thing that comes to mind. Our apple calzone is definitely a fall favorite. The flakey pastry shell is filled with the goodness of apple and cinnamon. You know, the flavors of fall. Of course, we couldn't resist topping this delicious dessert with caramel and a scoop of ice cream. This desert calzone will melt in your mouth as you enjoy every last bite. Don’t forget to save room for dessert!

Pumpkin Spice Martini


 Finish off your Italian meal with one of our amazing Pumpkin Spice Martinis. Nothing says fall quite like pumpkin spice. This is definitely a favorite! Sit back and enjoy the big game on one of our many TV's, or enjoy watching the leaves change from our Horseshoe Bend deck, while sipping this amazing combination of vanilla vodka, Bailey's Irish Cream, Pumpkin Flavored Liqueur and a cinnamon and nutmeg topping.

Li'l Rizzo's


 Our menu has something perfect for every season, but Fall is special. The spices and flavors of fall are delicious and savory. Our menu at Li'l Rizzo's is so varied that you'll find something for the whole family to enjoy. When you come to the best Italian restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks, you become part of our family. Whether you are coming to hang out and watch the game on one of our many TVs, or you're coming to have a family dinner, you can't go wrong with Li'l Rizzo's! Come visit us for lunch or dinner any day of the week and don't forget about all day Happy Hour on Sundays!

The meu at Li'l Rizzo's has a variety of different types of pasta. Why All These Shapes and Sizes?  Chefs use different shapes and sizes of pasta for different purposes because certain shapes hold different sauces better than others. Thin pasta, such as angel hair works better with thin oil-based sauce, while thicker sauces work better with thicker, heavier pastas.
