We were referred by friends and were not disappointed! The food was great and plentiful. The pizza was huge, and we had to box up more than half. We definitely recommend this place and will come back again!"

"Great atmosphere and even better food. I had shrimp scampi and it was delicious. I am definitely going back to try the pizza. It looked and smelled amazing."

"Janette was our waitress and her service was absolutely phenomenal. We came in during the dinner rush with a 30-minute wait but it was worth it. The food was hot, the wait wasn't long. I will definitely be back with friends when I'm in town."
~Lbc E, Yelp review

"Very Good!:
We ordered “curb-side” lasagna & pizza, both very good! Pizza is thin crust, our preference! They brought food out to our car."

Li'l Rizzo's in Osage Beach

"This place is not 5 star, it's 6 or 7. The food was beyond excellent! The dinner rolls were extremely delicious! The salad & house dressing was very good as well. The steak was perfectly cooked... I don't remember the exact name but the chicken served over spaghetti was the same... excellent! I'm going back to try their pizza! It's located on the entrance across from Dierbergs Food Market."
~Cathie Cottrell, Google review

"Fun atmosphere! It's like walking into an Italian version of Cheers (old sitcom). The staff is so warm and treats you like your bff's. The food is like eating in my grandma's kitchen. Perfectly Italian. Not the Americanized version but the good ol' Mama style. I had a craving for spaghetti and it hit the spot. Hubby had Calzone and licked his plate clean. It was stuffed full and oozed out when he cut into it. Now let's talk drinks - the adult kind!! The Cherry Limeade was to die for!! Holy yum balls!! Can't wait to try some of the others but it'll be hard to not order the Cherry Limeade, too."
~Kathleen M, Yelp review


"Yum! Loved the whole experience of dining at Lil’ Rizzo’s. Drinks were fantastic! Spaghetti was gooood! Calzone was flavorful. Staff was so friendly. Atmosphere is awesome !!"

"Our server was amazing! We went there for lunch and it was great! The bread was awesome and so was the salad! My pizza was fantastic definitely get the garlic chicken pizza! Yummy!"

"This is ALWAYS a 5 star. We go there once a week and always take our house guests there. The owner and managers are the best at the lake. Best Italian food period at the lake."

Pasta comes in many different shapes and sizes. In fact, there are approximately 350 different types of pasta around the world. These noodles can be organized into several different groups including long pasta (spaghetti, fettucine), tubes (penne), stuffed (tortellini, ravioli) and more! 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. Flat pastas pair well with cream sauces, while tomato-based sauces seem to cling better to round pastas. What's your favorite shape of pasta?
