Meet Bill Borders
Li'l Rizzo's has been in the Borders family since the very beginning! Carol Borders, along with Mike Rizzo and Ed Alexander, founded the original Rizzo's in 1985. The restaurant was a success and soon Carol acquired full ownership. Two other restaurants have since opened, which brings us to her son Bill. Carol and Bill opened the Premium Outlets location together and now he runs both it and the Horseshoe Bend location. To get to know who's running your favorite Italian restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks today, we asked Bill some questions and here are his answers! Q: Tell us about your family. A: My mother is a remarkable woman who overcame many obstacles to become a successful business person. She moved to the Lake from St. Louis in the spring of 1985 to be the dining room manager of a new Italian Restaurant. She worked tirelessly at Rizzo's and ultimately bought the business from her partners. She opened three more successful restaurants bef
