The Li'l Rizzo's Menu Holds TONS of Delicious Choices!
Have you had a chance to check out the new menus online for Li'l Rizzo's Italian Restaurant yet? (Our Osage Beach location has had theirs up for a while now but we've just added the beautifully updated menu for our Lake Ozark location recently.) They have a much sharper, colorful look and best of all, they include photos of the best Italian food at the Lake of the Ozarks too! (And a picture is worth a thousand words.)
If Li'l Rizzos is new to you, it may surprise you to see the many delicious choices our menu has to offer. As for our regular diners, you may have visited us enough times that you don't even look at the menu anymore because you already have your favorite foods in mind when you come in.
Today's blog features a quick overview of the menu plus a peek at some of our most popular dishes. This will give newcomers a better idea of what we serve and give our "regulars" a reminder of the other foods they may want to branch out and give a try next time.
Appetizers
Appetizers are a great way to get a meal started. If you happen to come in during Happy Hour any Monday-Friday from 3-6 pm or Sunday (seasonally) all day long, our entire appetizer menu is available for half-price! Here are a couple of our most popular apps.
Toasted Ravioli
Beef ravioli deep-fried to a golden brown topped with parsley flakes, Parmesan cheese, and served with a side of meat sauce.
Meatball
This giant homemade meatball is topped with chunky meat sauce and then sprinkled with Parmesan cheese and parsley.
Soup * Salad * Bread
Around here folks can't seem to get enough of Li'l Rizzo's "World Famous" House Salad, which is a blend of iceberg and romaine lettuce tossed in our homemade red wine vinegar-based creamy Italian dressing. It also contains diced red peppers, green onions, Provel cheese, and Parmesan cheese. If you like, we can add chicken (fried, garlic roasted, or grilled) for an even heartier meal.
We also offer an amazing Italian Chef Salad which is our house salad topped with sliced pastrami, Italian roast beef, and smoked turkey breast. A perfect partner to any of our salads is our Parmesan Ciabatta Rolls or a hearty helping of our Minestrone Soup or featured Soup of the Day.
Pastas
All of our pastas are served with those amazing Parmesan Ciabatta rolls we just mentioned. The best pasta at the Lake of the Ozarks is prepared with a wide variety of noodles, sauces, and toppings so there is always something that everyone can enjoy. You can also customize your pasta with a long list of ingredients, including gluten-free pasta.

Entrees
Each entree comes with your choice of soup or a house salad. Most of these menu items still have some pasta on the plate but in this case, the main focus is on the other irresistible ingredients.Top Sirloin
