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."
~Verna Sherrer, Google review

"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."
~Liveshealthy, TripAdvisor review

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

"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."

The Origins of Appetizers

Image
An appetizer is a small dish of food or a drink taken before a meal or the main course of a meal to stimulate one's appetite. Who decided we needed food before more food? Keep reading to learn about the origins of appetizers! Then take a look at what delicious pre-meal snacks we have to offer here at Li'l Rizzo's . Appetizer History Virtually all cultures have indulged in pre-meal morsels designed to whet the appetite. The ancient Greeks and Romans sampled bits of fish, seasoned vegetables, cheese and olives prior to their meals. Italians often ate thin rolls of grilled veal to stimulate the appetite for the meal to come. Wealthy Frenchmen picked at hors d’oeuvres throughout fancy meals from the late 17th through the mid-19th centuries. These snacks ranged from oysters and stuffed eggs to slices of beef tongue or braised quails. Americans began emulating that french dining model, by placing these bites of food on the table to be served throughout the meal as a pala

Draught Vs. Draft: What's the Difference?

Image
Brew, barley soda, liquid bread, and suds. There are so many different terms and phrases for the ice cold beverage we all love. The one that confuses us the most though, is draught and draft...how do we know which one to use, or how to pronounce it? Li'l Rizzo's has the best bar at the Lake of the Ozarks , so we're curious what the difference is between draught and draft. Draught Definition : A serving of drink (usually alcoholic) drawn from a keg. This could potentially save you from a very embarrassing night at the bar! Though it looks like it is pronounced like caught or bought, it's not. It's actually pronounce as "draft" according to Dictionary.com . A draught beer (AKA: spelt draft) is served from a cask or keg instead of a bottle or can. You can get draught beer in a "can form", and it's served in a pressurised container featuring a widget. A widget is a small plastic ball that you'll find in the can of your favorite draug

Why Does Pasta Come in So Many Different Shapes and Sizes?

Image
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?
