What We're Craving This March at Li'l Rizzo's Italian Restaurant

March is here, bringing with it the lovely days of spring, St. Patrick's Day, and for you sports fans out there, March Madness. It also brings out new cravings for us at Li'l Rizzo's Italian Restaurant. Here's a closer look at some of the delicious dishes we're thinking about right now at our Lake of the Ozarks Italian restaurant. We're willing to bet that once you read about these irresistible foods, you'll be craving them too!

  

Italian Chef Salad

Many of you have already fallen in love with Li'l Rizzo's "World Famous" House Salad, filled with a blend of iceberg and romaine lettuce, diced red peppers, green onions, Provel cheese, Parmesan cheese, and our homemade red wine vinegar-based creamy Italian house dressing. For one of your meals in the near future, you might consider upgrading that amazing house salad to our Italian Chef Salad. 

In addition to the fantastic flavors the house salad already contains, we add sliced pastrami, Italian roast beef, and smoked turkey breast on top. You get a healthy dose of "greens", a taste that is out of this world, and hearty meats that make for a very satisfying meal. 

Spinach, Green Chili, & Jalapeno Dip

This incredible dip can be found on the appetizer menu, which means if you come in during the best Happy Hour at the Lake of the Ozarks, you can enjoy it for half-price! (Happy Hour happens this time of year each Monday-Friday from 3-6 pm and all day every Sunday.) This creamy, cheesy dip contains flavorful spinach, green chilies, and jalapenos and is served with tortilla chips.

Tuscan Chicken Sandwich

From the lunch menu at our Lake of the Ozarks restaurant & bar, which is served from 11 am-3 pm daily, this sandwich is a popular choice. We take a hearty chicken breast, grill it to perfection, and smother it in a blend of mozzarella and Provel cheese, top that with lettuce, tomato, and mayo, and serve it all with your choice of chips or fries. A wonderful, healthier alternative to a fried chicken sandwich. (Although, our menu options with fried chicken are hard to resist too!)  

Cavatelli Con Broccoli

This pasta dish is so delicious, you will find it on both our lunch and dinner menus. It is made up of shell-shaped cavatelli noodles that are coated in our creamy, homemade Alfredo sauce. Along with that amazing sauce, the noodles are joined by both mushrooms and broccoli for a well-rounded taste sensation that just may become your new favorite!  

Grilled Salmon

With the beautiful Lake of the Ozarks in our hometown, you can't help but start craving seafood at some point while you are here. (If you dine at our Li'l Rizzo's location on Horseshoe Bend Parkway, you get to enjoy a breathtaking lake view along with the best pasta & pizza at the Lake of the Ozarks!) 

You'll find many mouthwatering pastas on the menu paired with shrimp and we've even got a wonderful Seafood Pizza that features shrimp, clams, and crab meat. If you're here in the evening for dinner, we highly suggest our grilled salmon filet. It's cooked perfectly and served with sauteed mixed vegetables plus your choice of soup or a house salad.  

Rizzo's Margherita Pizza

We offer lots of different types of specialty pizzas at Li'l Rizzo's plus a long list of tasty toppings that let you create your own pizza masterpiece. The Rizzo's Margherita Pizza features lots of fresh, toppings that go down nicely on a warm, spring day. It's made with a brushed olive oil crust, fresh mozzarella, dollops of ricotta, plus fresh tomato and basil. All of that deliciousness is sprinkled with grated Parmesan. 

There you have a lovely list of fantastic foods to give a try when you join us at Li'l Rizzo's Italian Restaurant this month. Of course, this is only a very small sampling of the many, many amazing types of food we've got waiting for you! 

You can view our menus, and even order food to-go online, on our website. We open the dining room daily at 11:00 am. The next time you feel a craving coming on, head our way and let us take care of it for you in the most delicious ways possible!

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?
