Ragazzi's : Comments

Ragazzi's totally blew us away. Our whole family wanted pasta/italian and we debated where to go. We finally agreed on Ragazzi's.

Ragazzi's is NOT a chain and that is a good thing. Everything is made fresh and it tastes it.

We began with a salad that is served family style and icy cold on chilled plates...full of olives, peppers and delicious crunchy croutons. You can ask for seconds on salads and request what you want in it. Their homemade caesar dressing is fantastic...just the right amount of garlic and tang. They actually just started selling their dressing in bottles (we got one to take with us).

Our meals were served hot and by a very very nice server. My son wanted Calzone, but really wanted artichoke and chicken in it. They didn't have artichokes, but by the time we finished our salad, the server had gotten one of the kitchen folks to go over to a nearby grocery store to get some and voila, my son had his Calzone, piping hot, oozing with cheesy flavor and delicious, just the way he dreamed of--with artichokes and grilled chilcken.

I ordered the smaller portion of linguine with freshly made sauce with sauteed mushrooms and grilled chicken. I like that they have large and small sized portions, so I can really scarf down the salad and not be too full of a main dish. The larger portions look great too.

My husband had linguine with a special chicken and a wine/marinara sauce with peppers/onions. He didn't even take a breath....it was that good! He said the flavor was so incredible and ate every bit although he was full with the hot bread and the salad.

I haven't had this kind of service, quality, price in a long time. Most restaurants get duller with time...this one gets brighter and better!! We had a great time and a better dinner we haven't had in ages. Yes we will go back again and again!!!

I could tell the owner is trying to create a nice atmosphere by using diming light and dazed music, it could be a romantic in a cozy room. However, they have this huge space like a ware house. The ceiling is at least 20 feet high, and we are about the only guest in such a big place with a little of lighting, it feels so odd that I almost walked away.

The house dressing for salad indicates that the chief LOVE vinegar, too bad I am not that big a sour favor fan. Breadstick is only luke warm, nothing impressive. The signature red sauce spaghetti was better than fast food but not much. A shrimp alfredo was ok, still too much sour favor. Overall food was average or below. If there is anything that may ever bring me back to this place, here are some.

1.low price, small plate is only $7.99 in dinner, feed us very well
2.fresh intergradient, although I don’t think it’s tasty, I am impressed how fresh the food is.
3.the fried cheesecake with vanilla ice cream. The crisp shell and cream inside is THE PERFECT MATCH. I enjoyed it a lot. That is the thing stopped me from telling the owner how bad I was feeling about everything.

Anything I don't see myself going back in a couple years unless I just order a dessert and pick it up.

I tried Ragazzi's last night and was very disappointed. The salad and breadsticks were OK. The servers were great. The main dishes were not good. I had shrimp and portabella IT WAS VERY BAB AND STINKY. My boyfriend had shrimp parmesan which was edible but not good. Ragazzi's is a false representation of what good italian food is.

I still shudder when I drive by. Don't be tempted -- the food is mediocre on a good day. Better off getting takeout elsewhere and eating in peace.

I have been a frequent diner at Ragazzi's for many years and have always found the food to be delicious, the atmosphere inviting, and the service friendly and efficient. The portions are generous, I always have more than enough. I love the all you can eat soup, sald, and breadsticks. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to friends. One of my favorites!
