Rigatoni's Italian Restaurant

Last week my wife and I got to experience something really special. We went to a place called Rigatoni's Italian Restaurant. The food was delicious. The prices were reasonable. The atmosphere was cozy. The staff was so kind and friendly. The owner, Nora, was so very accommodating (even giving us an old bar sign that she wasn't using anymore at no charge). The icing on the cake though was the performance by Hector Gutierrez Sr. He knew so many cool crooner songs, even Nat King Cole's Nature Boy! That's a rare one. He also had some cool country and pop arrangements. I got a bunch of pictures (including the entire menu with prices) and a good video of one of the songs Hector did. Sorry if I messed it up with my singing. I was trying to be quiet but I couldn't help myself. I was just so into it. I can't believe this place has been on Leopard Street for 24 years and I'm just now learning about it! I highly recommend going on a Friday or Saturday, between 6pm-8pm so you can catch Hector's performance. Performance link: https://youtu.be/TFUCsXYwNqw?si=qAinAp8LmiFgFjcD

Second visit this time lunch. Still can't say enough about the food the service and the music and Italian feel. Love it. We had calamari for starters. The. We both got the shrimp fra Diavlo my wife tomato basil soup and husband salad. Truly amazing. I only snapped one photo but it's of the main dish

Giving this 2 stars because the staff was really friendly and attentive. We went back in December, and it looked and felt clean, and the decor was cute. The reason for the three stars was the food. I ordered the chicken Alfredo pasta. The Alfredo sauce reminded me more of a chicken gravy with parm. The chicken was all cut in pieces where some looked older than the other pieces. There also wasn't enough sauce. The Caesar dressing on my salad was pretty good, though, and tasted like it was made in-house. My husband felt the same about his food. So we won't be returning, and that's more of a flavor preference issue than anything else.

Great food, great service. Servers always try their best to accommodate your needs & consider food allergies as well. Nice, quiet atmosphere to enjoy your meal

Amazing food - amazing people - great atmosphere. A hidden secret for sure !! My go to when I want to take a ride out of Rockport !!!! You'll be glad you tried Riggatoni's

Rigatoni's has the best food and service around. We had a Lions Club meet and greet with our Governor and Special guest. Service was on point, food was prepared wonderfully. Ambience perfect with live music. Such a great time I only took a few pictures.

listen here just because you might have good food that don't mean nothing when you have a horrible customer service if somebody orders food from you and they tell you to add meatballs and you say they have to pay for it and they pay for it and you lack of putting those meatballs in their food honey, I am not gonna come late at night to let you know that you forgot my damn meatballs if u on my route the next day and I will let you know I won't go back that night or called you that night to complain about it you have lack of empathy that $4. 6 dollars how much those meatballs were learn to be more respectful

I found this place many years ago and had my first lunch there. I was in the area the other day and decided this would be a great stop for lunch. I was not disappointed. The service is friendly, and the food is outstanding. The sauces are truly Italian.

Some of the best Italian food around! take a trip back in time with an amazing ambience and service

Was recommended this place by a family friend and i decided to give it a shot. I was the furthest from dissatisfied i have ever been. The restaurant was very neatly prepared and perfectly decorated, we were quickly sat by Troy, the best waiter i have had in a long time, his hospitality is unmatched. Food was quickly served and the presentation was worth much more than face value. Food was amazing and i enjoyed absolutely every single bite. Prices are beyond fair with a hearty dinner for 2 coming out to around $40. Rigatoni's is a great option to take your significant other on a cute Italian food date. My only complaint is that i didnt show up at the right time to see the pianist perform live :(
