After recently doubling in size, this restaurant continues to surprise. It has the best paninis anywhere. A friend and I shared a full-size panini and a full-size salad and my wife selected from a daily special. The portions are always large, delicious, and filling. The waitstaff were attentive. The owner is frequently seen talking to customers in the dining room.... More

I decided to try this restaurant after seeing it on diners drive ins and dives...and buying a living social deal. The restaurant is tucked into a strip center and bigger than it looks on the outside. The pastry cases looked phenomenal and I would like to try all. One section has biscotti, one all cookies, one with slices of cakes... More

On May 11, 2013 after a friend mentioned this restaurant was featured on TV, I decided to take my daughter and a friend out for a late lunch. When we arrived there were two other tables occupied so it was not that busy but throughout our time there service was rather slow. We had to interrupt a conversation the waitress... More

My husband and I decided to try this restaurant after seeing it on TV and purchasing a Living Social Deal. We were extremely disappointed in both the food and service. We went on a Saturday afternoon for a late lunch, restaurant was about half full. Our waitress came to our table to drop off menus and to take our drink... More

We traveled a good distance and decided to give this place a try. The desserts taunt you as soon as you arrive! Wow! What a display. Our server was somewhat slow and not very friendly but we didn't let that interfere with our evening. We shared a bowl of cream of mushroom soup, a fried mushroom appetizer and the Mediterrian...

I have to agree with some of the other reviewers, the service leaves a little to be desired. Then again, the wait staff is very young, and with probably zero experience. As for the cash tips that one reviewer mentioned, if you read the menu correctly, it states that tips are not required, as the wait staff is paid in... More

After moving down south I really missed walking into a bakery with a display of cookies and sweet treats. I already had dinner plans but I couldn't resist some cookies, eclair and a lobster tail to take home. After cashing out I was a little surprised with how much everything came to. Seemed a bit expensive, but I am a... More

Drove 45 miles from Newport News to experience this resturant after seeing in on Divers, Dives & Drive Inns. Was told they weren't serving lunch right now because they were preparing for dinner. After surveying the resturant, there were people sitting with plates and eating lunch. What a waste of time! Had the best wings going at Wild Wing Cafe... More

The food was fantastic and the service excellent. This was my first trip and it wont be the last. Not sure how this one was missing in my own area.

We went to Rigoletto after purchasing a Living Social coupon. It was 4:30 p.m. on a Friday and they were not very busy. We were greeted, not only by the staff but by the mass array of desserts displayed. Everything looked delicious. We were told to sit anywhere and shortly after sitting, a young lady gave us menus and asked... More
