For my birthday, I chose Chef Matty Mathewson's Italian restaurant, Rizzo's House Of Parm. And it was quite the birthday wish fulfilled! Arriving at Crystal Beach, it's in a nice, out of the way area, away from the hustle and bustle. Very serene.
Inside the restaurant, sounds of enjoyment and smells of delicious food infiltrate the senses immediately. Our table had seating against the wall, which was cushioned with a long pillow for back support!
We ordered, to start, Italian Wedding soup, Fried Calamari and for myself, Matty's Salad. The soup was a touch salty, but still delicious. Loved the mix of legumes and leaves in Matty's Salad, and the calamari's crunch was enhanced even more so by the arrabbiata & parm dip.
For our mains, I ordered a Veal Parm with spaghetti on the side, and I gotta say, I didn't finish my meal, but not for lack of deliciousness! The side spaghetti was a meal in itself; the sauce was savoury but not too salty or drowning in oil, and just enough to complement the veal parm. My father tried the Eggplant Parm, and he loved it. I concurred, after trying a piece from his plate!
All in all, I'm glad I chose this place for my special occasion, because it's a special place. Would love to eat here again!
