    This place is amazing! The food never disappoints and I have yet to find an item I was unhappy with. I have now made it a mission to try one of everything on the menu as I'm very confident that I'll love everything! The staff is amazing as well and if I could give six stars I'd happily do so!

    Geneva has so many wonderful places to eat and Riganato is another one of those places! The food here is made fresh and has a “personal touch” I got the rigatoni and it was so delicious. It felt like the ingredients came to me hot off the stove. Additionally, the service is great here!

    Riganato is a wonderful hidden treasure. I would not have discovered this place if it had not been for a friend raving about how good the food and service was. My expectations were pretty high and SPOILER ALERT... they did NOT disappoint! The place is very small so reservations are a good idea. I tried the cheese filled Riganato Meatballs they were incredible. The bread comes out hot and fresh baked. The pizza was amazing. I definitely have to give Riganato a very high recommendation.

    Excellent stuffed meatballs, petite stuffed peppers, and Nick's calamari were all phenomenal. There were six people in our party and everyone loved their entrees. You can't go wrong ordering anything on their menu. Our server Megan made us feel like family. This place is a hidden gem. We'll definitely be back again!!

    From the moment we walked in until we left, we really felt like we were eating at a friend's home. The staff was very helpful and friendly. I can't say enough about the meatballs. MUST TRY the meatball appetizer. You won't be disappointed.

    The food was perfect. Some of the best Italian food I’ve had. Calamari was cooked perfectly. Grilled octopus was perfect. Lasagna was great. Large entree portions. The spaghetti and meatballs are the best. We will be coming back for sure.

    Riganato’s is outstanding. Always. One of my favorite things on their menu is the tortellini, but you HAVE to try Nick’s calamari, with the peppers and garlic. Incredible! Best restaurant in town.

    We went here a few weeks ago. No one had a mask on. Not the young server man, nor did the woman. They asked us which soups we would like to NEVER bring them out. We realized on the drive home that we got charged for the soups we NEVER got. Terrible service 👎 would have been better going to Olive Garden

    Food was amazing! Probably the best vodka pasta I’ve ever had, pizza was really good too, and portions were large (although maybe a little pricey). Service was OK, but free bread was not great (super tiny hard loaf).

    A really enjoyable dining experience. The service is fantastic, and the food was great and served promptly. Everything we tried was enjoyable and everything was pretty affordable. I would highly recommend this place if you are a fan of Mediterranean cuisine including Italian and Greek food.

    Thwy say the food is made fresh but the way the pasta was clumped together, I doubt it. Meatball are real good. Tgis was our first visit so will try again.

  • 3/5 Isaiah Ly B. 5 months ago on Google • 81 reviews
    The service and atmosphere were lovely & quaint, respectively; however, the price point did not at all match the quality of the meal. My food was undercooked & far less flavorful than the price tag would deem. It also felt like their equally pricey cocktails were under poured, tasting little of alcohol & possessing zero of the effects. While my evening overall was fine, I don't think that we'll be returning to this restaurant any time soon. There're other restaurants that offer better food for the same (or even lower) cost.

    The white fish was delicious and the lasagna was very hardy and tasty. Good portions. A little pricey but worth it. Great staff and food came out quickly.

    This is the second time I've been here, and I have only ordered the specials. My advice is to do just that. One more word: Wow! The atmosphere is comforting, the food is delicious, and the service is great. Anytime I come to the Metro Chicago area I will be having at least one meal here. I was really hoping they had the Spinach Ricotta pinwheels for a special again, but I'm glad to have tried what I did!!!

    I have been going to Riganato for many years now, my late wife introduced me to this place before we eventually moved to Geneva only a few blocks away. This place has always made me feel like I'm at home, the food is excellent and it's always an excellent time. I will always have special memories here and cannot recommend it enough.

  • 5/5 Warren R. 7 months ago on Google
    The very best Italian we eat here whenever we are in town! Can not recommend this place enough.

  • 5/5 Lisa F. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a small family run business. They have renovated a house and made it in to a restaurant. Love the small, family run feel. Have had several outstanding meals from here. The pasta this last time was amazing, just had lots of leftovers! Can't wait to go back. 😀

    Excellent meal, nice small and cozy ambiance, very friendly service. I highly recommend this place and will surely go again

    I was in Geneva visiting for the weekend and a quick search for food recommended Riganato. The door was pretty good, the service was great and the atmosphere was good as well. I ordered the flat iron steak and my girlfriend ordered the lamb chops, which she wasn't crazy about. We both have the lemon oregano roasted potatos, which were pretty good but not the best.

  • 5/5 Marty R. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved it. The people, the atmosphere, the food…absolutely perfect. It felt like going home for the holidays with your favorite relatives. The lemon herb chicken kabobs will have you talking about them all the way home. SO good…The only bad thing is it’s a small open dining room so it gets loud and hard to hear your companions. We’ll worth the visit I’ll be back next time I’m in town.

    Riganato's was so much better than anything I would ever expected. I can't recommend it enough! My husband and I went for the first time last weekend. The food was phenomenal and HUGE portions. The service was outstanding, and the ambience was just perfect. It's a quaint perfect get away.

    Diverse menu with so many choices, I could visit 12 times and try a new meal every time. The food was delicious and a great value. The staff at Riganato are incredibly polite, efficient, and friendly. My fiancee and I went to celebrate her birthday and it was the perfect dinner. Would highly recommend to anyone!

  • 5/5 James V. 1 year ago on Google
    What a great time. Absolutely incredible food. My gosh. I felt like I was having dinner at a family member’s home. Greeted at the door by the owner Jimmy. Very old school. Just a nice guy running a great small business. Immediately became a go-to place for us. Try the lasagna. It will change your life.

    Didn't dine in so I don't know about the atmosphere, but the food was delicious they give you a really big portion. Capellini al pesto with shrimp 👍👍

  • 5/5 Y P. 1 year ago on Google
    Chicken Riganato is absolutely fantastic. I can honestly say it is a perfect dish every time. Everything they make is great. Pizzas, Mediterranean dishes, sandwiches, appetizers and Fig Cheese Cake. Nick and Jimmy and the staff working with them are all great people. We have always felt at home and comfortable sitting at their restaurant. What a great place to be for lunch or dinner. Thank you for your passion and love for what you do every day. Can’t wait be in again.

  • 5/5 Michael W. 2 years ago on Google
    Outstanding food and service! What a hidden gem this place is! The lemon chicken and rice soup was unlike anything else I've had before and was delicious. My pork sandwich was also outstanding with the special Italian spices in the sauce. I would come back here in a heartbeat! Highly recommended!

    Best gnocchi I’ve ever had, the staff is friendly and fun. Megan, our server, treated us like family. Go here, it’s all good!

    We had such a great experience here for Sunday dinner. The food was really good and the atmosphere was warm and friendly. Take out pizza's were flying out of the kitchen too so we'll be trying those next.

  • 5/5 Michael J. 2 years ago on Google
    Was able to visit this establishment twice while visiting the area. The staff were exceptional, they saw the needs before we asked and responded appropriately. One of the visits we came in close to closing and I felt like we were treated as if the restaurant just opened. The food was fabulous and there was plenty of food. We tried different items on both days and was not disappointed. Last the cost was very reasonable for service we got and the quality of the food. You will not be disappointed.
