I have been a loyal diner for all of 25 years! We would always have our family dinners with my grandparents and siblings back at the original location. It is now an honor for my son to spend his childhood enjoying the same delicious food that I did growing up. Thanks for the memories! Jaime Sarli

Every family get together seems to end up at Rigatony’s.  Happy 25th Birthday!!  I remember the garlic shrimp and chicken special, and that we ordered it for months after it was off the board.  You made a card for us with the ingredients so the cooks would know what we were ordering.  Still one of my favorites in the 20 years I have been going to Rigatony’s.  Brian Markle

Our friend Bill! Our tradition started when we would go to Rigatonys before we would go to the Hale theater. He was always stuffed, but he had to have his dish of ice cream. He has since passed on but we continue the tradition. Susan

I believe that the very first time I eat at your restaurant it was on Arizona Ave and my friend and I drove up from Casa Grande because I was looking for some great Italian food. I remember I ordered the fried tortellini with lobster sauce, asparagus and red peppers. I was so happy that to this day I order it every time I come in . Most of the Waite staff don’t even know about it but the cooks always make it for us. I moved to Arizona 15 yrs ago and your place is the ONLY Italian restaurant I will go to. My kids have been out many times from Michigan and we always stop in at least once while they are in town.
Happy 25 th Anniversary and many many more. Monica Kenny

We love you over the years. Sandy Hamer

I remember the big move from Chandler to Tempe, and we were closed for just 3 days! This has been a great adventure, and I am so proud to be a part of it! Alyssa

I first stumbled upon Rigatony’s at the Brown location in Mesa – I lived right around the corner and could not believe we had such awesome food so close. This was probably 2002. I signed up for the frequent diner program. After that location was closed I shifted to the Tempe location and been a regular attendee with all of my family. Last year we moved to the far East Valley but Rigatony’s is our go to place for out of town guests. Rigatony’s is one of the few places we will make the drive on a regular basis. Well Done!

PS We have attended several of your wine dinners and have really enjoyed them.

My boyfriend and I had our first date at RigaTony’s in Chandler on 12/30/2007. I had never been there before! He asked me what my favorite kind of food was, and I told him “Italian”! He told me he knew of the best place for Italian food and the rest is history! It’s been my favorite restaurant ever since! And yes, we’re still together…in part because of his great taste in food!

I’ve introduced my family to RigaTony’s and it’s our go-to place for family celebrations! The photo is of my mom’s 80th birthday lunch last year when we reserved the private dining room. Wonderful memories have been made there. Happy 25th birthday, RigaTony’s!! Karen Nygaard

Remember when it first opened. Had been a customer of Chops and before that Lunt Ave Marble club so we tried it in the beginning. Parking was always a disaster but the food was great along with wonderful service. That has continued thru the years and when you moved the parking situation improved.

Been coming since they opened on Arizona Avenue,  have converted many people to this restaurant.  Best Italian food in the valley! Dan Clifford

I have many memories since our family has been eating at RigaTony’s long before you closed your original location on Knox & AZ Ave and at least once a month here in Tempe.  I loved how the restaurant was decorated for Christmas with tons of ornaments hanging on ribbon from the ceiling all over the place!  (I wish you would decorate like that at this location this year, so pretty!).  I remember the green cloth napkins used as bibs with clothes pins attached to them hanging on hooks above each booth.  Best of all the consistently wonderful food prepared and served for the past 25 years.  Congratulations & many more successful years to come!  J.R. Blatt 

Too many memories to list here! 
We’re very thankful you picked our neighborhood for your location. 
Good food, good neighbors and good times!

Picked up shifts during the early 2000s while working at Iguana Max. Nicole Rosas

We moved here almost 26 years ago.  We discovered RigaTony’s when it was first opened on Arizona Avenue.  Our first time at Rigatony’s was with a group of our SunBird friends. There was a LOT of vacant land between our house and Rigatony’s in the early 90s. Most of those friends are gone, but my husband and I still “made the trip”. A waitress introduced me to the “creamy tomato sauce” and it changed my life. SO GOOD!! 
Since the move to Warner we usually order the salad at Happy Hour. We celebrated our 58th wedding anniversary in August 2017 with that salad, wine and the Tiramisu. Rigatony’s now can celebrate their 25th and we are hoping you are on your way to the next 25!!
Al and Judee Curtis

We have only been going to RigaTony’s for about 7 years.  We live mainly in Illinois so we aren’t in Arizona all the time but whenever we are there, we go to RigaTony’s.  We have taken our families and many friends with us to RigaTony’s and they all enjoyed it.  We love the patio which is where we sat on our first visit.  Here’s wishing you many more years of amazing food and service.

We have been coming to Rigatony’s for about 20years. Our children and our five granddaughters have grown up on your food. When Rigatony’s turns 25 we will be celebrating our 49th wedding anniversary at Rigatony’s.  Great quality food and great customer service has always been since going to your restaurant. Your prices have always been lower than the other ones. We live about 30 miles from your restaurant but that doesn’t stop us from going.

Thanks again for always being there

I’m the office manager at a nearby church and when I started taking care of our church board’s meals at monthly meetings,  I ordered a large catered chicken piccata meal for them. They LOVED it! I have been ordering from your nice variety of choices and picking up their dinners at RigaTony’s almost every month for the past five years! Thanks for  making that part of my job so easy and delicious! They look forward every month to their RigaTony board dinner! Karen Goetz

Happy 25th Anniversary!  My family has been eating at your restaurant since it opened in Chandler!  I, personally, have been in love with your red sauce since then.  The problem was I got pregnant in 1994 and had to quit eating red sauce due to my heartburn.  So, I discovered your other sauces.  For nine months I had every other pasta without red sauce including the kids’ menu wagon wheel mac and cheese.  The day I came home from the hospital, we ordered in lasagne with extra red sauce and the gorgonzola pull-aparts. I miss those.  In fact, we had Rigatony’s three times that week definitely with red sauce.  Since you moved to Tempe, we still enjoy celebrating birthdays, family events, and girls’ night out there.  Same outstanding food after 25 years!  Cheers to 25 more!
Didn’t you guys own Chops too?  Linda T

I wasn’t living in Arizona at that time. But Rigatoni’s is one of my favorite restaurants in this area. Dorothy J. Walk 

First time our family went was 23 years ago for a special Birthday.   The guys had played golf and my husband his first hole in one on his Birthday.
They where nice enough to let us bring in a special carrot cake for the occasion. We love restaurants with a family atmosphere.   Many family gatherings
Have been celebrated at Rigatony’s.   So much that we can’t fit into the special room anymore are family has grown.
Thanks for the delicious food and many memories,. Congrats! Chris & Steve

Have many memories of good food with good friends at Rigatoni’s!  Brenda Verstraete
