Ragozzino's Pizza & Restaurant 1428 Meriden Road, Waterbury, CT 06705

"An amazing place to get some exquisite traditional real tasting Italian food. Their penne, El vodka is very delicious. Also their meatballs are great and their sauce is A1 and thats coming from an Italian,I know. Also they have friendly staff and their cook is a very communicative live soul with a vibrant attitude making for great customer service . There’s not many good spots in Waterbury these days but this A1"

"We had a family party at Ragozzino's, the food was excellent, & the service was so pleasant. Very friendly plus the servings are generous."

"While growing up, my family would bring me here all the time. I wanted to show my kids how good the food and service was and it was honestly a huge disappointment. Service was not great. They used to welcome you and talk to you so friendly and engage in conversation. Now they take awhile to even notice you’re there and just tell you to pick a seat. The waitress wasn’t nice at all. Not sure if she was having a bad day, but she just seemed rude. It felt awkward being in there and was not the same. Then we got our food, and it was not good at all. I didn’t want to say anything, but it just was not good at all. It is not what I remember growing up. Like I said, I used to love coming here, now it’s just not the same. The service, atmosphere or food. Hope they can turn things around for the better. It’s sad seeing a restaurant you love go downhill."

"Good pizza and grinders. I usually get the chicken parm calzone which is excellent (and huge). I have also had the chicken parmesan and eggplant parmesan which were excellent. This is a true family owned and operated Italian eateary. The food is all fresh and well made. I have never had a bad meal or dish that was not fresh. Give it a try and you won't be dissapointed. The portions are big and the prices are very reasonable. I usually end up finishing my meal because I make sure to come with an appetite when I go because the food is so good I feel the need to always try and eat it all and not take any home but you could easily make two meals put of most dishes. After looking at other reviews I found it suspicious the only bad reviews were people who had either 1 or max 4 reviews all of which if you checked their history only post bad reviews. I would ignore them and look at how many 5⭐ reviews they get from highly rated reviewers like myself and then judge for yourself. I only add this because I own my own business and hate Internet trolls who hide behind a keyboard and bash businesses and never have written a positive review. Ex employee ex bf/gf with a fake profile who knows. Trust me the food is excellent and I eat there often. And my review history shows I rate all sorts of businesses good and bad but fairly. Give Ragozzinos a try and judge for yourself. I'm sure you'll agree the food is great."
