"Rizzo's Malabar Inn Restaurant Review. The Malabar Inn of Rizzo is one of the best preserved secrets of Western Pennsylvania. Located in the heart of the small landscape town of Crabtree, the Defabo family has been offering its distinct Italian taste for the last 50 years. The restaurant is a South Italian spaghetti house with homemade dishes that attract people from all over the region. Over the years I have visited numerous Italian restaurants, such as the Spaghetti Warehouse in the Strip District and Buca di Beppo in Station Square. Although I enjoyed their meals, I still believe that Rizzo’s Malabar Inn is the best in the area. The beautifully decorated dining rooms offer a beautiful but relaxed atmosphere that is open to all ages. Each room is carefully decorated with traditional Italian decor and invites customers both in leisure and business. The world-class wart employees never fail to feel customers feel like they are home. The family chefs have and operate this restaurant since the early 1930s with a family recipe that has been passed on for over four generations. From their homemade pasta and pizzas to the tasteful calfs parmesan, these timeless favorites do not disappoint. My personal favorite remains her signature gnocchi alla telefono, a recipe of homemade gnocchi mixed with molten provolone cheese and covered in Rizzo's signature marinara sauce. In addition to these traditional dishes, there are delicious steak and seafood options. A gluten-free menu and hearty meals are also offered. In addition to these wonderful restaurants, Rizzo’s Malabar Inn offers classic desserts such as almond cream cake, homemade Gelato and Tiramisu. In the fifteen years I had eaten in this restaurant, I had only positive experiences with delicious hot meals. On a five-star scale, I would easily evaluate Rizzo’s Malabar Inn due to its consistent culinary quality and magnificent service. I would recommend this fine facility to all those who have the opportunity to visit."

I opted for the seven-course menu, and it was fantastic. One thing I was really looking forward to was the Italian ice cream, but unfortunately, the waiter informed us that they had run out of the supplies needed to make it. Instead of making us wait, the staff ended up treating us to delicious chocolate sunflower ice cream. We eventually did get the Italian ice cream, but sometimes you just have to be flexible with what's available. Overall, Rizzo's is a place everyone should try at least once! View menu

I really enjoy Rizzo's. It's an excellent place for families and large groups. The food is traditional Italian—nothing too unusual, but it’s always good. However, that’s not the main reason I keep coming back. Last night, we went for Jamz Wednesdays, which offered half-priced wine. We sat on the terrace and got to listen to Scott, Greg, and Rob from the Clarks, making the evening even more fun. The food featured the classic Italian recipes we love, and it’s always a blast to hang out with friends here.

My Go-to Italian place. As another reviewer mentioned, the atmostphere is a bit dated, but I love the food here. Love their sauce. I don't think I've ever had anything I didn't like, and family and friends enjoy coming here as well. The portions are huge, and I always end up with leftovers for another meal or two. Favorites are meatball or chicken parmesan. Some of the seasonal dishes I've tried have been excellent as well. I've been here many times, and with few exceptions, the service has been good as well. If I had one critique, it would be that they need slightly larger drink glasses. The glasses are so small, that when filled with ice you don't actually get much to drink and end up wait...
