I had the beef stroganoff and my wife the vodka chicken. The stroganoff was good and the salad was very good. The white chairs in the main dining area are a little odd for Montana so we just sit in the bar area, my comfort zone, plus it's more intimate with a date. I've tried their pizza for lunch and it's good but it would be better if they knocked a few dollars of the price and cut the size so it was more appropriate for lunch. It's a great combo with salad, so keep that. Can't really bring any left overs back to work and eating the whole 10" pie will put you to sleep for the afternoon. See pizza Hut for a ball park estimate of a personal pie size.

My wife and I have eaten here a handful of times and so far have only shared the Thai Pie pizza each time. It's so good, the ginger peanut sauce is amazing, we have yet to branch out to something new. I love this pizza! We have a similar problem with constantly ordering the Ooeey Gooey(sp?) Cake for dessert do to it's consistent yumminess, though during our last visit I found the strength to try something new and went with the apple crisp. This is now my favorite although my wife still prefers the gooey cake, but if you're a dessert fan you really can't go wrong with either!

I haven't been here forever because I thought it was an average place to eat. I heard they did a renovation so I wanted to go and check out the new look. The outside looks the same as always with a huge casino sign on the side of the building which always kinda turns me off personally. On the inside the renovation looks great with awesome Asian themed architectural elements, the only problem, it is an Italian restaurant. It reminded me of a Susi bar rather than a pizza and pasta place. Don't get me wrong it was wonderful just themed wrong. My girls had to go to the bathroom as soon as we got there and you could tell the overlooked the bathrooms in the renovation. They were dirty and run down. The food was great I got the loaded lobster pizza which was great, my wife had the angry lobster pasta and like one other review said she didn't get much lobster with it. The girls ended up eating my pizza because the Mac & Cheese was bland, no flavor at all. For Great Falls it is above average and I will probably be going back there more often.

Love love love their pasta and pizza! I can not get enough of the chicken Alfredo. With home made oven roasted garlic & fresh ingredients. As I'm a native to Great Falls but no longer live in state, it's the first place I stop when visiting family.

I have had four meals here now and loved everything I've tried! Their cheesy flatbread is delicious, great selection of local beers, amazing pasta and their drunken chicken pizza is to die for. You can have them deliver or order takeout too. Can't wait to go back for their salted caramel crunch cake again!

My server, Bill, suggested the Thai noodles. I was not disappointed. Had the 'Lite' portion and it was perfect for lunch. Came out nice and hot both in temp and spice. Not a bad price either. Overall was pleased. And thumbs up to Bill for being honest :) oh and well priced drinks as well.

Went out for dinner with family. I had pizza and it was surprisingly good. My dad's soup was wonderful, but his sandwich was bland. Daughter couldn't stop commenting on how good their Mac and cheese was. Would definitely go again, but be mindful that the menu isn't perfect. Desserts were rather disappointing, I'd probably opt out next time.

I haven't been here since January, but I think it's the best place to eat in Great Falls, especially for your money. Service, food, atmosphere, and price are all great. I always get pasta, but I believe the pizza is good too. Can get a little busy, and sometimes have to sit close to others, but who cares? Great Falls is lucky to have a place like this!

Samantha S.
Try their Tomato Bisque! Best in town. I always get the soup and if I want a larger meal I order garlic butter noodles and use the soup as a sauce for them. I could live off of that soup!

Both times we have gone in this place since they revamped it have been a great experience. Hubbie is still crying because they took the muscles off the menu, he needs to get over it. He substituted with Clams Casino and was blown away. I had Jazzfest Linguine and was very pleased with myself for making such an excellent menu choice. Interesting and delicious food, great atmosphere, wait staff that is good at what they do.

All in all, a nice date night. Drinks were nice and strong but the food portions were a little small for the price. The decor is odd where the restaurant meets the casino but it was overall an enjoyable evening.

Well after my third visit, I will say that it's an Average place. Their mac and cheese seems a bit pricey for something that I could make easily at the house. Service definitely a lot to be desired. Was maybe four tables seated in the place and it took forever to even get our drinks, let alone our dinner. If you have all afternoon/evening, give it a shot.

Estelle K.
Great food and awesome service from our waiter, Sid. The Thursday drink menu is incredible! $1.00 shots, $1.50 beers and $2.50 glasses of wine. The spaghetti was just how it should be and the Caesar salad was neat with mixed greens and tomato. If I lived here this would be my regular place for sure.

I had a starter, cocktail, and main course. Starter was steamed clams, they were decent. Lacking a little slat and acid but decent for Montana. Cocktail was the classic mojito, I was less the desirable. Lacking the mint and Lime taste the a true mojito should have. More of a carbonated water and liquor taste. For my main course I had angry lobster, It was lacking in a lot if ways. Lobster was way over cooked and the sauce overpowered the special lobster taste. Lots of large chunks of raw garlic but the pasta was cooked to near perfectly. Overall a strange concept for a restaurant Asian Italian fission. Good atmosphere and decent service. I wish they did not have a gaming room attached like every other place in Montana. I would recommend it but have them avoid the angry lobster.

While I didn't actually eat the food, or even step foot inside (I'm in Florida), I did call and speak to Angela she was incredibly helpful in setting up a lovely evening for my parents on my mother's birthday. She set them up with a nice, romantic table, dessert at my request and made sure they were well taken care of. When I called to see if they had made it and all went well, she advised they had a great dinner and were next door in the casino enjoying themselves. Thank you, Angela, and all the staff, for making my mom's night so special!!!

Best pizza in Great Falls. House salad was good, but the tomato bisque my wife blew it away. Then we had the mushroom artichoke pizza with caramelized onions and had lobster added. Amazing. And our server Jake was awesome. Very professional knowledgeable and fun...

Rikki's is awesome for Italian food and the service has always been great. Good portion sizes and the Italian dishes are all original. I know for a fact that every time I go here I am going to get a good meal, at a good price with awesome service. You wont be disappointed for choosing to eat hear.

Yum yum! angry lobster linguini is so good.

Drunken chicken Pizza is the best pizza in town. Sorry Howard's.
Rikki's catered a work function, and I'm sure glad they did. Their BBQ chicken salad was tasty, I always love Gorgonzola in a salad, and the chicken made it substantial. The vodka pasta, however, was the real showstopper. Penne in a spicy, creamy tomato sauce with mushrooms and sausage. I think I had fifths. If I'm ever craving pasta in Great Falls, now I know where to go.

My husband loves the pizza here. Super thin crust and a savory pizza sauce. I have had a salad, made with good greens, and a light touch on the veggies. Pleasant atmosphere. Very pleasant service.

WARNING: DO NOT order the angry lobster linguini.... Let's just say, most of it is not actually lobster but they charge lobster price. I didn't want to make a scene but I'm never going there again. You people are all fools for going there. They put crawfish in place of the lobster and put only a few real lobster pieces in there for you. I don't understand why they would do this. How could you charge people then persuade them to get extra lobster, make them pay for it then not even give them lobster?!?! RIDICULOUS!!!! that's false advertisement!!!! Our waiter forgot our soup but still charged us for it, when we told him he responded and instead of saying sorry, he recommended we come back and get a waiter who will actually get it for us because it's really good. Well, why didn't you just do your job and get it for us in the first place? We won't be back to even try it! The guy was rather pompous anyways and I didn't care too much for his company. Thank you for recommending the angry lobster, I hope no one ever takes your suggestions again. I only liked the cheesy flat bread although there wasn't enough cheese to call it "cheesy" we also ordered the mac and cheese in "lite" size but let me tell you, by "lite" they mean kids size. That piece of chicken was barely a piece of chicken and the mac and cheese were over cooked and dry and not saucy enough. I suggest you all go to Boston's... Much more worth your money... this place was so disappointing because it looked like it would be more high end. I guess I can't expect too much from great falls. What a joke this restaurant is. Get it together. We left a small tip although they didn't deserve any of it... You should be paying me back for the extra "lobster" you charged me for because we both know crawfish is cheap, especially when it's not fresh.

We ordered the artichoke and cheese dip. Very tasty! I'd have pictures but we are it before I thought about it. Oops. The house salad was better than any house salad I've ever had. I tried the drunken chicken pizza and would order this again in a drunken heartbeat! The crust was a kind of rolled dough and not like regular pizza where it's jus one piece of bread. It kinda fell apart as you are it. So good. And the pizza was thin enough that it was all flavor and not too heavy. The 14" was six slices and two guys ate the whole thing. Add a salad and an app and it's a perfect meal.

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
