First time here and definitely coming back! Came here with family and had a great time. The cashier/ server was super friendly and very helpful when ordering. We had a sit down dinner and they have a bread station to help yourself. Staff was great. They were attentive to the store needs and replenishing silverware as well as clean ups. Food was absolutely delicious! I had the cheese ravioli which tasted like someone grandma made it. Spaghetti and meatballs was great. Had it for lunch the next day.
They have been around forever and I had sort of forgotten about them - not for any reason in particular because I remember good meals there in the past but a friend mentioned them a few months back and they have become our take out go-to ever since. I LOVE the Asian salmon special and my family consistently enjoys their meals as well. The best thing about Rigatoni's is the staff - super welcoming, hospitable and friendly- even when they are busy. I was there a few weeks back and they had a group of elderly guests ordering and asking lots of questions and the cashier treated them with patience and respect- just like I would hope people would help my parents. I was also there when the line to order was 4 deep, the phone was ringing and it was hectic and a young man stepped away from doing prep work and invited the next guest to order at the back register. You can be sure to enjoy good food, warm hospitality and friendly smiles every time you visit Rigatoni's in Castro Valley!
Ordered to-go for pickup. This is my fourth time ordering the spaghetti and meatballs from Rigatoni's at Castro Valley, but pre-Covid, the meatballs had beef in them. This is the first time the meatballs were made of pork. Personally, I like that it's light on the salt, but if you prefer more intense flavor profiles, you may find it bland. Service here is always warm and friendly, and if you dine in, the ambiance is that small town Mom and Pop feel. Even to-go, they'll send you off with bread, butter with olive oil and and vinegar for dipping. Whenever I have a hankering for Italian but am not in the mood to cook, I'll get my spaghetti and meatballs fix from here. It might not be the most exciting food adventure, but it feels like wholesome, traditional Americana. Btw, if you go to their website and sign up for their email list, you automatically get a $5 off gift certificate.
What a great local restaurant! Great food selection as well as friendly staff. I love all of the pasta dishes at this location. Pasta is always just slightly al dente and the sauces have a yummy flavor. I enjoy the fettuccine as well as rigatoni noodles. The bolognese is delicious and the alfredo when I want to splurge. They have a bread bar which is great and you can enjoy the bread with butter or a little balsamic and EVOO. I will give away my best tip as well....they sell sweet street brownies and cookies. The salted caramel cookies inspired my latest cookie party entry (I made a homemade version I swear) and they are pretty much my favorite guilty pleasure. Sometimes I stop by and just grab a couple cookies to go :) Rigatoni's is a nice casual dining spot in The Village and a great spot for lunch or dinner.
