“ I went to Riga Tony's for the first time today. WOW!!! I was immediately taken aback by this place. It's a legit Italian deli and bakery with absolutely everything you are looking for. They have fresh pasta, salads, sauces, gorgeous meats, and there's also a very cool restaurant attached to the deli/bakery. I was greeted as soon as I walked in, then was engaged in conversation by the nicest people working behind the counter. As I waited for my to-go order, I had time to look at all of the incredible foods they had. I could actually go to this place everyday! In fact, I'm going back tomorrow :). If I could give 10 stars, I would. ”
“ We had Riga-Tony's cater our party. Super smooth experience. Great service leading up to it, extremely accommodating with our request for delivery and setup, helpful with determining the amounts needed for our attendance, and after they did THEIR part, we had lots of folks asking where we got the food from, because it was delicious. For a hectic party with lots of facets to put together -- the catering ease from Riga-Tony's was (blissfully) something we didn't have to stress over. Thanks to Tiffany, Mike and Joe especially. ”
“ 10/10 experience! Food was outstanding and priced well. Has the old style Italian Chicago deli feel but the service was out of this world! Everyone was so welcoming, kind and friendly- can’t say enough good about how lovely everyone was! Definitely a gem, and will be coming back often! ”
“ Wonderful, small, honey like an old Italian deli. In fact, they have a complete deli too. You have to try the eggplant caprese sandwich and they are famous for their Italian beef. Delicious soup, too. We live 30.mi away but are happy to do the drive. ”
“ Their Italian beef is the best. Love making my own sandwiches. I wish they'd sell some hogie rolls in packs. They did when the uncles ran it! Soups are great too. Seafood ravioli is delicious with the garlic sauce, but it's very rich so may not want it to be the main course. ”
“ What a wonderful deli. Top-notch high-quality you can’t find anything better their salads sauces, desserts everything is fabulous. Their meat and sausages are outstanding top-notch high-quality . Some of the best service I’ve ever received. Five stars is not enough To describe them. Picked up linguine vodka sauce, and their Italian sausage made an outstanding dinner. ”
“ My friend and I stopped in to see what they had to offer. We were in there for awhile since they had so many things to choose from as a take home item. We were in town visiting and wanted to take something back. I bought some fettuccine sauce and spinach spaghetti noodles. My friend bought some ready to heat and eat soup. We could have bought one of everything! The hot food bar is fabulous, the sweet treats looked so yummy and the overall selection of items were great. The staff was friendly and helpful. If I lived close by I would probably gain 100 pounds from shopping at this store weekly. A must stop if visiting nearby Lake Geneva! It's a little ways out of Lake Geneva but worth the drive. ”
