At Rigatoni s they re all about the pasta! But, it s not just the pasta... it s about the sauces too! Since their sauce recipes go back for at least 4 generations customers will experience their real Italian family traditions. In May 1996 the small suburban Castro Valley, California community was eagerly awaiting the opening of their very first Rigatoni s Restaurant. It s overwhelming popularity was quickly evident. At Rigatoni s they specialize in pan-tossed to order pasta. They start with a half-pound of pasta in every dish and then add one of their incredible sauces. Next they top off the dish with variations such as delicious grilled chicken or authentic Italian sausage and savory oven roasted meatballs to bring out the WOW. They feature Ravioli, Lasagna, Tortellini and their mouthwatering Grilled Chicken that is marinated, grilled and topped with fresh sautéed mushrooms.
