Best ribeye in town now. I hope after writing this I'll be able to get a table. Lol One of my girlfriends tried to take me here last year. We drove to where she thought it was (it had been her fave for years) and it wasn't there. We figured it must have closed because of Covid. Flash forward to a couple of months ago and I saw the sign on Jasper. I immediately snapped her a picture and said, I guess your place that you just HAD to take me to try isn't closed after all. We ended up parked in front of it during the Wine show at the conference Center recently which reminded us again. We made a reservation for the following night. BAM was she right! Rigoletto's is an intimate Italian family business. Like the greats! Well run. Fantastic staff and real attention to the customer. I only came for the Ribeye so I haven't had a chance to try their Italian fare. And lord knows I may never, she wasn't lying. The sauce they serve with the ribeye is incredible. Done in an almost honeyed jalapeño sauce, it's cooked to taste and not easily forgettable. It's sides are not as memorable, but it is served with gnocchi that we enjoyed very much. I'd like to say I'll be traveling down the street from home again to try their pasta. But I already have a reservation again for four for this dish again. Well done, Rigoletto's, well done. I thought I knew the two best steaks and their spots in town. I was wrong! Save me a seat after this review!
