# Rizzo's House of Parm

Rizzo's House of Parm is the ultimate Toronto family destination for classic Italian-American comfort food in a vibrant, nostalgic setting. In 2026, it remains the go-to spot for the city's best chicken parm, served in portions large enough for the whole family. The retro atmosphere is welcoming for children, and the 'Matty's Famous' meatballs are a hit for all ages.

## Insider Tips
We found that the booths at the back are best for families with small kids who need a bit more enclosure. The best hack for toddlers here is the plain butter pasta—it's off-menu but they're happy to oblige. Contrast Tip: Most people go for the Chicken Parm, but the Eggplant Parm is a hidden gem that even picky eaters usually enjoy.
