Such a wonderful place to eat and enjoy the evening. If you get a chance to attend one of the wine dinners they host, do it! They are very special!

What a wonderful evening and dining experience at Alza Italian Kitchen in RSM. We were greeted by the lovely hostesses and seated at a nice high top inside. The outdoor patio was hopping and the musician was fantastic. We started with margaritas and the stuffed mushrooms which were excellent. Reigna was our amazing server and so nice, professional and kind. We ordered our entrees with my wife selecting the linguine with shrimp and I had the creamy arriabata with sausage. The food was nicely prepared and presented as well as delicious. We also met Ryan the GM who was very personable and quite professional. Scott the chef also came out and was so kind and spoke of his 48 years of experience in the kitchen and his creations are definitely worth the visit as we highly recommend this fine establishment. Tamara was a sweetheart and quite professional while delivering our bread and entrees. Vidal ensured that our table was clean and orderly. The TVs inside give a wide array of choices and Go Dodgers, yes both playoff games were on. We finished with coffee and their in-house made cheesecake which was fantastic.
I highly recommend this amazing place and they serve breakfast on the weekend and have awesome happy hour specials weekly and live entertainment.
I will be back and hope to see all my Yelpers there as well.

Had a nice lunch today at Alza in RSM to take a break from shopping. We sat at the bar, and Bryce was our server-bartender extraordinare. The ambiance was positive and uplifting, and Bryce provided stellar service. We both had Don Julio Blanco with club soda and three limes muddled and mint, which were made to perfection. We ordered lunch, and my wife had the grilled chicken panini with a house salad, and I had the eggplant parmesean with a house salad. Both dishes were prepared and presented well and tasted very good. Talking with Bryce, he noted that they also have entertainment, and we will definitely be back. Highly recommended

Just recently stopped in for brunch as I was in the area again. Ben did an absolutely amazing job today. Quick and timely, great attitude. I have been twice now over the last several months as I live out of state and highly recommend. You will not be disappointed in service or food. Thanks a bunch for great attitude and atmosphere. I hope to visit again soon!" Thanks again Ben, you were awesome!

Alza is one of my favorite places in RSM - the best pet-friendly pario with cozy couches & fire tables , and the most amazing food & service ! GM Ryan & team ensure an incredible experience every time - The Chef Scott visits the tables too ! The cauliflower pizza and dirty martini are must haves . Monica , Emily, Mike, Edgar and all team at Alza - Cheers to you !!

Their plates and silverware are filthy most of the time. You will have to ask for new silverware multiple times because there is food on the silverware. The food is okay not the best but it’s still good to tie you over and do not get the chicken wings they are hard and really do not come off the bone. The customer service is nice very kind and joyful and the atmosphere is a little bit plan and could use some more decorations.
