Rizzi is the first President of the Emilia Sammartino Lodge and a current member who provides Rizzo's Malabar Inn as the meeting place for Lodge #2831 

Rizzi writes a cook book for children and presents cooking classes to area children

introducing them to Italian traditions and recipes. 

This cookbook is filled with colorful history of Crabtree, and specifically Rizzo’s Malabar Inn.

This hard-cover book also provides a glimpse into our kitchen, with favorite 

recipes from the restaurant, as well as 

DeFabo Family traditions passed down from generation to generation. 

One thing is for certain… “Cooking with Rizzi” will entertain you, bring back treasured memories, 

and help you prepare some of the same meals that our family has been serving for 75 years.
