excellent food, generous portions. Gianna was a great server. maybe we came in during a lull but the restaurant wasn't crowded at all and our time there was very relaxed. the penne alla vodka is delicious and their focaccia is 👌👌👌

Took the wife out for date night and had a great time. The server Rania was working a double but still had the energy to give fantastic service. She is absolutely the greatest. The food was really good as well.

Rico's isn't going to wow you, but if you're around and looking for a decent slice for lunch or whatever, you won't feel like you've wasted your time/money here. Staff is easy to deal with and very nice. Give em a shot
