Great food. I had Calzone and a slice. They were both very good. Only bad thing was it was Sunday and there was no football on any tvs.

All the food is good but I love coming to Rico's for its pizza. Good vibe - my kids' favorite pizzeria when they were young and we go for nostalgia and a great pie and beer these days. The service is unrushed, which some call slow but makes for a relaxing meal - very different from most places in this tourist town. And while there are sports on the big tv screens, easy to have conversations. Limited but very good selection of beers. If you are looking for a laid-back place for great pizza, Rico's is highly recommended

Really loved the pizza here. Nice thin crust and great tasting pizza sauce. Service fantastic!! If I had to be picky wish the cheese bread was cooked to golden brown, just a little bit more. Will be back!!

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a nice ramp up to the front door.

FOOD WAS SO GOOD!!!! Seating was pretty nice, and the bathrooms were quite clean! :D

Vegetarian options: Salads and some pizzas are clearly labeled as vegetarian.

Parking: The parking lot is pretty small since this is downtown Sarasota.

Kid-friendliness: As long as the kids are respectful, they’re ok to bring!

Called for PICK UP at 8:25. They stated they could only offer slices of pizza because they closed in 30 minutes!?! I've worked in many restaurants, have never heard anything like this. Just close at 8:30 then!!

Authentic Italian. This place can't be beat. The pizza really is the best south of New Jersey. The meatball sub was fantastic as well. If you're in the area this place is a must stop

I would give this location a 0 star if I could
The person taking the order has no idea on how to take an order! I ordered two pizzas to pick and and when we arrived we were told they were given to someone else
Then the story changed
Management is none existent!
My last order with them

I called to order a pickup order at 9:36 and they close at 10 and they told me they can't do my order because they were done for the night. When a place says they close at 10 that should mean they should take orders till 10 not 930. If that's the case maybe they should advertise they close at 9:30. I won't ever order from there again.

I’ve been coming to Rico for a few months now I’ve been taken care of by Leah and Abby for lunch most of the time. Great service great attention, which is why I keep coming back again and again love the food. Love the service. Keep up the good work.

First night in town and went with Rico’s. Got four pies; cheese, pepperoni and sausage. Along with some garlic knots. The cheese and pepperoni were decent. Crust was a little thick for my liking. The sausage was very fine and not how I like it. Seemed like it was similar to what we would get in school. The garlic knots were on point, definitely my favorite out of everything. The pricing was reasonable.
