Nour was amazing taking such good care of us. We got delicious appetizers enjoying from traditional cheese sticks to perfect calamari. Then pizza and pasta that made everyone happy. The boys loved their works one while we ladies loved a prosciutto and feta one. And we finished with tiramisu for dessert. Drinks we also good. So for a budget friendly option, that you can also order as delivery, we highly recommend Rico's.

I don't know what happened but you may as well order from whatever box chain pizza you prefer. This location has jumped the shark

Ricos is definitely one of the best pizza joints around. Their Philly Cheesesteak pizza is seriously on point, a real winner. Plus, the staff is efficient and friendly.

So yummy! I got the gluten free Hawaiian and a small Greek salad delivered. Perfect for two people. And it was fabulous! Rico’s is now on speed dial❤️

Hi all!
We are staying at the hotel across the street, and since there is no kitchen, we’ve had to order food from here two days in a row.
What we experienced is honestly unacceptable.
On the first day, we ordered three dishes. The pasta was inedible. The sauce was sour, the flavor was completely off, and it was impossible to eat. The “Parmigiano Reggiano” pasta was served without tomato sauce at all, just dry pasta with cheese. No balance, no logic, no taste.
Today was even worse. We ordered plain pasta from the kids’ menu, literally just boiled pasta and were charged $7.50 (before tax and tip). No sauce. No olive oil. No seasoning. Nothing. The pasta was overcooked, stuck together, and completely bland. Even our child refused to eat it.
Charging that price for plain boiled pasta, especially for a child, feels like a 1000% markup for something that costs pennies to make. This is not “simple food,” it’s careless and disrespectful to customers.
If you’re going to charge restaurant prices, you need to serve restaurant-quality food, not bare, tasteless pasta on a plate. Extremely disappointing experience.

This is the best bar I've ever been to in awhile, this place bring joy to travelers and locals alike. Friends and family are welcome and I highly recommend this place. Florida doesn't do pizza quite like this, I insist you get a taste for yourself.
