Riccardo's Ristorante

I’ve been to this restaurant many times, so I chose it for a special birthday celebration. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a big disappointment, and I won’t be coming back or recommending it to anyone.

First, we waited nearly an hour and a half for our food—way too long. On top of that, despite spending $260 for the meal and noting it was a birthday, the staff completely forgot the complimentary Prosecco. It might seem like a small detail, but it took away from the whole celebratory feel.

Overall, it was an unpleasant experience and definitely not worth repeating.

Everyone's food was good. I had the wild boar and mushroom fettuccine. Meat was a bit tough and I didn't have any mushrooms in mine. Could have used a bit more cream sauce also. I also needed to add salt and pepper. Way way under seasoned. Dessert was very good!

Riccardo’s was recommended to us by a dear friend and we were quite impressed. Zack, our wonderful waiter made us feel like we were the only ones in the restaurant, the food was top notch, and we could tell that there was top notch ingredients that made it so. We’ll be back?

Delicious fresh pasta with mushrooms and onions blended to perfection; soup with a subtlety rich stock and perfectly sized pieces of beef and potato; crisp salad adding texture for the pillow soft pasta; paired with a smooth and velvety red wine(Brunello); finished with decadent chocolate cake and chocolate gelato, espresso (Illy). Marcos waited our table and was upbeat, knowledgeable, and didn't miss a beat in providing excellent service as he served excellent food. He described the menu in mouth- watering style so we are eager to return soon. Thank you for a wonderful first experience which definitely will not be our last!

This is a super cute spot with a great ambiance. The fountains outside remind me of being in italy. The servers aren’t perfect but are polite and attentive enough. I had high hopes for the food but was very disappointed. I had a Brunello to drink and it was excellent. The bread and olive oil, presented with the drinks, was also excellent. I had a good gazpacho as well. The pasta (I had the arabbiata) came from a boxed noodle most likely and was not cooked as well as I would have liked. I was really hoping an Italian restaurant with good reviews would be serving fresh pasta and that was sad. The sauce was too salty. I think they just added too much parmigiana Regianno and the used small ground pieces so they mixed into the sauce. That’s what I decided was the source of the saltiness. The meatballs were a bit bland. My partner had the lasagna and I tried it. I think it had some sort of shredded meat inside, and it was very wet. I was pretty disappointed as this is their Friday night chef. I would expect this is their current best food.

I was very hopeful as this place is close to home, and is super cute, but in the end it just reminded me why I usually eat in the city rather than the suburbs for a good meal.

Parking: The lot was very full when we got there and people are double parking (the front asks you to let them know if you parked someone in)

I've eaten here multiple times and have never been disappointed. The food is delicious, and the chefs are very talented at both menu planning and cooking. The servers are the most personable, kind, and helpful that you will find anywhere. I have been to Italy twice and this is the closest you will come to an authentic Italian experience in the states that I know of. I loved every ravioli dish that I tried here, especially a cheese and mushroom one that they had on the menu once. It is the first place I want to go for a nice dinner when we get the opportunity. My husband's parents held our rehearsal dinner here and it was lovely. We couldn't speak higher of any restaurant! As an aside, I read through some of the other reviews and saw a few people complaining about a wait time after ordering – this is standard for nice restaurant that is spending time making quality food for you! It's worth any wait!
