    Riccardo’s was amazing! It was a beautiful evening to sit by the window, eating excellent food with good friends. I highly recommend this restaurant in Little Italy! This section of Boston is a must-see!

    We were seated right away. Our server was excellent. My dish was good (simple pasta, tasty) - others had the specialty dishes & loved them! We had 3 singers come in & each did a song. What a surprise- dinner & entertainment!

    The service was excellent and the staff was attentive. The manager or the owner checked on us and inquired about the quality of the dishes we ordered. The value of our meal was reasonable and the meal was tasty. If you don’t want to wait in line at other more popular establishments nearby, this restaurant presents a quality dining experience without competing for seating. You will not be disappointed.

    Incredibly tasty food! The service was impeccable, attentive but not overbearing. Everyone was very accommodating. We had the carpaccio, eggplant Parmesan and the gnocci with veal. Everything was delicious. The pistachio martini was a delightful way to close the meal. Definitely will return.

    Food was a mix- some plates great and some not hot or not cooked to the temperature asked (I ate the rack of lamb and asked for mediums rare; most was rare). Ambience was loud and a signing duo came out of no where and belted out some tunes that would have been preferably left for more practice runs. And to top it off, the duo proceeded to come by each table with a tip jar….and left the restaurant soon after they had a tepid reception from the guest including our table. The food was American-Italian…good but not great.
