    The food was amazing! The futo maki is one of the best sushi’s I’ve ever had. The drinks were great - however, based on the prices of sushi, the drinks were a little expensive ($25). It was my girlfriend’s birthday and the free Prosecco and the wine cork gift made up for it. 9/10 recommendation 🙂

    Nice place to be on a cold rainy November evening! Service is knowledgeable and friendly. Food was good with high marks to the fried eggplant and crispy shrimp. The harissa half roast chicken was a generous portion, moist but a tad over seasoned with the dry rub which we found gritty and a tad too hot! Ambiance is warm and welcoming. Will be back. Great place for a pre-theatre meal.

    I was supposed to have lunch in a different place and saw Ricarda's on my way there. When I got to the place I really didn't like it and made a quick reservation to Ricarda's. I am so glad I did! The staff was wonderful, the place was beautiful, prices were approachable and I could talk to my friend instead of shouting over music. Really loved it, I would 10/10 recommend
