Riccardo started his career at a very young age in Milan's prestigious "GIRARROSTO" family owned. Then, in 1982 he moved to the United States and he opened the famous Sonny Bono's in Los Angeles. In 1987 he started to work with his cousin Roberto Ruggeri, with him he opened Bice New York, Los Angeles and many others around the world.

Together with his wife (and sous chef), Veronica, and his cousin (and hostess), Barbara, he decided to continue his gastronomic artistry and creativity in his restaurant named after himself "Riccardo Trattoria."

Here through the craftsmanship of an Italian food connoisseur, dishes are prepared with an almost zen-like essentiality that has shaped Riccardo's professional and existential life course. Some highlights of the menu are Veal Chop Milanese, Veal Shank Osso Bucco, Pappardelle with Short Rib Ragu, various classic Rissotto preparations, and for dessert options like Panna Cotta, Homemade Tiramisu and Tuscan Ricotta Cheesecake round out the menu.

Our dinner was fantastic! Beautiful ambiance and impeccable service. The veal Parmesan is to die for! After dinner I got the affogato which tasted like I was back in Italy. VERY authentic Italian dinner! We’ll be back!!

Good restaurant with a great reputation. The only time open for reservation was 4p. We were the first ones there. The food was very good; but I expected better for $ 36 Pescatarian Risotto. It tasted reheated, and the texture was off so I would not recommend. Not a good choice since risotto takes a while to cook, I should have figured it was made the day before and reheated so then overcooked. The other two diners liked their entrees much more.

Food as usual was outstanding for us - pasta dish (my husband had), shared varicote verde, arancini balls appetizer for me, tiramisu, and ice cream with lots of berries. We were seated quickly, even though we arrived early for our reservation, gave our order, received dinner, dessert, and check out all within 1 1/4 hours. However, the restaurant was extremely crowded (too much so really), and cost us $110 including tip, not alcoholic drinks. It was more pleasant last summer when we could sit outside for dinner. That is something for us to remember.

As always, the food and service was impeccable. When I couldn't decide between two pasta dishes, our server brought out a half portion of each! Very cozy dining room - Riccardo's is a neighborhood gem.
