    The live music was way too loud and distracting. We could barely hear our thoughts.

    We enjoyed our Friday night meal at Riccardo's. The caprese app was delicious, and the wine was very good. Our server was very busy and was clearly covering many tables so considering how busy it was, he was very good. Our meals were delicious as well. They sat us upstairs which was a big space - good for large parties. It became very noisy due to the large parties that were seated upstairs (it was just two of us). Overall, it was a good experience and we would be back!

    This Italian restaurant is mostly locals: jeans and T’s are the attire. Extremely family friendly and there were several tables seating 5+ for a standard sized restaurant. We were out of towners: me in a suit my wife in a Halston dress. My Wife loved the eggplant while I had the dinner Caesar salad. Their sauce was different and had a bite to it but not bitter. Everything was fresh and the service is fast as the place was packed. Reservations are mandatory. Worth the wait - I want to try a meat plate the next time.

    The food at this restaurant is average at best, particularly for the North End. Nothing really tasted fresh or homemade. The grilled meats were flavorless and not seasoned. We had to ask for olive oil with the bread. The house antipasto was meh. The things that were enjoyed at the table were the shrimp and the calamari. Stick with very basic pasta and maybe seafood if you go there. We won't be back.

    What an amazing experience! I was alone so I sat at the bar and Mike the bartender was so attentive and generous! I started out with the ricotta stuffed meatballs, the best meatballs I’ve ever had and I’ve been all over the world! I then had the Veal Parm and wow! So good. I highly recommend Ricardo’s when you’re in the North End!
