"I was craving chicken parm so I stopped in for take-out. I waited about five minutes, with staff walking by me without so much as a greeting much less an offer to help or even an assurance that someone would be with me soon. I was really craving that chicken parm so I waited a few more minutes until someone finally took my order. The food came out in a reasonable period of time since prep cooks make trays of it in advance. A salad came with with my meal but... not so much. What they call a salad is a handful of lettuce and a container of store bought Caesar dressing. None of the things you would expect to find in a Caesar salad were included, like shredded parmesan cheese or croutons, much less anything you find in a standard house salad. I do not consider lettuce alone a salad. It's just lettuce. The chicken parm, however was very good."

"Let me start off I am a local and a repeat customer and all my visits to this restaurant have been truly good this is the first time I had very poor food and I will explain why. I ordered a 12 inch cauliflower pizza and a Caesar salad. & 2 drinks the drinks were fine the Caesar salad was incorrectly made it was just plain lettuce and grated cheese I asked them to hold the croutons and what I got was nowhere near what a true Caesar salad should be. There was no romaine lettuce, anchioves (optional), olive oil, dijon mustard, mayonnaise, lemon juice & garlic and a good Ceasars dressing (they served me 2 little cups of Kens Ceasar Dressing) I mean seriously just regular salad and grated cheese. The pizza was paper thin and the pepperoni (only about 13 pieces...lol) and mushroom were sparse, also the pizza itself tasted undercooked. Please see photo's, My server Rachel was outstanding. This is not what I expected from this visit or the great tasting food I usually get. Sadly I can no longer recommend this restaurant, please take your taste buds and money elsewhere as thier food as gone way down in taste quality."

"We stoped in for lunch on a weekday in September 2023. Before we even were inside, an employee we think was named Craig, welcomed us to Riccardo's. We would not have known he was an employee, had he not welcomed us. One inside, our waiter, whose name was Bob, was also quite friendly and helpful. Riccardo's (which I found out was his first name), uses tablets as menu's. It took a little playing around to figure it out, but worked well once we familiarized ourselves with the tablet. We ordered our food which came out fairly quick. Both of us thought the food was very good. The prices were reasonable as well. The food was not perfect, but better than most. As such, I still gave them five stars because Riccardo's did a good job of providing us with a nice atmosphere to eat a very good lunch, at a reasonable price. As I said, not everything is perfect, but they did very well and better than most. I'm pretty sure that we will return again."

"Great spot. Food is always on point. Red sauce is some of the best out there. Meatballs melt in your mouth. Great happy hour specials daily. Closed Sundays. Lunch special combos are a great deal. The Italian sausage was a bit dry and chewy but had a nice flavor. We'll be back to try more items. Looking forward to trying the clams, especially at half-off happy hour!"
