About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Good for business meals
Inspired by a hilltop town of palaces, vineyards and poets, Ariccia Cucina is a modern Italian escape. Small plates of arancini and fresh bruschetta to share, herbs tucked into slow-roasted porchetta, vino bianca and rosso on the tables, conversations buzzing and glasses clinking—at long last, a taste of authentic Italy. Our large open kitchen invites you into an exciting culinary world. The cozy fireside lounge or bar are great places to relax after work with a delicious drink and appetizer from the Bar Menu. Or catch up with friends and enjoy beautiful weather with al fresco dining on the open-air patio.

    Nice atmosphere although music not appropriate or appealing for an Italian restaurant. Food: pasta (shrimp linguine) had a very good flavor. Pizza was so-so. Wine selection limited, overpriced. Service: good, attentive. Probably not a repeat place for us. Can have as good or better for less in many Italian sites.
    Ariccia CucinaResponded on April 20, 2025
    Dear Keith, Thank you for dining with us and for your kind words about our flavorful Shrimp Scampi Linguini and the attentive service provided by our team. However, we sincerely apologize for any concerns you may have had and will review your comments closely to identify areas for improvement. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope you’ll consider visiting us again, giving us the opportunity to exceed your expectations. Sincerely, Brian Shaner - General Manager
