Italian
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.

    Shrimp Bruschetta appetizer was amazing. The 8 oz fillet was cooked just right (medium for me) tender and juicy. The Sea Bass was wonderful. Would highly recommend both dishes. Service was outstanding as well.

    We both had the pizza with pork, arugula and figs, which was great. The local IPA was not so great, it tasted watery, probably one of the worst IPAs I have ever had. Service was attentive and friendly.

    I had a really handsome server named Matthew. He was outstanding. He made sure my food was timed perfectly and helped me pick out a wonderful drink. The food was fantastic. I got a pizza and caesar salad. The salad was huge and I ended up taking home leftovers. I also enjoyed a dessert from the cafe that was a chocolate mousse bar. Everything was great and I will definitely be back!

    We had a nice young waitress but she did not know much about the menu items nor the wine selections. She did send her manager to help with wine but the recommended wine ended up not being available so she brought another sample. We had a pizza to share which was very good but the soup had very little flavor and I was disappointed I had ordered it. Both of my companions seemed to enjoy their pastas. I had to ask for a spoon and the drinks took quite awhile to deliver.

    Food was fine but service was horrible — front of house was not good (hospitality and service). Menu changed from fall/winter and it’s not great for spring 2023. Food was meh. Go to Espositos instead.

    We had a wonderful experience. The service was friendly and we were able to wait in a private area until the table was ready. We had cocktails and moved to our table and was greeted by the waiter. He was excellent and very professional. The food was outstanding and I was so full I barely made it out. Would recommend to everyone.

    Trevor was our server and he did an outstanding job. The food was delicious but the green beans needed a bit more cooking as they were basically hard and uncooked at all. The filet mignon was the best we have ever eaten.

    Overall, it was a good experience but definitely not great. This was our second time to this restaurant as we were here for a Campus Tour. Out last visit in 2021 was much better. We all ordered the pasta Fagiole soup which was good although oily from the pork in it. It would have been nice to know what a large bowl of soup it was so we could ordered accordingly. As a result, we had too much food that we couldn’t take home or wrap since we were checking out to leave the following morning on a long drive. The Margarita pizza didn’t have much taste at all and the dough was too mushy and soft. My son liked is fettuccini Alfredo ok, but it got to him. The sea bass was very good and the best thing ordered. Our waitress was ok but had to keep looking for her for things we needed like another drink, pepper, salt… Overall we were a bit disappointed for what we paid.

    Birthday dinner. We ordered the Antipasta Appetizer & our entrees. The appetizer was brought & was very good, but only got to enjoy a few minutes before our entrees were brought out. My ravioli looked as if it had been pre-cooked & sitting under a hot lamp. My husband ordered chicken-no idea how chicken is cooked that quickly unless it was also pre-cooked. He said it was good though. Our waiter apologized for the entrees coming out too quickly as another employee brought them out. He was very attentive. Enjoyed the tiramisu cheesecake for dessert. Atmosphere is nice.

    The service did not match the ambience and food. Our server didn’t know how to open a bottle of wine and we were served incomplete courses for our party of four for our salad and entrees.
