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.

    I went for my mom’s birthday. She has dementia so I’m always skeptical about bringing her to new places. Everyone was SO friendly and understanding...the waitresses and the other patrons. The ambience was perfect. My mom and I had a GREAT time!!! And the food was SUPERB!!! Definitely bring your appetite as the portions are family sized. Lol. We ordered shrimp scampi and they split it between the two of us and we still left with two to-go containers! The food reminded me of authentic Italian from Italy, not like that other restaurant who’s name I won’t mention. We had a wonderful time and a sweet angel blessed my mom and I with a free meal!!! Best bday she’s had in a while! We’ll definitely be returning in the future.

    Best fettuccine Alfredo I’ve ever tasted. Creamy and al dente. Two can split that dish

    Dear Diana, We're honored to have earned such high praise. Our Fettuccine Alfredo is an elevated classic, crafted with our house-made pasta and velvety smooth sauce; we're glad you found it to be the best you've ever had!

    Food was average Italian. No bread is given with your meal. Services was a little slow. No glass option for Chianti, only bottle.
    Ariccia CucinaResponded on May 20, 2025
    Dear James, We want every guest to enjoy an unforgettable Italian meal, so we're truly sorry to hear that we fell short of your expectations. Thank you for your suggestion to offer Chianti by the glass. As this Tuscan favorite is popular among our patrons, we’ll certainly take your recommendation into consideration. We’d love the opportunity to serve you again and delight you with a meal to remember. Sincerely, Brian Shaner - General Manager

    Our waitress spoke very little English. She messed up four drinks during our dining time. She disappeared for substantial periods of time and we could not get consistent service. The entrees were marginal.
