A wonderful neighborhood restaurant. Great food, congenial and attentive staff. A local treasure.

Awesome service and the food is spectacular!

Great service! Our waiter was Covering most of the restaurant but was very attentive and accommodating. Our food was delicious! We had the lasagna, pasta carbonara, pizza and a specialty pasta. Everyone loved their food. The wine was good, as was the after dinner coffee. The waiter brought tiramisu for our birthday guest which was a nice surprise. It was a little pricey but Overall it was a lovely experience.

This was the second time I've been to Riccardo Enoteca; the first time was fantastic, but the second wasn't as good. I made a mistake in ordering the octopus, which came out as a whole octopus--too much! - and it was tough. Octopus has to be tender to be edible and it's much better cut into pieces. The arugula salad was a mountain of leaves and apart from a few bits of artichoke had little to recommend it apart from greenery. My husband's pizza with wild boar sausage, on the other hand, was very good and very substantial (we could have shared it). On my previous visit I had the seafood tagliatelle which was great, so I'll go back to that or have a pizza next time. The Tuscan house wine is also a winner.

i have reviewed in the past and will say it again, outstanding. I appreciate too the service. I have two gentleman who routinely help me and they are terrific.

Excellent experience! Delicious food and great service!

We love Ricardo Enoteca - the food is great quality and pretty authentic, the service is always attentive, the best Italian in the neighborhood.

Birthday!

Service was slightly pushy and not very friendly to me.

Food was good - but not great like I was hoping. My pasta was sitting in a puddle of oil. Not appetizing.
They were aware it was a birthday but did nothing special.

Our party expanded from 3 to 5. They accommodated with style and grace. The wines and cocktails were delicious as well as the food. The pinsa was on point with boar sausage.

food was average at best ... good service ... probably will not return

A rock solid neighborhood staple - I've never had a bad meal (or experience) there. Good food served by pleasant staff in a quieter wood panelled room. A few tables available outside weather permitting. Highly recommended

Neighborhood gem. Fantastic menu and people. Great appreciation for their wait staff. Well done ans keep up the terrific efforts

A lovely neighborhood spot - great ambiance, service and food. Awesome for dates and nights out with friends or family.

Excellent food, friendly and helpful service. We sat outside, which was very pleasant. Just an enjoyable evening at an outstanding neighborhood restaurant.

Had an unbelievable meal. Juan our server was very informative and steered us to the daca bean appetizer which we would have never selected but was great. Gnocchi was out of this world. Small cozy Italian vibe. Will go back for sure !

The food was amazing and our service was outstanding!! Will definitely be back

This is a must try Italian eats in Lincoln Park! We started with the caprese (freshest tomatoes) then were satisfied with all of our main entrees - Bolognese, rigatoni alla buttera, and 2 specials (1 with risotto and veal meatballs the other a truffle veg option). Also split the side asparagus and spinach among 4 adults - decent amount each. Finished with some gelato (strawberry was the best!) so delicious!

Forever and always our favorite restaurant! Sweet little terrace outside, warm and knowledgeable service, consistently delicious food.

Inside dining. Great food. Loved the Burrata pizza.

Excellent service and food!

We had a wonderful experience at Ricardo’s! The veal meatball appetizer and the branzino special particularly stood out. Excellent service and fun atmosphere, we will absolutely be going again and again! If you’re in Chicago looking for authentic Italian, check out Ricardo’s!

The food was slow coming from the kitchen. Quality of food 5 out of 10. Ambiance was superb but disappointing food.

Food was excellent, service was informative. Cozy interior, terrific place to eat.

Amazing service and quality food! The server was knowledgeable and attentive. Can’t wait to go back.

As always great food and service. A neighbourhood gem.

One of my favorite neighborhood gems. The food is always top notch, servers are attentive, great wine list and the homemade pasta rivals some of the best spots in Chicago. Came with two girlfriends and we sat outside - one of those perfect summer nights in the city and it feels a little like being in Europe. We split the truffle burrata with prosciutto and the salami pizza (crispier and more like a flat bread). I had the bucatini carbonara and the serving was huge and delicious. My friends had the seafood linguine special and cacio e pepe (off menu but they made it). Great date spot and perfect for family dinner too.

Delicious as always and excellent service

Great food, excellent staff-wonderful service, the manager Caesar is the best

Spectacular veal! Good wine list. Great service!

Super authentic. Great service. Too many excellent choices. Jose was GREAT.

Great little Italian restaurant, knowledgeable and courteous wait staff, delicious food and compatible wine selection.

This was the most phenomenal dinner my friend and I have had in ages… everything was perfect and spot on, and Juan our server was the absolute best! We will be back!

Both food and service were fabulous!!!! The only thing that could have helped the environment was to improve the acoustics.

Favorite Italian restaurant in Chicago. Absolutely love the staff, the food and the experience. Am definitely a regular and am thrilled to be. Have had almost everything on the menu. The lasagna is superb. The pizzas (particularly the calabrese) are amazing. And the calamari is the best! Jose, Juan, JP and Ceasar truly make the experience. Cannot recommend this place enough!

This was one of the best meals we’ve had. Everything was delicious and the service was impeccable.

A neighborhood gem. Small and cozy but doesn’t feel cramped. Can’t hear other diners. Food and service excellent.

Perfect little neighborhood place. The staff is A+! Favorite pizza in the city.

Food always outstanding. Service superb.

A quiet and intimate space with efficient and helpful staff who watch but don't hover or rush guests. Always a favorite place for well-prepared food and a "glad we came here" experience.
