Riccardo Michi comes from a restaurant Family in Milan established since 1943 called Girarrosto, one of the first Tuscan restaurants in town and still operating.

After moving to the US, Riccardo opened Sonny Bono, IL Giardino Ristorante and Madeo Ristorante in Beverly Hills. In 1987 he helped his cousin Roberto Ruggeri open the first Bice restaurant in New York City. Since then, he has worked in the opening of many of the restaurants in the group. In 2002 Riccardo moved to Chicago with his wife Veronica to be the executive chef of Bice on Ontario.

Finally Riccardo and Veronica, also a chef, decided to open their own place and in 2006 called Riccardo Trattoria. Considered by many to be the top Italian restaurant in town, receiving the Bib Gourmand from Michelin in 2011, 2012 and 2013.

Now, Riccardo and Veronica have opened Riccardo Enoteca, right across the street from Riccardo Trattoria on Clark.

    Always great food and wine, even cocktails. One of the best Carbonara and Lasagnes in the city.

    Wonderful food and wine; warm, professional service. Not trendy, just old school quality that’s increasingly hard to find. Been here many times and it never fails to please.

    Always superb. We came for our daughter's 3rd birthday and realized we have been every year on her bday including the day she was born! We love to food and the ambience. Don't skip the grilled Calamri. Hands down the best ever.

    First time there. Went on a Monday at 7:00 PM. They say they have valet parking, and they do, but fail to mention it is in partnership with the restaurant across the street. I made sure I was heading south on Clark so I would be on the correct side of the street. But saw no sign, so went inside and was told about the partnership. They need to indicate that the valet parking is on the northbound side of the street, not the southbound side. We actually were lucky enough to have a free street parking spot open up, that that did work out OK. So after a slow start, things picked up. Service was fine and our food was great! We sat inside and found the noise level to be higher (More energetic as openTable like to say) than anticipated. We go to a restaurant to enjoy good food and drink and Riccardo Enoteca certainly delivered on that! Would be happy to go back.

    Loved it. We've lived in the neighborhood for years but until last night, never ate at Riccardo's. Not only was the food excellent, but the service by Jose was perfect. Not all the tables were occupied so the noise level was quite satisfactory. We will be back again.

    I have been to the sister restaurant across the street many times but never to this one. The menus are similar and excellent and our server Jasmine was excellent. A very delightful evening. I finished my tuna for breakfast this morning and it was just as good day 2! I highly recommend Riccardo Enoteca
