About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
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.

    The menu has changed and some dishes we have enjoyed for years are no longer on it. Disappointed but not surprised. Food is still excellent.

    We haven't been to Riccardo Enoteca for several years and I forgot how special it is. It's a charming venue, the service is excellent, and the food is outstanding. Try the tuna tartar for a really different and delicious starter. The risotto that accompanied the pork (a special) was exceptional. Try the ricotta cheesecake for dessert. In fact, everything we ordered was delicious. We'll be back soon.

    Riccardo’s is one of the best, and one of my favorite, Italian restaurants in Chicago. The food and service were excellent, which is why my husband and I return often. The food is always carefully prepared and served. The wine list offers many excellent Italian wine options, in price as well as region.
