About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
Riccardo started his career at a very young age in Milan's prestigious "GIRARROSTO" family owned. Then, in 1982 he moved to the United States and he opened the famous Sonny Bono's in Los Angeles. In 1987 he started to work with his cousin Roberto Ruggeri, with him he opened Bice New York, Los Angeles and many others around the world.

Together with his wife (and sous chef), Veronica, and his cousin (and hostess), Barbara, he decided to continue his gastronomic artistry and creativity in his restaurant named after himself "Riccardo Trattoria."

Here through the craftsmanship of an Italian food connoisseur, dishes are prepared with an almost zen-like essentiality that has shaped Riccardo's professional and existential life course. Some highlights of the menu are Veal Chop Milanese, Veal Shank Osso Bucco, Pappardelle with Short Rib Ragu, various classic Rissotto preparations, and for dessert options like Panna Cotta, Homemade Tiramisu and Tuscan Ricotta Cheesecake round out the menu.

    Leonardo was so helpful and attentive, he gave great descriptions of the menu items and was able to help us choose our entrees as it was our first time in. I made the reservation for my brothers birthday and we even got a free dessert which was not expected at all! The homemade pasta was insane and everything was so good. Overall, an amazing experience and can’t wait to come back.

    They charge you a 3.5% credit card fee and their prices are high as it is. Increase the prices instead of adding this hidden fee that isn’t stated on the menus. When I asked to have it removed, I was told it couldn’t be removed. First and last time dining here. Businesses should really just increase their prices.

    Great Italian restaurant with delicious food. Our server Miguel was attentive and assisted in our food and wine selections (there are several wonderful options to choose from). We have been going to this restaurant for years and always had a great meal and memorable experience!
