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.

    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!

    Riccardo Trattoria came highly recommended by friends- we’re thrilled to have dined here. The food was simple, delicious and very well prepared. Service was friendly, efficient and our served provided top notch advice on the menu. It was a terrific experience. Big plus, it’s within walking distance of Park West Music Venue.

    Upscale Italian restaurant in Lincoln Park area, with excellent service, ambiance, and value. The Dover sole and the Branzino fish dishes were perfectly prepared. The $35 corkage fee was ridiculous but not much one could do about it. Overall, it was well worth the visit.
