    We had an excellent dinner celebrating my daughter’s birthday at Riccardos. The food was excellent as was the service. Definitely a can’t miss spot for a fun delightful dinner in the north end.

    Riccardo’s was amazing! It was a beautiful evening to sit by the window, eating excellent food with good friends. I highly recommend this restaurant in Little Italy! This section of Boston is a must-see!

    We were seated right away. Our server was excellent. My dish was good (simple pasta, tasty) - others had the specialty dishes & loved them! We had 3 singers come in & each did a song. What a surprise- dinner & entertainment!

    The service was excellent and the staff was attentive. The manager or the owner checked on us and inquired about the quality of the dishes we ordered. The value of our meal was reasonable and the meal was tasty. If you don’t want to wait in line at other more popular establishments nearby, this restaurant presents a quality dining experience without competing for seating. You will not be disappointed.
