About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
For three decades the name Riccio has been synonymous with fine dining in the desert. Richard and Patricia Riccio set the bar for outstanding Italian cuisine 40 years ago when they opened the original Riccio’s in uptown Palm Springs. Two of their sons, eager to carry on the family tradition, last spring unveiled Riccio’s Steak and Seafood with a new menu concept in a higher profile location downtown. Service and personal attention have been the Riccio’s hallmark and they pledge to continue this tradition.

For the casual diner, Riccio’s offers a relaxed patio presentation for watching downtown Palm Springs unfold while sampling their intriguing, seasonally changing menu. Riccio’s bar faces lively Palm Canyon Drive, and picture windows frame a sculptural fountain.

The desert's top steak and seafood restaurant. Come taste why over 40 years of customers keep coming back to this downtown landmark.

    Steak was asked for medium well and was served raw. Returned the steak and it was still undercooked. Vegetables were frozen. Bar service however was excellent. Go there to drink but don't eat there

    We have been coming here 2 or 3 times a year for the past 8 years and have always enjoyed ourselves. The food is good and the service has been exceptional. Also the open patio is a very comfortable space. I had critiqued some things, including the cheap flatware and they corrected those things including new nice flatware. We love coming here.

    We've missed Danny (owner) and Jamie (server) on our last two visits but Oscar and Tanya did a wonderful job in all regards. Food, beverages and service were spectacular.

    It was not good at all. The eggplant Parmesan was uncooked and rubbery. And the seafood was excessively salty.

    Good Italian food in a classical Italian fine dining ambiance. I went for the surf and turf—after all, I was celebrating my 70th birthday—despite stating on the booking—there was no acknowledgment—disappointing—hence my overall low rating. The S&T was rather pricey at 120 $ but nicely done—though not the most generous price of turf. I am rather partial to osso bucco—a surprising omission.

    Even though this was a first visit, during a two night stay in Palm Springs, it felt much like a favorite dining spot, with staff who know you and cuisine that feels like an old favorite. If we are ever back in the area we will definitely return!
