Charming
Good for special occasions
Good for groups

At Ritrovo, our journey began in a small town near Naples, Italy. After years of perfecting our craft in the trattorias of Central Italy, we brought our love for Italian cuisine to the States.

It was our wedding anniversary, trying out this place for the first time. Everything was great. The service and everything we ordered was great, and the owners went to every table while we were there to introduce themselves and ask how everything was going, including our table. Very nice people. We told them we would be back and bring friends with us next time. I would definitely recommend it and would not hesitate to go back there any time.

The chicken was tough. (Two dinners) We mentioned it but nothing came of it. Asked for two separate checks. Didn't happen. Acoustics were awful. I could hardly hear the person next to me.

The food was really good. The portions were great. We had hoped to get there for happy hour which we did. We sat in the bar area, but when we asked about happy hour menu, we were told that instead of saying just in the bar area we had to sit at the bar which we preferred not to do. Most restaurants when they advertise a happy hour includes the bar area and the bar so it was a bit disappointing. The service was good could be a little bit better. They did a nice job with the restaurant and the outdoor seating I would go back

Lovely restaurant with a bright clean sparkly crystal chandelier at the center. Smaller side menu with a lot of specials. Very attentive staff. Unfortunately, our friendly waiter had a very thick accent and it was difficult to understand. Delicious cocktails, but inconsistently prepared.

Even though the restaurant was 1/4 full it was very noisy and they played music very loud. Had to ask to turn down. The minute we’re seated server asked if we were ready to order. Service was poor. Food was OK Not friendly atmosphere. Would not return

Though mother's day was a crazy day to go it all worked out. The staff were great and met our every need. The only draw backs were the regular pizza was not great and my insalate barbabbito was not really a salad. It was short on the greens and on the toasted almonds. Will probably visit again.
