Beautiful table by open window. Warm welcome by Richie. Took a reservation despite busy NorthEnd Feast season. Aldo our waiter was great
August 13, 2019
Food was EXCELLENT as always. But be careful when the server says the bottle of water on the table will be replaced with a cold bottle. We just wanted tap water but had to pay $9.00 for the initial bottle. If you want tap water, say so initially so you don't get charged for the $9.00 bottle of water.

Our experience was fablious.We were a party of four and were greeted by Rich the owner,whom was walm and welcoming.We had a handicap person in our party and Orlando and Rich couldn't be more accommodating.The eggplant appetizer was great.The clams and spaghetti were fabulous and the cannolis were the best I ever had,and my group and I are all Itaians.We will definitely return.

August 31, 2018
Food was under par, cold, and portions were very small compared to other O'charley's that I've gone to. It took 40 minutes or more to receive our food after ordering. Service was below expected.
June 27, 2018
We made reservations for two and arrived and were seated right away. The wait staff was very helpful and the food was excellent!! We will be back.

Such an unexpected delight! Right across the street from Paul Revere's house, the food, the atmosphere and service were great. Don't miss the limoncello shrimp and halibut francese! We will be back!

Food and service were excellent... Parking not so close or easy to find, so I would not suggest driving, but everything else was fabulous!
August 16, 2014
Had just coffee & dessert. Everything was fine.
July 14, 2014
From the very first person that greeted us at the door to the many staff people that attended to our needs during dinner, each and every one seemed to genuinely care about our dining experience.
July 12, 2014
We talked to the owner after the meal and this just added to a great lunch.
July 11, 2014
the portion of chicken marsala for $13.00 was very small.

Great atmosphere, food and service!
March 15, 2014
I had the shrimp and scallop fra diavlo and the heat in the sauce was perfect. The scallops were unbelievably melt in your mouth tender, and the shrimp were cooked perfect. Nice portion size. Tiraimsu for dessert was excellent. Looking forward to going back for more of the menu.

Great food, Great waitress.
November 14, 2013
We made a 6:30 reservation and arrived a little early. The restaurant was quiet (only one other party at the time) and we were seated right away. The décor was nice, the staff friendly.
October 24, 2013
food was bland, no flavor, no garlic and very few clams in the clam sauce and sauce was very very dry.
October 17, 2013
I gave the coupon to my son and his girlfriend and they had a great time. Said the restaurant was excellent.

May 24, 2013
The waiter was attentive but also gave us our space. Very easy to talk to. I think it was even the owner came to check on our table during our visit.
April 4, 2013
Excellent service and great food.
April 1, 2013
The ambiance, the wait staff and the very friendly greeting received by all. The restaurant was clean and the table settings were impeccable. Great environment and even greater food experience.
March 23, 2013
Delicious meal, great service. We were treated politely from the minute we walked in the door. Looking forward to returning next time we are in the city!
March 8, 2013
Riccardo's is our favorite for italian food in Boston. Richard and his family are always very hospitable. We have been going several times a year for the past 12 years and always have a great meal.
March 7, 2013
Service was great and the food was delicious
February 24, 2013
The only bad thing I can say is they need to update there menu that is on-line. They say salads are included but they are not.
February 15, 2013
atmosphere, service, and food were superb
January 24, 2013
good service and food; pleasant atmosphere
January 24, 2013
the couple of times that I went to Riccardo's always felt very welcome from the staff, and always great waitstaff.
January 21, 2013
Service was fantastic. Everyone was super polite and accommodating. Food was delicious. Overall great experience.
January 17, 2013
The food was good as usual. My date got the pork and loved it. I ordered the Calamari Ripini, as I always do. My only complaint is that I ordered it with the wheat pasta, however, I was given regular pasta. The food was still good though.
January 16, 2013
Great wait staff, made us feel very welcome.
November 30, 2012
What a great place. The food was excellent; the veal just melted in my mouth. The atmosphere was wonderful, music in the background, but did not interfere with conversation. Mid to low lighting and crisp linens with sparkling glass and silverware. Attention to our needs without being intrusive. All in all, great place that we will visit again.
August 26, 2012
One member of our party really enjoys chicken cachitore & IT WASN'T ON THE MENU. The waitress checked for us, and the Chef was very accomodating. It made his Birthday Dinner Extra Special. Everything was cooked to perfection!
August 24, 2012
The service was woefully slow. We arrived on time at 8 pm for our resevations and we had to praqctically tackle someone to get our bill and head out.
August 20, 2012
Best Mojito I've ever had.
August 14, 2012
Very good food, nice to be off the main street in the North End
August 12, 2012
Excellent food courteous prompt service
August 8, 2012
Appetizers were very good but pricey. Entrees were very good but lobster ravioli was "lukewarm and a bit tough".
August 7, 2012
What a wonderful greeting we received upon entering the restaurant!
August 3, 2012
food was good.Portion size was acceptable, not abundant but not skimpy either. Atmosphere great.
July 14, 2012
our waiter, Zach , was superb in his manner, his suggestions and hie knowledge of the menu.

June 29, 2012
The food was amazing, service was great! Our waitress was very knowledgeable about the different dishes being served and made great suggestions for dinner choices. I will definitely go back again!
June 19, 2012
Treated well despite having a very new waiter.
June 11, 2012
The restaurant is old & dated, smelly and has terrible service. Felt taken advantage of when we were charged $14.00 for two side dishes of pasta that we served w/entree. Just an overall bad experience, I would never return considering there are literally 100 better places to go in North End. Surprised this restaurant is still in business, I suspect it won't be for too much longer.
June 2, 2012
We had a reservation for 8pm but did not get sat until 830pm.
May 21, 2012
Food could have been better. My lasgana was bland. Needed more meat and more flavor.
May 20, 2012
fabulous server, very knowledgable and friendly
May 13, 2012
Our favorite spot in the North end. We will be back
April 30, 2012
Despite a reservation, we waited a long time for a table. The pork roll I had, looked like it was plated a long time before it was served. The vegetable had too much oil or something on it.
April 23, 2012
Great phone help from Gabriella in finding parking!
April 17, 2012
Superb service at every level. We came for valentines day and may make it a tradition.
April 17, 2012
had a 8:30 reservation, didn't get sat until after 9PM. Didn't get food until after 10PM. Hostess said kitchen was overwhelmed. But the wait ruined the overall experience for us.
April 16, 2012
Service was really good. Food was good, I would go again!
April 9, 2012
Some of the reviews of Riccardo's were negative in terms of food or service, but I found neither of these to be true: we very much enjoyed our dinner at Riccardo's.
April 7, 2012
Staff was friendly & attentive but didn't hover
March 3, 2012
The food and service were great!!
March 3, 2012
My only complaint is that my daughter ordered the swordfish speecial at $34 and the portion was very very small. Do not order fish here
February 27, 2012
The service, atmosphere and food were just wonderful. We will definitely visit again. We just happened to be celebrating an engagement that happened moments before our dinner and the manager was very gracious and thoughtful.
February 16, 2012
I've used two certificates there, and enjoyed them both.
February 16, 2012
The lamb was good.The Sea Bass looked more like Talapia and the red sause it was in was horrid. My wife did not eat her meal.
January 30, 2012
We love the North Ebd but live 30 miles away so only get in occasionally. We will definitely return to Riccardo's, and we love North Square.
January 24, 2012
for the only one table in the restaurant I did not rally expect mediocre service and food. What if it was really busy?
January 21, 2012
Always an enjoyable meal at Riccardo's.
January 18, 2012
The wait staff is great at Riccardo's. The food is also excellent!! Thanks!
December 30, 2011
I always had a positive experience here in the past, but will not return due to the decline in quality of food and service.
December 28, 2011
Very nice evening and dinner
December 26, 2011
Food was very good, but for cost of dinner (before coupon) I would have expected to at least have a side of pasta with my chicken dish
December 23, 2011
The only, negative we were not told that a substitution from Pasta to a vegetable was a $5.00 charge.
December 13, 2011
Great location,beautiful atmosphere, friendly and courteous service, fabulous food. Would definitely return and recommend it to others.
December 4, 2011
great atmosphere & location. service and food wonderful
December 2, 2011
Get nicer wine glasses/glassware in general, it would go a long way.
November 26, 2011
We were visitors to Boston and looked for a restaurant on your website. It was wonderful and I'd definitely recommend it.
November 23, 2011
Food was excellent. Server was a bit inexperienced, kept reaching across people to server the people sitting next to them instead of going behind, which was kind of off-putting.
November 21, 2011
very nice meal, atmosphere and service
November 21, 2011
Great experience. Wonderful staff and food! Would recommend to a friend!
November 7, 2011
The restaurant offer had great ambiance, impecable lavatories, and excellent service. However, the food was not impressive.Hope to give it another chance and see if the food improves.
November 4, 2011
We were thrilled with this restaurant and would certainly visit it again soon. We would highly recommend it to anyone interested in excellent food, friendly and welcoming service, and ambience. Great prices, too. A must!!!
October 24, 2011
We specified that it was our anniversary in the online reservation but we were seated at a table off in the corner when there were better seats available with views of the street. Also, the Veal was tough and i sat for a period of time w/ an empty glass.
October 19, 2011
This was my first visit to Riccardo's and it was excellent. the food was great and the service was great. the modern appreance and spacious inteiror was a nice treat compared to other restaurants in the north end. already recommending to friends! thank you for a great night out
October 19, 2011
This is a wonderful restaurant. Our second visit and enjoyed it as much as our first. Great service, food and ambience.
October 9, 2011
Great service, great food, lovely atmosphere. THANKS for wonderful meals.
October 5, 2011
Excellent food and service!
October 3, 2011
Food was good as was service but everything was overpriced which is why I would never eat here without a discount.
September 30, 2011
Good quality food. Would go back.
September 27, 2011
the waiter was the owner's son and he was totally full of himself, thought it was cute to talk so fast you had to ask him to repeat everything, he was cocky and it came off as being rude
September 14, 2011
We were warmly welcomed and not rushed even though we arrive around 9:30 on our way back from the airport. The server was terrific and the food excellent. We will definitely be back.
September 13, 2011
Exceptional dining experience. Excellent food, excellent service, excellent ambiance.
September 12, 2011
Excellent food.Wish they served a bit of pasta with the chicken picatta
September 10, 2011
It was wonderful, we will be going back!!!
September 5, 2011
I think Riccardo's has the best Italian food in the North End.
September 4, 2011
Our dining experience was very nice. Buying the coupons on the internet gives us an opportunity to try different restaurants. One comment on the sea bass, I would have liked it better if there was no skin. Other than that, everything was very good.
September 2, 2011
This place is a jewel food, service and atmosphere.Great place to dine!,
August 31, 2011
My meal, scallops and shrimp in a spicy red sauce, was very tasty, but my wife's meal, chicken with broccoli, was poor (the vegetable was overcooked and soggy, and the chicken wasn't very tasty). Service was excellent and friendly. However, because of my wife's negative impression, we won't likely return to this restaurant.
August 27, 2011
The pasta/cannelli bean soup was very good the chicken parm was also good but a bit salty.
August 24, 2011
service was fine. nobody offered us parmesan until we asked for it- not a big deal. but after dinner, the waiter asked us "you all set?" while at the table next to us, he asked whether they wanted any coffee or dessert. i could be reading into it, but couldn't help feeling like he was looking down on us because we used a gift certificate...
August 22, 2011
Excellent service and food! A great find.
August 22, 2011
While our waiter was rather inattentive, the rest of the wait staff seemed pretty good. The sea bass entree was quite special; the lobster ravioli was good.
August 19, 2011
The interior of the restaurant was nice. The food was outstanding.
August 9, 2011
As usual the perfect blend of food and excellent service. The best hidden gem in the city.
August 3, 2011
Better than what we expected after reading some of the reviews!
August 2, 2011
I will never go back to this restaurant again. I had to send my meal back...not hot enough and service was poor. No children's selections. High prices for what you get. Restaurant not crowded at all...that should have been my first clue that it was really bad.
July 30, 2011
The food was incredibly delicious!However, the service was very disappointing. First, when we arrived, we inquired about a window table and decided to wait at the bar until one cleared. Apparently we were forgotten about, as the gentelman never returned to seat us. My friend finally had to go to him to remind him that we were waiting for a table.Then there was the waiter - after bringing our entrees, our waiter pretty much disappeared. Waited a long time just to get his attention to bring us a dessert menu. Then waited even longer before he came back to take our dessert order. Fortunately for us, someone else brought the dessert to our table. Our water glasses were never refilled, nor were we asked if we needed additional drinks. And the waiter had disappeared for so long, that by the time we were able to get his attention, we were through with our entrees and no longer wanted drinks. We did want coffee at that point, though it was close to 15 minutes before we got it.We have dined at Ricardos many times and it has always been a favorite of ours. Our experience this time was quite disappointing, and not even close to the standards that we have come to expect. Had this been our first time dining there, we would probably be unlikely to return.
July 23, 2011
They are always gracious at Riccardo's. I love bringing new diners to them. The Gamberi Fuseilli never disappoints!
July 19, 2011
Absolutely wonderful North End Boston Italian place, delicious food, great service - a real gem among so many fantastic restaurants - worth the trip!
