Riccardo's Italian Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
It is the very best Italian restaurant I have ever eaten in. The staff is attentive and friendly. I enjoy being able to see the chefs cooking in the open kitchen. A reservation is highly recommended.
5 ladies visited Ricardo's to clebrate a birthday and had a great time. The service was impeccable, the environment was very comfortable and we enjoyed amazing food. Certianly recommend Rocardo's for a fun time.
i’ve been coming here since i was a little kid. its always been good! i got takeout on sunday, and i was really impressed. they said it’d be ready at 6:15, and it was ready at exactly 6:15. we had a 25 minute drive home and the food was all still piping hot when we finally got back inside...amazing service and the food was awesome as usual. highly recommend the tortellini alfredo and the asparagus risotto.
Another absolute gem. Nice ambiance, open style kitchen (you can watch the chefs work) great food and great service. Food presentation on point. Little things like bread was fresh. Home made salad dressing delish. Cost vs value in line with expectations. Well done!! Will come again 100%
Had dinner this evening there and can't wait to go back. Everything I had was wonderful except for the Arancini.....I don't think there is a word to describe these and their deliciousness. See you again soon and thanks for an amazing dinner.
The food was amazing! The service was a bit slow but it was super busy so that’s understandable! Definitely will eat here again!!
First time to Windsor and my partner insisted on coming to Riccardo'ss for dinner. This place did not disappoint. The food was fresh and delicious with very good portions. Service was very good as well. I look forward to coming back in the summer and sitting outside in their very nice patio area.
SAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT- the chocolate cakes is incredible!!! Another update: Their beautiful patio overlooking the water is open for the season! Server Teri provided great, attentive, friendly service. We spoke with Chef Bob while he was busy stirring the homemade sauces and making their soup. The steaming pots of deliciousness emitted mouth watering aromas. Today’s house made arancini were again off the charts! And the veal scallopini was so amazing, I was tempted to lick my plate clean (I didn’t!!!). I had the fettuccini egg noodles smothered in the same mushroom cream sauce that’s used on the veal as my accompaniment. It was outstanding!!! 6 stars if I could!! UPDATE: Still deliciously awesome! Excellent UPDATE: Still deliciously awesome! Excellent service from Stephanie who was attentive, friendly and kind! Highly recommend the Carbonara...and no one makes better Arancini (rice balls). It was the delicious smells emanating from this place that attracted our attention while strolling through Amherstburg. We discovered this casual, unassuming restaurant with the open kitchen, which served up outstanding, delicious Italian fare! The rice balls were great, and wish they bottled their house made salad dressing! It was a toss up between which was better, the lunchtime veal scallopini or the veal parmigiana as both excellent and so reasonably priced. Really excited for their patio to open in the warmer weather as their water front location is beautiful. Worth the short drive along the River from Windsor! A definite do-over!
