" Riccardo's Ristorante is a vibrant spot in the North End that showcases a commitment to authentic Italian flavors. Upon entering, the festive atmosphere and the aroma of freshly cooked pasta enveloped us. Our server was knowledgeable, recommending the seafood special, which was a generous portion filled with succulent shrimp and clams. Every bite was a reminder of the Italian seaside. The live music added a lovely touch, making it a night to remember. We're already planning our next visit to indulge in a more pasta variety! " (*Curated Review*)

" Riccardo's left me utterly satisfied! From their exceptional service to the mouthwatering dishes, this place checks all the boxes for an authentic Italian experience. There’s something about the atmosphere that screams ‘family’— it felt like I was dining at my Italian grandmother’s table. The Fettuccine Alfredo was rich and creamy, and the seafood special we had was so generously portioned that we took some home. Don't forget to try their tiramisu; it’s the best I’ve tasted! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an absolutely delightful experience! We stumbled upon Riccardo's while exploring the North End, and I must say, it was the highlight of our trip to Boston. The décor captures traditional Italian charm effortlessly, and the live music set the perfect atmosphere. I tried the Lasagna, which has a homemade taste, bursting with flavor, and my husband adored the Papardelli Bolognese. Each dish was thoroughly enjoyable, and the service was exceptional! The team was welcoming and truly made us feel at home. We can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit to Riccardo's was delightful! We arrived just in time for live music, which set a pleasant tone for our dinner. I tried their famous eggplant parmesan, and it truly did not disappoint; it was rich in flavor and very satisfying. Portions were generous, allowing us to share a few dishes. Service was prompt, although we waited a bit longer for dessert. Overall, a lovely experience we would gladly repeat! " (*Curated Review*)

" Certainly an established spot for Italian cuisine! My husband and I enjoyed a lovely evening at Riccardo's. The ambiance was pleasant, perfect for a date. We ordered a mixture of dishes, from the eggplant parmesan to seafood risotto, and were satisfied with the taste, although the eggplant was slightly bland. This small flaw was offset by the fantastic tiramisu for dessert, which was a highlight. Good service overall; we would return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for Riccardo's, especially from the reviews, but my visit was a bit disappointing. The ambiance felt right, but my seafood dish was lackluster— the shrimp were overcooked and the pasta a bit bland. Service was enthusiastic, but we felt neglected at points. Overall, while it wasn’t terrible, I’d likely explore other options next time I find myself in the North End. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at Riccardo's matched the cozy atmosphere. I had the seafood risotto, which was creamy and packed with fresh seafood flavors. The portions were adequate for the price, making it feel like a good value. While service was friendly, there was occasionally a wait when we needed more water. All in all, I'd rate it a solid restaurant experience. " (*Curated Review*)
