Riccardo Michi comes from a restaurant Family in Milan established since 1943 called Girarrosto, one of the first Tuscan restaurants in town and still operating.

After moving to the US, Riccardo opened Sonny Bono, IL Giardino Ristorante and Madeo Ristorante in Beverly Hills. In 1987 he helped his cousin Roberto Ruggeri open the first Bice restaurant in New York City. Since then, he has worked in the opening of many of the restaurants in the group. In 2002 Riccardo moved to Chicago with his wife Veronica to be the executive chef of Bice on Ontario.

Finally Riccardo and Veronica, also a chef, decided to open their own place and in 2006 called Riccardo Trattoria. Considered by many to be the top Italian restaurant in town, receiving the Bib Gourmand from Michelin in 2011, 2012 and 2013.

Now, Riccardo and Veronica have opened Riccardo Enoteca, right across the street from Riccardo Trattoria on Clark.

    Riccardo's never disappoints. The menu is vast, with something for big appetites, small appetites, and everyone in between.

    Patron seated next to me had had too much to drink. Dropped their char on the floor and it slammed into my ankle causing swelling and a large bruise. Staff was very helpful and provided an ice bag and a complimentary after dinner drink. I am at home with a very painful bruise and taking Tylenol. Restaurant did all they could but I guess it is impossible to control their clientele

    Excellent food in a comfortable setting. Two of our party had a special, pasta with pesto and shrimp, and they thought it was delicious. I had the lasagna, which might have been the best I've ever had. The service was friendly and competent. This is a small neighborhood place that's been around for a long time, and with good reason. Highly recommended.

    The food was delicious. Our children (14 and 11) both liked their dishes. The service was excellent. It was a last minute decision and we were able to get in, so glad we did.
