    The food we had tasted good but everything was cold or room temp. The espresso was not good and the cup that wasn’t in contact with the coffee was cold, as if someone went down the street to another restaurant and brought it back. I would say that Riccardo’s is your typical tourist red sauce joint-decent cheesey-saucey fried food with overcooked pasta and overpriced, but hey it’s the North End.

    We tried their “special “ meatball… stuffed with mozzarella appetizer; it would have been much more pleasing with a scoop of ricotta; despite being “stuffed” the innards appeared to be simply meat. Yes, they were tasty! Who doesn’t love a meatball! The bread is not delivered hot. Overall, the food could have been hotter; and the chicken picatta meal could have been less dry with a bit of added lemon sauce and perhaps an added lemon wedge but definitely hotter and more tasty. I did ask our waiter to spruce it up a bit and he was kind enough to take my plate back & do just that, thank you! The pasta fagouli soup presentation was disappointing for $14!! Not what I recall from prior experiences… twas a large bowl with plenty of pasta & well cooked beans. While, It too was tasty too I was told they switched bowls to “have more table space but again skimpy on the pasta & the beans were a tad undercooked. hmmm… The ambience is lively. Many to choose from in the North End.
