Food was fantastic, place was very crowded when we got there, asked if we mind sitting at the bar but it was going to take a while to get dinner. We sat at the bar and thoroughly enjoyed conversing with Lou and some regulars. When are dinners came out they were very good.

Worst service I have ever experienced, do not go here!! We were a party of 4, had the 6PM seating tonight for New Year’s Eve. The 4 of us eat out frequently, and despite the limited menu (as expected for a busy New Year’s Eve), and also expecting to wait, and being VERY patient, we did not get drinks for 51 minutes, at which time we put in our dinner order. While we were seated promptly at 6, it still took 51 minutes to get a drink and put in our order. We watched while all of the other tables seated at 6, and after our party, received their appetizers, entrees, desserts, and checks, and yet by 8:10, we still had not gotten our dinners. That was in excess of an hour and a quarter after ordering when the waitress came out and told us it would still be a few more minutes. We brought the long wait to her attention, along with the fact that all of the other tables, including those seated after us had been served, and she told us there was nothing she could do, to tell the owner. And so we did, and he said it was not his fault, and offered no remedy. If not the owner’s fault, then whose? Isn’t that the point of a limited menu and reserved, timed seatings? So after 2 and a quarter hours, we left with no dinner. I have never experienced such incredibly poor service, and such a cavalier attitude in my life. Thank you for ruining this holiday for us—there are way too many fine Italian dining alternatives available to endure this rude, deplorable treatment. Avoid this place—I would give zero stars if I could!

It's the best Italian restaurant you could ever hope for! Very authentic cuisine and some rare Italian dishes that can only be found at Riccitello's. Owned by the same family for generations. A very comfortable and friendly atmosphere. It's a little bit like stepping back in time. A real gem!!!
