We visited while with friends who have come here many times. The service was good and the food was outstanding, with large portions. The restaurant has been a family operation for many years. The present owner grew up here while his parents ran the business. He is very friendly and stopped to talk with our friends. I had the Chicken Bellagio with mushrooms and tortellini in a cream sauce. It was amazing! My husband had a meat lovers pizza that was very good. The garlic knots were okay but not outstanding...otherwise, I'd have given this five stars. I will come back!
My husband had the shrimp marinara. I had the spaghetti w/ meatballs. Homemade garlic rolls were also served. We really enjoyed our entrees. Everything was fresh and obviously homemade. The sauce was the best I've ever had! The portions were great and we both had leftovers to take with us... The chef/owner came over and spoke to us. He did the same with the other patrons. Very nice touch. We will definitely return when in the Charlotte area. I highly recommend this restaurant for an authentic Italian meal with a nice ambiance.
Riccico is a very small Italian restaurant specializing in pizza and pasta dishes. My personal favorite is Chicken Fracases the quality is outstanding and the atmosphere is very cozy. However you are located very close with the table settings. We have had the same waitress for most trips into the restaurant. She is very knowledgeable on the menu and can make suggestions and answer questions. If you haven't been to the restaurant I believe you are missing a treat.
The menu states that Riccio's has been in business since 1962. That's not surprising, given the quality of the food (excellent), the portion sizes (large), and the service (friendly and efficient). My wife has the linguini with white clam sauce (excellent, but could have stood a little more sauce), and I had the lasagna (excellent, and large enough that I brought home almost half of it). The complimentary bread knots with garlic butter were warn and delicious. If you're in Pineville, NC and like Italian food, I'd give Riccio's a try!
Stopped by based on the reviews. It was a rainy Monday night and the place had a few regulars in. I believe The owner greeted us and welcomed us in. Food was very good and tasty. Wine was 50% off to boot. Prices are very reasonable. Will come back
