Riccardo Trattoria

When you get there, you see bunch of Italians speaking staffs and people eating there, that seems to be a good sign. Although my rack of lamb was over-cooked (no pink) than what is Medium (pink) should be.....and service was OK. Give them 4 stars bc overall the food was good besides the lamb overcooked. We also had beef brisket gnocci was good.  Calamari was really good. Gelato and Tirami was good, too.

Possibly the best Italian in the city... That's all that needs saying really. The wife is Italian and she introduced me to this place. 4.5 if I could knock a .5pt for the extra wait past resv time. But that's life with uber popular restaurants as well.

The real Italian deal- not americanized Italian food.  Expect a crowded small dining room, so don't go without a reservation and you'll need to call in advance.  The food is high quality and delicious.  Great wine list.   I took a star away because the service is hit or miss and can be a bit gruff.  The manager/owner who works the floor should smile and thank  the patrons, not just the Italian ones.
