Opened Daily for Dinner
Riccardo started his career at a very young age in Milan's prestigious GIRARROSTO which was family owned. Then, in 1982 he moved to the United States and he opened the famous Sonny Bono's in Los Angeles. In 1987 he started to work with his cousin Roberto Ruggeri (owner of Bice Ventures), with him he opened Bice New York, Los Angeles and many others around the world.

Here through the craftsmanship of an Italian food connoisseur, dishes are prepared with an almost zen-like essentiality that has shaped Riccardo's professional and existential life course.

In addition to its exceptional cuisine, Riccardo Osteria has a wonderful selection of wines to complement our dishes perfectly. Come join us at the Bar for a meal or just a glass of wine.

Highlights of the menu include Chicken Parmigiana, Mixed Grilled Seafood Plater, Bucatini Carbonara, Linguini Vongole, assorted Risotto and Veal Scallopine, and for dessert Classic Tiramisu

    Food was delicious but the lamb shank was a lot less meat than most places where I have ordered the same thing. Regardless , it was still delicious, just not as filling so my daughter who ordered the jam shank had to have some of my pasta to fill up. Wait staff was nice but clearly busy. Kitchen allowed us to switch from fries that came with the shank to asparagus, so we were grateful for that. All in all, a good experience 👍🏼

    Food is good and tasty but expensive. The service is really slow and lacking. The hostess was terse and dismissive. She couldn’t tell me how much her own valet costs. The place is loud and crowded. A family came in after us and couldn’t be seated. I would not recommend this place to anyone. So many better choices in the city.

    I accidentally made my reservation for two when I needed 3, and they were very accommodating even though they were busy. Drinks were great and service was quick while still allowing time to talk in between visits to the table 🫶🏻
