    Service was welcoming and fantastic, menu recommendations were on point, and the food was wonderful. We shared a stuffed meatball appetizer and both had Pollo Exquisito but asked, and was accommodated, to have it on home made pasta instead of risotto because: North End! Highly recommend.

    Authentic Italian kitchen with attention to detail and presentation. Our group of 9 diners were all pleased with the dining experience, and many were very impressed. Ricardo's is a definite experience I would recommend, and I intend to return again.

    Our table was not ready when we arrived. The ambiance was not remotely close to any other restaurant in the area even though it has a lot of good ratings. Took over ten minutes to get a menu and water when we first sat down and didn’t get bread until we ordered our appetizer. The calamari was definitely frozen but whatever right. The pasta with shrimp and scallops was not amazing. The pasta was good but the shrimp and scallops tasted frozen and looked frozen. The dish was just pasta, with marinara on top; it wasn’t very appeasing. The place was very loud, stuck us upstairs by the stairs with a lot of bigger gatherings. The table we were at was actually a table meant for outside, with the grate looking top and the umbrella holder in the middle. It has a table cloth covering it all thankfully. This place shouldn’t be charging the amount it does for such below average food (compared to the area).

    Terrible service, disappointing food, I can make better italian at home. Very loud. Singers asking for money with Instagram and veemo while you are having dinner, qr code in your face. Intrusive and pushy.

    Our waiter, handled a table of 13 flawlessly. We were impressed he didn’t even write down our order, and didn’t miss a beat. Food service was prompt, and delicious. We highly recommend dining there

    Calamari was disgustingly chewy. Waitress was rude and was trying to push expensive wines on us
