Reviews for Riccardo Osteria in Chicago, IL
Got the fish and seafood stew. Incredible taste, fresh seafood. Great service.
When this place opened in the West Loop I was so happy. Having enjoyed excellent food at the Lincoln Park location I was sure I... would finally have a close, great place to catch dinner. Sadly this place remains hit or miss at best. While the service ispleasant and recently they have added music on several nights the food quality is never guaranteed and often bad. SometimesI’ll have a great meal and then, like my recent visit, it’s just terrible. I ordered the $28 asparagus risotto. Instead ofa nice bowl of creamy risotto I got a flat plate of about 1/2 -2/3 cup of flavorless rice with soggy asparagus. It’s reallytoo bad they can’t duplicate the quality of the Lincoln Park branch. This place has the potential to be a neighborhood gem butthe food just isn’t there. Read more

Really good Italian food, service was amazing, however I recommend you to get a reservation, we did it. We tried many plates,... arancini, veal alla parmigiana, pizza, fettuccini… everything was good. 100% recommended Read more
This is a great Italian restaurant in the West Loop area. I went for a work dinner so we got to enjoy many different dishes. The... restaurant is small but fits a deceptively large amount of people. The staff was PHENOMENAL. My favorite dishes were theZucchini Blossoms, the Octopus, the Burrata, and the Bucatini Pescatore. Everything was cooked so well and it had a greatatmosphere. Read more
Love this place. Nice and intimate. And the food was delicious. We tried the stuffed zucchini blossoms with prosciutto and... cheese. They were delicious. My friend had the seafood combo plate, a nice assortment of seafood, tasty. And my girlfriendhad the Branzino absolutely loved it. The service was very good too. Will return. Read more
Couldn't find a spot to have lunch on Sunday, and then by accident found this hidden GEM! Restaurant with a lot of sun, and... windows which are open all the way. They have padio as well, started with grilled calamari, which was grilled perfect, notchewy, not too soft, with some seasoned arugula. Server recommended us great Pinot Noir. For Entree we shared crab & lobsterravioli, which had really nice creamy sauce. We also shared Grilled Octopus with potatoes, that was one of the bestPresentations I've ever seen. Grilled and seasoned very well! Octopus Really left us speechless. From host to busser everyonewere nice and proffessional. Later server asked us for desert twice, and we rejected, then he told us since we didn't getdesert, 2 cups of wine were on the house. This spot is a rea deal, great view, great service, great food and very affordable!Will be back for sure! Read more
