Reviews for Ricaltini's Bar and Grille in Englewood, FL
I came here for my birthday dinner. Overall the food was good but my Prime Rib was overcooked. The side dishes were very good... and our waiter was friendly. It was on the busy side and it took a while to place our order. It looked like there were only 2wait staff members. Unfortunately the band playing was so loud we were unable to talk to one another and it kind of ruined thewhole experience for me. I wouldn't reccomend going there for a special occasion and eating outside when they haveentertainment. If you want to be able to hear people I would say eat inside. Prices were decent. Will probably try again but sitinside. Read more
Very friendly server. Fast service. Good food portions. Enjoyed the seafood bisque.
What a fun place! Our waitress was a blast, and she was really good. We went on a Friday night and they had all you can eat... fried grouper and french fries. OMG, the first basket they served us had three giant pieces of fish and a mound of fries. They want to be sure you get ALL YOU CAN EAT! The atmosphere in the dining room is really fun with lots of old pics of DeanMartin, Frank Sinatra and Jerry Lewis. Supposed there's a story there about them and the owners but I didn't catch it. Inaddition to great indoor dining, they have great outdoor seating area where the bar is with a live band that was actually reallygood. The food was outstanding and reasonable considering all you got. I highly recommend it especially if you just need tobreak away from the house for a fun evening on the town! Read more
Visited early evening on March 24, the place was crowded and very loud, plus the band was very loud don't go there with a... headache. The waitstaff was pleasant and prompt. The food was good, however there is a oscillating fan mounted to the bluepainted wall that was on, when I looked up at it only to find it disgustingly dirty like it hasn't been cleaned in years, so weturned it off. I then started looking around and found numerous dirty walls, a dirty speaker hanging over another table wherepeople were eating. Outside of building no better. That building needs a hellova cleaning and new paint. Attached are a fewpics. Read more
Great, laid back eatery. Food was great and affordable. I had the fish tacos. There was live entertainment and outdoor games set... up for use. Will definitely go back. Read more
We've had dinner here a few times and eventhou the service is usually very slow the food was always good. Their prime rib and... fish and chips dinners are always delicious. They have some great salads as well and an awesome liver and onions dinner. Wetired them for lunch over the weekend and we must have gotten the slowest waitress ever. The Philly steak and turkey clubsandwiches were both excellent. The grilled chicken sandwich was extremely dry and loaded with black pepper, and no it wasn't ablackened sandwich either. My son in law did their hamburger challenge. He ordered it medium rare and it came out so well donehe said it was like eating saw dust. It seems this place is a hit and miss kinda place depending on who's in the kitchen. Theydo have live music on the weekends and it's always nice to be able to sit outside and enjoy a cold beverage.

We went to Ricaltini's for the Let's Eat Englewood Event and stayed for the entertainment; Everett Farrell. Dinner was one of... the best we've had so far and if those little crab cake balls aren't are the regular menu, they should be! I managed a few picsof apps and salad but dinner looked so fantastic that we jumped right in and I didn't get photos of those plates. Read more
