Ricci Italian Restaurant

Amazing Italian restaurant with several areas of seating and a bar right in front of their pizza oven. Everything we had was outstanding. The sauces were flavorful and the pizza was some of the best I've had around Frederick. We asked for prosciutto on our pizza instead of mortadella and they were accommodating. She's a little pricey but everything was fresh and would absolutely pay again in a heartbeat. Our waitress was very friendly and able to recommend several options. Can't wait to go back.The only thing I wasn't impressed by was the tiramisu unfortunately.

Not the worst, just has a lot of room for improvement. May try again in a year when they've had time to sort things out. I'll start with the water. It's supposedly infused with fruit but the only evidence was floating pulp; it tasted like normal tap water to 2/3 of our party. When I ordered drinks from the bar, the glasses were always wet on the outsides and bottom, and one time the waiter put the wet glass on the menu that I was still looking at. Moving to the menus, they were pretty faded and had ink transfer from other menus so you couldn't read all the ingredients and I wanted to wash my hands after handling them. We had to ask for refills and it was hard to get attention of the waiter at times. All of the staff was nice but they seem new, like a full staff of first-time employees and high school kids. Our appetizer of calamari tasted "fishy" to 2/3 of our group to the point where we didn't eat it. Our entrees came out at different times with one persons side coming out halfway through the meal. The pizza was good but a little bland. The crab Benedict was good. The French toast was supposed to come with maple syrup but didn't. Presentation of all the food was very nice. Overall design is pleasant. The bathroom sink is a little small. Automatic soap dispenser kept dispensing when I was trying to use the water. Could have been worse but I can't say I'll be going back any time soon considering the high price vs our mediocre experience.

We came here to celebrate Valentine's Day on Saturday. We had a reservation for 6:30 but got there a little early but we're still seated immediately. The restaurant was gorgeous and the lighting was great for an intimate setting. They bring you out some complimentary bread to start with olive oil and balsamic vinegar to dip it in, which was very good. For drink, I took our waiters recommendation and got the Figgin Peachy ($14), it had fig vodka and with peach puree and Prosecco, it was good. We love charcuterie, so we got the Tagliere Misto ($27) which was our favorite thing we ate. It had a great variety of meats that went so well with the Parmigiano Reggiano and Manchego cheeses. It also had these super sweet cherries that were delicious! For our entrees, Ryan ordered the Salmone Alla Griglia ($35) and I ordered the Seafood Marebella ($35). I'm not a fan of salmon so I didn't try that but Ryan said it was really good and he loved the sauce. The broccolini that he got with it was garlicky and absolutely delicious. The seafood Marebella that I got had crab, shrimp and scallops. The sauce was creamy and you could tell that the pasta was handmade and the seafood was fresh. For dessert we had to get the Creme Brulee ($12), it was definitely the most creamy Creme Brulee we've had and it wasn't at all grainy which is usually an issue with some that we've had. We would definitely come back to try some different dishes.

We love Ricci!! The best pasta dishes around, and the brunch is excellent, too! We almost always order the calamari and the chicken parmesan. The lox platter is my favorite brunch item - highly recommend! The bread and oil they provide at the start of service is so incredible. I love the outdoor patio on a warm day. Dining indoors is great, too, because they have a bar area, classic dining tables, and a high top counter facing the pizza oven. We will continue to come here!

We found this place by mistake and were not disappointed! The atmosphere is beautiful. There is a full bar and plenty of seating. There is a wood fired grill for pizza and steak! We got the beet salad, which you can choose any protein to put in it, spaghetti and meatballs, and Pollo alla Veleziana. Everything was AMAZING! Taylor was our server and he was attentive, enthusiastic, and provided excellent recommendations!

Best food, service, and ambiance! Loved the lobster soup, the tortellini handmade pasta, the burrata appetizer, and the cannoli to finish. A must visit!

Always great food and service. They have an incredibly beautiful pizza kitchen where you can sit right at the bar, there's an outside area and also a dining room and bar.

First timer at the upscale restaurant heading towards walkersville. Located in a popular plaza around plenty of food spots and tiny shops. Limited menu for brunch but all great looking dishes. I ordered the blue crab omelet and at first sight it did seem average looking. Now biting into it is what changed things for me. The crab was so rich in flavor! The honestly potatoes were small but packed and perfectly seasoned. Would love to swing by and try their menu for dinner.

Very cute place, food was okay, our server was nice.I made a reservation through Resy and noted that it was mine and my husbands first anniversary but they didn't even acknowledge it so i was a little disappointed. We don't get out much so I was really looking forward to having a good night. Although the food was good, I probably won't return, they didn't really make a lasting impression

Food was excellent and the setting was great. Seafood Marabella was really good and the tiramisu was one of the best I've ever had. Just wish the crab dip had more crab in it and the service was a little better.
