Riccardo Enoteca

Such an unassuming quaint pub (Enoteco) serving up the most authentic Italian food I've ever had.We arrived late and was still greeted with a smile and seated immediately. The waiter was super attentive and answered our many questions since most items were written in Italian. The mixed seafood and linguine arrived piping hot. The short ribs and pasta was tender and cooked to perfection. Our branzino in lemon butter and capers was to die for. We sat around dipping our bread in the dressing it was so good. We ended the evening with the best tiramisu cake ever. This place is top shelf! Maybe next time we will actually eat in their restaurant (trattoria) across the street.

Amazing experience with amazing service and food!!! I went to this restaurant for my mother and mother-in-law's birthday (birthday twins). We were greeted with wonderful service and a calm and family-intimate environment. Our food came out pretty fast and our waiter was super vigilant and accommodating. Personally, I had the Regatoni Buttera and the Branzino...AMAZING. The next time I visit, The Branzino will be a must.

Amazing Restaurant Week deal alert! We decided to try Riccardo Enoteca since the trattoria restaurant week deal was a little more expensive and wow it did not disappoint. First of all, we showed up almost thirty minutes early and we're able to sit at the bar for a bit, but our table was ready super early which was great!As for the food, between 2 of us we were able to get two apps, two mains, and two desserts. The mains were phenomenal. I will literally have dreams about the Lasagna Au Gratin - best lasagna I have ever had. The Pennoni Fiorentina was also really really good. The short ribs we super yummy and the noodles tasted freshly made. For apps, the Polpettine di Vitello Puttanesca (meatballs) were yummy and came in a really yummy sauce, but we're just a little bit spicy for me (probably should've asked about spice levels). The Fava e Pecorino we're also pretty good. A nice light option with and little bit of truffle. We got the Panna Cotta and the Cheesecake which I thought were both ok. I'm maybe just not a big panna cotta person and the cheesecake had some crunchy bits in it when I usually prefer mine to be smooth.

I made a reservation for a party of 3 for 7:45pm on a Wednesday evening and I'm so glad I did because most of the tables (both inside and outside) were taken! Once seated, we were kindly greeted by the manager who also gave us waters.For appetizers we ordered mozzarella caprese and grilled calamari. The grilled calamari was fantastic! It had the right amount of char and was not overly chewy. For mains we ordered Fettuccine Alla Bolognese, Rigatoni Alla Buttera, and fettuccine con cinghiale (special). Everything was wonderful and everyone's pasta was cooked perfectly. My rigatoni had a healthy portion of sausage and the sauce was super creamy.The service was very efficient and our waiter was super attentive. He made sure our water glasses were never empty and checked in on us every so often.I will definitely be back to try more dishes!

FALSE ADVERTISEMENT AND POORLY MANAGED. NO LAMB CHOP PORTERHOUSE, NO 18 MONTH PROSCIUTTO, NO BRANZINO, ETC. I drove across town to try this restaurant for restaurant week as they had a great 3 course menu with some delicious entrees online for a great price. Unfortunately none of the items that they have online menu are available at the restaurant when you get there they have a completely different menu than the one they advertise. The manager had no customer service skills and rudely demanded we pay for the bottle of water we ordered as if we decided to leave because they did not have anything we wanted on the menu. Nor did he care that we drove across town just for the false menu they advertised. We definitely won't be back.

Went here for restaurant week. Food came out very quick and was very good. Didn't love the steak covered in mustard but I didn't order it so wasn't a big deal! Paperdelle with ragu sauce was delicious. Meatball appetizer was good, spicy, but I had bad acid reflux after. Still ate the leftovers the next day though it was that good. My first time having pana cotta and it was delicious.

This place is a gem in Lincoln Park. Small, intimate with outstanding staff who really do attend to your every need. The menu is large enough to give you choice without compromising on quality. Portions are very generous and the wine menu compliments the dishes they have with price points for every level. Every once in a while they have set menus like this year's Restaurant Week and every one I have had has been outstanding. Restaurant Week sometimes causes restaurants to compromise on quality and quantity just to get diners through the door. Doesn't happen here ever. Check their website For when they have set menus because they are really excellent and great value for money.

First time here and was really pleased. Great atmosphere and we had a fabulous waitress Jasmine. Was small enough that the sound was not loud at all. Easy to talk at our table. Bathrooms clean and updated. Food was amazing !! 5 stars.

The ambience was immaculate in Riccardo Enoteca. Perfect lighting, soft jazz music, and an intimate setting. The food was to delicious, the pepper beef carpaccio was light and a perfect starter. We followed it up with two different pastas -both on the specials menu so apologies for forgetting the names of the dishes. The bacon wrapped tenderloin with risotto and short rib fettuccine had the perfect portions and left you feeling full, but not overly stuffed. Waitstaff was attentive but still let you enjoy your meal. I'm excited to go back and try out more dishes here!

Always awesome with great service! The food is always hot and fresh from beginning to end. Recommend making a reservation because it packs up quick cause it's so good. Definitely worth giving a shot and you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Food from the soul.
