I Ricchi

Lemme just say they do great with boomers hard of hearing. my old ass Slovenia in-laws (80+) were visiting DC and made a reservation to come on a Wednesday. They unfortunately were busy but service was amazing. Our server, I wish I got her name did great with my in-laws. Portions were VERY generous - I didn't take any photos as most of the photos here shows everything appropriately. My in-laws didn't know what a cannoli was and family were disappointed. Would I come back? Sure! Curious to try the brunch lol. In a great location of DuPont.

The food is incredible, and the staff (I believe our server was Jose) was so friendly, making the whole dining experience even better. The tiramisu was hands down the best I've ever had!

Such a charming restaurant. We had a group of 13 women after the CHiPs global summit, and the service was impeccable. The food was delicious, and the owner came over to chat.

I Ricchi--4 out of 5 stars. The ambiance was beautiful and the service is A1. From the moment you walk in, everyone is every attentive. The staff is always checking to make sure you are satisfied and they do it with a smile.The food was decent also. I started with the calamari--very fresh pieces. I also had some kind of shrimp scampi. Our server told us it was specially made for Restaurant Week. The breadcrumbs were an unique addition to the plate, but overall it was decent, just needed a little more sauce. My friend had the Eggplant parm, which she enjoyed, but she mentioned she wished it was crispier eggplant! Overall, I would come back to try more items on their regular menu. Plus you can't beat excellent service--it will always having to coming back!

Came here for our anniversary and so glad we did! From the hostess to the bartender to our server, the service was fantastic. Very attentive and friendly. The ambiance was lovely, very calm and romantic. The food was unreal- we had the calamari to start (best calamari in DC by far), shared the rigatoni and chicken parm as our mains, and finished with a heavenly tiramisu. Special shout to Jackie, our server, for making tonight so lovely! She was so sweet and attentive and really enhanced a wonderful night. Counting down the days until we can return!

Excellent fine-tuned service all the way. Wonderful presentation of Branzino with the head removed. Also, ordered the Risotto that came with an ample mixture of prosciutto, parm and herbs. Delish. Our water glasses were refilled quickly and often. They never sat for more than a minute. Just a delightful, romantic dinner. Special thank you to Jackelyn.

My friend and I decided to check out this restaurant for dinner on a Saturday night. I arrived early and decided to have a drink at the bar while I waited for her. Eric was the bartender and was very personable. We exchanged small talk until my friend arrived and then decided to make our way over to the table.We purchased a Groupon deal which included dinner (an appetizer, an entree and a dessert) and 1 glass of wine per person. We opted for 6 different items so we can sample and share. Our server was Carlos and he was extremely helpful in explaining the different menu items. I was actually too full to finish my entree and dessert so I opted to bring them both home. Overall it was a good experience. I definitely plan to come back. My only confusion was when I was given a bill for $11 which appeared to be a fee for using the Groupon which I had already purchased and paid for in full. I will be following up with them in regards to this.

IRicchi, without a doubt, is the most authentic Italian restaurant outside of Italy. Truly, when I dine here I feel like I'm in Tuscany, except without the long flight and jet lag.Attended the Annual Cena Bianca dinner on the piazza, which had not been held since Covid struck. 140 diners, all dressed in white, ushered in summer under twinkling lights and twinkling stars, long white tables, white flowers, everything white. We began with cocktails and passed hors d'oeuvres as the Tommy Ruggieri trio played and passersby looked over smiling at the spectacle just off a busy street in downtown Washington, D.C. The food was fabulous, all served family style among communal seating with new friends who all had something in common: love for authentic Italian cuisine, prepared by a chef owner who earned her stripes in Washington years ago and has commanded her own slice of Washington for 30 years. Christianne Ricchi has earned her loyal following, and it was on stage, front and center, Tuesday night. Pasta, shrimp, pork, chicken, and salads that screamed for second helpings, there was something for everyone, and finished off with a delightfully light summer's dessert of panna cotta with a fresh blackberry salsa. A veritable explosion on your palate, the taste buds awakened from the slumber of winter!

Outdated and in need of a renovation. Tight and uncomfortable seating space. Food is tasteless and oily.Service is attentive and good.Too expensive: bottled water $16. Small scope of gelato $17. Food is expensive for the quality.This restaurant was once good....

The food is AMAZING! The quality & authenticity of the food as well as the ambiance can transport you to Tuscany! My husband is Italian and he says he "dreams of the food at I Ricchi"The entire staff especially the owner / chef are so attentive kind & lovely. Please - do not go expecting a simple fast meal. This is authentic Italian atmosphere- enjoy the ambience and especially the food!
