The food is exceptional. The amount of food is abundant. The wait staff is wonderful and cheerful. The decor is appropriate for an Italian family restaurant. If you have a problem with your meal ( which has NEVER happened to me) it is addressed immediately. You will love this place. Some people cannot be pleased, no matter what. Make your own decision, give Rico’s a try. You will be glad you did.

The food was okay, not great. Definitely worth $4 extra to choose the “full dinner” option over the a la cart choice. However, on a not busy Sunday evening, it took us over an hour and 45 minutes to have our meal, most of that waiting between courses. We had to ASK for refills on water and bread, and were never even offered refill of coffee with our desert, Our waiter acted totally disinterested in providing service at all.

Trio Riggies of chicken shrimp and sausage are excellent! I order them every time I go there. Steve always makes us feel welcome and checks to make sure our meals are satisfactory.

The portions were not as big as I thought. This place is definitely mediocre. There seems to be alot of older people eating there. The service wasn’t exceptionally friendly, however, no one was rude. The food didn’t taste bad, nor did it taste good. The decorations seem out dated. We left wishing we would have stayed home.

Absolutely fabulous, my daughter attends SU and we have tried to experience local restaurants rather than chain establishments over the past two years. Without a doubt Rico’s is the leader in all categories, selection is wonderful, service unsurpassed,property spotless and all plates were delicious. Our highest rating to this upscale, charming and in relationship to the outstanding menu, overtly affordable venue.

Yesterday, my mother, sister, niece, daughter and myself had a wonderful lunch at Rico’s. The minute we walked in, we felt completely welcome and the staff accommodated us with so much enthusiasm! My 20-month-old daughter was getting antsy at the table, so we walked around the restaurant a bit to keep her occupied. The staff at Rico’s were so kind and understanding. And then, when she hit her head on a table and got hurt, they ran right over with ice and band-aids, took her by the hand, and gave her a cookie to make her feel better. It was so refreshing to be able to go out to eat with my toddler and not feel like a burden. Thank you so much Rico’s!!

This is one of my favorite places to go. Such great food.. I’m sad to hear they are closing October 1, 2017. Their lease is up and they are retiring. They give you good portions, love the bread and the wonderful Italian menu.

GREAT FOOD but I’ve been there twice both time foods delicious. But the service was good once the second time the server got a 10% tip from me because she wasn’t fantastic a little rude actually. But why this review is 3 stars not 5 because in front of me the server rolled her eyes and complained about the tip she received

The “shrimp riggies” were rigatoni’s, shrimp, and sauce. The owner stated that’s the way they make them there, which is completely wrong. Real riggies have mushrooms, onions, and peppers. IT’S A PASTA DISH! Do not call them riggies if they are not actual rigges, come to Utica and we’ll teach you the proper way to prepare them.
The steak was horrible. I took two bites from it and sat there in disgust. Our waitress came over and asked us how we were doing, we complained and she offered us a box to go. She didn’t even ask us if we wanted a replacement meal or discount. She received a 8% tip, HORRIBLE SERVICE! We then found the owner and he wasn’t much help either. He stated they’ve been open for 17 years, blah, blah, blah.
Needless to say, we’ll never go back. $40 down the drain! We fed the food to the dog and she even looked at us weird. In the garbage it went.

It was so cold that I was uncomfortable the whole time and couldn’t enjoy myself and the food was disgusting. The salad that comes out before your meal was all warm, limp lettuce drenched in the WORST caesar dressing I’ve had in my entire life. I ordered baked ziti and i had three bites before i started to feel sick. The whole time we were eating our waiter stared at us from across the room with this weird look on his face and i couldn’t figure out why until i got home and had the worst stomach ache. I was shaking all over, I was dizzy and I could barely walk without my legs practically giving out. I did take my leftovers with me thinking that it might’ve just been an upset stomach at the restaurant but I was way wrong. After offering my leftovers to a friend, a good amount of time passed before I got around to washing the bowl (I’m in college and don’t have much time.) When I finally went to wash it, no mold had grown on the bits of sauce and meat left in the bowl. I’m not sure what was wrong with the food but I am repulsed and I will NEVER eat here again, it was a mistake to try something new. Absolutely disgusting, I’ll stick to Olive Garden.
