Has designated parking for the restaurant patrons – make sure to still get the parking ticket and RR will take care of it as soon as you enter the restaurant. Good food. Walking distance to Stress Factory.

I got to tell you we weren’t even planning to come here, and we saw 2 people at the driveway entrance that got us to come in and try it. We were greeted by I believe one of the owners, Richie, possibly and didn’t have to wait to long to get a seat inside. We had just finished fasting during the week and wanted to experience an A++ meal and started off well. Once seated as always, the waiter comes by and introduces himself and starts off. I would think that look at us he would notice we probably never been here before and would start conversation with menu, specials, and recommendations, but no. So moving one, we chose 2 appetizers to start with, and they were great calamari and a bold flavor steak tip dish with sauce. Steak tips were so good I chose to go with a steak and shrimp for surf and turf. My brother got lamb chops with shrimp. I got to say this is where the ball was just dropped the lamb and steak I don’t know why we’re not on point and steak had no flavor just taste like out the fridge or cooler and to the grill. The steak appetizer had so much more flavor and tenderness than the NY Strip I ordered. We both told the waiter we were not happy with the plate and we could not eat it. Now to desert as you can see in pictures tiramisu and I got chocolate and vanilla ice cream with a cherry and hard chocolate outside. The deserts wow brought us right back to how we started with the appetizers, and we enjoyed them. Overall it wasn’t a horrible experience thats why I still gave them a good rating at 4 starts but the main dish failing the way it did and the waiter came and told us we still have to pay for it because the chef said didn’t sit well with me. At the end of the day ill pay my check. Ill just express my experience for others to see. Would I come back maybe to hope a different entree selection would be better but I wouldn’t recommend it until then.

Maybe, just maybe, their regular food is ok but we went for Sunday sauce and I was extremely disappointed and unimpressed. I dont like going to Italian restaurants because everything always tastes like its from a box and canned, which is literally fine, but I’m not paying restaurant prices for something basic. It tastes like something I can make at home. I was expecting to be floored. I figured im going to give THE restaurant for Italian food a chance and, well, it was as expected. I feel like there was barely any sauce on the pasta (had to ask for extra) and there was just no effort put in this food. Also, I had to salt EVERYTHING because there was absolutely no taste. Would not go back.

Great spot in Bridgeport.
We wanted to eat dinner before a concert at the amphitheater and we walked and found Ralph and Rich’s.
The hostess was able to seat us even though the restaurant was busy.
The menu is very nice and the staff is great.
The bar area is lively and the dining room in the back is quieter.
The apps, the entrees and the desserts are great.
This place is a must try !

One of the best Italian restaurants in Bridgeport! The wine selections and specials are fantastic. The food is delicious. The interior ambience is amazing and the wait staff are attentive and friendly. I can’t wait to return.

I had dinner here before a concert. A family friend suggested it. The restaurant is nice and the service was good. Sadly the food was not enjoyable. We ordered a few things and shared. I’m usually not a fan of mushrooms but the stuffed mushrooms were good. The filling was flavorful. The eggplant rollintini and coconut shrimp were okay, nothing special. The spicy steak was good. It had a little spice but not overpowering. The sauce served with it was not good, I don’t think it compliments the steak. The Mozzarella was horrible. No one could eat it. I think the food here lacks flavor. I personally wouldn’t return. But the important thing is we had a good night together.

My wife and I decided to try somewhere new and chose Ralph ‘n’ Rich’s. We ended up having a great time. The staff was very friendly and attentive. One of my favorite dishes is coconut shrimp so I had to order theirs and it did not disappoint. I was very impressed. By the time the bill came we were both surprised at how reasonable the bill was given the amount of food we got. I would highly recommend this place

I’m astounded at how average the food is in this place. It’s so easy to get Italian right – or wrong for that matter. Restauranteurs are so funny, they only bring the quality up to meet the palate of their clientele – nothing more. Their clientele, in this case is Bridgeport – hardly discerners of fine cuisine. The food at Ralph and Riches stops short of superb because they know they don’t have to take the extra step – nobody knows the difference. Until somebody does.

First time here- the food was great! The linguine with clams stole my heart and the chicken parm and steak was delicious too.
Traditional Italian fare and a great place to bring your parents or grandparents. This place is nicer in real life than in the photos we saw online.
Suggestion: The booths were a little tight and some updating might be worth it to add some warmth (dim lighting, replacing of floors, adding warm tabletop lighting or more bistro lights to outdoor area).
