Riccardo Michi comes from a restaurant Family in Milan established since 1943 called Girarrosto, one of the first Tuscan restaurants in town and still operating.

Came here for Restaurant Week and while our group still had a great meal and experience, it was a little underwhelming/didn’t blow us away.
Understandably the staff was busy, but the service we received was relatively slow (after having been sat late and having sat for a while).
Appetizers all around were a hit but a couple of main courses felt small in volume as well as taste. Personally enjoyed the Risotto dish myself but had friends who weren’t impressed with the Lamp Chops and Ravioli dishes.
Have been to other Italian restaurants in the city I would choose over this one.
Again, a great meal, but didn’t meet high expectations.

The octopus looked appetizing but was unfortunately very tough and chewy, which made it hard to enjoy. The lamb, despite being listed as a special, had no real flavour, plain inside and underwhelming overall but tender though. The carbonara had nice flavour from the bacon, but the pasta itself was too dry, which threw the balance off.
On top of that, the seating near the entrance wasn’t comfortable. The door was left open, and the wind kept coming in, making it hard to settle in and enjoy the meal. Keeping the inside door closed would have made a big difference.
While the dishes had potential, the execution and overall dining experience didn’t quite meet expectations.

I had a great experience at Riccardo Trattoria in Lincoln Park, Chicago. The atmosphere is cozy and feels like a true neighborhood Italian spot. The food was fantastic — everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and authentic. The pasta was especially impressive and clearly made with care. The service was warm and attentive, which made the whole experience even better.
If you’re looking for great Italian food in Lincoln Park, Riccardo Trattoria is definitely a place worth visiting. I’ll definitely be back!

This was our first time here. We are just spending a few days on our vacation. We met with friends who live here. Overall, it was a great experience and we were especially impressed with the service. Our waiter knew we had much “catch up” to do and dinner was well paced. The entrees are reasonably priced but we felt that the salads could be larger in size and the desserts appeared a bit pricey.

Great ambiance, food and service! I drive by it always and today decided to come it! The place is cozy, has a friendly cordial staff and the food is amazing! I had the eggplant parmigiana and will definitely will be back for that! Nice discovery and wish I stopped by years ago 🙂

I would love to put 5 stars for them but me taking out points from the first step in the lady told us that we have to leave before a specific time !!! And I found that supper weird ! I know you are booked and I understand the business aspect but for a person like me coming for the first time to this place and in my all reviews journey I was never asked to finish at certain time !
So that was one point ! The appetizer was good but average for any Italian restaurant , the wine is 5 stars ( I love it )
There were some comments from our waiter ( he did a comment that we have money and we are giving it to him for his excellent service) and he was good ( but next time don’t tell a customer that he will pay you ) I found that a little rude ! And of course we won’t level until we give you what you deserve! Let put here half point
But the majority of the point deduction was the food ! I was promised to find an amazing and famous Italian experience but we didn’t ! Half of our group liked the food but the other half were really disappointed! I am adding some pictures to the food and the place check it out !
I am not going to give up hope on them I will try another day with a promise to change my review if my next experience is better !

The food here is straight-up amazing!! hands down the best Italian I’ve had in Chicago, and I’ve hit up a ton of spots. I keep coming back, no question. The staff treats you like family, and the service is flawless. Riccardo’s Trattoria is the real deal.

Great food and wine selection. The grilled octopus was a little overcooked, but honestly it was such a large portion it would have been hard to not overcook part and or undercook. Flavor was great.
Dined with 2 others and all entrees were so good. Service was prompt but not pushy. Table and chairs comfortable. Def recommend.

I used to like this place, even after I moved away from it, I will come back to have dinner there. But recently I went there and felt it is not as good as before. Ever since they took off the veal steak menu, it’s only boring food. Some dishes the salt was not evenly spread. And the service is getting worse too, though it’s still kinda popular at dinner time, I won’t come back again.

Love the authentic Italian food served at Riccardo Trattoria…. Special favorites are the stuffed zucchini blossoms and gazpacho with fresh crab meat on top in the warm months. The branzino is also an excellent choice. Obviously, they have wonderful fresh pasta as well! The tables are close together and it gets quite loud, but it is a very festive and convivial atmosphere that keeps us coming back.
