Opened Daily for Dinner
Riccardo started his career at a very young age in Milan's prestigious GIRARROSTO which was family owned. Then, in 1982 he moved to the United States and he opened the famous Sonny Bono's in Los Angeles. In 1987 he started to work with his cousin Roberto Ruggeri (owner of Bice Ventures), with him he opened Bice New York, Los Angeles and many others around the world.

Here through the craftsmanship of an Italian food connoisseur, dishes are prepared with an almost zen-like essentiality that has shaped Riccardo's professional and existential life course.

In addition to its exceptional cuisine, Riccardo Osteria has a wonderful selection of wines to complement our dishes perfectly. Come join us at the Bar for a meal or just a glass of wine.

Highlights of the menu include Chicken Parmigiana, Mixed Grilled Seafood Plater, Bucatini Carbonara, Linguini Vongole, assorted Risotto and Veal Scallopine, and for dessert Classic Tiramisu

    Way too many tables in there, did not feel like a romantic, intimate setting. Food was quite disappointing.

    I dined in here and had a wonderful meal. Our server was kind, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. However, we mistakenly believed our gratuity was included in the bill, so we paid our total and left. Less than 10 minutes after leaving, we received a phone call asking why we didn’t include gratuity. There could be many reasons a person doesn’t pay gratuity, but it was an honest mistake. To receive a call after having a nice meal to be asked why gratuity wasn’t given was upsetting and ruined the entire experience we had just enjoyed. We didn’t have an opportunity to correct our mistake before receiving a call inquiring why we hadn’t tipped. It was distasteful. We added gratuity over the phone because of our server, and the food was excellent. But honestly, after this l interaction I doubt we will return.

    Decent place but the service felt extremely rushed. My waiter rushed to clear each course without us being done. They’d continuously come over to check to see if we’d completed our dish. By the 3rd course they came over and insisted on boxing our plates and they already had desert in hand. It wasn’t like there was a line of people waiting, there were a ton of available tables by 8p. We came in at 7:30 and were out by 9. Overall, I wish they’d been a little more considerate.

    Great time catching up with a friend with lots of good food and cocktails. We attended during restaurant week and the variety on the menu was great! I nervously tried the recommended peach tart and it was delicious.

    Waited half an hour past our reservation time to be seated. Waiter didn’t inform us that whole party would have to participate in restaurant week menu, so it took an extra 30 minutes to look over the menu again. Ended up being an hour and a half before we were served our food.
