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

    Small rather intimate restaurant with good noise levels for conversation. Food choices are extensive, well done and inventive.

    Yummy pasta but a bit cramped and can get a littleeeee noisy just because of the size of the place. Also I’m a big hater of the fat stubby wine glasses 😂 makes me feel like im drinking at a 20 something mans apartment. A classy martini or wine glass makes me happy when I’m out.

    Food was delicious but the lamb shank was a lot less meat than most places where I have ordered the same thing. Regardless , it was still delicious, just not as filling so my daughter who ordered the jam shank had to have some of my pasta to fill up. Wait staff was nice but clearly busy. Kitchen allowed us to switch from fries that came with the shank to asparagus, so we were grateful for that. All in all, a good experience 👍🏼
