Always love going to Ricardo’s for a fun night of great Italian food, wine and service. Giuseppe always greats us like family and makes everyone feels welcome as he shares his fun personality from the young to the old. All of your traditional Italian favourites are on the menu and the specials are always tempting with their traditional flair. Great atmosphere and yes you must book every night of the week because this is a popular local icon. Great all year round and the tables outside in summer are always popular.

Hands down, this is my favourite Italian restaurant in Melbourne, if not just my favourite restaurant in general. It's always, always delicious and homely. It's a local gem, so the owners and staff get to know you and are always warm and welcoming. The food is really, really good. The menu is a mix of basics like lasagne, but then there is an ever changing specials board with beautiful creations. Almost every dish can be made starter size or main meal size. The first time I came here, I had the lasagne, and it was one of the best I've ever had. But after that, I tried their Chicken Tortellini and I've never looked back. I haven't found that anywhere else, and it's honestly the best pasta dish I've had pretty much anywhere. Desserts change either weekly or monthly, but they're on a rotation, so you'll eventually see a favourite again. The only slight negative I could say about here, is that it's a small space, so it can get very cramped in here. But taking everything in to consideration like friendly staff, great food, easy parking and a nice atmosphere, makes even that bearable. I highly recommend Ricardo's. Eccellente!
