6 of us went Saturday. None of us were impressed at all.
We sat at the outside bar for drinks and got a beeper. Our beeper went off. the girls went in while the guys paid the bill. They said our beeper shouldn't have gone off. Back to the bar. 12 minutes later, it goes off again. Again, they said it shouldn't have gone off. I asked for the manager. He said give him 5 minutes. 15 minutes later they called us. I thought the portions were very small for the price. Only 1 soup and it wasn't good. 7 lobster ravioli and a small dinner salad $18.00 was not worth it and it wasn't good. We all had a different meal. 3 had salad and 3 had soup. One sent his meal back and said he didn't want anything else. I'm sure there are some that like it and that's great. I never want any business to struggle. I hope they do well.

Been there 4 times. Lunch is good. Good food, service and atmosphere. Dinner is very loud, confusing with mediocre food. Will go back, but only for lunch

Based on this, I am going to give the restaurant more time to get their act together prior to giving it a try.

They would have to be really good before I would pay those prices. Just not a place I would drop $18.00 a meal for pasta. We eat out almost every night so I can't afford those prices.

We know another restaurant owner in TV who watches the feedback on TOV very carefully and tries to adapt and evolve as necessary. I just hope the Ricciardis folks do the same. I would love nothing more than to be able to say it's a great Italian restaurant.

We were glad our seats were still available at the bar. Your experience sounds just like ours.

We also found the food to be very bland and skimpy portions...do not order the calamari; very small portion for the price. I had the pasta with white clam sauce and hubby had the lasagna. Neither dish was impressive. Prices too high for what you get. Service was mediocre, waitress never introduced herself and managers pranced about the restaurant but never stopped at our table. Had to request silverware; everyone else had cloth napkins but we got paper! Have no plans to return.

Had lunch yesterday at Ricciardi's and found it to be rather disappointing. My first observation is that it is very noisy with sounds reverberating all over the place. Caesar Salad was served with a highly excessive amount of dressing. It tasted extremely bitter and lemony. Three quarters of it was left in the bowl. No comment from server when I advised how bad it was. Menu indicated all entrees were served with Garlic Bread. We were served a couple of rolls and a couple of Bread Knots which we were later told were Garlic Knots. None of us were able to detect even the slightest taste of Garlic.
My entrée, Veal Parm proved to be the same yucky Veal Cubed Steak served at most Italian/American Restaurants. It is not Veal Cutlet but rather scraps from a lean cut of leg and processed by machine that tenderizes. If the menu doesn't specify "Veal Cutlet Parm", rest assured you'll get the stuff described above. Didn't much care for the sauce either. From my perspective it had a bitter taste which I didn't care for. In a word, this dining experience was, mediocre! |

I know when we go to Mezza Luna you can hear them in the back pounding the veal to tenderize. First time I heard it I asked what they were working on in the kitchen & they said just pounding the veal.
