Default Ricciardis in Brownwood

Went to the private opening tonight and OMG, we were expecting good, but this was better. From the veal parmigiana to the exceptional shrimp & scallops Juliana with salad or soup included to the homemade cannoli we were very impressed. They will open on Wednesday and the only problem we see is that you will have trouble getting in. We will definitely be regulars. P.S. the pizza is great - voted best in Orlando at their other restaurants called Valdianos.

Thanks for the post. We went by there this evening. Didn't realize it was open until we saw people sitting outside eating. Can't wait to try it!

The sigh outside said it would be open to the public on Wednesday. The gift shop next door is open and my wife loved it says the prices are very good.

We attended the Private Opening last night also. Really impressed with quality of the food. Really nice atmosphere in the seating area also. Great sized portions of food as long as they stay that way. We will return next week to see if the same.

The Rustic Rose opened up beside them also. Very reasonable prices. Was very surprised at that... Great merchandise and very nice workers also.

My wife couldn't miss stopping in at Rustic Rose too. Prices are good and we walked out with armfuls!
Both new additions are great for Brownwood.
Cody's told us at lunch they should open in September.

You need to know someone that works there or go onto their Facebook page and like it they give away passes to come in to them

I went to the friends and family night and it was amazing...They are just the nicest guys that own it and the staff was great..talk around town is they were not very ready for the opening and was very confusing but the first month is always going to be. Don't listen to others try for yourself but I will still give it another month or two too get the kinks out

Had lunch there today. I had their chicken parmesan. YUM! I'm looking forward to going back. I also thought their prices were reasonable, too.
