I've had four credit cards compromised in five years living in The Villages. i'm now almost cash only. Just like other posters, I'm tired of messing with constant replacing and the other hassles that go along with it. the last time was charges all over Florida at Walgreens.

Hardly a police issue. Call your credit card company - they handle billing issues everyday. Clearly the use of "firewall" was from someone without a complete understanding of their system. No need to assume anything otherwise.

I swung by the police annex and apparently there was an issue (maybe using Firewall was wrong word to use on the manager's part) - and VISA cards were compromised and all have been reversed and I should see a credit in the next 24/48 hours. No fault of Ricciardi's if this is so.
Thanks everyone for the feedback ! I may be going cash only soon

They are still liable beyond that. I presume they are transacting credit cards over the internet. That being the case, they are obligated to be "PCI" compliant. More over NOT store credit card information locally, nor bundle transactions (as many large stores and gas stations will do with "pre-authorized" sales).

So, if there was more than one charge (and presuming that they were real time charging). The only way to get double charges is to run the card twice.

More information is at : Official PCI Security Standards Council Site - Verify PCI Compliance, Download Data Security and Credit Card Security Standards


To mirror most others...I 99% of the time use cash (easier and I dont have to worry about "Big Brother" tracking my every purchase).

Default Love Ricciardi's

My wife and I went there last Wednesday. We had appetizers as our meal, and several glasses of wine. We both absolutely LOVED the Prosciutto Bocconcini and the Ricciardi's Famous Meatballs. We will happily return.

My last two experiences at this place were not good.
Food not hot , ditto coffee. Bread was like a hot dog bun. Pasta was a goopy , falling apart mess despite ordering it al dente.
On the other hand it's good for a drink at the bar. Not food.

We were downtown in Brownwood tonight and I saw lots of folks outside at Richiardi's. I guess they were just drinking at the bar. Sure can't be for the food. We were dining at the Bavarian Brewhaus. Excellent authentic German food. My friend had an awesome Lamb Shank for only $14. They have good things other than German too. I had the Pork Jaegerschnitzel. Very good and a huge serving. I sent half of it home with my friend.

Not into the atmosphere or fancy tableware. It's all about the food, nothing else matters.
Try Belview Pizza.....I have been going there since 1974.

a little drive is worth the trip for NY style pizza, grinders...ect

gave up on this place a long time ago. Stavros in Leesburg on the left before town is the best, by far, around. For around $10 you can get eggplant parm, a large plate of spaghetti and meat sauce, Greek salad and garlic bread. Good service too.
