We didn't enjoy dining outside near the bar especially when the restaurant allows pets in this area. The real disturbing issue here is the waiters who pet the dogs and them come to serve you at your table. A lesson in restaurant hygiene may be in order.
The food quality and preparation has been changing too. My fish was not well prepared and the sauce that it was to be served with was pitifully almost non existent on the plate.
There are a few good choices for Italian dining in the Villages, Ricciardi's seem to be working itself down to the bottom of our list.

Ate there last year about a month after it opened. It was, well, less than a spectacular restaurant experience. Disappointed to hear that there doesn't look to be much improvement, love Italian and live close to BW
