Default Get it fixed

What a shame and gross. I hope you called the manager over to show him/her the hair in your drink. He can only fix problems he knows about.

Sorry to hear it. We've had nothing but good food and good service at Ricciardis.

Ate there last night. Started with bar service, very friendly bartender with not long enough for a pony tail length hair, clean and neat, washed his hands appropriately. Dinner was very good, dinner mate had a perfect pizza that I'll definitely try next time. No issues with altering my pasta as I wanted fettuccine instead of tortellini. A good experience!

Everything has been hairless.

Haven't you ever heard the expression "hair of the dog" LOL.
We have eaten there several times and really enjoyed it every time. My wife loves the broccoli rabe and I like the ice cold beer!

Riccardis is part of the Valdianos Pizza in Winter Park, Orlando etc.
They are constantly rated #1 for best pizza.
Try their Lasagna pizza. It's great.

I've been there a number of times and thought it was great. Service, drinks and food were exceptional. Will definitely go back. I personally thought it was significantly better than Chefs of Napoli III

There must have been something wrong that evening. I hope you let the manager know, as they will typically fix these things immediately. All of our meals have been great.
