Riccardo’s

Me and my wife just went here for the first time and was very happy with our choice my wife had the rigatoni and she loves it she is very picky so that says a lot I had the braciole need roll and it was very good and had Reeses cheese cake and was delicious great lil local restaurant Will be Coming here again for sure

Not a huge fan of this restaurant. The husband and I found it to be over priced and small portions. We haven’t been back.

Great Italian Restaurant, Good Pizza, Pasta, and Good Service. We are frequent visitors.

This was disappointing. Will not go back. Food had no taste very bland. Service was not good. Pleasant just not good. Bread came after meal arrived we were never offered Parmesan cheese for our entrees.

Food is great, love their pizzas and the chicken Marsala. People are very friendly. Child friendly too!

My third experience at this amazing restaurant was truly the best ever. It was a take out and the only complaint would be there wasn’t seconds. The soup was delightful with every bite being different with sausage and meatballs. The main course was Chicken Marsala and it was tender and moist smothered in just the right amount of sauce with a generous amount of portobello mushrooms. And then there was desert. The cannoli’s were unbelievable. Crunchy, sweet, and creamy. No need to travel anywhere but Riccardo’s in Belleview for great Italian cuisine.

I have been a frequent customer for a little over a yr now since I have moved to Bellview. I am only giving this place three stars since they do have delicious food. With that being said it really seems to depend on the cooks mood. After my take out today they have lost my respect and appreciation for a local business.
–First, my boyfriend brought home a wrong (half eaten) pizza.
–I call back to tell them he is on the way they tell me oh great we have yours waiting for you. Since it has now been about 30mins I ask for a fresh pizza and the server says «sure no problem» in a snarky sarcastic tone and hangs up.
–My boyfriend returns home with the second pizza, looks great! Go to pick it up, completely doughy not even cooked.
–I call ask for a manager. These are my two favorite comments of hers: «you left with a large pizza box when you ordered a medium.»
Okay cool, I’m glad you took responsibility for your server mistakes.
— I made the comment that this is the second time I would rather get my money back and go to Bellview pizza. Her response. «This is only your first time telling me away it»
Okay so it’s my fault your servers didn’t let a manager on duty know that they made a mistake.
Best part is the cook proceeded to argue with the manager in front of my boyfriend pretty much calling him stupid and telling him it was clearly just melted cheese.
Point is. Accidents happen, I wasn’t mad about that. But do not blame it on me and do nothing about it. No customer service, no one to give service to… Another one bites the dust!

Riccardo’s is Best in Class across the Board– Every selection on the menu is first rate from Pizza to the Dailey Specials. If you haven’t had a chance to eat there yet and appreciate quality food, excellent service and a great dining experience you need to stop by. Oh and the prices are really good as well!!!

We eat here a minimum of twice a month, usually a group of 8 .
We all love their selections, specials and wait staff
Portions are great and special dishes some of the best I have had.
Family from Boston said they were as good or better than restaurants there!
Always take visitors here also no complaints ever.

I love this place. They have the most unique recipes for specials I’ve seen in the whole area! The calzones are unbelievable and the sauce is perfect. My wife said that the food tastes like the chef loves to cook and I agree! Be careful of the garlic knots, they’re addicting.

This place has terrible, oily and dirt cheap nasty ingredients. The pizza is plain bad. The server was nice but not attentive. The pizza guy in the back had a grumpy look on his face like he’s tired of customers and hates his job. The pasta fagioli soup was like dumpy clay and smelled rotten. I think this place is horrible but no one knows the difference being there aren’t any real Italian pizzeria’s around. My wife even feels sick as I type this. Don’t waste your money here. Chefs of Napoli is much better.

I had the opportunity to visit Riccardo’s with family and in-​laws this past week.
I felt it was a great experience. Overall, I give a rating of «4» stars, but for the area I would rate it a «5».
The food was great. And they are very flexible on the menu. Even though it was not listed as a «pasta» available, I saw Gnocchi on the menu in another dish. I asked if I could get Gnocchi as my pasta and it was no problem. One of our party ordered the potato encrusted fish: it was outstanding. The house sauce on my pasta was very tasty, with enough spice, but not too much. The house salad was okay, the balsamic dressing was great! Basically everyone enjoyed their food.
Our service was excellent. The waitress seated us in the backroom at our request and it is quieter than the front room. Everything came out in a timely manner. Bread was provided when we were seated and, at our request, when our food arrived.
I am definitely going to make a return trip.

I had excellent eggplant parmesan with perfect al dente fettuccine in butter. My partner ordered a calzone. It was big enough for 2 healthy appetites. I tried it the crust was flaky and perfectly crisp.
A belleview treat. Best Italian in the Ocala Florida area! Enjoy!

I have been to Riccardo’s probably 4 times. Each time the food was wonderful. I am pretty picky but each and every meal was delicious. The prices are very reasonable and the service is good. We are lucky to have such a good place so close to home.

I ordered the clams in white sauce. We received bread knots brushed with garlic butter. The wait staff was very attentive and food service was fast. The pasta was home made and the pesto sauce was perfect! What a treat to find such as wonderful restaurant within 5 miles of home. I know where we’ll take our friends and company!
Plan to take grandson for dinner on Sunday… will check back.

Good food. Service was slow but the server was nice. Didn’t check on us often enough. Had to ask for bread to go with our pasta. But I was three quarters finished and my partner was completely finished with his pasta before she brought out the bread. However the freshly baked bread was delicious and the salads were very fresh.

Great food, wonderful menu, hidden gem. Just moving to the Ocala area and relatives brought me there as the token family Italian from the Northeast. I was very impressed. Great quality food at reasonable prices. Service was good.

Awesome food, so-​so service…

We were there for dinner with 15 others, and yet the service was good and the food was served promptly and hot.
I had the best «Eggplant Parmigiana»
My wife Terry had fish which she enjoyed very much, and we both saved room for desserts which was outstanding.
The prices were very reasonable.
