Wonderful birthday celebration with my best friend. Delicious martini and lobster roll, and the bread, cheese and fig jam was the perfect starter! Delightful service, and remains a Chicago favorite :)

Friend of mine wanted to go to an Italian restaurant and I remembered Ricardo Trattoria, which is fairly close to my home. We had a wonderful meal. They tried to accommodate the fact that both of us don’t hear well, but the acoustics need help the food was excellent. The service as well. I highly recommend this restaurant clearly it’s been around for many years and there’s a good reason for that.

    We had an unusual experience. We got stuck in the elevator going to the restaurant for at least 20 minutes while the engineers worked to get us out. When we finally arrived at the restaurant, we were treated like royalty, and the entire meal was comped for our troubles. That said, the food was good but the Machiato Noir dessert is so delicious, it's worth the trip even if you don't get stuck in the elevator and get your meal comped. The service was also excellent, and the setting is magnificent, especially on a beautiful fall day when the views are spectacular.

    Food was out of this world good. Not overly smoky. Super juicy and the flavor was unbelievably delicious. I had the brisket sandwich and my wife had the pork sandwich. Both were terrific. Don’t pass up on the Bacon Candy…🤤🤤. Definitely going to go back
