Buon apetito! Pittsburgh?s TOP THREE BEST AUTHENTIC ITALIAN, a rarity in a town of many who claim Italian roots but very poor... choices of real Italian food. The menu is short and sweet, a mark of a great chef. The published listing are the popularstaples, but there?s a daily special. If you?re looking for chicken cooked with pasta or meatballs spaghetti (with Italians doNOT serve), this your chance to explore a range of authentic selections. My recommendations: ANTIPASTI - (a) stuffed artichokesas on the Romans can make; (b) caprese, real fresh mozzarella and tomatoes with a splash of olive oil, herbs and light vinegar;(c) crispy provolone with mellow marinara sauce PASTA - go for Rico?s angel hair in a silken cream sauce as only an Italiancould make, topped with crunchy pignoli (absolutely exquisite); order a side of asparagus that?s another texture VEAL - any ofthe Vitella is sumptuous but I?m partial to the Lorenzini, juicy tender topped with prosciutto, cheese and mushrooms with asuperb cream sauce (reminds me of veals I?ve had in Florence and Milan), WOW MANZO - a great selection of steaks, but I?mpartial to the straight Filet Mignon with sautéed mushrooms, perfectly mid-rare lightly seasoned highlighting the flavor of thejuicy meat (WOW) VINO - they have a great selection, take your time going through the iPad. My complement to the sommelier whoput together a large selection across all of Italy?reminds me of my favorite wine bar at Piazza Navona Oh Italian dining isincomplete without Espresso Doble and Limoncello Service was excellent.

Food is ok nothing special. We had a group of 8 people all were first time diners at Rico?s we all felt like we were eating food... from the past like the 80s. We spent over $200 for really basic Italian food with little flavor, the Alfredo was really bad itwas just cream, the pasta was stuck together, it wasn?t the best. Food is about 3 out of 10 to be honest & super over pricedwith vallet Read more

Valet guys are awesome. Inside is clean. The staff is very nice. I was not impressed with the food, though. Italian bread should... be served. Salad should be an Italian blend and the house dressing should be a homemade oil & vinegar mixture. Angel hair whitecream sauce is not good at all. New York strip was thick and juicy, but not flavorful. Offer spring water or San Pelligrino.The quality is not worth the price. Rico's needs help. Read more

Rico's hosted my Mom's 90th Birthday dinner in a private room. From the planning to the serving to the end of the evening,... everyone was attentive and kind. The food was delicious, with an appetizer buffet and sit down meal, highly recommend forparties and an evening out! Read more

I've only been here for lunch, but on my last visit I had some of the best gnocchi I ever tasted. Today I had a delightful dish... of chicken with peppers and mushrooms in a tomato basil sauce. It was wonderful! There is a wide list of desserts from whichto choose. The ambiance is cozy and comfortable, the service great. Overall, you can't miss with a meal here! Read more
