Chef-owner Riccardo Michi truly communicates his love for Italy and Italian cuisine through every dish as his restaurant, Riccardo Trattoria, located on Clark Street. Michi gives his diners what the chains just cannot: an accurate representation of traditional Italian food. The restaurant is very small and intimate, ensuring plenty of attention and meticulous service from the staff. The considerable menu caters all diners, whether they prefer fish, pasta or meat. There are plenty of family-style antipasti to go around and of course, traditional Italian desserts ranging from sorbet and gelato, to decadent cheese plates and pana cotta. Riccardo Trattoria also offers a tasting menu, which is reasonably priced with many options.
