Authentic Italian pizza and pasta right here! The food was AMAZING, and tasted just look food I’ve had in Rome. Portions were huge, and I will easily have 3 meals out of my 1 dish!! Five stars for food. It was also empty at 2:30 on Sunday afternoon so great find! I held back on five stars simply because we had to get our own silverware off another table since the server didn’t check back in with us after receiving our food, and the music was a bit odd for an Italian place (current hits with too much explicit language for my liking).

I went to Rico’s tonight for dinner and I want to compliment how the girls handled a situation tonight that I witnessed. I heard them getting yelled at by a customer over a price issue meanwhile another table yelling at the girls for talking to their customers, doing their JOB! I must say you can’t make everyone happy, but the the girl with the glasses who handled the unrealistic customers was very professional. I even got up to joke with her about it because I saw she was upset from being talked to like that not once, but twice. I’m sorry, but it’s noisy in any restaurant and if you don’t want to hear people talking, go eat at home or outside. It’s simple. Aside from that, the food was fantastic and the service was impeccable. All 3 girls working were very attractive, attentive, and smiling. Kudos to whoever made the cellphone rule at Rico’s! Job well done ladies and sorry you had to experience terrible customers tonight! You handled that well. I’ll be back 🙂 Robert

Among the best pizza you can have in Sarasota. Always consistent. Service was pretty good in the evening rush. They had a birthday party and a homeless guy to contend with so I appreciate the effort.

We go into Rico’s almost every Friday night as a family tradition. We love their spinach and artichoke dip and eggplant parm! We had the pleasure of having Jenny this past Friday, her bubbly personality and great service was exceptional.. the sister behind the counter and the tall young man that are there Fridays are all around team players, helping the girls in the dining room.. a true family working together. See you all next Friday!

Took my kids to Rico’s and as we were sitting there watching everyone work (we opened the joint up) my son asks, “Dad, which job is the most important one…?”. I looked around at the 6 people from the phones to the oven and everyone was cranking. My reply, “every job here is the most important.”. All were hard at work at their assignment – something we don’t see very often anymore. Well done Rico’s…good food, great experience and staff…

It seems like every time I go to Ricos I always get the new girl that just started that week. He’s having a hard time hanging on the people. I guess it’s widespread throughout the industry but fortunately it’s not affecting the quality of the food. The food still good he just might have to wait longer than you should to get the food so before one. Don’t go too Hungry.
