    Meatlovers Calzone
    Frank P.

    We hadn't been here in a while so we decided to stop in. This used to be a really good Italian restaurant but now it's just okay. I was honestly a little disappointed with my meal. The garlic bread was very good as always. The house red wine that I had was okay. For my entree I had the meat lovers calzone. It lacked flavor and it seemed a little bland. I tried to add red pepper flakes and that made it a little better. Maybe I should've tried something else on the menu.

    Grilled chicken salad. No onion or hard boiled on this $11 quarter head of lettuce. Pathetic.

    I've not had a restaurant experience this bad in a long time. Riccardo's reminds me of freshman year of college; an absolute mess. After 3 tries getting through, I placed an order to go. Grilled chicken salad, take n' bake pizza, a sandwich and garlic bread. Basically my order required almost nothing to be cooked. I like to keep things stupid simple. I was told to come in 25-30 minutes. Being conservative, I arrived 45 minutes later. This is when chaos ensued. Every 5-10 minutes for the next 40 minutes I waited there, I was told I'd have my order shortly. No dice. I wasn't offered anything as I waited, and frankly the manager seemed like he could've cared less. Oh well, I still tipped $7 on a $50 "to-go" order. When I got home, of course the order was botched. The salad was missing 2 of the 5 ingredients that were supposed to come on it. It maybe had half of head of lettuce and the chicken resembled a rubber duck. The pizza had a paltry amount of ricotta on it of which I spent an extra $3.50 on and was so misshapen that it looked like Ray Charles had rolled out the dough. The sandwich was missing one of the types of meat that were supposed to come on it and the garlic bread was colder than Amber Heard in front of a jury. That's typically what happens when you stand around waiting 40 minutes for something It's a shame as this place is just right down the street from my house; but what's it matter when you wait longer than an appointment at the DMV?

    Chicken alfredo I added the pepper

    I enjoyed my first time at Riccardo's, went with a friend and ordered a really nice bottle of red wine. THE BREAD was amazing this is definitely some of the best bread I have had in Tallahassee. The chicken alfredo was really basic just the alfredo sauce and pasta like no seasoning. I tried a slice of my friends pizza it was tasty. At the end of our meal the re-corked the wine and we took it with us. I will definitely come back to try some different items on the menu.

    Since moving here from Los Angeles in 2018, I've been on the hunt for notable foodie spots here in Tallahassee, and pizza is always at the top of my list. When this place advertises a secret bread recipe... Get curious, it's real! Perfect crispy outside with a soft doughy inside. Listen, this may seem like a generic boast, I get it. Just try it and thank me later. My 6 year old even noticed how good the crust was and 98% of kids will usually leave that bit on the plate. Also to mention. The price point is perfect for a comfortable family night out. Well done Riccardo's, we will be back

    Baked spaghetti
    Aaron T.

    Riccardos is pretty good. I got the baked spaghetti which was ok, but my mom got one of their calzones and it was delicious. If I were to go again that's what I would get. I would stick with their calzones/pizza/subs. The pasta is average and honestly you might be able to make better at home. The secret bread is fresh and delicious and good for scooping up the ample sauce they put on their pasta. It's also good to try with the garlic butter. They have good COVID pickup service. It didn't take long to get our food after we ordered. They are tucked away in a nice location near Midtown and they have decent evening hours.

    First time trying this place out. Ordered a pizza to go but it was amazing. Definitely will be back to try other stuff from the menu.

    Stuffed Shells
    Hikari M.

    3.5/5 stars. This place wasn't bad, but it was nothing extraordinary. The interior space was nice and clean with good layout and lighting. The menu had a good amount of options without being overwhelming, unless it's a Thursday night, during which they also offer German food. The prices are also decent; it was like $10.95 for fettuccine Alfredo with extra $3 with chicken. I got the stuffed shells, which were very rich but tasty (pictured) for $11.95. The pasta was cooked well and it was a decent portion. A half loaf of garlic bread was like $3.99, which was enough for the three of us. The secret bread itself was okay. It came out so hot, we couldn't touch it for the first few minutes. There's an herb in it that's faintly detectable, maybe rosemary. The garlic bread wasn't super garlicky or buttery, but it was soft and better than the big hunks they serve with the appetizer. The only thing really above average about it was the temperature. We had really nice service; our drinks and food came at good speeds and our waiter was very polite. Overall, I feel like this is a decent Italian food place but nothing extraordinarily special.

As I looked out the window while gathering my belongings at the end of class, I discovered The Bar at Betton. I noticed nicely dressed individuals looking like they were enjoying some cocktails, wine and brews with their pals. I immediately texted my gfs and told them that we must try it out for our next girls night out. With that said, the following Saturday evening, we did! The parking was easy to handle. As we approached The Bar at Betton, I noticed indoor and outdoor seating areas, high tops, etc. The music was lightly playing in the background while sounds of conservation between friends were heard. A great gathering spot! I liked it so far. We walked in the doors, looked for a spot at the bar to sit (to the left) and was greeted immediately, WaY to GO Bar Staff! We ordered a few drinks - I tried a specialty cocktail named, "Champs-Elyssee" - it was a great ! Then, we talked with the bartender a bit and went about enjoying our girls night out. I snapped a photo of the menu because each dish that was served to other customers looked really good. Moistened my palate and smelt good too! Before leaving, we visited the restrooms which are located outside of the building. I thought that was neat too. Clean and stocked. Always a good thing! Anywho - I am glad I got to try The Bar at Betton out. I will be back and can't wait to try out the food sometime.
