First time here and EVERYTHING was amazing!! .Pizza .Spaghetti & meatballs .Calzone .calamari .Garlic bread . Lemonade. .. best part is that the grandkids luv'd it. Bonus!!! read more

Service was good. Ambiance is also good. Pizza was great. But the meatballs on top were disgusting. Like a faux meat supplement or something gone bad; it smells like chemicals and has a weird taste and aftertaste. If they don't make their meatballs anymore and outsource that's fine-- they just need to try their supply before making customers pay for nasty stuff. My uncle warned me because he came in the day before and got the meatball calzone only to have a terrible experience; wanted to see if it was a one-off and it's not. read more

Service was good. Even though I had to ask for a to go box twice. Pizzawas great, spaggitti was lacking and expensive for what we got. Dessert was good read more

I ordered food for Italian mom. This is not Italian food. I ordered. 2 Calzones. Only got one. I also ordered 6 spicy arancini, 2 cannoli. The calzone was big cold with little filling. Not worth $21 each. The arancini were completely broken, soggy, and super salty not spicy. They were inedible. Not worth $4 each. The cannoli had super hard shells and barely any flavorless melted cream filling. Not worth $5 each. I spent $120 dollars with tax and delivery for food that was definitely not worth it. I'm not sure how much delivery was to blame but food was terrible! read more

Had a week left before expiration on a Groupon I purchased a couple of months ago so decided to use it today. Place was a little difficult to find as you blink an eye and miss it although it's right on Bellflower Blvd. Entrance is right on Bellflower as well, but it's a bit confusing cause where you enter it looks like you're entering a bar (plenty of tables outside) and there's a back covered patio with a set of double doors that appears is an entrance as well (it's not). We found parking behind the restaurant in a huge city lot for several other businesses as well. Aside from the long intro, we were greeted by a very friendly server and we were the only customers at 1st. I called before as the groupon stated reservations were required (they weren't, just recommended). We were seated promptly and I informed the server that we had a groupon, which was for 2 glasses of wine and two entrees (anything beyond is added on separately). We started with the caprese salad (18.00). It was good but only 5 pieces and IMO not worth the price. Our entrees came with soup or salad so I ordered a salad with Italian dressing and it was mostly just lettuce, but tasty nonetheless. BFF had the soup which was a cup of minestrone and he said it was ok. I ordered the canneloni which came with ground beef and cheese. It was the perfect sized portion as it was very tasty and rich. My friend ordered the chicken fettucini Alfredo and he said it was ok. All entrees came with a fresh basket of garlic bread, which was very good. We ended our meal with 2 orders of cannoli (17.00) as I assumed it would be 1 large cannoli each and it was 5 small presented very nicely. It was very good but also a bit sweet and ended up taking two pieces home. Overall, not a bad place at all, just missing a lil more to make it excellent. read more

Ricci Italian in Bellflower is a classic gem! 83 years in business!! We found parking on Bellflower blvd., but they do have a parking lot in the back. Our server was really warm, friendly, and attentive. We had 5 people, so we ordered some appetizers to keep the ha fries at bay. The fried calamari rings were disappointing as they were chewy, but the mozzarella was deeelish! Of course I checked Yelp for the popular dishes and that inspired me to order the Pasta A La Ricci. It was really good...but...it said it had artichoke hearts but I couldn't find any..I asked the server and he said it was mixed into the sauce. I was also a tad disappointed in the scallops...there were hardly any and they were super small. That being said-it was still super flavorful and I was excited to have my leftovers for lunchThe next day. (They don't skimp on portions) The garlic bread is outstanding!! The lemon chicken soup is very good and comforting. Whether you're coming for a date night, a family dinner, or a casual meal with friends, Ricci's can accommodate as they have a huge space for any occasion. Great service, great food, and great old-school vibes. read more

I'm so sad updating my review for this place. My fiancé and I used to visit at least once a week for date night and always considered this place a 10/10. Sadly, we recently stopped by and noticed a significant decline in the quality of the food. The on the house garlic bread is gone, and you now have to pay extra for it. It's replaced instead by unbuttered plain white bread. The salad now comes with an extremely watered down ranch dressing that lacks any of its former flavor. It really feels like management has chosen to cut corners at the expense of food quality. We are heartbroken to say we won't be returning as often as we used to, especially given how great this restaurant used to be. I will say service remains great it's just the food quality. Hopefully it improves again. read more

So I'll start with a disclaimer: I was here as part of a large party. We were seated on the back patio which had a lovely ambiance and a nice breeze blowing through. Did it take 20 minutes to get a glass of water? Yes, it did. Did the food come out quickly once we finally ordered? Yes, it did. Our table had a little bit of everything. Those who ordered calzones were very happy with the hearty portions. My neighbor who had the chicken Parmesan said it was tasty. My Italian sausage with peppers? It was basically a bowl of spaghetti with half a sliced sausage and maybe a quarter of a pepper sliced into it. To say it was disappointing is an understatement. If the menu says Italian sausage and peppers with spaghetti, I expect the sausage and peppers to be the main, not the spaghetti. Dessert was tasty but it was another long wait for the check. In fact, I wrote this review while waiting for it. read more

The best Italian in Bellflower, hands down! :) I ordered the baked manicotti and was quite impressed, perfectly flavored and properly cooked! Their garlic bread and mozzarella sticks were phenomenal as well! The staff were friendly and attentive, and we were wanting for nothing. The place has a good amount of indoor seating, and a huge covered outdoor area in back, and the place is immaculate - clean and well lit. In all we'll certainly be back. read more

Nice place, food was plain overcooked chicken in my chicken parmesan calzone and in the fettuccine. Mildly disappointed after watching previous posts on social media..... read more

The best pizza in town! I also love their pastas and desserts! This is my Italian place to go for a good dinner with my wife!.

Please check your receipts!! The amount price on the receipt does not match the price on the menu! This is illegal! I don't know if this is a tactic or who is doing that but that made me never want to go back ever again. read more

We went to have dinner at Ricci's Italian in Bellflower a little while ago. Nice house salad (9/10) with wonderful italian dressing (9/5/10) and vegetable minestrone soup with small pasta (8.5/10), which adults and kids enjoyed. Our entrees included Chicken parmigiana (8/10), veal parmigiana (7/10) , and bacon carbonara with shrimp (8/10), quite rich and creamy, but not goopy. All quite good. Nice that they have Peroni on tap, tasted fairly fresh (8/10). Veal cutlet portion felt a little undersized but chicken was hearty, and red sauce (both marinara and meat sauce) are deep red, slightly thick and pasty...not a light sauce. Service was friendly and attentive throughout our meal, except for the end (when we suffered a accidental water spill and had to mop it uo ourselves). Garlic bread (6/10) was pale and had no taste of garlic: just butter, salt and pepper. At least it tasted fresh and warm. We had spumoni (9/10) and tiramisu (6/10) for dessert. Enjoyed the spumoni but I would skip tiramisu when coming back: beautifully presented but all the art was on the plate, instead of in the flavor of the tiramisu. Ricci's has been around since 1944. But from the outside and inside, you wouldn't guess that. The building seems pretty modern, as well as the interior, a somewhat classic upscale vibe. I really want to like this place (I have a fondness for historic dining) and I look forward to coming back to try the sandwiches and the pizza, both of which look good. read more

New and elegant menu! I've been coming for years and I'm really happy with the new items. The Calabrian pizza is my favorite. It's savory and fresh. In one of the photos is the lasagna and chicken for two. And when they say that chicken is for two, they here not kidding. I'm more than full and will be back.

Tucked away in Bellflower is this elegant mom and pop Italian restaurant serving up classic pasta dishes, generously portioned at a decent price. I greatly enjoyed the ambiance and the food was delicious. I went two hours before closing and the staff was more than happy to serve us and was super fast with the wine refills which made for a lovely Saturday dinner. Looking forward to future visits read more

Disinterested service. Mediocre, overpriced food. Clean atmosphere. It's seems like this place wants to be good but for the amount of staff they had on, missing the mark entirely. Perhaps gossip with the bartender after you've checked tables. Or don't bring entrees and salad at the same time. Or figure out your pricing so the customers don't feel gouged. read more

This is a nice restaurant with a nice outdoor seating area. I was fortunate enough to go on a night where they had a live singer who was cool and interactive. I had the pesto chicken with pasta and it tasted really good. The service was not super quick, but I was in no rush to go anywhere. read more

Amazing first time experience, everything was amazing and the waiter, Julio was super friendly and patient as well as very polite and helpful. He ensured that we had a good first time and we will definitely be returning . The food was great especially the mozzarella marinera that he recommended was a 10/10 house made perfection, and the ambience was super as well. Highly recommended this place to try quality Italian food and enjoy the experience with the super friendly staff as well ! read more

I really enjoyed the pizza here. The salad is a bit pricey for the amount they give. I was a bit shocked on how small it was. But the crust on the pizza was amazing. Probably one of the better pizzas I have eaten. They don't put alot of toppings but it was enough and I felt the crust made up for it! Lol read more

Food is as delicious! Ambiance was perfect for a Sunday afternoon after the pirate park near by.

Had dinner tonight and was very disappointed. We were not greeted finally seated ourselves. Ordered antipasto and pizza. Salad came and we had to ask for plates . Salad had no taste. Pizza ce and bit greasy..had again to ask for plates. Never was asked to refill drinks. Had to ask for check a few times. Even the owner who is usually friendly...seemed disinterested. We will not be back. read more

I have known the place for 40 years. The Italian owners were old school and the food was fantastice, absolutely the best. The wife was kinda crabby but everyone else was super. It then moved and the new owners, took over and the place used canned mushrooms on the pizza and the pasta was mushy. How can you make mushy pasta? Anyway I kept trying for years and I finally gave up. I thought I would try the new owners and WOW, WOW, WOW!. I had the lasagna and it was the best! I tried the spaghetti and it was also high quality. The staff is very friendly and the new owner is a treasure. If you go on the days for the specaisl you really get your moneys worth. I intend to take my staff and friends because it is so good. I look forward to trying their pizza next time. read more

I ordered a pepperoni and mushroom pizza through grub hub, and when it arrived I was astonished to see that there were a few slivered mushrooms strewn about. I am talking maybe 6 little thin slivered mushrooms, not even full thickness. I was so insulted that I paid $1.75 to add those. The pepperoni was also very sparsely added as if they were trying to save money by skimping on toppings. I paid extra for that as well. For the price, it should have been loaded with toppings. I will stick with Frantone's in Cerritos. They know how to load a pizza and give people their money's worth. Such a shame!! They used to be so much better. read more

Food and Service,I used to love this place,I ordered on mother's day the food was not as usual. Wings were cold and dry,salads were all lettuce and the chicken parm had hardly any sauce,all noodles.I messaged,they said at my convenience to call when I wanted my order replacement. I called at my convenience which was last wensday. I got a rude person's reply. She said just call Edith. No thank you to Riccis. read more

Honestly, I miss the original owners so much. The vibe is totally different now, and the food just isn't hitting the spot anymore. I won't be coming back, especially since they changed my favorite menu items like the chicken parm, mozzarella marinara and the lemon chicken soup. They really tried fixing something that wasn't broken. read more

We came in on a Wednesday night after seeing a social media post about Ricci's. We shared a large pizza and the lasagna since it was the Wednesday special.

Exceptional service and ambiance. Food was fresh and the waitress was attentive to our needs. It was a welcoming first experience and one that won't be our last as locals in the area. My wife ordered a massive calzone and I ordered the braised short rib with pesto pasta. Both had excellent flavor, clearly made with natural ingredients. Will be back! read more

My boyfriend and I were craving some pasta and found this cool little spot near our house, we were so happy and excited when we saw how much food was on the plates. The portions were epic, and the price was even better for how much we got and the taste. I can't remember our waitress' name but omg she was an angel. She was so attentive and very welcoming, she suggested the calzones and we tried it, we were not disappointed.

Ricci's Italian Restaurant - Dodger game is on. That's a plus! - Pizza Near Me - Bellflower, California

We paid $32 per person for a buffet style meal for 20 people, yet the portions were essentially child or appetizer size. Guests were given small plates and offered only ravioli, salad, fettuccine Alfredo, and pesto pasta. There was no protein included and only enough food to fill those small plates once. Everyone was still hungry, and we ultimately had to order pizzas to supplement the meal. To make matters worse, we were told we needed to pay even more because they miscalculated the total and failed to properly include tax and gratuity. Overall, the experience was extremely disappointing. For that price, we could have received far more food and better value at BJ's. read more
