“Phenomenal meal at Ricci's. Faultless service and absolutely brilliant main courses. Great beer and cocktail selection. Only regret is not ordering a full three course, however will 100% be returning soon to correct that mistake.”

“Had such a fantastic time visiting this spot on Crossley Street. Everything from the presentation to the flavor was spot on. The pasta was cooked to perfection and looked beautiful with that golden egg yolk right on top. It is rare to find a place that pays this much attention to detail in every single dish. We will definitely be returning soon. It is a real gem in Halifax.”

“Wow another fantastic visit to Ricci’s Place. We were a party of 6 and we were met with the friendliest of welcomes. We have visited the restaurant on a few occasions so are familiar with the menu. They have a great selection of wines, …”

“Brilliant Italian restaurant in town centre. Superb food, polite and friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Always busy so I definitely recommend you book. We called in for breakfast which was delicious. I had smoked haddock rarebit £13 which had a beautifully cooked poached egg on top and my partner had crumpets Royale £14 which he throughly enjoyed. We've eaten there in the evening previously and the food is always great. Definitely a place to eat when visiting Halifax.”

“Came here for a work dinner, food was lovely and the ambience of the restaurant was lively and welcoming. We shared the tempura prawns and a special croquette to start, I then had a special carbonara, my colleagues had the burger, the burger was huge and portions overall were massive and delicious! ⭐️”
