Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often come for private birthday parties in the downstairs lounge, praising the staff who planned each event. Several describe 18th, 21st and 50th celebrations where the manager arranged the details, a DJ kept guests dancing, and custom messages appeared on the screens around the room. The space is called beautiful, with good lighting and a sound system, and one host says it felt intimate but not cramped for about 110 guests. Food draws strong praise from most, including the pizza, the desserts, a tiramisu one diner calls the best they have tried, and cocktails where the alcohol comes through. One diner says the food reminded them of Naples. The main criticism comes from one reviewer at a birthday dinner, who found the Lobster Spaghetti shell empty when opened and says several guests were unhappy with the chicken, salmon and mashed potatoes. That same reviewer still rated the service and private lounge highly. Hosts also mention a quote with no hidden surprises and a birthday name put up on the wall.

    “What a hidden gem 💎 The food is fantastic. My pizza was scrumptious and being a self titled Tiramisu connoisseur it's the best one I've tried. The vibe is cool and our waiter was fabulous. Made us all feel welcome and we had lots of fun dancing and interacting with the DJ”

    “I recently attended a birthday dinner at Ricco's and have mixed feelings about the experience. First of all, the service was absolutely exceptional. The staff were friendly, attentive, professional, and incredibly helpful throughout the evening. My friend had hired the private lounge downstairs for her birthday, and I have to say, the space is absolutely beautiful. The atmosphere, décor, and overall setup made it feel really special, and I would highly recommend the private hire lounge for celebrations and events. Unfortunately, the food was a major disappointment. I ordered the Grilled Stuffed Calamari and the Lobster Spaghetti. The lobster presentation looked impressive at first glance, but when I opened the shell, there was literally nothing inside. It honestly felt quite disrespectful given the price and expectations associated with the dish. I wasn't the only one left disappointed. Several guests at our table were unhappy with their meals as well. The chicken dishes, salmon, and mashed potatoes were all described as being below standard and lacking the quality we expected. Overall, Ricco's gets top marks for customer service, hospitality, and its stunning private event space. However, the food simply did not live up to the same standard. I would 100% recommend the private lounge for a special occasion, but based on this experience, the food needs significant improvement.”

    “Joint 18th birthday party with a Valentine’s Day theme. Stefano arranged everything and was on top of all the details. From our first meeting with him and touring the space, he was courteous, thorough and responsive. The quote given was accurate from day 1 - absolutely no hidden surprises. Stefano arranged everything seamlessly from booking their DJ and posting a custom message on the various screens around the room which gave the space a very festive vibe. Guests commented on how good the food was. We had about 110 guests and the space was the perfect size. It felt intimate, but not cramped. What set the experience apart was the staff. They were friendly, good natured and professional. Highly recommend.”
