About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
Riccardo Michi comes from a restaurant Family in Milan established since 1943 called Girarrosto, one of the first Tuscan restaurants in town and still operating.

After moving to the US, Riccardo opened Sonny Bono, IL Giardino Ristorante and Madeo Ristorante in Beverly Hills. In 1987 he helped his cousin Roberto Ruggeri open the first Bice restaurant in New York City. Since then, he has worked in the opening of many of the restaurants in the group. In 2002 Riccardo moved to Chicago with his wife Veronica to be the executive chef of Bice on Ontario.

Finally Riccardo and Veronica, also a chef, decided to open their own place and in 2006 called Riccardo Trattoria. Considered by many to be the top Italian restaurant in town, receiving the Bib Gourmand from Michelin in 2011, 2012 and 2013.

Now, Riccardo and Veronica have opened Riccardo Enoteca, right across the street from Riccardo Trattoria on Clark.

    This place always delivers a great experience! The food is prepared just right and you can't really go wrong with any of the selections. The pizza and salads are great and I always want more room for pasta. A great hidden gem and not so crazy like some other places in the area, a great relaxing atmosphere.

    We had a very nice time and meals at RE. It’s a small space but very well utilized. The salmon, branzino, and fettuccine bolognese were all delicious and we enjoyed our drinks too. Highly recommend!

    One of our neighborhood favorites. Service is excellent, attentive and not rushed. Two students from Kendall Culinary joined us. They enjoyed the quality and presentation of each dish. The prosciutto and burrata appetizer, the orecchiette pasta and the branzino special were particularly good.
