We thought it would be great to share a quick comment from one of our past customers who we remember fondly.

Thank You Mary, we appreciate your thoughts….

1970’s & 80’s

I grew up in Country Lakes.  I used to walk to the Wawa and your restaurant all
of the time.  My first video game was played there and I think it was Galaga.

I also played the juke box and pin ball machines often.  I am now 43 years old and
reside in Medina Ohio.  I have lived in Ohio for over 20 years now and often
tell my Ohio family about your restaurant and the fond memories I had there.

Your pizza by far is the best pizza I have ever had!!!!!  I have not been able
to find any pizza like it since and I miss it!

Any chance you can ship a fresh pizza????  Not likely I’m sure, but I wanted to
share with you how much I enjoyed your restaurant growing up!

Regards –

Riccardo’s Italian Restaurant began in 1974 by Salvatore Russo, who originally emigrated from Palermo, Sicily.  My name is Vito Russo, his Son and current chef and owner.

Our shared love of food and cooking after 36 years has propelled Riccardo’s into a very successful local restaurant where, to this day, we still greet our customers with a smile.

It is with great pride; yet humbleness, that I have the opportunity to share with you my story of Riccardo’s Restaurant.  I want our story to be forthright, truthful and as humble as the man that opened its doors, Salvatore, my Father.  It’s a story that comes from my heart and one that I’ve managed to put together the best I can from my some of my fondest and not so fondest memories that I’ve experienced while working with my father since I was a child of 13 years old. I will try to relay the the story the best I can from my recollections and my father’s memories.

This is our story……click here to read more.
