Riccardos Italian PizzaRiccardo’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.
