"We celebrated my sister’s 83rd birthday at Ricardo’s on June 19, 2024. It was excellent. We’ve had very interesting appetizers: meatballs stuffed with ricotta cheese, shrimp cooked in a limocello reduction and sun-dried tomatoes, and the portobello mushroom. We shared those among the six of us and enjoyed all of them. My sister and I both ordered the lasagna because we just wanted something homey. It was so delicious. My niece ordered the mushroom risotto, and because she has special dietary restrictions, the waitstaff made very certain that there was nothing provided to her that she could not eat. When our server discovered there was something in an appetizer that would trigger her allergies, he came to the table and explained that she could not have that dish. That was so thoughtful. At the end, they surprised my sister with a tiramisu happy birthday cake. It was a delightful evening. I would recommend Ricardo‘s to anyone who wants an authentic Italian North End experience in Boston. "
