About us

This Lafayette Square restaurant became an anchor in a growing neighborhood. Closing in 2014 left a void in everyone's hearts and stomachs. Current owners Rich Dunnavant and Tim Adams (Mark's son) saw a vision of another growing neighborhood called the Near North Riverfront opening in July of 2023. While the core of the old Ricardo's menu remains the same, Tim's culinary skills have brought to the new Riccardo's a taste of authentic Italian cuisine!
