Il Riccio

A favorite neighborhood restaurant for those in the know. Not only is the food good but the people-watching is terrific. Warm, friendly staff welcome locals like Henry Kissinger, Ralph Lauren, and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg plus assorted Upper East Side beauties.

Specializing in the fabulous flavors of the Amalfi coast, selections include osso bucco, penne pasta as well as more exotic fare like roasted lamb garnished with balsamic vinegar and rosemary.

Delectable home made desserts along with an extensive wine list. Soft hand-painted ochre colored walls, sensually sweet background music and attentive service provide a memorable dining experience at this distinctively chic restaurant.
