We weren’t very adventurous with our restaurant
week reservations this year and with such a letdown for a start, we were
half minded about the remaining reservation. It has been ages since I
went to Riciotti and word has it they have undergone some form of a
revamp and are back with a tastier vengeance.
Mixed
antipasto with Chef’s polenta fries, asparagus wrapped with parma ham,
buffalo mozzarella, gnocco fritto with cold cuts and pecorino cheese,
baby spinach salad
Our
orders were mixed up and an eternity was all it took for our appetizers
to arrive – the whole time I wish I had bread to fill the pangs but
nothing was done. When it finally arrived, it looked worth the wait; it
was a huge platter enough to feed even four.
Everything was delicious, with specific mention to the fried bread that tasted just like ham chin peng without any flavouring and the spinach salad! We both loved this to bits.

Tasting portions of linguine al granchio, beef lasagna, homemade gnocchi gorgonzola
The
last attempt was mediocre but I was delighted to find pasta on their
restaurant week menu – at least I get a gauge of their pastas. Gnocchi
was too pasty and soft, lasagna lacking in flavor but the linguine was
so spot on with doneness and flavor!
Grilled Salmon and Pork Rib with mashed potato and garden salad
Bland salmon meets gamey pork rib, it was a letdown through and through with the few courses that were outstanding before this.
I wish for a molten lava cake that would flow more but all was good for this rich chocolatey delight!
