Ricco's Italian Bistro

Pizza lovers won't be disappointed with Ricco's inventive combinations. The signature Garbage Truck Pizza layers rich Ricco’s marinara, provolone, mozzarella, savory pepperoni, and Italian sausage with fresh mushrooms, onions, and green peppers, baked to bubbling perfection. If you prefer something lighter and herbaceous, the Artie and Basil Pizza featuring pesto, grilled chicken, and artichokes offers a fresh, aromatic twist. The crust boasts a pleasing chew that some might find reminiscent of a prepped dough, but its combination with high-quality toppings more than compensates.

Beyond the entrees, Ricco's culinary prowess extends to starters and desserts that are just as compelling. The Bruschetta is praised for its fresh, vibrant toppings and expertly toasted bread, an appetizer that truly wakes up the palate. For a sweet conclusion, the Tiramisu and Cannoli embody the essence of Italian desserts—rich, creamy, and indulgently satisfying. Several diners have even hailed Ricco’s tiramisu as the best in the Kansas City area, making it a must-try.

The dining atmosphere at Ricco’s Italian Bistro exudes a warm, welcoming vibe, perfect for both intimate dinners and larger celebrations. Customers appreciate the cozy ambiance, especially the bar area, where a casual yet attentive experience awaits. The service, while noted to vary, often earns high marks for friendliness and attentiveness, with servers like Breven standing out by offering thoughtful recommendations like the delectable carrot cake.

From the first toasted piece of garlic bread to the last luscious forkful of Tuxedo Cake, Ricco's Italian Bistro delivers a flavorful, fresh dining experience that reveals both comfort and culinary finesse. Whether gathering with friends for a celebratory feast or savoring a quiet night out, this bistro’s combination of classic recipes and carefully curated modern touches crafts a meal and atmosphere worth savoring again and again.
