Riccardo’s Restaurant was honored by Commissioner Rick Minor and his Chief of Staff, Jodi Wilkof, as they celebrated their milestone. Alicea and John, the owners of Riccardo’s, were grateful to Tina, John’s mother-in-law, and his 2 team members who have been with them since Riccardo’s became a part of their family.

Riccardo’s has been a Tallahassee tradition since 1999. Tina, who has no restaurant experience – except waiting tables at a truck stop as a teenager, took a chance and purchased Riccardo’s. In 2006, Alicea and John relocated from Tampa to Tallahassee to help run the restaurant and decided to make Tallahassee their permanent home and over time, purchased the restaurant from Tina. | Learn More
