Richie's Italian Bistro At Riverwalk

Unofficially, on behalf of all Italians, Richie's hits the mark. We discovered this location when our company rented the venue for a Christmas party. My wife and I returned a few days later. The meatballs *chefs kiss*. The pizza, pepperoni rolls, zeppoli, and cannolis were all delicious. Their friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere surprised us. The food reminded me of my grandmother's cooking.

If you want good authentic Italian food, Richie's is the place to go. Richie is a fellow New Yorker and I've had a tough time finding good NY pizza since moving here in 1993. The calamari is fantastic, and you must try the cheese curds... They are delicious! The pizza brings back the taste of home in NY. The service is always great and all of the food I have had so far is phenomenal, including the white pizza. Richies has become my most favorite place to eat for my mother and I. If I ask her where she wants to go, she says Richie's! I highly recommend this place! A++++

From the time we stepped in everything was great. The food ,service and atmosphere. I tell run to this place.Have to say the Alfredo was the best I've ever had. Most places you go to it's watery this was just the creamiest Alfredo the way it's supposed to be. Thank you we will definitely be back.

The food was great! No complaints there! Our waitress was not very friendly. We had a service dog and she immediately took us outside without even asking if we wanted to eat outside (and there was hardly anybody eating inside). She just came across as really snarky? the entire time. Like she was judging me for wanting sugar to go in my sweet tea and was weird about me asking for sauce to dip the garlic knots in - petty things like that. I don’t know, maybe we caught her on a bad day and it had nothing to do with us, but she was not pleasant. The lasagna was great and I really loved that balsamic fig salad dressing!

Nice place for real good Italian food locally. Nice friendly service, great selection of drinks from the bar (many types of martinis) and a casual atmosphere. The cannoli martini was amazing! (Thanks, Sharli!) The lasagne was both meaty and creamy, a melt-in-your-mouth meal! Stopping in next time to try their Sicilian pizza. If you’re in the Riverwalk area, you need to stop in and try it out! Update - Just went back for a Sicilian pizza and it did not disappoint! Crust was perfectly tall and airy with nice crisp to the bottom, like it should be! The Richie Pepperoni came with pepperoni, shredded Italian sausage and dollops of ricotta cheese. Excellent combination. Ashley, our waitress was terrific! Always smiling and happy to serve us, she even brought out the to-go box on cue without us having to ask. There are 9 nice sized square pieces in that square pizza, enough for a meal for 2 and to have some back at the home. Stop in and ask for Ashley when that Italian craving hits you next time!! Wish y’all many good years at Riverwalk!

My first time trying Richie'. The pizza slices while not huge, had very good flavor. I think the crust needs a bit more bite, or crunch but my son thought differently. The pepperoni rolls were good, but the sauce that came with it was delicious. Just make sure it's hot for to go orders. Next try will be the Chicken Parm. The girl who took my order over the phone was confident and spoke clearly. My husband decided to pick up and everything went well.
