Read moreToday, Sunday, my husband and I decided to have lunch at Da Riccardo Restaurante Italiano, and it was a delightful experience from start to finish. We opted for lunch and were in for a treat!
We both ordered pizzas, and I have to say they were some of the best we've had in a long time. The thin crust was perfectly crispy, and the toppings were just the right amount to let the flavors shine through. It truly felt like a slice of Italy right here in Alicante.
But the real surprise came when we decided to indulge in some dessert. The cheesecake was a revelation! It was thick, creamy, and incredibly dense, unlike any other we've tried in Spain. It's not every day you find a cheesecake that satisfies your craving.
The ambiance at Da Riccardo was warm and inviting, and thanks to Martin and Diana, who were very friendly and attentive, making our lunch even more enjoyable. This restaurant is a hidden gem for lovers of Italian cuisine, and I can't recommend it enough. We left with full stomachs and smiles on our faces. We'll definitely be returning for more...
Read moreThis lowkey restaurant off the side street of Alicante is a must see. With a friendly “family style” feel where you can see the abuela cooking up all your meals through a hole in the wall and it really showed in the cooking.
The food was very diversified, offering a wide selection of appetisers, pastas in various sauces toppings, and styles of pasta, calzones and pizzas. We got the walnut pasta and the carbonara and I was stuffed after as the portion sizes were very good.
With all that considered, we still had to have room for their authentic tiramisu which was to die for.
With a starter, 2 pasta dishes, a glass of wine each and the tiramisu only coming to €43 euros it is a bargain for what you get. Would highly recommend if you’re craving pasta or any authentic Italian food as it does not disappoint.
I would suggest knowing a little bit of Spanish as with any authentic food places they do not accommodate for tourists so try your best but I’m sure you can get the...
