Taste the rich culture of Sicily. Sit back and let your tongue do the traveling with our authentic Italian/Sicilian recipes straight from the kitchens of our Sicilian grandmothers. We make it our mission to continually satisfy your specific needs when it comes to dining at our Sicilian pizzeria's. Our family owned and operated restaurants have something to offer everyone.

The Dentici family has been serving great food in Sarasota since 1989 when our family relocated from New Jersey. Rico's Pizzeria and Pasta House offers a relaxed casual atmosphere in multiple locations in Sarasota, St Armands and Lakewood Ranch/Bradenton, FL. Here at Rico's we pride ourselves in making handcrafted dishes from scratch with fresh vegetables, pasta, sauce and dough.
Services
Our dough is made fresh daily, crafted by hand, baked to perfection and tested for quality by experts! Start a great meal with one, two or three of your family's or friend's favorite Rico's appetizers! We prepare Hot or Cold Sandwiches full of flavor with your favorite cold cuts, fresh veggies, meatballs and sausages!
Ricos is known locally for having great pizza but did you know that they also have great gluten free pizza! We have tried gluten free pizzas from a variety of places and they always were a disappointment. Decided to try Rico's just to see and it was delicious! Crust is thin and guilt free! I was also very impressed with the owner/manager.

Pepperoni pizza was good, garlic knots were tasty and the white chocolate chip cheesecake with raspberry sauce was a nice finishing touch. Our server, Kayle, was exceptionally attentive to our needs, upbeat & friendly.

Love their homemade sauce! (Ask for extra on everything!) We order lots of different things here and have never been disappointed. Their chicken wings are particularly good. We also like that they serve hard alcohol so we can get rum and Cokes.

Friendly fast service and good New York style pizza. The only complaint I have is the dough needs salt. A great pizza with good ingredients can be ruined with a bland dough. As a born and raised New Yorker it's hard for me to give pizza a 5 star rating, but overall enjoyable experience!

I’ve eaten here 3 times. Pizza would be great if they cooked the crust longer. 2 of the 3 times I asked for extra crispy. All 3 times it was a disappointment. Under the toppings crust is droopy, uncooked and lacking flavor. Who likes a soggy pizzzzzzza?!?!? Ordered some pasta dish wish was tasted ok. But the bread they give was like a Lightning hockey puck. Too bad because the pizza could be great if attention to cooking pizza was paid attention too. Having a crispy crust is half the enjoyment of a pizza. Good luck all-

Love their food, but I will not order from them any longer. They have forgotten about our entire delivery order, even after calling once and them saying it was on the way. I asked to speak to a mgr. which was denied and they refused to make any ammemds for their 2 hr. mistake. On a previous delivery the driver told me they didn't carry cash to give change, which I later found out was a lie. Leaving him more of a tip than the price of the meal itself. Very disappointed in their customer service, especially because they offered no apology or refund or offer to rectify the issues. For a small home

This place had gross ravioli pasta. When we told them that the sauce was to sweet we got told that's how it's made and they have made it that way for 25 years. Well not everyone can handle sweet sauce and something could have been done to please the customer. I would have had a different sauce if offered. We won't be back. My point was when I said we didn't like it I wasn't offended something else to eat. So no I won't be back and the staff member was also rude. Some people can't handle sweet sauce like a diabetic person for example. But no worries because of the rude staff and poor customer service

Was visiting the area with my friends and we had an excellent experience! The food was extremely reasonable, especially for us broke college students. We ordered appetizers that were all very yummy and came out really fast. Everyone was very pleased with their food. The pizza and all the pasta we ordered was especially delicious. The inside of the restaurant was also very clean and tidy. Will definitely come back next time I am in the area.

As visitors to Florida I always make it a point to eat at local establishments. Ricos did not disappoint. We ordered a basic cheese pizza and it was great. The sauce they use was great. The slices were massive. Reminded me of being back in NYC.

First time, was drawn in because of the gluten pizza crust. It was amazing, it was delicious. Family also ordered wings, they were very good and husband got spicy chicken sub with jalapeños and peppers. He said it was great! The ravioli was very good also! All our items were hot and extremely fresh. Congratulations to your cooks! They show pride when they are working so hard to provide a good quality entree to customers. Keep your head up! Earned my loyalty. Kudos to your staff!
