Riccardo Trattoria is a Northern Italian restaurant at 2119 N. Clark St. in Lincoln Park, between Dickens and Webster avenues and next door to Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder Co. It describes itself as a casual, traditional osteria.
What it’s known for
Riccardo Michi comes from a Milan restaurant family whose Girarrosto, established in 1943, the restaurant describes as one of Milan’s first Tuscan restaurants and still in operation. The menu is Italian country food built on regional ingredients. Dishes named on the official site include truffle burrata with prosciutto, a milk-fed veal chop and veal chop with saffron risotto; reviewers quoted there also mention tripe Florentine, branzino and desserts.
The Infatuation’s Lincoln Park guide (July 2026) calls it a fit for low-key special occasions or a nicer weeknight dinner, with the advice to “get any kind of pasta.” The wine list focuses on Italian bottles.
