We were so fortunate to snag a table before Riccardo's completely filled up. Moments after we were seated, I overheard the staff indicate that they were already a full house. Granted this is Valentine's Day weekend, but I suspect that this is a regular Friday night at Riccardo's. Located in Betton Place, right in the heart of Tallahassee's Midtown, Riccardo's is a classic Italian family kind of joint. We walked in hungry and waddled out stuffed. We started our order with their famous "Secret Bread" and were also treated to their house bread with whipped garlic butter. No vampires will be of concern this evening. Hubby ordered a thin crust 14 in pizza with pepperoni and sausage. As good as their pizza is, it's always prudent to order extra for weekend leftovers. I'm not sure what ruler they use in their kitchen, but that was the biggest 14 in pie I've ever seen. Perfectly crispy edges complemented the sweet red sauce, cheese and toppings. We also ordered their secret bread with cheese. It was ooey gooey in the best way, and paired with their sauce, it was a bite of heaven. I ordered their classic Chicken Parm with a spaghetti side. I had to cry uncle before I finished the chicken. It was so much food. I watched the tables around us and everyone was equally enthralled with their own food. Every single table was full, as were many stomachs. Tucked away in the corner of Betton Place, Riccardo's is the BEST family Italian restaurant experience we've had in Tallahassee.

It was good to stop in and try them again. I brought my wife and son on this trip. We shared an order of the Philly fries. For my main course I had the footling Philly cheesesteak with onions, peppers, and mushrooms. For my cheese I had the American wit. It was all so good! The bread on the Philly really did it for me. It was so fresh and crisp. I would recommend this place to anyone in Tallahassee looking for a Philly cheesesteak.

The ambiance was cool. It's a sports bar. Small, but I could easily see myself watching a game in there. Now, the cheesesteak was good. I would probably get a sturdier cheese the next time. The cheese whiz was so liquidy that it was all over the wrapper. I usually like messy sandwiches, but this one couldn't stay together. Not even three bites in the whole thing ripped in half.The onion rings were disappointing. They were pretty dark and were soft and doughy when they cooled down. I barely ate one and won't order them again. I will try this spot again for the sandwich and maybe I'll try the fries next time.

I placed an online order for five large pizzas for my daughter's birthday. When I arrived to pick…read morethem up, I found Brickyard Pizza completely without power after a storm. Trees were down in the area, the lights were out, and the entire crew was working in the dark. Because the internet was down, they hadn't received any of the online orders, including mine. At that point, most places would have locked the doors, put up a sign, and called it a day. Instead, they apologized, explained what had happened, and told me the gas ovens still worked. They offered to make the entire order from scratch. The team stayed in a hot, non-air-conditioned building, cooking pizzas by flashlight and waiting for every customer who had placed an online order to arrive. They could have gone home. Instead, they chose to take care of their customers. The pizza was excellent, but what stood out was the character of the people working there. Flexible, resilient, and genuinely committed to doing the right thing despite difficult circumstances. That's the kind of business worth supporting. Five stars.

The Gryo meat must be something sliced and prepackaged as it had absolutely no flavor and was mushy. Costco sells better Gryo meat. No Feta on the Gryo was very odd.

Can't remember the servers name but she did a great job and had a good personality! I shall return! Side note. Some dude next to me ordered Mac and cheese bits and cut them with a fork because "their to hot." Just really hated to witness that.

This is a covid review of their "Breakfast Club."…read more With many of us only wanting to to take-out or curbside, Red Eye has us covered! They have partnered with Red Eye Cofee, a local coffee house, to offer a Breakfast Club. Each week they pick a different location to bring fresh cooked goodness and wonderful beverages to your door. Place your order by Wednesday and it will be delivered to your door on Friday. And if you are not in their neighborhood that they will be serving that week, have no fear: you can place an order to pick it up! We ordered the Hakuna Frittata filled with meat, some cinnamon rolls filled with bacon, and a jug of cold brew. It showed up right on time and they have amazing customer service: you can track them online via the link in email, and they will text/call you when they have delivered! Perfect! Everything is pre-cooked and just needs to be heated (20 min for frittata, 10 for cinnamon roll). And everything heated up perfectly...just like we were being served fresh from initial cooking. The frittata was amazing, and can easily serve 4. The cinnamon rolls can also serve 2 each (but you almost certainly want your own) and were warm and gooey. The coffee was the outstanding Red Eye cold brew. For a little over $30 we had breakfast delivered that will feed us for two mornings. I am so glad that they are doing this, and am happy to help 2, small local businesses.

To say service is terrible would be an understatement - its actually laughable to have to wait in line for 45 minutes only for the cashier to say they are out of most menu items once I finally got to the front of the line - mind you, these are sandwiches and sides that are served could be served at a little league baseball game. Just another joke "food" business that operates in Tallahassee. I guess anybody can do anything these days ay? Words of advice - go to 7/11 and you'd probably spend your money more wisely. Embarrassing on all accounts

Tally Mac Shack at 1851 was recently featured on the Food Network Guy Fiere show, Diners, Drive-ins…read moreand Dives. We really wanted to try this location after seeing the show. First concern, where to park? This restaurant is located on Florida State University's Tallahassee campus and parking is always a concern for us non-student, non-parking pass folks. We went on a Sunday, midday, and hopeed that students would still be sleeping late and that we'd find parking. Still a challenge, we ended up parking in CVS's store parking lot. To be fair, we went inside and bought some candy. But it is still a tow parking lot. Not sure when that might be enforced. It's a short walk to the 1851 building, which houses several counter service restaurants, including sushi, tacos, ice cream, pizza and Tally Mac Shack at 1851. Sunday is a good day to try this spot. The line was short and the service was swift and efficient. We ordered the Snortin Nortin, which is pulled pork, smoked peach BBQ sauce and tangy Carolina gold sauce on top of a bowl of mac and cheese. If you're used to Kraft mac and cheese, this is a smooth cheese sauce throughout the macaroni. Almost too much cheese sauce. The pulled pork and BBQ sauce is served in the right proportion. The other bowl we ordered was supposed to be something like a Cuban sandwich. The pork over mac and cheese was fine, but the haphazard way the mustard was added, was not visually appealing, and was there supposed to be some chopped pickles on top? Not sure about that. Again, the cheese sauce was a bit too much for my dining companion. The price may be a little high. Overall, we were filled and had some left over. I think the appearance on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives encouraged us, but I'm not sure we'd return for same. There is a cute ice cream place in the next counter, and a pizza place we might like to try if we can figure out some better parking.

We got the same exact mac n cheese bites that Guy ordered and they were nothing alike in the slightest. There was little to no mac n cheese at all in the Tiki marsala bite, and all you could taste was the breading. They were also extremely expensive and not worth the money. Luckily on my way home I found a homeless man who was happy to take them. My friend and I both spent $20 each and left unsatisfied. The buffalo chicken mac n cheese was decent with a good amount of food. I suggest y'all go somewhere else if you want mac.
