Riccardo Michi comes from a restaurant Family in Milan established since 1943 called Girarrosto, one of the first Tuscan restaurants in town and still operating.

After moving to the US, Riccardo opened Sonny Bono, IL Giardino Ristorante and Madeo Ristorante in Beverly Hills. In 1987 he helped his cousin Roberto Ruggeri open the first Bice restaurant in New York City. Since then, he has worked in the opening of many of the restaurants in the group. In 2002 Riccardo moved to Chicago with his wife Veronica to be the executive chef of Bice on Ontario.

Finally Riccardo and Veronica, also a chef, decided to open their own place and in 2006 called Riccardo Trattoria. Considered by many to be the top Italian restaurant in town, receiving the Bib Gourmand from Michelin in 2011, 2012 and 2013.

Now, Riccardo and Veronica have opened Riccardo Enoteca, right across the street from Riccardo Trattoria on Clark.

    This is a cozy Italian restaurant with authentic pasta dishes. Our main dishes, short rib pasta & rigatoni, were delicious. The flower zucchini was not very good… too much bread, barely any zucchini etc. The service was great & from the minute you walk in, you feel welcomed.

    As always, Riccardo's Enoteca was awesome. The food, the ambiance, and the service were all great. We had arugula salad with artichokes, polpettine, a pizza with pear, gorgonzola and walnuts, and a veal parmigiana. Everything was delicious, but I specifically recommend trying polpettine and the pear, gorgonzola and walnuts pizza. They are both very tasty and unique to this location.
