For three decades the name Riccio has been synonymous with fine dining in the desert. Richard and Patricia Riccio set the bar for outstanding Italian cuisine 40 years ago when they opened the original Riccio’s in uptown Palm Springs. Two of their sons, eager to carry on the family tradition, last spring unveiled Riccio’s Steak and Seafood with a new menu concept in a higher profile location downtown. Service and personal attention have been the Riccio’s hallmark and they pledge to continue this tradition.

For the casual diner, Riccio’s offers a relaxed patio presentation for watching downtown Palm Springs unfold while sampling their intriguing, seasonally changing menu. Riccio’s bar faces lively Palm Canyon Drive, and picture windows frame a sculptural fountain.

The desert's top steak and seafood restaurant. Come taste why over 40 years of customers keep coming back to this downtown landmark.

Everything was great they just need more assistant when it comes to the alcohol beverages. I had to send mines back twice because each time you can you couldn’t taste any liquor at all. I just taste very sweet and full of juice and sugar, and then my husband sent his back as well and he’s not even a big drinker so if he sends his drink back then that says a lot, but other than that overall the food was so great and awesome. My husband is very picky when it comes to food and he loved his meal. My food was great as well nice portion for the cost. Overall outside experience was nice to have the heaters out for the cold weather so it made it very nice owner of the restaurant was there he was very nice as well our waitress. She was also nice as well. The busser gentleman was also nice as well so overall service was great. They just need more help when it comes to making drinks other than that nothing to complain about.

It was a cold windy night. We were seated outside with heaters , one of which did not work. When we asked if we could move to an inside table, of which there were many unoccupied at 4:30 pm, they said they could not accommodate us. We were done dining by 5pm.
