I recently dined at ritorno and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a beautifully decorated interior that made us feel right at home. The ambient lighting and tasteful decor added to the overall charm, making it a perfect spot for both casual meals and special occasions. Our waiter, David, was exceptional. From the moment we were seated, he was attentive and incredibly helpful. David took the time to explain the menu and offered excellent recommendations, ensuring that we had the best dining experience possible. His friendly demeanor and professional service truly stood out, making our visit even more enjoyable. The food was absolutely delicious, with each dish thoughtfully prepared and bursting with flavor. It's clear that the chefs put a lot of care into their craft, and the quality of the ingredients was evident in every bite. Overall, ritorno exceeded my expectations in every way. The combination of a great atmosphere, outstanding service from David, and mouthwatering food makes this a must-visit restaurant. I can't wait to return and try more of their amazing dishes

We hosted a private event at Ritorno recently and were mesmerized by the experience. Julia and the staff were incredibly accommodating and friendly. The restaurant catered to dietary restrictions well and the food was delightful. The Nonna Wall is a beautiful touch and we would definitely return for a private function or a simple night out. Thank you for a wonderful time!

Went on a Friday with My son and was served by David. He was lovely and took such good care of us. Ordered calamari to start, was very tender and delicious. Had the spaghetti pescatora and My son had shrimp Alfredo. Both were amazing with generous portion sizes. To finish I ordered an affogato for dessert which was perfect. I would highly recommend going and will definitely be returning.

This is the BEST homemade Italian I have ever had. The atmosphere is very inviting. Great for the family but also a wonderful date night. Julie, was so helpful and friendly. I would come back on the regular. I’m so sad I don’t live around here. If you do...you need to make it your regular stop. I hear specials change weekly... hint, hint.

Good environment and staff are nice. The food is delicious, fresh, generous portions and fairly priced. The owner came to talk to us, it’s a very pleasant environment. I’d say, the first impression makes a huge difference. Sometimes, people’s welcoming behaviour can make people come back and I’m definitely going back.

Ritorno is our favorite neighborhood restaurant—we make it a point to come almost every week. The food is consistently excellent, and the service is always top-notch. A special shoutout to Dave, who treats us like family and goes above and beyond to make sure we’re well taken care of. Honestly, if Dave isn’t here, we all feel the difference! A big thank you to the entire team, and to Julia as well—it's always a pleasure when she’s in and stops by the table to say hello. You all make every visit a wonderful experience! PS— The salmon dish on the menu is my favorite and one of the very best I’ve had!
