Riccio's Steak & Seafood

Riccio's Steak & Seafood

by Mitchell Sussman

If you are looking for a dining experience in Palm Springs and are a fan of steak and seafood, let me suggest that you visit Riccio's in downtown Palm Springs. Riccio's is a well known and long standing establishment with a 40 year hsitory, where the owners make it a point to be a part of their guests experience as well as bring a family atmosphere and treat everyone with the highest of customer service. The name of this place is called Riccio's Steak & Seafood and what began 29 years ago with an Italian restaurant in uptown Palm Springs has bloomed into a savory experience of steak, seafood and Italian cuisine that is a most stop for both locals and visitors alike.

Riccio's is centrally located on Palm Canyon Drive in the downtown section of Palm Springs. Here you will find a warm and casual vibe that made me feel relaxed. The laid back patio presentation brought elegance and sophistication with warm Tuscan colors. It gave me the option to partake in the cool breeze on a summer night, and take in the night activity.

With large picture windows that overlook the beautiful sculptural fountain in downtown Palm Springs, I was able to take a seat at the bar and share a word with one of the friendly bartenders. There I was able to sip on a Bellini. At the same time I was introduced to the Lobster martini, a chilled lobster appetizer that is one of the house specialties.

Breaking the mold from the traditional steak and seafood fare, Riccio's offers a variety of menu options that change with the seasons. For lunch there is the Spanish Paella that comes equipped with seafood and sausage to give it that right taste. This approachable place that is equipped with a full bar and provides group & catering services. The main course had a plethora of choices to choose from. I was advised the most popular are the juicy Cowboy Steak or the Milk-fed Veal as well as the Baby Rack of Lamb. The Baked Shrimp Scampi leaves little to be desired, sauted in lemon, butter and garlic.

In addition to steak and seafood, if you're in the mood for pasta, ask the chef and owner Danny Riccio to make a penne pasta dish in a light garlic sauce with peppers and onions. My favorite.

If you are frequent diner, you will appreciate the ample portion size along with the great flavor and special care that each dish is prepared with. The aromas rose from the plates and bowls and grabbed my senses and wouldn't let go.

If you are like me a sweet tooth, there is nothing like the Bread Pudding or the Classic Cannoli. All made in house, they will have you licking you licking your fingers.

This venerable establishment is owned by brothers Richard and Danny Riccio. Together they have put together a wonderful menu. Riccio's is an experience worth taking and a most stop on your next Palm Springs vacation.
