Robin's review of Riccardo's

I've been going to this Chelsea neigbourhood restaurant for years. It's serves mainly tuscan fare in a relaxed setting and it's good for children as long as they're relatively well behaved. The one thing you have to get used to here is the somewhat unpredictable service, which I suppose has something to do with a constantly changing staff. At least the managers stay around and they are always very friendly. Riccardo himself is often seen around chatting up the regulars. The menu offeres a whole range of different Tuscan options in both starter or main sizes. However, prices have been creeping up over the years and it's no longer the medium priced option it used to be. A recent visit with my family (2 adults + 3 children) cost just under a hundred pounds without any wine. They have a covered awning which juts out over the street, so it adds a light, brigh feel without actually being alfresco. Definitely worth a vist.
