    Really good place for some Italian style eats. I’m a big fan of their Panzerottis and Wings. Panzos are big and have some nice topping options. We tried their wings this time and I was pretty impressed as they were a really good size, cooked very well and their sauces tasted amazing too. Great place to try out if you’re in that area.

    Legit the worst Italian food I have ever had in the heart of Woodbridge. What a shame. Salads were brutal. No proper ratio of dressing. The marinara sauce for the rice balls were sweet, I think they legit used a jar of Ragu sauce. The only decent thing was their olives! Never ever again will I come back. Terrible food.

    Loaded gooey pizza with fresh quality ingredients. Nice 'pizza shop' but unique sit down experience. Great fast service. Will come back.

    Great find. Food was wicked. Prices are good too. Highly recommend a stop, you won’t be disappointed. Not far from Canada’s Wonderland and shopping.

    Ricci's is a local favourite in Vaughan that serves up decent Italian food in a fast and casual manner. Their restaurant sign is quite flamboyant but backed up by delicious sandwiches, pizzas, panzerotti, pastas, and even rice balls. I had the veal sandwich, which is absolutely massive - it practically filled up my entire dinner plate hot out of the wrapper. I was impressed with the four layers of seasoned veal that they managed to stuff between the buns. Their spice level is quite bearable so you can even ask for extra hot. I probably shouldn't have ordered more but couldn't resist trying their rice ball, which was nicely marinated in tomato sauce and filled with cheesy goodness. The meal and a half was reasonably priced. I went back for the fried panzerotti which was indeed next level. As for the pastas? Cooked to al dente, the portion sizes were huge but the sauces were a little bland. I like the no nonsense setup, the place has either takeout or dine-in both ordered from the counter and without too much service. If I wanted service, I wouldn't be here in the first place. They're pretty fast with the food but to avoid wait, it's a good idea to call early for takeout.

    I'm not a huge fan of thick pizzas, but this one was quite good. We got the pepperoni and it was perfectly salty and the doll was nice and chewy and we also got some rigatoni pasta which was good as well. The tomato sauce is quite unique as it doesn't quite taste like pasta sauce, but it taste more like a tomato soup, which sounds kind of weird, but it was very tasty and almost addicting. The service style is you walk up to the counter to order and if you'd like to dine in, you can find a seat and they will find you and serve you your food. It took maybe 10 minutes for the food to come out and overall the service was quite good. But keep in mind this is a casual dining environment and the food is Alsco quite casual.

    We were looking for a new pizza place to try on our way back into the city & Google allowed us to find Ricci's. The reviews were good & the photos helped. We got a pepperoni with extra cheese, 2lbs of Medium Wings & a rice ball. The pizza was absolutely amazing, the crust was nice & soft, not dense, airy, but a nice chewy crust. The sauce is great, not too over powering & they don't put too much on. The cheese was amazing! The wings had great flavour, nice & saucy, large wings. The rice ball was good, we dis ask for meat sauce but only got tomato sauce. For my person liking I would prefer less sauce, it made the rice ball a little soggy, but the flavour was good. Service was quick, staff was friendly. They definitely need a bigger spot, it was packed & I'm sure it packed a majority of the time. We were able to get a seat outside. Definitely recommend, and we will be back forsure!

    I absolutely love their panzo’s! Such a good value for the price and they are ginormous! We placed a large order for my family over the weekend and picked up from the store. The experience was quick and efficient. We got hone and realized we were missing a few items and called in. The employee was very apologetic and even offered to have the rest of the order delivered. Great customer service!

    Had a panzo, solid 8.5/10 they didn't Sautee the mushroom.andnthe green pepper before putting in the panzo which causes the panzo to become runny with water. I thought they would know better. The marinara sauce was cooked perfect not acidic at all. Got a seafood penne with a tomato based sauce. Penne was cooked properly sauce was watery could of thickened it up using some starch or some parm or a bit of cream to enhance the texture. The seafood mix was terrible mussels tasted old had to have been frozen mix with the tiniest shrimp over seen in my life( seriously I've never seen shrimp so small) Was expecting a homemade authentic meal as told by others but I left feeling like I just ate at the equivalent of an Italian McDonald's. To be fair my standards for Italian food is extremely high, being that most of my family members are chefs... but still.

    This is a very, very, very good Italian restaurant. Probably the best pizza and panzerotti in Southern Ontario. Very reasonably priced and free parking too. There's a reason this place is always busy. Great food, great service, reasonably priced. What more can you ask for?

    Well known place so I had high expectations. Good, not groundbreaking. Overall, decent prices and portions, food wasn’t anything special. Pasta was pretty good but I didn’t see the point of paying $4 to upgrade the sauce. Rice ball was not my favourite. Can’t go wrong with pizza or a hot sandwich though.

    The Panzerotti here is To Die For 😍 we've taken so many people here and it'd definitely been a popular favorite! (Tip: get the Meat Sauce with your panzo). Ooh and their wings are also amazinngggg!! Their customer service is exceptional and they seem to have a good system going with their patio space. Great food, great people...what more can you ask for?? I always recommend Riccis and am very happy they have survived the pandemic, as many great spots had to close down permanently. All the best and keep it up Riccis staff!!!

    What an amazing find. Ricci, just like the reviews have said, is the home of Toronto's/Vaughan's best panzerottis and sandwiches. Note.. The panzerottis are massive!! One can be shared and make sure you order the meat sauce. For take out, order ahead to not wait long. Will definitely be back to this restaurant. Dine in option is allowed outside under a tent

    An iconic local staple! Everyone from Woodbridge knows Ricci’s, and it’s obvious why they do. The food is always amazing and fresh, atmosphere is lively but also quaint. Their pastas are a personal favourite of mine, being able to customize which pasta you’d like for which sauce.

    Best panzos around! This is my favourite pizza place for takeout. Staff are usually pretty friendly, but the food is always amazing. I’ve been coming here for decades and never once been disappointed with the quality. Overall recommended for some of the best pizza around. Parking in front is a bit limited, but plenty off to the sides.

    I’ve been coming to Ricci’s for many years. They’re usually pretty consistent in making a panzo but not today. Maybe it was a one off experience but the panzo was extremely dry. As you can see, almost no sauce inside and an excessive amount of cheese. It also became very soggy on the 7 minute drive home which also didn’t help but I can’t blame them for that.

    Came here on a Wednesday evening, it wasn't very busy and we ordered our food from the cashier and they brought it to us. We had a pound of honey garlic wings, sphagetti carbonara and ravioli carbonara. The food was hot and fresh but on the salty side and portions were generous. The staff is friendly and you find your own seating. The staff will bring the food to you when it's ready. Would come back again!

    It's busy for good reason, this shouldn't deter you. They're great for pickup and take out. I've dined in both times. Spicy sausage sandwich is incredible. A savory sandwich dream! Decent size. Have a seat and be patient, they'll call your name and bring your food to you. It's busy because it's great!

    My family has enjoyed the pizza, pasta and panzos at Ricci’s for years but our recent visit completely changed our opinion of this establishment. We arrived at 7:20 for dinner, excited for a family dinner out as we hadn’t had many due to Covid. We spoke to an employee who prompted myself and my 2 boys to find a table on the busy patio while my husband placed the order. The food finally arrived at 7:40, all packaged in to go containers despite my husband telling them that we were going to eat on the patio. Both mine and my son’s panzos were combined in a pizza box. I requested a separate plate and utensils since I planned to pour my sauce over my panzo. The girl actually refused to give them to me since it was 20 minutes to close. I assured her that 20 minutes was plenty of time to finish my meal but she said they didn’t want any dishes to wash so close to close so my family did not get our dinner out and we had to take our food home to eat. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced such shocking, ghetto behaviour at a restaurant before, refusing a customer a plate and utensils 20 minutes before close. The food was also just mediocre that night. You would think that in the midst of a pandemic would not be a good time to reduce the quality of your food and customer service. Ricci’s is rapidly going downhill. So sad.

    Literally was driving by when I saw this place. Had a craving for a panzerotti and it didn't disappoint. Opted for the fried option and the size was on another level. Fresh ingredients and incredibly delicious

  • 5/5 A. Fabian C. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food. I went there today and ordered the veal sandwich and the chicken parm. I had the veal and my wife had the parm. Both sandwiches were great ! I did not have any issues with the service and the wait was not too long. I would recommend this place to anyone

    My go to place for pasta. They are quick and they have a great attitude even when they are busy. Prices are reasonable for the amount of food you're given.

  • 5/5 Shumile M. 2 years ago on Google
    BEST PANZO & WINGS EVER Wings 9/10 are underrated, big and juicy wings for a good price and very flavourful Panzo 10/10 is hands down the best panzo I've ever had, perfect amount of cheese and the dough is AMAZING, and meat sauce that you can get alongside the panzo is really good. Chicken Alfredo Pasta 8/10 was really good too. Good creamy sauce and delicious pasta Highly recommend Riccis

    Great spot for some quick, tasty, Italian classics! Lots on the menu: pizza, panzerotti, and sandwiches are the main offerings. Place your order, find a seat, and they'll call out your name and bring your food. Ambience is nice, but it can get pretty busy! I got the panzerotti. It was wonderfully fried, cheesy, and stuffed with pepperoni. Just to note, on its own you can order the panzerotti and it comes with just cheese. Any additionally topping is a dollar, and sauce on the side is extra. But it's great!

  • 5/5 Heidi M. 1 year ago on Google
    Our go to place for panzo's and pizza! Our daughter swears by their pasta too but when there, I can't stray from my usual lol. It's always busy with a constant stream of customers but with good reason. It's worth the wait! The sauce... Oh the sauce... Order a big bowl of it because you'll go thru it pretty quick. We even order an extra bowl to go so that I can throw it on some fresh cooked pasta! What are you waiting for? Go and try it!

    Excellent food and great quality. Best pizza I've had in a long time. Pasta dishes are great too just a bit pricey and smaller portion, but yummy.

  • 5/5 Styvia T. 2 years ago on Google
    Love their pepperoni pizza. The dough is delicious. Best wings too!

  • 3/5 Francesca S. 2 years ago on Google
    I don’t know what happened to the food this evening! I ordered a veal sandwich, rice ball with sauce, and a salad. Will start with the positive first salad was fresh. But I was a little disappointed in the veal sandwich which was not fresh and the rice ball was really soggy and the sauce tasted a little acidic. I gotta say I was really disappointed because I was so looking forward to the taste that I am accustomed to.

    I have been ordering takeout from Ricci's for years now and they never fail to make it a great experience. The chicken parmesan sandwich is incredible. Large meat portions, well done sauce, melted cheese and oil soaked peppers - perfection. Their pastas and pizzas hit the spot. Another highlight is their chicken wings. No critique, even during the pandemic they had a well executed social distance "drive thru". One of my favourites - I always return sooner rather than later.
