While we really like their pizza. I recommend you NOT order the lasagna. You might as well order a bowl of melted mozzarella with a piece of lasagna noodle and marinera sauce. After 2 of us split one order, there was still 3/4 of the dish left that was inedible.

It's been a tradition to come to this pizza place with my father for over 10 years. Sad to say we will never be back again.Last two times we've visited the experience has been awful.The last time, we were served a pizza with several slices missing. When asked, they said they had accidentally dropped it and lost a few slices.I get that mistakes happen so we gave them another shot tonight.This time was an absolute disaster. Moments after we got in, they brought us someone else's order. We told them immediately and they got it to the table next to us. There were a total of 4 tables occupied. Shouldn't be very hard to keep track of with that little going on.Our pizza arrived BURNT to hell. Half of it had black crust and the onions were black as well. They apologized and told us it was on the house. Why not apologize and remake the pizza instead? You think it's ok to serve customers ruined food?They also completely forgot about the pasta we had ordered. When asked, they said they hadn't. Then came back 5 min later saying oops we thought that was part of a to go order and it's cold now. We'll remake it. At that point we told them not to bother.This place used to be amazing. Very few places serve breaded and fried eggplant out here. It was very comparable with the types of places you'd find all over New York and New Jersey. Now it's unfortunately been reduced to absolute garbage thanks to incompetent staff. RIP lil Ricci's.

Worst "Italian" food in the city.. Denver already has a low bar to begin with when it comes to food culture but this place makes an exception to be even less than mediocre, I mean how do you F up spaghetti and meatballs, skip this spot and get some REAL cuisine just about anywhere else and when some ski yuppie north face local that couldn't pick out Italy on a map suggests a restaurant skip the rec take it from a New Yorker this place is TRASH!

First time visiting and eating at this location. The food (pizza) was delicious, as were the garlic balls. The server was very informative and kind. We were there with my son's football team and she gave them a free order of cinnamon balls as a dessert to congratulate them on a good game. The restaurant was clean and full of light. I really enjoyed it and immediately began craving their pizza.

Best customer service with Rio!! The pizza is excellent and the atmosphere rocks. My Absolute Favorite NYC pizza for years....p.s. I didn't get the young lady's name who helped Rio. She is Amazing as well
We took a group of Girl Scouts for an overnight and chose Lil Riccis for proximity to our hotel. We were a larger group of 15 people. Saturday evening it wasn't overly crowded and we had no trouble grabbing tables. Initial service was friendly and fast.After ordering, it was a lengthy wait for the first pizza to arrive. We were told it was due to a large takeout order before us. 2nd pizza came, and then we had another very long wait. Only to find out they missed the service half of our order and had to re-enter it. It took over 2 hours to get all our food and we had to take half our order to go due to the time.The pizza was tasty and I would recommend it, but do not recommend this location for a larger group.

I give it 3 stars because the waiter was really nice and everyone working there look very friendly. But the food was not good at all. As I am writing this, I feel a little sick to my stomach. I ask for Garlic knots, cheese pizza and a calzone. The garlic knots were cold, the pizza that I ask to be light cheese light sausage. It had only cheese and it was like dry and over cook. The soda had no fizz. We waited 15 more minutes for the calzone to come out. After we were al finish eating. We end up taking my husband calzone to go. Wish it was sad, because my husband had just come from a 24 hour trip over seas and we stop there to eat before heading home, still a hour away. I pick this place for the good reviews, but I will never stop here again.

Every time I have eaten here I am happy! The one thing I didn’t care for was the pasta combination plate. It was supposed to come with Chicken parmigiana, stuffed shells, eggplant rollatine and a side of spaghetti with meatball We did not get the spaghetti and meatballs at all, and all the other dishes were honestly hard to distinguish between one another.The wings with house sauce are always delicious! Just the right amount of spice! Pizza is my favorite of everything! We ordered the all meat this time for my carnivore sister!

This place is fantastic. We’ve been ordering takeout and going for years. The food is awesome, but really the customer service and the fun, happy atomosphere is what keeps us coming back. We always laugh and talk with the entire staff.
