Il Riccio Cape May

This was hands down one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had in Cape May, honestly, anywhere. Il Riccio deserves every ounce of praise and then some. The food was insane. So fresh, so flavorful, and beautifully executed. Every bite felt intentional. This place truly deserves a Michelin star. And honestly? The pricing is more than reasonable for the quality. For this level of craftsmanship, freshness, and execution, the value is exceptional. We started with the Burrata & Beets and the bread, which alone could’ve stolen the show. For dinner, I ordered the A5 Japanese Wagyu Beef Cacio & Pepe with 24K Risotto, and it was next-level—rich, perfectly balanced, and unforgettable. My fiancé ordered the Chilean Sea Bass e Scarola, and even though I don’t usually like seafood, it absolutel

We just enjoyed one of the best dining experiences we have ever had at Il Riccio Cape May. It was our anniversary, and the evening is a memory we will cherish. The food was outstanding from start to finish. We greatly appreciate the chef and kitchen staff that prepared everything. The dishes were beautiful, aromatic, and full of balanced and lovely flavors. The service was delightful and professional. Our waiter, Biagio, was exceptional. His attentiveness and knowledge of the dishes brought out the best of the menu. He was genuinely warm, and he made the entire evening feel special. An unforgettable experience all around. We are looking forward to our next visit to Il Riccio Cape May.

We decided to make a quick last minute visit to Cape May and decided to try a nice restaurant with my husband. Il Riccio didn’t disappoint. We had such a wonderful experience from the moment we walked in. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. Our waiter Biago was superb. He was very welcoming, informative, attentive and friendly. Nolan, who was not our server, stopped by and was very friendly and honest, helped us decide our meal choices. The food was delightful. We tried the Burrata for our appetizer. The main dishes were the lobster ravioli which was one of the specials and the nonna’s ragù pasta con braciole. We enjoyed every bite and appreciated all the staff for taking such a great care of us. We can’t wait to come back and try more delicious dishes. Thank you for giving us an out

If I could give 10 stars I would! Il Riccio provided an unforgettable experience for my husband and I. The restaurant is so beautiful and comfortable inside. The staff were so welcoming and attentive for the entire dinner. The owner checked in on us throughout as well and he was so helpful in explaining the dishes. And funny! We really enjoyed chatting with him. Most importantly though, the food was incredible. I will be dreaming about the risotto until I can have it again. All of our plates were empty after each course. Don’t forget to get dessert, it’s worth it! We cannot wait to visit again the next time we are in Cape May! Such a great experience.

Really nice. Sea bass with escarole was perfect. The braciole is just like Grandma’s. My pasta could have been pulled out 60 sec sooner but it wasn’t mush. Lobster ravioli with the claw meat on the side was divine. Bring wine, the owner knows his wine though and will discuss your choices. They were accommodating when we brought in extra people (despite calling the day before.) A little pricey but I really don’t know prices in Cape May.
