Ricca's Restauran in Teignbridge

Been twice, both times were positive. Lovely food, although pricey, it’s worth it. Always kept nicely and fairly quick service.

We visited Ricca’s on a Saturday evening, really looking forward to an authentic Italian experience. We had booked, were seated quickly and everything was ok at first. Our mains came out extremely quickly after ordering (5 minutes) and once they were put on our table service became non existent. We were not asked if we wanted any more drinks throughout our meal and when plates were finally cleared we weren’t asked if we wanted anything else or a dessert menu (we would have ordered both more drinks and desserts if offered!). I had the ‘linguine pesto Rossi’ which was bland and contained no more than 4 small pieces of chicken, along with 3 pieces of spinach and 2 sun dried tomatoes. My husband had the ‘Pollo alla Crema’ at £20 and this was extremely oily. He didn’t feel well for the rest of the evening. Nobody came to the table to offer us our bill so I had to go up to the bar to arrange to pay. I explained we had been waiting for over half an hour and was just met with a blank look from staff. They knocked the price of our two drinks from the bill but we ended up coming away £40 lighter, disappointed and feeling quite unwell! This is the first poor experience we have had in local restaurants and we will not be returning.

Myself and my mother came to Ricca's a couple a days ago and we loved it . Everything from the atmosphere, the cleanliness of the place to the attentiveness of the lovely waiters. The food was delicious and the closest to real Italian food I have had in this country . It was delicious. Reasonable price too. We had some breads with balsamic vinegar and oils, then a starter to share for two people which was so much we took the rest home and two big portions of fusilli al pesto and a couple of Peronis , it came to £50 . Will definitely come again.

My Wife & I visited due to us waiting for our daughter to arrive at Newton Abbot Train Station. We had a fantastic meal. My wife had a lovely chicken dish and I had the lamb on a bed of potatoes and leeks. I also asked the waiter if they also do tiramisu and not only did they do it but it was also home made and amazing. We are so impressed by this restaurant that my Wife and I brought our son a voucher for Christmas for him and his Girlfriend.

We were on holiday in the area and looking for an Italian for lunch. So glad we found Ricca's it really is very nice indeed. Very quiet but still a good atmosphere and the food was excellent. The Tuscan potatoes are superb!!! Great pasta and great service it's all you need. We will visit again when in the area.

Insane food and friendly staff, would highly recommend, traditional Italian food and large portions so good value for money. One of the best Italian food I’ve had have. Definitely be revisiting soon.

We found this on Tripadvisor as we do most of our places to eat. Well what a high end restaurant it is inside , very smart and spotless . Called with no booking at around tea time , lovely lad served us, very happy to help with our choice of food , explained how things were cooked and what they had in them. Next came the food . Starters were beautiful then mains ….well it was one of the best Lasagna we ever had, and believe me we eat a lot of lasagna. Garlic bread definitely worth having , very differently done to the normal . You must visit if in the area. Shame we found this at the end of our holiday or we would have gone again .

Food was lovely, staff friendly and helpful and the atmosphere calming. We always eat at Riccas for our special family occasions.

I have been to riccas on several accasions. And have had a great meal..but unfortunately the meal of chicken in a picon sauce was quite greasy. The lasagne was tasty this is why I have I gave it 3 stars ...the staff were very friendly and professional it was just my meal which did not stand up to park this time...

Lovely food. Good service. Yes I think them offering you a drink when you first sit down would be better rather than waiting for it, but overall it was great and I shall likely return.

Table hadn’t been prepared for us even though we booked in advance. Waited 40 minutes for anyone to offer us drinks, drinks arrived and a gin came in a coke glass I asked for a gin glass to be told they have no gin glasses so they poured into a brandy glass.very classy Another drink never arrived at all. I had to call staff to take our order, food came but was slammed down on the tables young girls need to smile more very miserable and obviously cracking under the pressures of being unorganised. The food however was very tasty, but no offer of Parmesan or to check our meals was ok. They took our dessert orders which came but they still had cleared the table of the mains. I had to ask for cutlery to eat the desserts with. Staff need more training and learn to read a room, food was good service shockingly poor. This is our second time and will be our last. A table of 7 spending over £250 and only had 1 drink due to having to keep getting up to ask for some kind of service. Glad to get out spoilt the celebration. and if you want to eat and enjoy just go elsewhere that’s more attentive to customers.

We turned up unbooked on a Saturday night the weekend about 500 cyclists descended on Newton Abbot for The Dartmoor Classic. Wanting some pre-ride Italian RIcca's popped up on trip advisor so we turned up on spec. They squeezed us in - it was full and admittedly the service was a bit slow but we were warned so not a problem. Great food and a friendly owner - recommended.

Last minute decision to take my wife out and give us both a treat. We don't go "out out" very often and I booked Ricca's on a whim. We weren't disappointed as our eating experience was excellent from start to finish. A dish I hadn't tried (or even heard of) anywhere before was the starter Arancini Siciliani and it was absolutely delicious! So full of flavour, as was the rest of our meal. Great, friendly staff, quick service, superb food and an excellent house red! We'll definitely return and soon I hope.

Lovely spacious restaurant. Informative and attentive staff. Good menu choice, fast service! Great meal

This restaurant is little gem! I go often and have never had a bad experience, the food, the service and the atmosphere are all top notch. I would recommend it for a special occasion or just a nice meal out with friends or a partner. From the greeting at the door till the time you leave they really look after you. Highly recommended.

First time visiting this restaurant and was definitely surprised, food was excellent and service was exceptional, we can with friends who were visiting for a few days and they were blown away on how good food and service was, the beers and spirits were first...

Took my daughter to Ricca’s on her Birthday, she’d traveled from London to stay for a few days. We both ordered Lasagna. As we started our meal we both remarked that there was hardly any meat within the lasagna. It was just pasta sheets and...

We’ve been to Riccas many times and have always enjoyed a lovely meal and good service. However, we booked a table for 9 people to celebrate 2 birthdays and it was a disaster! We waited 25 minutes to be asked if we wanted a drink...

Very good customer service. Good decor food was good but no better than any itailian chain restaurants. Pleasant enjoyable evenibg. Wine on the pricy side.

Visited on Sunday evening with my wife and a couple of friends. As usual, the service and food was first class. Every dish was delicious and we had a great time. This is a super restaurant run by lovely people, it is always a pleasure...

Nice looking restaurant inside and quite busy. My lasagne was actually tasteless, so was the carbonara, the seafood spicy dish had no spice and was watery. We didn't try a pizza but surely you can't make a tasteless pizza. Sorry we didn't enjoy your food....

Visited here recently on a Saturday night. We’ve never been before. Lives the layout of the place. Very modern and clean. The restaurant was busy but there were plenary of staff to look after you. We had the garlic bread to start, lasagne, carbonara and...

Had the loveliest three-course meal at Ricca’s hosted by Hilda and her lovely team. For starters, we got calamari, breaded mozzarella and mixed olives - I was too squeamish for the king prawns but my partner said they were the best he’s ever had and...

We went to riccas on Friday evening, the food was incredible. I love the atmosphere in riccas. The starter was amazing as was the main and the dessert also! I had the sharing starter which was sooo tasty. I could eat in there every day!...

Based in the centre of Newton Abbot on the highstreet is Riccas, a lovely independent Italian. Hilda was the best host and the service was quick, the food and cocktails were amazing and it was just a lovely vibe overall! I will definitely be returning...

Traditional Italian restaurant with very nice decor and low lit for a nice atmosphere. Service here is very good, attentive and friendly but not pushy. The food is really nicely cooked with all of the traditional Italian dishes you would expect. A large menu that...

We always recommend Riccas, the food is brilliant, definitely the best Italian in the area! My favourite is their Garlic Bread with Mozzarella and Carbonara. The quality is always great whether we eat in or order to takeaway. The staff are always super friendly and...

My husband and I went to Ricca's for our wedding anniversary. The food was amazing and the staff were wonderful and friendly. I have definitely recommended Ricca's to friends and to my customers. Hoping to return again soon

I went to Ricca's with my son for a 'grown up' meal out and the staff were wonderful and accommodating. They even gave my son a free 'Happy Easter' dessert which was gratefully received. Not my first visit and won't be my last.

Outstanding. Based on a recommendation, I reserved a table for 2 on a Saturday Too many brilliant courses to describe but favorites were the Calamary, garlic bread, Gambeeoni , lamb and Eldrado, EVERY dish was beautifully presented and perfect serviced. The flavors were so unique...

My first time at this restaurant having recently moved back to Newton Abbot, and it was also my first night out in town. Ricca’s stood out from the crowd so we decided it was a place to go. Italian is my favourite choice so was...

Visited here last night for the first time for my birthday with family. Service was excellent from the moment we walked in. Greeted with smiles and an efficient service. All courses were brought out perfectly and cleared, no long gaps in between. I had a...

What a brilliant restaurant! The service was speedy and really friendly. The food itself was fantastic, possibly the best Calzone i’ve had! Would recommend this place to anyone, i’m not local but I’ll definitely be returning next time i’m in the area.

Very good service and food, especially as everyone is struggling with staff during the lockdown. Very safe and lots of controls

Friends birthday nite out. Food was awesome had Pollo alla Griglia & Carne Picante nice bottle of wine enjoyed the Chicken meal was so tasty nice company and lovely food. Staff were very helpful and friendly will be back again for my birthday meal end...

Highly recommended great food staff friendly and good service. Had the sea food Pasta was amazing xx

My wife and I enjoyed dinner here. The food and the table service was very good but I had to take my bill to the bar to pay.

Very disappointing. There is only 1 mens and 1 women's toilet, and in the mens someone had urinated all over the toilet and floor. I had to step in piss when I went in there, it was disgusting, and looked like it had been there...

Good service and friendly staff. I am a coelaic and they had a well labelled menu for gf options, gf pasta was also available with any of the pasta dishes

Although there was a delay in getting our main courses it was well worth the wait. We all ordered different mains and they were all top notch. The desserts were all also gorgeous. Absolutely no criticism at all. Staff were friendly and all wearing masks....

Excellent pizza delivery! We were staying close by and fancied a pizza ! Delivery was quick delivery, pizza hot & really fresh / tasty a great pizza! Would certainly order again if we are in the area ..

Quite busy for a tuesday but service was great, very attentive without being over the top. We were given enough time between courses. Didnt feel rushed as in some restaurants. There were 9 of us and all our food looked and tasted great, really nothing...

The restaurant is let down by the service with waiting staff either walking around aimlessly or in groups chatting. The staff need managing.

If you’re looking for value for money and excellent food I wouldn’t bother. Lack lustre salads with way too much garlic in the mains. Two of our party with average appetites were still hungry after their pasta main course. The younger staff were friendly but...

Beautiful restaurant, amazing food and the manager call Horan amazing and told me everything about your restaurant and the food.thanks and I always be there.

Excellent anniversary dinner Very friendly staff Warm atmosphere Food to die for Will be back again and again

The food was very good, no complaints. The restaurant is very nice itself. The girls who served us were pleasant and helpful. But the appetiser of bread and oil came out with the starter after we mentioned we hadn’t received it! Also the coffees we...

Looking for some Italian food then this is the lace. Good traditional Italian plus some of their own special dishes. Puglian wine was excellent. Good evening all round. Air con was a bit cold! Had to move tables. Was busy which is a good sign,...

Very poor evening at Riccas clearly overbooked and understaffed. Profit over customer service and totally unfair to staff. We waited almost 40 minutes for our drinks and 1 hour 40 minutes for our starters. We were surrounded by other tables with customers shaking their heads...

Lovely restaurant with great menus. Chefs are very good and all staff very polite and on the ball. Nice vibe so makes a great night out

Waited nearly two hours for food, only after complaining we were offered free drinks. Poor service and when the food arrived, it was basic. Arrabiata was just a dollop of jar pesto topped with a chili... You can easily make better at home. Expensive too......

Visited with friends on a Saturday night. Service very slow, had to ask 4 times for water and ice Waited an hour for starters Wasn’t allowed to swap veg and potatoes for chips and salad on main course - not sure why?? Ran out of...

Can’t believe I’ve even bothered going here terrible night out they aren’t even Italian staff food is made by Turkish people The service is very bad and slow it was my dad’s birthday I took him out for dinner it was supposed to be a...

We visited this restaurant for the first time and were pleasantly surprised with the atmosphere, which can be lacking with social distancing. The staff were young but well trained and very helpful. We stayed away from the pasta and pizza and had an excellent meal....

We have been to Ricca's many times over the years and always had a great meal. We visited in June and noticed that the prices have gone up a fair bit. Two of us had chicken in the mushroom sauce and normally it would be...

Good Italian food, reasonable prices. Some information on the menu was misleading, ended up having a dish with minimal flavour despite being advertised as “spicy”. Puddings really flavoursome and decadent.

Fantastic food and friendly attentive service from the lovely front of house staff Fantastic food in a lovely setting The Resturant has a warm cosy feel superb facilities in a a lovely setting and well organised I had a starter of crisp calamari followed by...

I have eaten out as much as possible since we could eat inside to support local restaurants. Riccas has bounced back with enthusiasm, a very friendly welcome and wonderful food.

Carbonara was flavourless Chips were chewy Piza was cold to the point it had to be microwaved upon delivery Sticky toffee pudding was okay They may of just had a bad night but overall it was poor. Have been put off ordering from them in...

4 months after a visit, 2 messages, a voicemail, and no response. Received “Hi Alexander it’s been a while since your visit and apologies for your unsatisfactory experience but thankyou for the feedback” And then “Apologies what are you expecting from us? This was August...

Very pleased to find somewhere open in Newton Abbot on a Monday! Even though the Covid restrictions had been relaxed, there were lots of restaurants closed on a Monday in the town. We were a mixed group with differing dietary requirements so it was good...

As a local this was our first visit as our friends have recommended Ricca’s to us. The positives are it’s a lovely setting, great decor, atmosphere and the food tasted lovely and of a good standard. Sadly here are the negatives. We arrived at 7.45pm...

REALLY tasty food, great service and delicious wine. If you like red try the Berri Estates Shiraz, so nice we bought a bottle to take home with us!

This was my first time going. Will definately be going again. Food was delicious. Staff very friendly.

Amazing! taste amazing and great price and quick takeaway service! Lots of choice for vegetarians. Will definitely be having it again

Lovely atmosphere and lovely waiting staff. We ordered the sea bass which was gorgeous, the spaghetti bolognese was beautifully cooked and the tropicana pizza was well balanced between dough and toppings. Would recommend booking a table here if you are ever in Newton Abbot.

We were shown to our table by a waitress who did not have a mask on. She left us at the table, which already had a drinks menu and napkins and cutlery on it. She returned a few minutes later with a food menu (not...

Visited Ricca's on Sunday and Monday night whilst visiting the area. First night had Garlic prawns with creamy garlic and Spinach potatoes and Pizza. All fabulous. Tonight we had Lamb Rump with veal jus and Penne(gluten free) Carbonara. Excellent. Service was friendly and professional. Would...

I visited with family and we were all very happy with our meals and the restaurant in general. We were not close to other tables. The service was good, but the waitresses weren't wearing masks. We would have preferred to see staff wearing masks during...

Fantastic family meal .. all freshly made - can highly recommend ****** Our only negative was the desserts were a let down All out of a packet or box .. not home made ...☹️

Not been sine lockdown so it was great to return to eat in with friends Felt very safe and staff were wonderful and ensured we knew what to do. Food and drinks to be ordered and paid for at bar Food brilliant as always

We were visiting locally so ate here and the food was great, no complaints there! However, we had eaten out the night previously and felt so safe (after not going out for 4 months) but here was very uncomfortable. We were seated at our table,...

I had the best calzone last night you can tell they love wat they are doiny keep going l will be having more soon

Lush food so missed this, lovely takeaway cant wait for covid19 to be over to have these luxury evenings in your restaurant.

Well.. We came here 6 months ago and decided it was the best place to eat in Devon. Had a great meal and a great night... BUT NOT THIS Time.. We arrived at the restaurant and were put on our table. Originally for 8 people...

We have eaten here several times and it never disappoints ! Whenever we stay in the area we come here, last week drove over from Torquay ( much better than the Italian restaurants there !) and enjoyed excellent food and excellent service ! All restaurants...

We ate here on Christmas Eve before we went into town for a couple of drinks and were pleasantly surprised, the staff and food are brilliant. I’d definitely recommend the carbonara. Great value for money.

Food is good, but overpriced. The staff never look happy, so it must either be an owner or manager problem. It’s not the sort of place I would go if I wanted to celebrate. I just feel I am an inconvenience somehow

We arrived at 5pm on a Sunday. No other diners. After ordering our drinks, 10 minutes to have them, and then after ordering our meals, another 30 minutes. I accept that they do fresh cooking but it wasn't a pizza. The calzone looked huge but...
