| - I LOVE RICCI'S!!!
I've been going to this place since I was a kid and it never disappoints. The reason I keep coming back here is the panzerotti, this is a large dough pocket filled with cheese and your choice of toppings, you have the option to get it baked or fried, you MUST get it fried and with a side of tomato sauce. The dough comes out of the fryer perfectly crispy on the outside and beautifully fluffy on the inside. The toppings are standard pizza toppings but the sauce is the real hit. The sauce on the side is worth the extra charge, it is a simple tomato sauce that is clearly made fresh, they don't add too much to the sauce but they let the amazing tomatoes shine (this sauce is something i would imagine a true Italian nonna making).
Another of my favourites here is the rice balls. These are balls of orzo rice, stuffed with mozeralla and peas, breaded then fried, they are served with that amazing tomato sauce. The rice balls are cheesy, saucy, soft, but a little crispy, they are served hot and are simply to die for. The pizza here is also good and I have heard good things about their pasta and veal (they must make a mean veal sandwich since their phone number is 850-VEAL).
This is a very laid back place, you come in order at the counter, take a seat and wait for your name to be called. It gets busy but the food usually comes out promptly. I believe they do have a liquor license but you should pass up the alcohol and opt for a brio. The portions are very generous (the panzerotti's are massive, but i always manage to finish it) and the price is very reasonable. This place is a woodbridge legend if you are in the area be sure to stop by!
