Really enjoyed this place! We were sat quickly and our server was on point. The food was delicious, the best Italian food we’ve ever had. The atmosphere was enjoyable and lively but not loud. We’re definitely coming back!

Everything we ate was delicious. Service was fast! You cannot go wrong with the Tagliarini. It is full of tomato, garlic and basil! We tried 3 desserts: the Sogno di Choccolata, Tiramisu, and Cannoli....all were good, but the Cannoli was the CLEAR winner!!! AJ was very attentive and quick with everything!

A Florence Mainstay – Always a Wonderful Experience! Every visit to this restaurant is a five-star dining experience, and today’s lunch was no exception! I ordered the pork chop with mashed potatoes and vegetables, and everything was cooked to perfection. A special shoutout to my server, Addie, who went above and beyond—she even brought me a sample of the mashed potatoes beforehand to ensure I liked the seasoning. That level of attentiveness is rare and truly appreciated! She also made sure my mocktail (J3 alcohol-free) was mixed perfectly. The only small note? It was a bit chilly inside, so I’ll bring a jacket next time. But that won’t stop me or my family from dining here for years to come. This place remains a Florence favorite, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for top-notch food and service! - J3

I had a fantastic dining experience at Ricatoni’s in Florence, AL! Our server, Alex, was fabulous—she was attentive, friendly, and truly made our evening special. I ordered the ravioli, which was absolutely delicious, while my partner, Earl, enjoyed the filet florentine that was cooked to perfection. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between casual and romantic, making it a great choice for a date night. We also loved the fresh bread served with herb and oil; it was the perfect start to our meal. Overall, I highly recommend Ricatoni’s for anyone looking for a delightful dining experience. We can’t wait to return!

This is the kind of restaurant you try to find but rarely ever do. Eat at Ricatonis! I worked at the hospital in Florence and asked several nurses where I should eat. Ricatonis was always their first answer, and for good reason.

The food was delicious and the service was great. We've eaten here before when we visited Florence. We both ordered the Lasagne Ricatoni. My husband ordered his with melted cheese on top, I didn't. He thought mine had more sauce than his, so if you prefer more sauce, get it without the melted cheese or request extra sauce. Also the dessert looked delicious, but we were too full to try it.

Had multiple recommendations from friends to check this place out, and it didn’t disappoint. The starter bread is so amazingly warm and the herb blend you mix with olive oil is amazing. Pictures include the margherita pizza, chicken parm (substituted the default pasta for spaghetti and red sauce), the chocolate brownie/cake, and cannolis. Everything we had was super delicious! In my opinion, the pizza was the star of the show. You can’t beat an authentic brick oven. Atmosphere was great, too. If fine dining and pizzeria were combined into one venue, this would be it. Pics don’t do it justice. You’ve gotta try it out!

Ate here last night. EVERYTHING about the food and service was 100% PERFECT. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. Just.... everything was excellent. This place has always been my go to ever since being a student at UNA and into my 40's! Best Italian restaurant in North Alabama is Ricatoni's.
