Took my wife to Uricchio's for her birthday and was pleasantly surprised with this restaurant. The food and service were both excellent. The outdoor seating was an added bonus, and very relaxing to enjoy a glass of wine. Overall, Urrichio's is an excellent choice for any occasion. We will definitely be back.

I wish I could tell you how the food was, but we were never served so we never got a chance to order. I had heard nothing but rave reviews about this local place and decided it was finally time to try it as my husband and I planned a nice evening out and we wanted something more intimate than a chain could offer.
We had reservations and were sat right away and someone brought out bread and butter and said our server would be right out. First of all, the bread and butter was a major diappointment and indication to us that things may not be as nice as we had heard; honestly, cold butter and room temperature bread of the same quality as Albertsons. As we looked over the menu and waited for our server we couldn't find anything that really stood out while we tried to decide what we wanted to order, nothing we couldn't make and enjoy on our own at home, for the most part. While the prices for the pasta were pretty reasonable, the one steak on the menu was upwards of $35 and this isn't even a steakhouse.
Anyhow, we had decided what we wanted and tried to have a concersation while waiting for our server, but the tile floor and tables that are crammed into a very small space made it imopssible to hear eachother, despite our extremely small table. All we could hear was the conversations at the tables next to us, I' not sure if there was any music playing because I couldn't hear it if there was. Eventually, I realized I was really thirsty and noticed that the table near us was receiving their beverages. At this point we had been seated for twenty minutes, been given cold bread and butter, no water, and didn't even know who our server was, and it was a slow Tuesday night. The server for the other table finally noticed us and asked if she could at least get us some water, which was really nice since it wasn't her fault we had been ignored, but we decided that we were really hungry and we were not enjoying ourselves at all, so we left. There wasn't even anyone at the front to notice that we left.
We went to Outback, where we were seated, served, and refreshed immediately, with several servers and managers connstantly checking to see if we were happy. And we could hear our own conversation with no problem. Say what you want about the chains, but they are successful for a reason and the local businesses could learn a few things.
Just another local place that all the locals seem to think is great, but I can't figure out why. Please tell me, WHY????

Urrichio's has changed. The last 2 times I've been there, the smoke from the grill is so thick and the smell of grease has stayed on my clothes all day. I have always loved their food and ambience but I am wandering if the upkeep of the facility is not being done.

Great downtown ambiance, good food and outstanding service. I've been here many times and the servers are always very accommodating and don't mind substitutions. I was there recently with a party of 5 and everyone changed something on their order. The waiter didn't write anything down and when the food was delivered, it was exactly as ordered.
I mostly order the chicken piccata because it's my favorite. However, everything I've tried has been tasty. The pork tenderlions are delicious as well.
Just make sure to have a reservation because this place is always busy (and for good reason).
