"With a message on the wall that reads 'Ernest Hemingway has not eaten here... but Elvis has,' there is little doubt that this place has a personality all its own." The Birmingham News.

Rick Elliott has lived in Florence a little more than a decade and a half, just long enough to establish one of the finest Italian restaurants around: Ricatoni's Italian Grill. Elliott—a self-described dishwasher, cook, chef and bus boy—has become one of the most respected restaurateurs in the business. With lighthearted charm, wit and a vivid imagination, he has created one of Alabama's most pleasurable dining experiences. Ricatoni's popular menu selections include pizza baked in a wood-burning oven, trattatoria-style main dishes, crab cakes, wines and pastries.
