Owner Cesare Tini has done himself proud with his new digs - a cozy villa with vines clinging to ceiling beams, an open kitchen, rustic plaster walls and softly lighted ambience. Rick's serves up good, inexpensive grub with few frills. Try a cup of rich Lentil soup to start, which complements a spicy Antipasto and a dozen addicting Garlic Rolls. Dinners lean toward pasta, such as a tasty Angel Hair with Crab, Baked Ziti, or a tongue-twisting Spaghetti and Sausage. Pasta dishes are down home with no frills, but worthy of a hearty appetite.
Lunches are generous and cheap.
