Nostalgic and Friendly

If you come out west of Chicago to Dekalb County make a stop in downtown Sycamore at Riccardi's Redhots and Ice Cream. It's a fun friendly place with imagination. I first wandered in there just to check it out. I was immediately greeted by the owner, Frank Riccardi. He looked familiar and thought i did too. Turns out we used to work together some years back. We were never close back then but the way they treat people at their restaurant, within no time I felt like family. That's the kind of place Riccardi's is, you come in as a customer and leave as a friend. The menu is mostly burgers and dogs, both are excellent and they go out of their way to make sure you get it just the way you like it. They have many specialty items from a huge burger they call The Flatliner to Their Elvis Sandwich (peanut butter and banana) It's a great place to visit. You walk in and feel appreciated and if you come on a Friday Night you just might catch some musicians out front having a sidewalk jam.
