Rico's - Wyre

Having been a mainstay in Poulton for over 30 years you pretty much know what you are getting, the menu doesn’t change apart from daily special and if you have a seat by the window there’s a good view too We haven’t been here for ages so looked for a bit of nostalgia on a very busy Saturday evening without a booking. As always they do everything to get you a seat asap and we got a table without waiting Mixed reviews over the food, my husband’s salmon pasta he said too him back to times past and met expectations. However (and sadly) not so for my pizza which whilst cooked on the top was a little doughy in the middle. Perhaps I’m fussy about pizza having such great pizza restaurants in Poulton (Pulci, Brew and Bones) but this wasn’t really for me. All in all, an ok experience, it was very busy, we were grateful to get a table, others loved it so maybe just an unusual service night for them affected my meal.

The food was delicious, a real treat the service was attentive without being over zealous. The atmosphere was pleasant despite some raucous elements.

Rico’s is a high quality establishment that is worthy of the reputation it’s built up over the last four decades. I had the calzone and it was delicious. Large in size and plenty of flavour. The service was really good with staff committed to delivering a friendly and welcoming experience. The ambience of the restaurant created the ideal setting for a bank holiday meal out. It had a good view with the backdrop of an historical market town. Slight areas for improvement might include having a single named waiter/waitress. The bread sticks were a really welcome addition, but I don’t think they should be served in the packet.

Lovely little Italian in Poulton. Food and service are always very good. Can get food to take away as well.

I went here with my partner and had a wonderful time. The food was fabulous, I had seabass and scallops, my other half had filet Rossini and both main dishes were amazing. The steak was cooked perfectly, rare but no blood and my seabass was as soft as butter. Beautiful. The staff were really attentive and actually very funny too. I live in Surrey but will definitely be back for another visit when I'm back in the North West.
