Ricado's Italian - Aiea

I've been coming here since 2012 and It's so amazing!! The staff has always been friendly and accommodating. The fettuccine Alfredo is the best I've ever had!

Exterior may not be flashy, but here you will experience amazing food and service! My daughter asked me to tip well given how much she loved the pasta :

It's a gem of Italian fine dining tucked in Pearl Kai shopping Plaza. It's a little dark and cozy, spacious little place. Didn't reserve and still had enough for 5 easily around 530p on a Wednesday night no less. Food and service was great. Free bread ? , highly recommend and they even gave us a free cheesecake and helped sing due to a birthday ?. Vegetarian options: Mushroom Linguine

The atmosphere was cozy and the service friendly and on point. Prices are varied, but can add up if doing several courses. Overall quality is quite good and the leftovers heated up well and mostly maintained the quality of the dish. Only thing missing was an Angel hair pasta option. Dessert was a Mud pie that was shared and tasty.

This is not my first time coming here, but it's definitely my last.I heavily recommended this place after coming ONE time because I was so amazed how everything tasted. Ever since they did away with lunch they went down...I ordered an appetizer and salad, which was super good and was as great as last time. Can't complain. It was my main dish. It was AWFUL it tasted like jar pasta sauce, and I know as I specifically hate jar sauce and can always taste it out of homemade alfredo. It's night and day. But the consistency was also that of jar, watery...I complained because I just didn't want it anymore but I did pick at the chx because he was taking forever to come back to our table... it wasn't even busy.When he finally came round, Our server made a snarky remark about what I had left on the plate. MIND YOU, all I did was eat some of the BOILED chicken, but no pasta was eaten!!! I just asked for something else easy. But after that remark I didn't want anything.So we get our bill... and they just marked $10 off my $20 pasta plate that I could've made for $5...... I wasn't looking to get free food, I just wanted to enjoy my meal with my boyfriend. I was so upset I didn't even leave a tip. Maybe it's because we're young, but I felt judged and discriminated against. I don't care who says to come here I won't recommend it anymore.And I thought I was gunna like this place over bravos... not anymore.
