Rick’s Place has a friendly relaxed atmosphere, the food is exceptional as they cater for so many food intolerances, it’s a joy to eat there. Everything is Gluten free, with options of Onion and Garlic free, Dairy free and Lactose free to choose from. My favourite Italian Restaurant in Melbourne. Highly Recommend

Great menu, average service, only a husband and wife working with 2 “large” tables booked, they didn’t seem to cope very well, and complained about the inconvenience of take away orders and said booked large tables - also long waits for very small portions of food.

It's so nice to go to a restaurant where Gluten Free is not limited to just one or two choices. Our meals were delicious and dessert just divine. Great food and friendly service. Doesn't get much better than that.

A wonderful birthday lunch. The food was absolutely beautiful and the staff were amazing - helpful, attentive and so careful with our special dietary needs. Best selection of gluten free food I have ever seen. Also loved the way the staff didn’t rush us in any way and let us talk, eat, relax and leave in our own time.

While the plates were certainly impressive, the portions were somewhat underwhelming. My risotto, unfortunately, was marred by unexpected surprises—gritty bits of shell that threatened to send my teeth flying. And the chips? Well, let's just say they weren't quite up to par. My friend was equally disappointed with her Bolognese, especially considering the hefty price tag. It's a shame that such a high price point didn't translate into a more extraordinary dining experience.

Rick’s a great host. He was friendly and very hospitable. Nothing too much trouble. Place was a little quiet for a Friday lunchtime. Nice decor My hubby did enjoyed his meal ( COTOLETTA Chicken ) I ordered the seafood pasta - PASTA ALLO SCOGLIO which was a little disappointing for a seafood lover and at their price point I would expected more quality than what was served. The king prawns were only 2 small sized prawns and were dry/overcooked. 2 mussels one wasn’t any good. Fish pieces some were fresh some were dry. Calamari was fresh and nice. Pasta was cooked well. Flavour was a little bland for my taste. But overall not too bad an experience given my hubby did enjoyed his meal and Rick was nice and friendly. We would recommend and would go back and try out other dishes.

Was an awesome experience. The staff were friendly and understood the needs of a coeliac. What is better they were able to cater for that with a good variety of foods and more exciting was that the food was yummy. Highly recommended if you are coeliac or have allergies. We will be going back again and again. Lovely venue and lovely people.
