This is SUCH a hidden gem! I was warmly welcomed inside & introduced to the simple yet perfectly crafted menu. The service was so friendly & I was recommended two incredible piadinas. Then the coffee was….UNREAL! The lovely man who was serving me said he roasts it himself. 10/10 immaculate chilled vibes, with incredible Italian food & coffee. Can’t wait to go back.

A small, relaxed cafe with a nice outdoor space. There’s a buzz to it during the week as people are working upstairs. The coffees are made so well and pair perfectly with one of the delicious cannolis.

A cozy coffee shop with a good selection of pastries and well made espresso. A nice atmosphere with plenty of seating inside and outside when the weather is ok. A little bit out of the city but good parking nearby and handy for a coffee before going into Liverpool. Very close to the new Everton stadium so may get busier in the future. Has a maker space attached which runs plenty of courses.

We have been past the sign for Riccardo's loads of times but never bothered going to see it. Today, because of road works we cut up Regent Street. What a really pleasant surprise! We had coffee, a beer and piadine. Couldn't fault anything. We will visit again! Riccardo is nice, sociable and definitely wants to please.

Absolutely loved this place! The quality of coffee and the coffee making art are amazing. Plenty of options of pastries, mainly Italian originals like cannoli! Ricardo is a great host, he made me try the ginseng coffee, as I don't drink caffeine, and it blew my mind the way he made it into a cappuccino. He makes on the spot great savoury foods, too, my favourite by far the piadine.
