Where the Mediterranean meets the Alps
Break the monotony of uninspired take-out with curated weekly menus and travel stories from across Italy by one of D.C.’s iconic restaurants.
The i Ricchi Food Club is a pre-paid pickup food service Tuesday through Sundaty that curates authentic Italian cuisine with a pre-set 4 course menu for up to 8 people. Each week, Chef Christianne Ricchi hand crafts a different luxurious dining experience that will transport you through Italy -- and the optional wines and spirits will only add to the fun!As featured in
WEEK 306 MENU: February 3-8, 2026
Trentino-Alto Adige: Where the Mediterranean Meets the Alps
Some call it the sunny side of the Alps, others call it Trentin-Südtirol, and others Trentino-Alto Adige. It is extremely mountainous, covering a large part of the Dolomites and Southern Alps. The interesting historical past makes the region unique, neither completely Austrian nor Italian. It is a place where Austrian charm mingles with the stylish Italian flair.
This week’s menu will be a departure from the well-known dishes of the South – and interesting combination of the cuisines of two cultures.

Superbowl Fried Chicken Meal
At our little Trattoria in Tuscany we were famous for our "Pollo Fritto," - fried chicken. The Florentines would drive out to visit us in the country on the weekends and we would always sell out.
I am proud to say that my American friends and customers (even those from the South!) seem to have also fallen in love with my recipe so I am starting a new tradition. On Sundays I will be frying up my recipe -- this time for the Washingtonians -- and for Super Bowl Sunday you can buy it in buckets!
If you don't want a bucket or you are not serving 4 people, you might consider ordering our individual fried chicken meal here.
