  The beautiful sunshine plate of grilled vegetables was perfect for my starter! Pounds inevitably pile on when you’re a food blogger, so I frequently have a few weeks off in order to get back to normal. When I’m on a health-kick I’m not faddy… I don’t eliminate any food groups and I still try to keep a balance of healthy carbs, fats and protein. Rather than do anything drastic, I simply count calories on My Fitness Pal and ramp up my exercise. The grilled vegetable dish actually appears on the main with the addition of mozzarella. However, Riccardo’s have a whole vegan menu…so move over Beyonce…I was going vegan! Well, for my starter at least. Let’s face it everything’s going to taste better when smothered in melted cheese but I really enjoyed the vegetables, and artichokes are a particular favourite of mine.Ashley and I were lucky enough to have the man himself, Riccardo Mariti join us for lunch. He joined me in eating the vegan version of the grilled vegetables, and we also ordered another waist-friendly dish of mixed crudite to share.Actually sharing is very much at the heart of the concept of Riccardo’s. While staying in Tuscany, Riccardo visited a little family-run restaurant, here there was no menu but extraordinarily good food was bought out of the kitchen and served family style to the entire restaurant. silverspoonlondon.co.uk

  I went to Riccardo’s on a trip to London from NZ. It was the middle of winter, I’d had a long day looking around the massive Science museum, so I needed something warming and delicious (also vegan friendly) My partner, my friend, and I came across Riccardo’s and I was very pleasantly surprised. Not only did they have vegan options, but they had a whole vegan Menu!! – earning them big points in my book. The food was delicious, the service brilliant, and the atmosphere was great- I really can’t fault this restaurant. They have clearly thought about the taste of the vegan food they put out- unlike a lot of place I have ate at before. When I find myself back in Chelsea, I will be going back to Riccardo’s. rachaelclaudette.blogspot.com

  Riccardo’s in the heart of Chelsea is my favourite local italian restaurant to dine at. Riccardo always makes you feel right at home and his been serving his fantastic authentic food all the way from Tuscany for over 20 years.An added bonus is the gluten free options they have on offer and the red organic wine is definitely a winner in my books. I recommend you try the meatballs, absolutely mouth watering and if you like your cocktails they do a mean espresso martini!The ambience is warm and the staff are always so accommodating. Bring your puppy because this place is also pet friendly! beingblondeitisalifestyle.com
