Located on East Lake Road near General Electric in Erie, PA, Ricardo’s proudly serves traditional American, Italian and Steakhouse style cuisine at affordable prices in a casual, friendly atmosphere.

Erie’s Most Famous Steakhouse

At Ricardo’s Restaurant, we’re known for the Best Filet Mignon from Erie, PA to Northwestern NY and Northeastern, OH. We have fans far and wide outside our area including Chicago, IL, Pittsburgh, PA and Denver, CO just to name a few. What makes our Filet Mignon so special? Whether you order our 4 oz. Filet Mignon and Butterflied Shrimp Dinner or our Full Cut Filet Mignon Dinner, we start with the best grain-fed beef available and carefully prepare it using our signature seasonings and proprietary cooking method and serve it to your specifications. We promise you won’t be disappointed! Many have tried to duplicate our results – but nobody comes close. We also offer a NY Strip Steak prepared with the same meticulous standards.

Lunch, Dinner or Take-Out?

Whether you’re looking for a light lunch and a hot cup of coffee with a co-worker or you’d like to have dinner out with your sweetheart or family, we’ve got the perfect menu selection for you.
