The closed Ricco Bambino restaurant is under renovations to become the new Ricco Room.
General Manager and partner Taylorr Gramlich couldn91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™t be more excited.
91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵœI was actually the GM of Ricco Bambino when that was still in operation when I met our now business partners who are from West Vancouver. They fell in love with the space, like I think a lot of us did91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ¦We just kind of want to bring it to full fruition of its full potential.91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ
Gramlich says Ricco Bambino was known to be more of an urban winery, and to pay ode to that, the Ricco Room will carry some of its wines and other biodynamic and natural wines from across the valley.
91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵœBut the main focus is going to be on cocktails.91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ
The Ricco Room is going for higher-end libations, as Gramlich put it.
The new place will also include more food options.
91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵœOne of the main issues with the previous venue was we really only had charcuterie and small dishes for people to choose from, none of which were hot. So, that was a big hole that I saw in the previous offerings. We really wanted to bring it to having a full service venue this time around.91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ
The Ricco Room doesn91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™t yet have an opening day, but is aiming for late spring or early summer of 2023.
