Ricotti’s

LOVE LOVE LOVE! I am an out of towner but have gone to riccottis every time I visit Rhode Island. There’s nothing like this place in Ohio, that’s for sure!

I finally made it over to Ricotti’s on Mineral Spring. The place doesn’t look like much from the street, and inside the 70s décor is continued. They also only accept cash, so make sure to hit up the ATM before heading over.
The good news is that the sandwiches are amazing. I got two large italian subs to go, and they were too big for my large dinner plates at home. They were overstuffed with meat, cheese, and veggies and the bread was of a high quality. I grew up outside of Philly and I have longing for a hoagie for years and couldn’t quite find anything comparable up here, but Ricotti’s will hit the spot for now.
This is an old-​school sub shop with old-​school décor and old-​school prices. I’m a fan.

The best sandwiches in North Providence for the price. Everything is delicious, their turkey isn’t the best quality but this isn’t the type of place for that kinda thing. I love their shaved steak, tuna salad, Italian and even their seafood salad sandwich is good. Their small is like the size of another places large, I can never eat it all in one sitting. Love it, can’t say it enough. Never change Ricottis, only to get better turkey and maybe delivery, but other than that you’re a magnificent gem on Mineral Spring!

I used to love this place. Would go in and order a few sandwiches and a loaf of bread to go. Until one day I was suddenly told that I couldn’t buy a loaf of bread. What? You don’t want money? They said that too many people were buying their bread… Um, install a shelf and sell your bread! It’s not rocket science. The sandwiches are still great, but the staff (the older woman with gray hair with the obnoxious attitude) rubbed me the wrong way. Hint: just sell the bread if a customer asks for it!

I drive by this place a lot and I decided to stop in last night. I ordered the shaved steak sandwich to go — it was huge and so good! I shared with my husband and we have leftovers for the next day! I will definitely be back.

I’ve been to this place a few times now the sandwiches are good and much less expensive compared to other places close by. The first time I went here I thought it was going to be horrible. I was quite surprised and I will continue to go back.

After years of never having these amazing sandwiches, nothing much has changed. Great Job

Nothin fancy here, just like it was when I was a kid. Everything still tastes and looks the same. I grew up thinking this place invented the Italian grinder lol.
It’s probably one of the better places to get a quick grinder in north providence/​Johnston area. It’s like walking into the 80s or 90s when you walk into a ricottis. Love it, hope it never changes.

They take the time to get the order right. It’s always hot and fresh and coffee milk is never out of stock. Great food great crew.

Place is small but clean owner isn’t to friendly he seems to yell at his employees way to much but food is Amazon winners are the best around most defiantly subs are worth it the buffalo chicken sub is to die for highly recommend their food but get it to go if you don’t wanna listing to the owner screen and yell and swear at his employees

Good sandwiches, but facility needs an upgrade. Old and rundown a bit, perhaps paint, new counter tops and floor would help. Aside from the cosmetics downfall the service was good and food was good. On the same par as a D’Angelos.

They nail it every time! If you want a true taste of a RI grinder, come here!!! They make the best GRINDA’S, around!!!

My wife is from Providence area and every time I visit the in laws I make it a point to go to Ricottis. Why? Because they got the best subs/​grinders/​hoagies/​heros or whatever you like to call them. I always get the deluxe Italian and am never disappointed. This place has been around for decades and it isn’t hard to see why: they deliver consistently delicious food at a bargain price.

I grew up on Ricotti’s in the 70’s and I still love it in 2015.

Hands down, the best sandwich I’ve ever had! The tuna is absolutely amazing! I had it with pickles, cucumbers and lettuce on it, because, come on, you need a little crunch sometimes. The prices are very affordable. Don’t order the large and expect to finish it by yourself. I ordered a small and felt very satisfied after. They make hot sandwiches as well, which I’ll be trying on my next visit. They only take cash so make sure to stop at the ATM before you head on over. Definitely a hidden gem! Go and check it out! You won’t be disappointed!

70’s Sandwich Shop
I love Ricotti’s, always have always will.
Let’s break it down simply, the place is dump, but your not going there for ambiance. Your going there for a great sub and you should get it.
My favorites are the BLT, Steak Cheese and Onions, and the «Cabba Gool» with provolone.
The staff is always amazing busy or not and these people can churn out a lot of sandwiches fast.
Lastly, the owner, I don’t know his name, but every time I go in I get a big hello and I’m asked how I am. If you go here a few times you’ll feel like a regular.
Tip:
Grab a few 26 inch sandwiches for a party, they’re awesome, 12 bucks what a deal!
I hope Ricotti’s is around forever.
Thanks

Oh mama. I feel like I walked into the 70s, prices and all! Amazing, amazing sandwiches. I was greeted by a young lady who informed me she had been working there for ten years. Wow. Guess that’s a good sign. I asked her what’s good and she emphatically promoted the tuna. I wasn’t even in the mood for tuna, I never order tuna, but her excitement sold me on it. Boy, was I happy about this choice. This is the best tuna sub I’ve ever consumed. Also tried the Italian deluxe — delicious. Julienne salad, the same. A «small» sandwich ran me about $ 4 and was more than enough for a meal. Super great deal and great freshness. I have become an instant regular!

Love the subs here! However I do mostly stick to my steak and cheese with pickles and lettuce and nobody does it better! My wife had tried the Italian sub here and although she said it wasn’t the best Italian she’s ever had, she was still impressed.
I do need to try their Italian because it looks so good; it’s just so hard to say no to a steak and cheese any time I’m here.
And and did I mention the subs are only like 7 bucks?! Incredible deal. However, leave your debit cards at home because they only take cash.

Driven past this place MAYBE a million times. Happy to finally visit.
This is a supreme alternative to any sandwich place that I’ve been to in as long as I can remember. This is very reminiscent of my FAVORITE sandwich joint in Austin (Thundercloud Subs). The inside is very bare-​bones, but I think that’s showing the focus on the food and the customer interaction.
The employee that I spoke to was very kind, was younger and was helpful giving recommendations on food and was knowledgeable about what was on my sandwich and got to making it immediately.
The manager/​owner came out and we struck up some cheap conversation and he was nice enough to strike out the cost of the soda that I ordered which, even as a small gesture, was very kind.
The sandwich came out to $ 8.00 or so as I got a large and, Jesus Christ, this sandwich was huge. I was astounded as I paid no attention while they made it.
I got home nearby and started working on it and it was very delicious. It was all very fresh tasting, well organized on the bread (not spilling out everywhere) and very nice quantities/​ratio of the meat, cheese, and additional toppings.
The most impressive bit for me was the bread. It was very fresh, very tasty, and was a perfect compliment to the wonderful toppings inside the sandwich. For the cost, the proximity and the kindness of the employees, I fully intend to go to this joint far too many times.

Great service and great sandwiches!
My boyfriend wanted jersey mikes, but I insisted we go here because I’m all about supporting local, family owned businesses.
He was not disappointed and neither was I.
A+ for flexibility with ordering. You can put whatever you want on your sandwich! And for a reasonable price!
$ 13 for two medium subs. One roast beef, turkey and bacon. And the other turkey and salami.
We will be back :)
