Great place to step back into the 20th Century.... Rico is a very charming grocer, caterer, entrepreneur. The store walls are covered in authentic memorabilia photos of celebs and politicians.. Great smells from the freshly prepared food, there's beer and Rico and his Mom have their own bottled wine too ... I left with a Raspberry Lime Rickey bottled soda and a cookie..... established 47 years ago..... Well worth the visit... Not far from the Casino.

I'm a Springfield resident and I can't believe this was my fist time visiting Mom & Rico's! The employees were incredibly friendly. All the food looked incredible and the sandwich I ordered was great! I will definitely be back! I don't have a picture to provide because I inhaled my sandwich!

Stopped by on our way through Springfield and what a treat! Rico was such a fun character with a love of his shop and a love of Bocce. We enjoyed his homemade sodas and our sandwich was super fresh and delicious. A must stop in Springfield if you love a quirky spot with good food.

Delicious buffet for lunch, but they serve you very generous portions. Italian specialties. Great selection of bocce merchandise. Very good, but small selection of prepackaged Italian foods. They make their own delicious soups and food available by the pound. There are places to sit, but this is mostly a take out place.

I gotta be honest . I don’t know how this place hasn’t been shut down. After watching on phantom gourmet I took a 1 hr drive out there to give it a try cuz it looked so good. Upon arriving I asked to use the bathroom. I was handed a couple of paper towels to bring into the bathroom with me . The bathroom was disgusting and looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in ages.. At the buffet table I noticed the steam table wasn’t being used so the food wasn’t only not being kept warm but was uncovered . I was told by the woman behind the counter to tell her what I wanted and she would fill my plate which was a styrofoam take out container. She scooped my food into the container and then put it into the microwave to heat it up since the steam table wasn’t being used. How long was that buffet food been sitting there? Then the gentleman cut me a piece of procutto and handed to me in and ungloved hand. The microwaved food was mediocre at best. It saddens me because the owners were super nice people and the place is kinda quirky but the hygiene is terrible. I think phantom gourmet blew this one

Wow. Where to begin. We are frequent visitors to another nearby Italian foods store (see my other reviews for its name and 5-star review) so decided to give Mom and Rico's a try. While the staff were friendly, it was overtly and frankly uncomfortable. The store's decor was dated and dirty. Much of the inventory was dusty and looked like it had been sitting for years.We had a look at the buffet to see what options were available. The food look tired, like it had been sitting all day. Being polite we ask for just a few items from the buffet, but the woman who handled the food kept putting way more than what we wanted. I got the feeling they were trying to get rid of the food and padding the bill. It may be true that in its early days this was a great place, but now it a place to avoid.

Old school, yet quirky. Best ham sandwich ever for $1.43! But buy something else while you're there to support this unique Springfield venue on Main Street. It's an event. Rico is the curator of the Bocci Hall of Fame. Excellent takeout pasta dishes.
