Rick's Place

Rick is always a fantastic host and food is excellent and the service is fast.

Great food that carefully caters for allergies. Suitable for Coeliacs. Rick is very passionate about creating a safe space for all diners.

Incredible food, super friendly service, highly recommended. Coeliac heaven!! A must visit.

Lovely hosts. Tasty meal. Good menu. Enjoyed our evening meal.

Terrific food for coeliac and “ normal “ diets. Able to share stress free- very friendly staff.

Amazing food and service! I can't wait for my next meal there

The host and Rick were lovely and very attentive. We travelled from Pakenham to get there and arrived very early - and the accommodated us. The food was delicious, and the serving sizes were spot on. Will definitely be returning soon!

While the plates were certainly impressive, the portions were somewhat underwhelming. My risotto, unfortunately, was marred by unexpected surprises—gritty bits of shell that threatened to send my teeth flying. And the chips? Well, let's just say they weren't quite up to par. My friend was equally disappointed with her Bolognese, especially considering the hefty price tag. It's a shame that such a high price point didn't translate into a more extraordinary dining experience.

Food was absolutely fantastic, the staff were attentive and they went out of their way to ensure we had a wonderful time

It’s always a pleasure to eat at Rick’s place. Food was fantastic as usual

Great GF options, and engaged staff that make you feel welcome

The food was to die for! The service was exceptional. Will definitely be back with friends and family.

Rick’s a great host. He was friendly and very hospitable. Nothing too much trouble. Place was a little quiet for a Friday lunchtime. Nice decor My hubby did enjoyed his meal ( COTOLETTA Chicken ) I ordered the seafood pasta - PASTA ALLO SCOGLIO which was a little disappointing for a seafood lover and at their price point I would expected more quality than what was served. The king prawns were only 2 small sized prawns and were dry/overcooked. 2 mussels one wasn’t any good. Fish pieces some were fresh some were dry. Calamari was fresh and nice. Pasta was cooked well. Flavour was a little bland for my taste. But overall not too bad an experience given my hubby did enjoyed his meal and Rick was nice and friendly. We would recommend and would go back and try out other dishes.

Staff were fantastic and super friendly. Great food too and generous potions

Great service, good food & relaxed ambience at Rick’s restaurant, North Melbourne. Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch.

Friendly and welcoming staff. Food was great quality and tasty. Multiple food allergies and intolerances were able to be catered for whilst the food still tasted good!

Ricks place is amazing, its a virtual Coeliac Heaven the service is fantastic, Rick makes a point of talking to every customer and making them feel very welcome and appreciated

Great to eat gluten free and the food was of an excellent standard for a small cafe. Love Italian food. Rick is very friendly and a great host.

Just an amazing experience today. So friendly. It was our first visit and they really made my whole family feel welcome. Will definitely be back.

Was an awesome experience. The staff were friendly and understood the needs of a coeliac. What is better they were able to cater for that with a good variety of foods and more exciting was that the food was yummy. Highly recommended if you are coeliac or have allergies. We will be going back again and again. Lovely venue and lovely people.

It was great to be welcomed early with our baby. I love the friendly, personalised atmosphere.

Good food, nice vibes and lovely staff. The wait was a bit long but that was due to technical issues. Overall, great experience!

We are def going back for the amazing Lava dessert

Rick and team always greet customers with a warm smile. No ask is too big for them. Really delicious food, really lovely facilities, really welcoming staff. Will continue to travel to distance to eat here.

The venue was great value and had awesome friendly service.

The staff there were absolutely beautiful. it’s a nice welcoming restaurant. I didn’t have to worry about cross contamination as everything has gluten free options and more allergy free options. the food was amazing

The food is amazing and it is wheelchair accessible. Rick and his staff are so welcoming and go out of their way to make sure any food allergies are covered. Best place to go :)

Great food. Incredible knowledge of GF and Coeliac conditions. Super friendly staff. Will definitely go back again soon.

Amazing food, wonderful friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere. 100% will eat here again and recommend to others.

Wonderful food and night out with family.will be coming back.

Awesome resturant and the teams awareness and catering to multiple food allergies needs to be commended. I thought the Parma was one of the best Parma’s I have had.

Literally the best restaurant I have EVER been to as a coeliac. Rick was awesome and all the staff were so nice. Will definitely be going back next time we are down from the Gold Coast Will be encouraging family and friends in Victoria to also visit. Food was amazing. The only time EVER was treated as a real person and not someone who had issues with food. All courses tasted amazing and SAFE for me. My three companions who were not coeliacs also loved all of the food.

Great atmosphere and excellent food, will come back to test the roof top one sunny day

Great tasty gluten free options. Lovely friendly and welcoming service. The GF donuts a must try.

Great service! We loved being spoilt for choice on Gluten Free options

Atmosphere was nice. Never came back for drinks orders until we got out food. Caesar salad was served with no bacon but was on the menu and iceberg lettuce. Steak was chewy and vegetables appeared to look like frozen packet ones. Even though great GF options but needs to be elevated for a restaurant charging those prices, frankly I can cook better tasting and presenting GF food. It was disappointing as it’s rare to eat out safe but had higher expectations and the cost $170 didn’t not match.

We ate Calamari and the southern fried chicken. Our meals were delicious. My wife is coeliac and she enjoyed the gluten free meals. Rick offered us gluten free dessert and we both loved it even though we were already full! Great wine selection at reasonable prices. We will be back!

Very pleasant staff and lovely food. Was very happy with my G F seafood pasta option. 😊

Had a fantastic time Ricks place. The food was amazing and so was the Service 100% recommend. It’s awesome that they cater to all dietary requirements

Food was amazing, Rick and his staff were super friendly. Thouroughly enjoyed our dining experience.

Food excellent as always. All the staff was great and they let us have a look at the rooftop.

Rick made our daughter who has coeliacs feel like a queen and the most important person at our table, which certainly doesn’t happen elsewhere. To top that off he customised a delicious dish for her and the food for the rest of us was just as good. Will be returning, and cannot recommend enough

Great place! Food was delicious and kods were very happy.

Ricks was recommended to me by work colleagues, and I must say that this is a hidden gem which is not so hidden. It's not crowded, it's not noisy, the selection of food for those with dietary requirements is amazing and unlike a lot of places, Rick makes sure that there is no cross contamination. Would I go back again? In a heartbeat. Rick is quick to pick up on good old fashion banter and can banter with the best of us.

One happy Celiac here! It was so nice to have a Chicken Parma!!!! Lovely food and inviting atmosphere :)

Amazing! Beautiful, perfect food with a truly engaging host who knows how to make a coeliac happy! Must go to for anyone with food allergies, or anyone just wanting a beautiful meal!

Rick , the owner is very welcoming and accommodating to all your dietary requirements. Great service and good food.

Dining at Rick's place was an absolute pleasure. Rick was there and was truly passionate about the food and experience he delivered to us. It truly felt like going over to 'Ricks place' for a genuine, honest home cooked meal. For a GF or coeliac it comes even more highly rated because you can take the pick of the whole menu. Even better for people who can handle their glueten the food is all also available *with* glueten!

Firstly Rick was extremely hospitable, warm and friendly. He made certain that our dietary requirements were met, and on top of that every dish we ordered was amazing. Best salt and pepper calamari I ever had.

Great tasting food. Very friendly service. Amazing gluten-free options without the risk of cross-contamination. Will be back
