Ricardo Steak House
Two brothers with deep roots in New York decided to build something beyond just a restaurant. When Jimmy and Eddie Mateus completed their five-story residential project in Spanish Harlem, they spotted an opportunity at ground level to create a gathering place they'd always wanted. The result channels the energy of an open kitchen theater where premium angus beef and house-crafted seasonings take center stage, wrapped in the warmth of a Latino steakhouse reimagined for modern tastes. Winter evenings here feel especially intimate, with the exposed kitchen's heat radiating through the room and the bar's glow reflecting off the long counter where diners linger. You get elevated cooking at accessible prices in a spacious, sexy space that flows from interior to open-air terrace. It's become the kind of destination that pulls people from across the tri-state region while fueling the neighborhood's continued momentum.
